Our Reception...
We chose the Tulsa Country Club because of its close proximity to the Sharp Chapel, and we loved how all the windows would give us the nighttime view of the downtown Tulsa skyline. We also envisioned the club's dining room with its dark stained walls enhancing our vineyard theme.....It, too, was perfect.
