Maya HartleyNot everyone can throw a party—like me, for example. I thought I could throw a stress-free birthday party for my sister (who has an unreasonable number of friends, BTW). But it wasn’t easy. I was losing hair, getting cranky, and running on fumes.
Event planning lasts for months, and involves so many things all at once—the theme, decorations, food, emcee, sound system, and more! It seems impossible, maybe for regular people like you and me, but not for the pros.
My team and I have been to lots of events, and we know how to spot badly managed ones from perfectly stress-free parties. So, below are our trusted event planners in OKC, who will assist you from start to finish! Read on!
1. Blair Sims Events
Best For: Luxury weddings
Address: 1000 W Wilshire Blvd
Contact: Online form
Hours: Monday – Friday: 9 am – 5 pm
When it comes to luxury weddings, Blair Sims Events can deliver your exact vision to reality. They bring everything to the table by offering full wedding planning services.
They take away the stress from their clients, grabbing the reins from beginning to end. To give you an idea, they handle planning, budget construction, vendors, rehearsals, decorations, and overall design.
In addition, their services include accommodation and travel planning. As a wedding planner in OKC, they’re solid except for birthdays and corporate events since they strictly do weddings.
But if you want to keep it nice and simple, their packages include partial services for couples who need extra help with specific details.
Plus, the attention to detail is unmatched, regardless of the package, as every single thing we’ve seen has been carefully and effortlessly planned.
The catch is, they’re not ideal for small weddings, since they mostly work on events with budgets of $75,000 and above. They’re all about luxury celebrations, after all.
Without a doubt, the best wedding planner in OK
“Blair is without a doubt the best wedding planner in OK. She has this ability to make you feel like the only bride in the world, I always felt like I was being prioritized and she made me feel very special. For how busy she is it is amazing how much care, love, and passion she puts into each individual wedding. Thanks to her my husband and I were stress free come wedding week, which I had expected to be a scattered mess. She took care of truly EVERYTHING including setting up on wedding day IN THE RAIN. I love her and adore her and without a doubt consider her a dear friend. I know our wedding would not have been the picture perfect night that it was with a year of wedding planning made fun and stress free if it was not for picking Blair as our wedding planner! We would pick Blair EVERY TIME!”

Intuitive, reliable, and professional
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Blair! Not only is she sweet and fun, she is intuitive, reliable and professional. Blair has a great working relationship with the best wedding service providers. She meticulously planned every detail of our daughter’s wedding, making it stress free and enjoyable. It was absolutely beautiful and it flowed seamlessly. It was truly a magical evening and we couldn’t have been happier. I would hire her over and over again!!”

2. Eventures
Best For: All types of events
Address: 340 Vermont Ave #135
Contact: (405) 755-3333, [email protected]
Hours: By appointment
Eventures wowed us from the very beginning, which was hardly surprising with their over three decades of experience planning all kinds of events, including weddings, celebrations, corporate parties, and private gatherings.
The flexibility also left an impression, as they cater to all budgets. It’s due to their various packages, which accommodate all needs, from a quick 10-hour assistance to a full-on customizable planning.
What most clients truly appreciated was the overall convenience, since there was no need to rent from a third-party service. Incredible, really, since this event planning service has rental equipment, furniture, and decor—like a planner and vendor in one!
In fact, their 50,000 sq ft warehouse is filled with everything you need for your event, from drinkware to decor to stage setups. And these are well-maintained, with loads of options to cater to every motif.
You should know that they’re booked and busy, which is a good thing in the event coordinating industry, but a downside for clients with limited time to plan a party.
The experience with them was nothing less than incredible
“Eventures saved my wedding!!! All I can say is just WOW!!! The experience with them was nothing less than incredible. From the staff to the decor and set up, this team came together and made our dreams come true and beyond. I will never trust anyone else to put together another event for my family. This is our team, friends and family now. Thank you Mary Ellen, Hannah and the rest of the team”

Wonderful to work with
“Callie at Eventures Inc. was absolutely wonderful to work for. The company that I work for needed something fast and they had it handled faster than we could have hoped for. What was an “oops” on my part was quickly remedied by Callie and her team. We will definitely use them again. It was a fast, seamless and painless process. Thank you Callie!”

