Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • It’s the ultimate DIY wedding venue! You can bring in all your own vendors for catering, music, entertainment, florals, and decorations, or choose from their list of recommended event professionals.
  • Say “I do” beneath a wooden pavilion against a backdrop of trees, while your guests enjoy the ceremony and view from their seats on the expansive lawn. Afterwards, celebrate in the 9,000-square-foot Reception Hall, a rustic yet elegant space with stone and wood walls, wooden ceiling trusses, and multi-paned windows that let in natural light.
  • A long list of amenities are included in the rental fee: all-day use of the venue (15 hours); dressing suites for the couple; outdoor ceremony site and climate-controlled Reception Hall; tables and chairs; setup and cleanup; a large parking lot; and more!

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Aurora Grove, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Aurora Grove at The Springs in Norman includes a 15-hour full-day rental (9am to midnight), a white wooden chapel and an outdoor ceremony option, for up to 320 guests. Tables and chairs, furniture setup and takedown, a large indoor bar and buffet table, two wedding suites with private restrooms, an event-day venue attendant, two 2-hour photo appointments and unlimited planning visits are built in. What you'll add: your caterer and other vendors, plus bartending and security from the venue's list. Vendor and catering packages are available, too, priced separately.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Aurora Grove, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. At Aurora Grove, you can say your vows in the white wooden chapel or outside among the landscaped grounds, then celebrate in the reception hall, with bright limestone walls, for up to 320 guests. A wood-covered portico and a romantic stone bridge give you photo spots on the same property, less than 30 minutes from Norman.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Aurora Grove or do we have to use yours?

Yes. Aurora Grove has an open vendor policy with no additional charges, so you can bring the caterer, photographer, DJ and other vendors you love. The only services that must come from the venue's list are bartending and security, and you can bring your own alcohol. Prefer to bundle? A vendor package (coordination, DJ, photo booth, photography and an officiant) and a catering package (chef-prepared dinner, beverage station, disposable dinnerware and servers) are available.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Aurora Grove, and is there a minimum?

At Aurora Grove near Norman, Oklahoma, venue rental runs $4,000 to $8,000, depending on the day of the week. Because the open vendor policy has no added fees, the rest of your budget comes down to the caterer, alcohol and vendors you choose, plus bartending and security from the venue's list. Vendor and catering packages are available if you'd rather bundle, priced separately from the rental. Flexible on your date? Weekday dates come with built-in savings.

If it rains on our wedding day at Aurora Grove, what would the backup ceremony actually look like?

If it rains, your ceremony can move into the white wooden chapel at Aurora Grove, which is part of the venue, not a separate booking. That gives you a true ceremony space as your backup, with the reception hall on the same property, so you can plan for the outdoor setting without worrying about the forecast.

What makes Aurora Grove different from the other venues near it?

Aurora Grove pairs bright limestone walls, a wood-covered portico and a stone bridge with a white wooden chapel, less than 30 minutes from Norman. Its open vendor policy lets you bring your own caterer and vendors at no extra charge, with only bartending and security from the venue's list. You get a 15-hour full-day rental, room for up to 320 guests and rental that varies only by day of the week, so you can plan your budget without guessing at seasonal rates.

Where would our wedding party get ready at Aurora Grove, and how early can we get in?

Your wedding party gets two wedding suites with private restrooms at Aurora Grove, and you can walk in at 9am, when your 15-hour rental begins. That leaves plenty of time for hair, makeup and photos on the stone bridge before the ceremony.
