Candy Buffet or...
In the past few years we have seen the rise of the candy buffet as the ideal collaboration between party favor and room decor.
A well done candy buffet incorporates numerous candies, many times in the party color scheme, interesting containers, and varying heights. Specialty linens or a simple organza topper adds visual interest to the candy buffet. Our neighborhood candy shop, 42nd Street Candy Company offers a candy buffet service. You can pick from their huge inventory of specialty candies and they can even set everything up and provide you with their beautiful glass containers.
Labels and candy scoops are important details so don't forget about them! Guests want to know what they are eating and they don't want to use their fingers to dig into your candy display. Don't forget the to-go packages, from chinese take out boxes, silver tins, or organza favor bags, your guests are sure to want to take some goodies home for later!
Glass apothecary jars make a beautiful presentation, just watch out for suction top lids. Remove them prior to service to prevent an accident with your guests!
My favorite new twist on the candy buffet is the gourmet popcorn buffet...from cheddar, caramel corn, to candy coated in your wedding colors, it's a unique twist your guests will love! What about a warm cookie buffet? A simple and cost affordable option, serve them up warm with shooters of cold milk for that midnight snack that everyone adores!
Enjoy!Always,

Congratulations Tamara and Todd!
Another beautiful wedding is done here at the Will Rogers Theatre. This weekend we had the pleasure of working with Tamara and Todd, another one of our favorite couples. Todd is a great customer at our sister restaurant, Musashi’s and Tamara lives right in the neighborhood so we were so pleased when they chose the Will Rogers Theatre for their wedding reception.
With over 200 guests and a classic black, white and red color scheme, the Will Rogers Theatre was stunning as usual. The guests dined on some of the couple’s favorite sushi rolls such as the grasshopper roll and the crazy Cajun roll. Passed hors d oeuvres added an elegant touch to the food service and champagne provided the perfect accompaniment. A live band added the musical flair that kept the guests moving and mingling.
A candy bar was provided our neighbor, 42nd Street Candy and it was a hit! All in all, it was another successful reception here at the Will Rogers Theatre and we couldn’t be more pleased to do it all for Tamara and Todd.
Congratulations to another beautiful couple! Have a wonderful honeymoon!

Holiday Parties
The weather is getting cooler and fall is here...but the Christmas season is right around the corner. It's officially October!
If your company hasn't booked your annual holiday party yet I kindly suggest you get on the ball! Holiday dates are booking very quickly. At this point in the year you may need to consider a Thursday, Friday or Sunday for your evening event.
Daytimes are a bit easier to get on the calendar and we still offer NO ROOM RENTAL for daytime meetings with catering for a minimum of 25 guests. It's a great deal!
We are also available for off premise catering, meaning we can bring our delicious and beautiful food straight to you! We can do drop off only for the entertainer who wants to serve her guests and take care of the house or we can do EVERYTHING for the host who wants to truly relax and enjoy their party.
Contact us today to get on the December calendar. We would love to fit you in before our dates are gone!

Reception Location: Will Rogers Theater- A++++They truly went above and beyond to make our reception perfect and beautiful. They even helped my coordinator tie the bows on all the chairs and helped me to format the DVD slideshow so it would loop automatically. Service was absolutely excellent and it was a perfect venue for our wedding. I would recommend to anyone! Also large dance area which was a huge plus for us!!
Thank you Ashleigh! We loved working with you too!

Happy Customers Make Us Happy
We recieved an email today from Nancy with Harding Charter Prep School. Harding Charter Prep is a great school located near the theatre.
For the past three years we have had the honor of hosting their annual school auction and senior breakfast. Next year, they are even adding their Prom to our list of events!
Last Thursday they held their annual auction to raise money for the school. The entertainment was great as usual and they raised a bundle! Nancy was also kind enough to send us some feedback from their event....
"Jessica: I wanted to thank you and your staff for helping us make our event last Thursday a success. The staff was wonderful...thank you, the evening was perfect. I especially liked the bartender that night. He was awesome and very helpful...thank you for being so great to work with. Nancy"
The bartender that night was actually Ben, our parties and reunions Event Coordinator. Now you see why we love him and Harding Charter Prep!

Congratulations Candice and Pete!
Another wedding reception done here at the Will Rogers Theatre.
Candice and Pete are one of the sweetest couples we have worked with. Candice had an awesome vision for her wedding reception that included warm fall colors and lots of special details.
The tables were draped in chocolate brown tableclothes and Ivory Toppers. Each chair featured a handtied ribbon and place card. Rich gold chargers and chocolate napkins accented the large candle centerpieces and individual wedding cookie favors.
There were candles and fall flowers galore and the bride and the theatre looked stunning. We can't wait to get pictures back from their photographer and share them with you!
So Congratulations again to Candice and Pete! Your reception here at the Will Rogers Theatre was unforgettable!

We always allow candles to be used for decor. Nothing illuminates your reception like strategically placed candlelight.

Welcome to Our Blog
We figured it was time that the Will Rogers Theatre join the blog world. Here you will find vendor recommendations, event advice and highlights of the event industry!
The Will Rogers Theatre was built in 1946 as a neighborhood movie theatre. It functioned in this capacity for many years. Unfortunately with the boom of multi screen theatres we saw the Will Rogers Theatre close for several years.
Owners Carl and Anita Milam had a vision to revive the Will Rogers Theatre as the city's premier event location. Renovations and improvements transformed the Will Rogers Theatre from a rundown concert venue to an elegant and unique venue for wedding receptions, business events and holiday parties.
If you haven't visited us lately, come check us out! We are here and we are thriving. Surrounded by some of Oklahoma City's oldest and finest neighborhoods and housing Will's Cafe and The Lobby Bar this is one Oklahoma landmark you don't want to miss!
For more information on parties and private events please visit our website HERE.
Welcome, please come back often!
