One of the most challenging steps in planning a wedding is finding the perfect location, and for several years the Tulsa metro area has been limited to only a handful of places available for such an important event. That’s why Debbie Hunter, owner of Signature Interiors, had the idea to establish a beautiful new event center for weddings and other special occasions. “My initial plan was to open a bed and breakfast when a friend asked me to host her wedding at the ranch. It was such a gorgeous ceremony, and working with so many brides at Signature over the years, I knew this was a niche that needed to be filled.”
In addition to weddings and other large events such as church picnics, business retreats, retirement and graduation parties, OK40 Ranch offers romantic getaways for two and relaxing weekends away for small groups of friends. “Whether your party is two people or 150, OK40 Ranch provides the ambiance of a charming B&B with the amenities of a luxurious upscale hotel,” says Debbie.
The tranquil ranch offers 40 acres of walking and riding trails, horseback riding, two stocked ponds for fishing, and a bonfire pit. “We are in the middle of nowhere, and that is exactly where we want to be. The stars are clear and bright, and the atmosphere is so peaceful,” says Debbie. “A weekend at OK40 Ranch would make a wonderful gift for your Valentine’s Day sweetheart.”
The beautiful event center features vibrant, hip décor, a complete spa room with professional massage available, library, workout room, sauna, hot tub and media room. Overnight guests will enjoy luxury linens, room-darkening shades, 42” plasma televisions, movies on demand and high-speed Internet. The Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design of the interior features 26-foot ceilings and solar energy windows which maximize the use of sunlight. “You truly get the best of both worlds – sophisticated, modern luxury in a serene country atmosphere,” says Debbie.
