Inspired Space on Positively 17th Street…read more I met the proprietor, the delightful and insightful Corrie Moore, yesterday before another of Tennille McCallister's epic kundalini yoga classes. T's inspired "find yourself in practice" yoga style is less about sweat and twists and more about purifying the spirit as you reconnect with your highest self. Your body, mind and spirit are equally engaged. There is also cause for joy and laughter. Yes, please, I will have another serving. It's like a guilt-free dessert buffet without the calories. The chi gallery and meeting spaces are warm and inviting - an authentic representation of the inspiring people who share their gifts within these walls and the enlightened community they have chosen to build. Of course, you may also rent the space(s) for an inspirational gathering, party or special event. Invite more healing energy into your life. No batteries are required.

My dad gets to the venue the day of and we realized that my husband had given them the wrong date for the dinner. The venue scrambled and worked so hard to make a dinner for thirty people with no notice and it was amazing!

I've been to special events here several times. They host some of the best wine dinners in Oklahoma…read moreCity, and more casual events as well. The space can be rented out for your own private party, with catering from any of the Western Concepts (Lobby Bar, Musashi's, Sushi Neko, Coach House, etc). They have a large private room as well as a beautiful outdoor patio. They also have a beautiful working kitchen, which is home to cooking classes by local chefs, and has also been used for local cooking shows. I think a few local chefs have also filmed pilot TV shows for cooking shows here, since it's set up for that as well. The folks who work for Western Concepts are among the best in the OKC food scene. They are always trying inventive menus and will work with you to create the event of your dreams, within your budget. They recently catered an event that I hosted at Savory Spice Shop, just around the corner, and I loved the creativity that went into making the menu. Bonus of having events here: your guests have access to a huge parking lot, nice restrooms and a beautiful new entry hall. With Lobby Bar nearby, they can enjoy a drink in the bar before of after.

TL;DR....Beautiful venue but would not recommend mainly due to lack of communication from the…read moreowner. My best friend rented this venue for her wedding ceremony in June and although the event space was beautiful, the owner (Rachel) and some of the staff did not meet expectations. I understand that the venue is a historical monument to the city (old post office from 1915), but certain rules made it impossible to efficiently utilize the space. One example is that no large, heavy, or bulky items can enter through the front doors. The front doors are original to the building, and I understand not wanting heavy or bulky items going through them, but we weren't even allowed to bring delicate floral runners through the front doors because Rachel thought they would mess her doors up (see photos for the florals runners). We were instructed to use the rear doors which was not in our favor having to transport items at a further distance in the sweltering summer heat. Rachel also got onto us a few times for leaving her historic doors "open" while going in and out of them for fear of losing AC (more to come on that) even though we were being adamant about closing them. I inspected the doors and realized they were misaligned at the strike plates and hinges (probably because they're 107 year old doors that weren't properly maintained/sustained by the owner) which was causing the doors to constantly be open unless locked from the inside. The inside of the venue was absolutely gorgeous, but again, the rules were such a dampener for arguably one of the most important days of my best friend's life. Brides & Grooms beware, both dressing rooms are upstairs next to each other without any sort of partition so there's very little privacy if you're worried about seeing each other before the ceremony. The owner also does not allow any alcohol upstairs in the dressing rooms unless specifically bought from her, which I felt was one way to nickel-and-dime her bride and groom on their wedding day. There is antique furniture in one of the bedrooms such as a bed, sofa, and dresser, that the owner will not allow you to touch, look at, or even breathe near unless you want to be fined. The AC, or lack thereof, made it extremely uncomfortable getting ready in the upstairs dressing rooms. Rachel told us numerous times to close the blinds upstairs, which we did, but it still didn't help make the rooms any cooler and made it difficult having photos taken without natural lighting. Rachel's staff (specifically bartenders) were late, underdressed, and didn't provide the services that were agreed upon in the contract. The wedding guests were supposed to be served champagne while they were being seated for the ceremony and then served cocktails immediately after the ceremony for cocktail hour. Neither of these agreements were met. Rachel also requires the customer renting out the venue to clean up all trash prior to exiting the space. You read that right - that means all trash from your guests, restrooms, anywhere on the premise, etc must be thrown out by you. This was not previously communicated so I, along with the other bridesmaids, groomsmen, bride, groom, and even their parents were dragging stinky, leaky, trash bags out to dumpsters that were a block away from the venue in our formal attire. My best friend (the Bride) did all of the coordination with Rachel in booking the venue, and from what I heard and saw, it was extremely difficult working with her. There was lack of communication from the very beginning and there were so many other things that weren't specified and that went wrong that she didn't acknowledge. Would not recommend using this space for events larger than 40 people as the staff and management don't seem to be equipped to handle anything larger.

Festivities is a very unique venue where brides can get a lot for quite the reasonable price. I was…read morein a wedding party that made use of all of the venue's features including the outdoor trellis for the ceremony, the get ready rooms upstairs, and the back kitchen. Festivities has been updated from an old post office and has that vintage vibe currently so popular among brides. While it is located in El Reno, the drive is not that far for brides from the city. We had the venue from 10am to midnight. My only complaint is that the get ready room for the bridal party is not very private. There is no bathroom attached to the bridal suite, so you have to go out into the main area to use the bathroom. The women's bathroom only has one functional stall. The other is a urinal. The venue didn't provide any hand towels or paper towels to dry hands in the bathroom. Only one toilet and sink wasn't a problem for us, but larger bridal parties should be aware. The groom's suite is also upstairs and not partitioned from the bridal area, so brides concerned with being seen before the ceremony may want to find another venue, like a nearby hotel for their grooms to get ready. The staff is very friendly, but they are very strict about their rules. For example, you can't use the antique furniture in the rooms or you risk being charged. They also made the party remove the beads that we had placed on the tables for decoration. They are very strict about their liquor license; you can't bring outside liquor upstairs to the get ready room. Even though there are a lot of rules, the staff is still very kind when they enforce them. Overall, this venue is very cool and has a lot of features all in one place. The reasonable cost compensates for the strict rules and the bathroom issue.

The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, the staff was friendly, and the instructor did a great job making the class easy to follow while still keeping it entertaining. I also loved the option to add candle making to the experience. We got to choose and mix our own scents, and the candle was ready to take home by the time we finished painting. The quality of both experiences was great, and it felt like you really got your money's worth because you leave with something you actually made. The drinks, the painting, the candle making, and the overall atmosphere made for such a fun couple of hours. I would definitely recommend Pino's Palette for a girls' night, date night, birthday, or just a fun night out. I'll definitely be back!

I've called, emailed, left messages, been on hold forever, all for no response. I can't recommend this company. Get your school pictures somewhere else.

The email response sent me a link to the same exact pictures I already have access to. The retakes still aren't there. So I still can't recommend this company even with them only reaching out to me because of this review. Shouldn't have to leave a review to get help. I'd leave zero stars if I could
