Just a FEW Fall Dates left!

In case you didn't know we have been undergoing some incredible remodels over the past two months. We now have a brand new, state of the art sound system and a new sound booth in the room. If you have been at the theatre before you know we used to control all the sound and lighting from upstairs. It was such a hassle! Now everything is easily controlled within the room and with all new equipment.

In fact, some of my best guys from Cory's AV stated that we are "concerting out" the theatre because of our excellent sound system. We don't do a ton of concerts, because we prefer providing full service events to our clients, things like weddings, seated dinners, incredible receptions, parties, fundraisers, those are right up our alley. The new sound is AWESOME! Many of our monthly customers have already commented on how much better it sounds in the theatre, and we are still waiting on more speakers to be installed.

In addition to all new sound we are also getting all new LED lighting features. These lights are simply divine. If you love to look of specialty lighting, custom color washes and unique room ambience achieved with lighting then look no further for your next event. We are still waiting on installation for these beauties but they are going to be FABULOUS when they are done!

All of this comes in right after our beautiful new bar! Rich wood, custom sconces, LED lighting, vintage detailing and black granite make this bar the showstopping feature of the room!

Stop by if you want to see everything that is happening at the WRT, we always welcome visitors!

A Winter wedding in the Spring?

Hello all!!

It's Justo, the wedding coordinator! I am finally getting into putting up stuff on our blog like I should be. We are glad it is spring, but who knew we would have this winter weather?? Once again I feel truly blessed to have the job that I do and to have the wonderful opportunity to work with the BEST brides in Oklahoma City. My beautiful bride tonight, Rachel McFarland is a dream! Her reception has come together without a hitch. I attribute this to her positive attitude and her planning. In the two years that I have been doing this job, I have come to realize that this is what makes for a great reception. Be positive! If you are so worried about things going wrong, they are going to go wrong. Just remember, your guests are probably not going to know if anything does go wrong, so why worry about it. Enjoy your day, because marriage is such a beautiful thing. I am hoping I can get one of her bridal portraits to add to the page. It looks like it came right out of Vogue! I still have a few hours before the reception starts and I am so looking forward to it! Oh, and if you have not been by the Theatre yet to see the new bar, you are going to have to. It is the new crowning glory of the Theatre. A replica of the newly renovated Lobby Bar, it is quite a site to behold! So, stop by and say hi and look at the many renovations we are currently doing to our historic site. Imagine the possibilities of having YOUR wedding reception here and then being able to have your 50th wedding anniversary here as well, as the theatre has been here for over 60 years, and we want to keep this beautiful landmark here for at least another 60! We will be posting new pics of the bar as soon as we can!!

Exciting Things are Happening at the WRT!

I am listening to the sound of exciting things happening here at the WRT!

We are remodeling in the theatre! We are completely gutting the bar area and installing a brand new, BEAUTIFUL bar that fits the room to a tee. It is art deco in style with gorgeous wood detailing and a black granite countertop. It is beautiful!

We are also getting ready to do a complete overhaul of the sound and lighting in the theatre. We are getting LED's, color washes, new sound system and the best part is that everything will be controlled from a top of the line sound booth inside the room. We are super excited about this change because it will be a huge improvement for all of our customers!

I will keep the blog updated so you can come by and see the WRT once it is completed and looking great!
Always,
Jessica
