Lockheart Wedding Chapel - Choctaw, Oklahoma
Nestled amidst the tall trees of Choctaw, Oklahoma, Lockheart Wedding Chapel & Event Center invites couples and guests into a serene, enchanting retreat just outside Oklahoma City. Here’s a closer look at what makes this venue a memorable destination for weddings, gatherings, and celebrations…
A Storied Transformation
Once known as “I Cross My Heart Wedding Chapel,” this gem had fallen into ruin—abandoned for years and even vandalized.

Now fully restored, the venue exudes elegance and charm, combining rustic allure with modern amenities.
