He allowed me a tour of the venue so I could see how much space I was working with. On the night of the event, he made sure I had plenty of space for all my gear, he had a stage for me, and he even had room for me to store all of my extra gear. In my 20 year DJ career, I've performed at hundreds of venues. But with Rashad? He definitely takes care of you and made me feel right at home. He's got a really fun venue for those midsize parties! Definitely check it out if you're in the Norman area and consider supporting this local business owner!

The venue was a perfect setting for our mothers final farwell. Rashad set up the tables, stage and sound equipment even putting the clothes we purchased (she loved purple) on for us before hand. The access was easy with using the lockbox and parking was adequate for our guests and the space, was neat, clean, and fresh. Rashad was very professional and understanding. Thank you Rashad for allowing us to celebrate our mother at Up Together Venue!

I was a groomsman in a wedding at Enchanted Gardens in SE OKC, and I've honestly never seen a venue…read morecreate so much unnecessary stress and conflict during what should've been one of the happiest nights of a couple's life. The problems started literally seconds before the bride walked down the aisle when the venue manager stopped her to warn that the wedding would be shut down if any more alcohol was found. The alcohol in question was a sealed bottle discovered inside a backpack after venue staff/security conducted what many guests felt was an unnecessary and inappropriate search. Regardless of venue rules, confronting an emotional bride at that exact moment was unbelievably unprofessional and immediately created tension. After the ceremony, everyone complied with instructions and removed anything questionable. Despite that, venue staff and security continued searching vehicles and going through personal belongings in both suites without guests' knowledge or consent. The bride and groom were later pulled away from their reception because security claimed they overheard guests talking about alcohol in a trunk. The entire situation ultimately turned out to be about guests grabbing Black Cherry High Noons for the bar while someone changed shoes in their car. Guests were repeatedly harassed throughout the evening. One grandmother was followed to her car by security while buckling in her grandkids. Another guest was stopped from re-entering unless his vehicle was searched because of an energy drink. To make matters worse, staff began pushing cleanup over an hour before the contracted end time despite a cleaning fee already being paid, leaving family and guests cleaning tables and trash themselves. The entire night the venue staff felt hostile, discomforting, and wildly unprofessional. Rules are one thing, but repeatedly disrupting the reception, searching personal belongings, harassing guests, and creating this level of tension was completely unacceptable. I would never recommend this venue after what I witnessed.

Every time I've been to The Depot it's been a good experience. It's nice and warm inside, they…read moreoffer coffee/tea/snacks, and the people who manage it are always friendly. There are plenty of chairs and tables inside to sit in, but The Depot fills up fast - especially with tourists. If you want to relax before your train ride to Fort Worth or OKC, get there early. HOWEVER. This is an Amtrak station. And Amtrak is notorious (I mean *notorious,* people) for their trains being late. When I dropped my boyfriend off at the train station last time, they were 40 minutes late. Not cool. Especially when their site still said the original arrival time and hadn't been updated. This isn't The Depot's fault, but The Depot and Amtrak are linked, so that's why I'm docking a star. Amtrak is late because they have to share the railways with Santa Fe, but SURELY there's a way to know when (at least within 10 minutes) the train will be there, and surely there's a way to let your passengers know. As a customer, there's not much to be done, as it's not like you have a choice as to where to pick up a train to Fort Worth that will ever be on time.
