“The team was professional, communicative, and on time! Our artists, Carol and DarylAnne, provided a calm and caring environment. I overheard them carrying on conversations with my bridal party and had all the warm and fuzzies. Carol checked in when she noticed my energy levels dipping (make sure you eat even if you don't feel hungry!). Kasha was responsive to my emails and very organized. I would highly recommend!”

​At The Blue Oak Company, we believe a perfect event requires a stunning vision and flawless execution. We specialize in premium bridal rentals that set the stage for your most cherished memories.

Our team masterfully manages logistics, vendors, and timelines including the "family favorite" decor setup and end of night cleanup. We want you to enjoy every moment of your celebration. At The Blue Oak Company, let us be your "something blue."

“The Blue Oak Company Bridal & Event Rentals provided absolute peace of mind for our entire wedding weekend. Their communication was super easy - they were available via text, email, or messenger to address any of our questions or concerns. The quality of their work and value was excellent - they were very budget conscious and respectful of our design vision. For example, they suggested cost-saving centerpiece options that gave the same look as a high-end quote. We didn't even know we had a sick groomsman right before the ceremony, but the issues they handled behind the scenes meant we never even knew about it. Having them lead our rehearsal and practice made us feel so prepared, and their professional coordination allowed us to stay present and enjoy every moment, from the stunning decor setup to the end-of-night cleanup. We're so grateful to the Blue Oak Company for making our wedding day truly special.”

“My husband and I recently had our wedding at Westclox Event Center, and we truly could not have chosen a better venue. From the beautiful historic building to the incredible staff, everything exceeded our expectations. We had 315 guests, and the venue accommodated everyone comfortably while still feeling warm and inviting. So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the space was. The bridal suite was also wonderful and gave us the perfect place to get ready and relax throughout the day. The biggest reason our day was so successful, however, was our wedding coordinator, Ava. She was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Throughout the entire day, she continuously checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and somehow always appeared right when we needed her. She truly made us feel like her top priority. What impressed me most was how she handled unexpected challenges. During our reception, an issue arose with the bar inventory that could have become a major problem for an event of our size. Instead of allowing it to impact our guests or our experience, Ava immediately jumped into action, found solutions, coordinated replacements, and resolved everything incredibly quickly. Most importantly, she handled it all behind the scenes so that my husband and I never had to worry about it or spend a single minute of our wedding day dealing with it. That level of professionalism is priceless. Anyone can manage an event when everything goes perfectly. The true test is how problems are handled when they arise, and Ava exceeded every expectation. She was organized, proactive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making our day special. Looking back, I can honestly say that choosing Westclox Event Center was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. The venue is beautiful, the atmosphere is incredible, and the staff truly care about giving couples an amazing experience. We are so grateful to Ava and the entire Westclox team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect.”

“Haylie with Heirloom Event Company was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized and consistently thought of details we never would have considered on our own. Leading up to our November 2025 wedding, we met weekly, and Haylie made sure we had everything in place to create the wedding of our dreams. I had a clear vision of what I wanted our wedding day to look like, and Haylie went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was executed perfectly. There is truly no way we could have done this ourselves, especially during the week of and the day of the wedding. Haylie coordinated all of our vendors, set up the decor, and made sure I was taken care of throughout the entire day. As a bride, having that level of support made the experience so much calmer and more enjoyable. Our guests are still talking about how beautifully everything flowed and how perfectly executed the day was. That would not have been possible without Haylie and her incredible team.

Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.”

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

The quality of their work and value provided was exceptional - the flowers we received were absolutely gorgeous, and their helpful tutorials made it easy for us to prepare everything for the wedding. My daughter loved her beautiful wedding bouquet and the way all the centerpieces for the reception turned out. We did have a few minor glitches with the delivery, but Alexa was *so* responsive and helpful, providing tracking information and overnighting replacement flowers when the colors weren't what we expected. Her fast response time and practical support made the whole experience really positive. We're very grateful for the value and care we received from Flower Moxie!”
