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.

We are a happy and loving family who have always wanted to live in the country and have always wanted to create a beautiful wedding venue. We finally made it to “the country” in August of 2016 after two years of looking and praying for the ideal property for our family. We enjoy having enough of space to move about and are constantly grateful for the gifts we see all around us. Stephen and I (Tricia) have been married for 30 years and still enjoy each other's company. We are a team who enjoys collaborating and supporting one another as we go through life. We want to serve God, and we hope that this opportunity will allow us to shine His love on what is naturally a happy occasion. We named our home Agape Farm on the gate to our private entry because we have learned that Agape love is unselfish love that makes a difference. What distinguishes this property from others? When we first saw the property, we couldn't help but admire its features and imagine how they could be shared with others. The beautiful clay block silo that presides over our land and will now serve as a unique feature of Silo and Oak was said to be the first dairy farm in Bell County, which explains the beautiful clay block silo that presides over our land and will now function as a distinctive element of Silo and Oak. We have so many magnificent oak trees here! I can't wait to see weddings held under their boughs, which form a beautiful canopy of beauty that doesn't require any more decorations.