3. Faithful Events
Best For: Thoughtfully curated wedding celebrations
Address: 722 N Broadway Ave #201
Contact: [email protected]
Hours:
- Tuesday – Thursday: 9 am – 5 pm
- Friday – Saturday: 9 am – 12 pm
The packages offered by Faithful Events completely pulled us in, as they’re all about tailoring their services to accommodate the client’s needs, goals, and budget. We mostly like them for wedding celebrations that won’t cost six digits.
Their wedding planning packages come in three types: full planning, partial planning, and 60-day coordination. Essentially, full planning is for those who want to leave all the work to their event planner, while partial planning is for extra assistance.
What we appreciate is their 60-day coordination service, which is made to lend an extra hand so the bride and groom can finalize the details. And they do the job well, as their clients praised how they carefully handled mishaps before the wedding.
But they only plan weddings, so their limited services are a bummer. On the bright side, they’re an event planning company in OKC that doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg, given that their rates start at only $1,800.
The best choice we could have made
“Faithful Events was the best choice we could have made for our wedding planning process. We truly had a dream team of vendors that were excited about our vision and our wedding day that we wouldn’t have found without our planner Mikaela. Mikaela was so well organized and made sure every detail was exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I can’t imagine having planned my wedding without her. Our wedding day was perfect— so much love to the Faithful Events Team!!”

Incredibly kind, hard-working, and thoughtful
“So much to say about this amazing group of girls! They are incredibly kind, hard working, thoughtful, always pay attention to detail and execute each wedding day flawlessly. They truly have hearts of gold! Faithful Events treat their clients and vendors like family and always put their needs first. I am confident that these girls will bring your vision to life and make all of your wedding dreams come true. Hiring Faithful Events will be one of the best decisions you can make during the planning process! As a fellow vendor, I cannot recommend Faithful Events Co enough.”

4. Lauryn Lamb Events
Best For: Modern and classic celebrations
Contact: 405-295-5205, [email protected]
Hours: Monday – Thursday: 9 am – 6 pm
If you want your party to look classically modern, Lauryn Lamb Events is worth looking into. Their event planners sure know what they’re doing—and they do it well—as they’ve been featured in various magazines, like Brides of Oklahoma.
It was honestly expected. When we took a closer look at their portfolio, we were amazed by the design details and how every single piece of decor goes together. Even the couples we spoke with noted that their wedding went beyond their expectations.
Something to smile about is their flexibility, because despite specializing in weddings, they’re still available for other types of celebrations, like birthdays. Everything’s tailored for every client, which is how they can accommodate unique events.
Plus, they offer full (for start-to-end planning) and partial (for extra assistance) planning packages, adding to their flexibility. The starting rates for these aren’t ridiculously high, making them suitable for all budgets.
However, they’re always on the go, so availability won’t always come around. We recommend reaching out at least a year before your event, just to lock in that slot.
Such an amazing wedding planner
“Lauryn was such an amazing wedding planner! From the very beginning she was kind, caring and made sure our day was fabulous! She has a fabulous eye for detail and made sure I had everything I wanted while staying in budget! I added some photos to show how she designed the room, it was stunning and I get compliments constantly on the details. She made wedding planning an absolute breeze. The day itself ran so smoothly and my husband I were able to focus on our marriage and our guests rather than all that goes into organizing the day! Lauryn goes above and beyond what she is asked to do and I could not have had a better planner, I highly recommend her to anyone looking! Thank you for making our day spectacular!”
-Meredith Turbeville, Google Review
I wouldn’t have been able to pull off such a beautiful wedding without her
“Lauryn is amazing. She’s in OK, but I and my friend used her in Texas. Our meetings were done virtual, but she arrived 2 hours prior for our rehearsal, set it all up, spent the night at a local hotel, and she was back at our venue the next morning at 8:45 AM. I wouldn’t of been able to pull off such a beautiful wedding without her.❤️”

5. Tied and True
Best For: Nature-inspired weddings
Contact: 419-348-4504, [email protected]
Hours: Monday – Sunday: 9 am – 6 pm
We were invited to a wedding in OKC that was truly jaw-dropping; we simply had to include the event planner on our list! Tied and True brings their A-game with fresh and creative ideas, where every event is influenced by nature.
It helps that they offer several packages to accommodate every need, whether you need an event planner to handle every single thing or extra assistance. There’s custom planning, a full service package, and a day of the month coordination.
Plus, they’re ideal for every budget and need. Their wedding planning consultation is a 2-hour appointment where you’ll tap into your planner’s expertise—ideal for couples who want to plan their own wedding but need to know where and how to start.
It would’ve been perfect if they catered to events other than weddings. Anyway, their rates aren’t that expensive, with a custom package starting at $2,399, so you won’t need to fork out a whole ton of money for a wedding.
Helped make the wedding planning process so easy
“Taryn helped make the wedding planning process so easy! When it came to the wedding day and rehearsal she made it go so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about vendors or people coming to ask me questions. She was the main point of contact and was able to answer everything without having to come ask me because we covered it weeks ahead of time. If you need someone to make your night magical she is your gal!”
-Maleia Mieseler, Google Review
Amazing to work with
“Taryn was amazing to work with! We used Tied and True Events for our wedding. She was extremely communicative leading up to our day, and she and Lauren ran our wedding so smoothly and wonderfully that we had a great time without stress. Taryn has a laid back/no stress attitude with exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail – everything that you would want from the person planning/running your event. We were so glad to have her and grateful for her time!”
