Elevate Your Event

Celebrate in Style at Our Beautiful Venue in Bartlesville

Welcome to The Refinery at the Johnstone-Sare Building, one of Oklahoma’s premier wedding and event venues.

The Refinery combines timeless charm with modern amenities, creating the perfect setting for your special occasion.

And The Refinery is truly historic – Oklahoma’s oil boom started in this very building! Wildcatters, land owners and boomtown speculators came together to strike deals and negotiate oil leases. Vast fortunes were created here.

And since 2013, couples and event hosts choose this unique, utterly stylish historic site as their venue for unforgettable weddings, receptions, gatherings and celebrations.
