Thunderbird Chapel

This place was absolutely wonderful!! The coordinator was super friendly and caring and we have a very special experience. They are very efficient and have everything provided that a bride might forget to bring the day of her wedding (ex. bridal room stuff). The food tasted so good. I would 100% recommend this venue to everyone.

The people working here were so friendly and helpful. Always ready to answer questions before wedding and always had a pleasant, patient response. During rehearsal they kept us focused and on time. The wedding day was amazing with smooth coordinated work by professionals. We did not have to think about hardly anything except having fun. I thought clean up would be hectic but they had everything together and all we had to do was carry it out. Thank you Thunderbird for a memorable day.

The staff at Thunderbird Chapel were the absolute best from the first moment we walked in the door. Every time we asked a question, they always answered us promplty. The day of the wedding could of not gone more perfectly. The chapel and reception were set up perfectly and beautifully. The food was very good and plentiful. Staff was very good and polite. We were thrilled with Thunderbird and made our daughter's wedding day perfect.

This chapel is just beautiful. The staff is wonderful and I experienced no issues during our wedding. Leslie, the wedding coordinator, was wonderful! I really don't know what we would have done without her...there probably would have been a lot of standing around looking at one another wondering what to do next if it wasn't for her! Thank you Leslie! The rest of the staff was wonderful too. They packed up food for us which was super sweet as we did not have enough time to eat during the festivities! They also packed up extra cake for not only us but for my grandparents who were unable to make it to the wedding. I would definitely recommend the Thunderbird Chapel. It is beautiful anytime of year and the staff made our day flow so smoothly and saved us a lot of stress! We really appreciated everything they did! Thank you Thunderbird...

Everything was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! Kara was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing! If given the option to go back and do it all over again, I would not have changed a thing!!

I was told by a friend that this venue will take care of literally EVERYTHING. And they were right! Even a decoration that was put in last minute they quickly verified what I wanted and took care of it! It was phenomenal! Beautiful everything.

Thunderbird Chapel is absolutely beautiful. My daughter was married 4 weeks ago and we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. The staff took care of everything. We brought our decorations to rehearsal and on her wedding day all we had to do was show up. Everything was set up and it looked amazing. At the end of the reception they had everything packed up and ready to go home by the time we got back inside after the send off. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Sugars made the cake exactly the way my daughter requested. The DJ, Ray, of Ray's Kickin' Karaoke, did an outstanding job with the reception. As the mother of the bride it was a pleasure to get to enjoy my daughters special day without worrying about the details.

The chapel was absolutely beautiful! The day-of staff was excellent at keeping the bride at ease (i.e. not letting her in on all the little stuff that was causing issue). They also took care of all the setup and coordination of the wedding and reception. The only real complaint about the Thunderbird Chapel was that they were not always very easy to get ahold of, and that they were not good at all about reminding us of upcoming payment due dates. So, if you are really good at managing your payment due dates, this should not be an issue for you at all.

