A 6500-square-foot white barn located in the center of a grove of gorgeous Texas oak trees serves as our venue. The barn is situated on a 100-acre plot of land with open fields and scattered trees. We can fulfill your wishes whether you want to say "I do" in the fields or the forests, or indoors with air conditioning. A big covered porch adjoins a 30'x80' turf area with string lights hanging overhead in our 35-foot barn. The 3600-square-foot grand room, entryway, big prep kitchen, and lovely bridal suite are all located on the lower level. The groom's suite and office, as well as a balcony overlooking the great chamber, are located upstairs. At Old Bethany, every detail is carefully considered. Shiplap was used on the walls and the ceiling was painted white. The grassy space is great for ceremonies, parties, dances, and whatever else you can think of. The main chamber, which is unadorned because it does not require anything, has large windows that let in plenty of natural light, making it ideal for photographs — the chandeliers dangle overhead for a final touch, like a lovely necklace on a bride. The wood flooring are ideal for dancing or simply looking. The pure-white stairwell with black iron railing encourages you to ascend. I'm sure many brides fluffed their gowns for wedding photos here at Old Bethany. You have access to the premises from 9:00 a.m. to midnight, 350 chairs and 35 tables, a venue organizer on site, a security guard, and various possibilities for your event, both inside and out.
