We are The Rogers Family. We have been operating The Railhouse Event Center since August of 2023. While we are new to the venue ownership world, both Josh and I have been heavily involved in events our entire adult life, from me being a DJ in college (yes, I know all the lyrics to all the songs), to each of us running statewide youth retreats. We’ve even had some photography and music performance experience sprinkled in there. 

​

Josh and I met when we were teenagers working at summer camp, attended OU together, then eventually dated. Since our relationship started out as co-workers, we always knew we wanted to work together someday. So, when this venue became an option, we jumped all over it! 

​

One of the best parts is that our two kids are old enough, willing, and even excited to be a part of this journey. Carson and Lyla have been involved in every step of this process, from figuring out the initial financial investments to scrubbing dirty sinks. We hope this opportunity is a learning experience for them that they can take and apply in their adult lives, which are sneaking up on us WAY too quickly. 

​

Our family has truly fallen in love with The Railhouse and its charm. But, what we LOVE even more is helping our clients celebrate all the different milestones in life. We can’t wait to show you around!

​

Party On!

Kendall, Josh, Carson & Lyla Rogers