After what felt like an exhaustive internet search to check out all possible ceremony and reception venues, I seemed to keep coming back to Thunderbird Chapel. I didn’t have a home church with a building suitable for a wedding and the idea of holding the ceremony and reception at two different locations didn’t appeal to me as most of my family and other guests would be coming from out of state for the wedding. Once we finally narrowed it down to a place that could host both ceremony and reception, Thunderbird rose to the top. We visited and fell in love. The chapel’s soaring ceilings, wood interior, and windows looking out onto Oklahoma greenery were simple and natural but very elegant. The attached reception area had room for everything necessary…tables, chairs, buffet line, and a dance floor! The package included a day of the wedding coordinator, décor & clean up in the reception area, and a $300 cake voucher at one of three vendors. There were no strange and unnecessary things in the package to up the cost (things we saw at similar places were ice sculptures, limos, chocolate covered strawberries…nice but not necessary).We booked immediately without visiting any other venues and began the 11 month countdown to our wedding. The staff were very responsive to phone calls and e-mails and had great insight for all of my questions. Leslie was especially helpful and fielded my stressed out calls the week of the wedding about random things like whether she thought there would be a tornado on my wedding day. The rehearsal the day before the wedding was run very efficiently and yet was still fun. On the day of the wedding, I felt a great sense of peace and excitement as soon as I got to the chapel because I knew everything would be ok from there on out. Our coordinator was careful to check in with us about all the details and helped everyone know where to be when. The décor in the reception area was just as we had asked it to be and looked lovely. I was so glad that my female relatives didn't get stuck staying up till midnight working on table decor! The only hitch in an otherwise perfect wedding was that our recessional song was begun too early and drowned out a special benediction written for us that was being read by our pastor. It was likely due to lack of very specific communication with the sound tech about the exact moment it needed to start, but he played it again at the right time and we skipped down the aisle in glee. We did not use Thunderbird’s catering service because my husband and I are both foodies. I was not impressed with the menu choices, so we used an outside caterer. However, a friend who was married here used their service and said the food tasted good. It would probably be a good choice for budget conscious brides who aren’t as interested in a super cool menu. Because we used an outside caterer, we had to pay $2 per person. However, this covered the use of the dishes, silverware, and glasses from the chapel so it wasn’t a big deal to us. The Thunderbird Chapel wait staff seemed to be interacting well with our caterer’s staff, and there were plenty of people to refill drinks or clear plates. Two things that I was a bit worried about were the strict space restrictions on guests and the time limit of five hours. However, each of these turned out fine for us. Thunderbird Chapel can only seat 130 people and charge a fee per person above that. I was so worried that we would be close to or above our limit. But as all the wedding experts tell you, there were people who canceled on us in the last week or two and then quite a few no shows the day of the wedding. So we were well under our RSVP list of 120 guests. Also, we had the chapel from 5-10 on a Saturday night with the wedding starting at 7:00. Although we had the option to purchase another hour, we hoped we would be able to squeeze everything into our allotted time. By choosing to see my groom before the wedding, we breezed through our post-ceremony pictures in 20 minutes and had plenty of time to eat, greet, and dance before leaving about 9:40pm. The staff were wonderful and helpful with anything we needed, including bustling my dress. Our deposit was waiting for us when we got home from the honeymoon, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I would recommend this venue for anyone who is confident that 130 spots would hold their nearest and dearest family and friends. The beauty of the venue, the great service, and the value for what you receive make it a great choice!

The Thunderbird Chapel was the most amazing part of my Wedding I felt like a true princess. The staff was amazing, they took care of everything. Everyone that came to my wedding had nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff and the beauty of the place it was magical and I would recommend it to any bride that is thinking about getting married. The only thing that I would have done different is I would have had a microphone up on stage so everyone could hear what we was saying which the chapel would have supplied. Thank you thunderbird chapel for everything you did you trul;y made my day a special event

I absolutely recommend this place to any bride. With the exception of one particular issue, the chapel and staff came through with exceptional courtesy and professionalism. I wouldn't choose another place if I had it to do again.

A perfect wedding! Couldn't have asked for more!

The venue is beautiful at any time of year! So convenient to have the chapel and reception hall connected--no one got lost going from one to the other. Staff was great! They were so accommodating and knew how everything should go. Let them take care of things and your wedding with be gorgeous!

Thunderbird Chapel is an absolutely beautiful venue to get married if you are having a smaller wedding. Their staff is amazing, and they walk you through every detail of the wedding, so you have your own personal wedding planner to keep you calm and collected. The entire day from start to finish flows so smoothly, that you don't have to worry about anything. This chapel was definitly worth the price. If you haven't seen this chapel, you must definitely check it out!

Wow! These folks are amazing! They really seemed to care about making our wedding so special. They did everything they promised and much, much more. I would highly recommend Thunderbird Chapel as the way to go to have a dream come true wedding!

Great Chapel. Would reccommend to ANYONE.. A bit pricey but worth it for all you get in the package. Great staff and beautiful chapel!!

Ron and Cheryl are both wonderful. They know what they're doing and are fabulous at keeping things flowing along. Their staff is kind and thorough, and the chapel is flat-out gorgeous. I'm still getting comments about that, actually.

Incredible to work with, would make the same decision again in a heartbeat.

From the moment we walked into Thunderbird Chapel, we knew it was the place we had been looking for. We looked for six months before we found them. Ron & Judy (owners) were so helpful, friendly, and loving, it was almost like we had always known them. Judy is a licensed psychologist and for no extra cost, provides marriage counseling prior to the wedding day. Once you complete the marriage counseling she will give you a certificate to present for a discount on your marriage licensed. We got our license for $5.00 compared to full price $50.00. Then she will help guide you in your ceremony, and the reception. They then provide and run the sound system during the ceremony and they did our reception. You can also have a DJ if preferred. She made sure we stayed happy, calm and had everything me, my fiance, and our wedding party could ever need. They also handled when the flowers and cake were delivered. They made sure our reception was set up just as we discussed and that everything ran smoothly. They were also one of the cheapest chapels we found for all the beauty, and service we were given. Love, love, love this place. They made my wedding PERFECT!
