Texas Wedding Guide: The Source for interior design products, services and fine home furnishings.

They say life is a gamble... but love doesn't have to be... Especially here: After pumping a cool $300 million into the sparkling new Choctaw Resort & Casino in Durant, OK - a bevy of local celebs, gamers and curious tourists filled the new facility for a 4-day-long grand opening extravaganza to see just what all the buzz was about. So, why head north for a destination wedding celebration? Because Choctaw is packing major new amenities, including fabulous rehearsal dinner and reception venues for the adventuresome bride & groom.... and not to mention the stylish suites, the Oasis Pool, Oka Spa and amped-up, endless entertainment. Located an hour north of Dallas on Highway 75, Choctaw Casino Resort offers ample space for large groups in the 6,750 square-foot conference center. Smaller groups will enjoy the 175-seat amphitheater complete with a stage, elevated seating, and intimate lighting through out the lush landscaping. Overnight guests will find comfort at the new 204,000 square-foot hotel with 330 rooms ranging from double queens to executive suites.
