Safety Concerns at Willow Creek Mansion in Broken Arrow, OKMy wife and I recently attended a wedding at the Willow Creek Mansion in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, on 10/26/23. While the celebration itself was a success for the bride and groom, we feel it's important to share our experience, especially the concerning safety issues we encountered during our time at the venue.Accessibility Issues:Our first negative experience at Willow Creek Mansion was trying to get my wife, who requires an upwalker and a cane for mobility, into the building. Unfortunately, the venue lacks a handicap ramp or railings, making it extremely challenging for individuals with mobility issues to access the premises. We faced much consternation and frustration while navigating this obstacle, only to discover that the front door could only be opened from the inside. Our attempts to seek assistance using the video doorbell were met with no response.There was a cobbled path that connected to the front porch, but this proved to be an adventure for not only my wife but also for other guests who got their shoeware stuck between the cobbles. This lack of accessibility was a significant drawback for our overall experience.Safety Hazards:In the back yard on the south side of the mansion, there was a charming vintage wood-covered patio. Unfortunately, while my son was out taking a phone call, he stepped onto a rotting floorboard that came loose, exposing nails. This caused him to lose his balance and nearly resulted in an injury. Luckily, he managed to avoid the nails, but it served as a warning sign for us to not bring my wife outside due to the safety risks.The back patio deck, which was the only access point for my wife, also had no ramp or railings. We had no choice but to lift her into the back glassed-in room, which was an embarrassing situation for her. These safety issues were concerning and not at all conducive to a celebratory atmosphere.Maintenance and Overall Condition:Additionally, we observed that the grounds surrounding the old mansion were not well maintained. The surrounding picket fence was dilapidated and in spots, ready to fall over. The vintage charm of the location is appealing, but it's overshadowed by the severe disrepair and safety concerns.In summary, we would not recommend Willow Creek Mansion as a venue until significant improvements are made to address accessibility and safety concerns. It is crucial that the venue management takes immediate action to bring the property up to code levels to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. We hope that by sharing our experience, others can make informed decisions about their event venues.
