Last Wild River Lodge & Venue

The Blake & Taylor (Williams) Barnes wedding at Last Wild River was a stunning celebration of love set against the breathtaking backdrop in Oklahoma. With a Rustic Chic theme, every detail was thoughtfully curated to blend natural beauty with elegant charm.

The ceremony took place at the scenic Enchanted Ridge at Last Wild River, followed by a lively reception at the Wild River Venue & Saloon, where guests enjoyed a warm and festive atmosphere. Friends and family stayed nearby at the cozy On River Time Lodge, creating a full weekend retreat of love, laughter, and connection.

Under the expert coordination of Donna Haynes, with support from assistant Krystle Countz, the day unfolded seamlessly. The couple’s vision came to life with stunning décor, a custom-built arch by Cowboy Sawmill & Jerry Ogden, and lighted marquee letters by ETX Marquee that added a romantic glow to the evening.

Memories were beautifully captured by Reverie Film Co and Mackenzie Rae Brown, while a photo booth from Photo Booth Rentals and Brenda Aguilar provided fun keepsakes for guests.

A delicious spread by Side Hustle Catering and a sweet finish by baker Michelle Little Green made the reception truly unforgettable. Makensie Morgan and Lexie Beam ensured the bride and bridal party looked flawless with expert hair and makeup. DJ Daniel Bacorn kept the dance floor alive, and Officiant Jeff Williams delivered a heartfelt ceremony that reflected the couple’s unique bond.

The Barnes wedding was more than just a celebration — it was a beautiful, joy-filled weekend surrounded by love, family, and the natural beauty of Oklahoma’s Last Wild River.
