About

Howell Family Farms is a barn and farm wedding venue located in Arlington, Texas. Truly, this venue can fulfill your fantasy wedding as it has so much space, countryside charm, and beauty to offer. Whether you want to host your ceremony, reception, or both, this setting has somewhere to allow your wildest dreams come true.

Facilities and Capacity

When the weather is kind and the sun is shining across the grounds, Howell Family Farms is a wonderful place that would be great for outdoor celebrations. Day or night, you can enjoy a veritably magical experience here as you settle in to mark the moment when you and your significant other became one unit as newlyweds.

Outside during the day, with the main house as your backdrop, the entire wedding party can come together to celebrate your marriage bond. Afterward, enjoy a leisurely stroll around the grounds as you allow the magnitude of the moment to sink in.

For the reception, make your way to the main house where you can move upstairs to the loft-style area to dine at round and long tables as you are seated on white folding chairs. A cozy space, the chandeliers mix with the natural light to create an amber hue that complements the timber decor. Here, dozens of guests can dine in comfort.

Elsewhere, space can be set up in tents on the lawn so that even more wedding party members can be accommodated. Lit up with light fixtures, the white walls are embellished with a silvery twinkle as everyone settles in for an evening of revelry, toasts, and speeches.

For a reception to match the outdoor ceremony, banquet tables can be arranged underneath the shade of the leafy-green trees. Here, string bulb lighting can be hung up to cast a magically romantic glow around the area as everyone enjoys the cuisine and soaks up the atmosphere.

Services Offered

Conveniently, Howell Family Farms are able to provide in-house catering through their culinary staff. Offering food and drink, you and your guests can savor meals cooked on site, meaning there is no need to contact any outside caterers. Champagne toast, beer, wine, and premium liquor are all available to enjoy. An event planner, event rentals, cleanup, and setup services are all available to reduce much of the stress in choreographing your big day. What’s more, outside vendors are welcome so that the couple of honor can truly personalize the venue.

Other Services

Get-ready rooms are also available, while Howell Family Farms is willing to welcome pets so that your guests’ pawed companions can join the festivities. WiFi and valet parking are two more convenient features that add to the venue’s appeal.

Such a great place for a wedding or any event! Kathryn is fantastic to work with and is super flexible and really strives to help you accomplish your vision. There is a new caterer and the food was FANTASTIC! Working with this 'one-stop-shop' venue was superb! My guests LOVED it! I would highly recommend this location.

I still cannot get over how perfect this venue was. It was beautiful and even though we were married in the middle of July, it was breezy and shady and not too too miserably hot! The staff was wonderful and everything was set up beautifully. THey were really helpful in picking floor plans and seating arrangements. There were some amazing photos that came out of this venue too, the landscaping and ground are so green and pretty. It felt like a fairy tale!

Kathryn has been so great with responding back to us with our many questions. She has offered great suggestions for vendors that have worked at the venue and answered every random( I thought random) question we needed answered for vendors or decoration purposes. They get back to you very quick if not that same day. They have made planning our wedding and any event I'm sure a breeze and exciting. I absolutely recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Really can't say enough amazing things about the people, venue and service.

Actually we did not have a wedding at the venue, but we did have a fabulous 50th anniversary party for my business. Kathryn is a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive and was a fabulous resource for caterer, rentals, decorations and other necessary partners.

Howell Family Farms is the PERFECT location for any event. The charm and beauty of the entire property from the renovated farm house to the breath-taking barn is perfection! The entire venue makes you feel like you are stepping into a magazine cover shoot or a scene from a movie. The grounds are kept in meticulous condition and the gorgeous, mature trees add such character. The Howell's and Kathryn make the entire process easy and seamless. Their quick responsiveness to questions, whether via text, call or email are very appreciated and enable event planners such as myself to work quicker and more efficiently. Their flexibility and professionalism is second to none. The night of the event was literally picture perfect. Our guests were wowed and felt special to be a part of such a beautiful night. From the trees were wrapped in sweet white lights, to the glowing glamorous chandeliers in the second story of the barn, the event oozed in character, charm and class. Thank you, Kathryn and Mr. Howell for helping us put on such a wonderful and unforgettable night. Weathered Perfections/Talia Maddock

We selected Howell Family Farm for our son's rehearsal dinner and were completely thrilled with the experience. We searched several venues in the DFW area. The venues all had the typical arrangements. But Howell Family Farm had something special and magical. The staff was personally interested in making our event amazing. The farm is unique and secluded. Once you arrive on the property you feel as if you have been transported to a beautiful private resort. The original Cottage is cozy and elegant. The landscaping is gorgeous. Its veranda is perfect to sit and relax. We used the main floor of the Horse stable. This stable must be seen to be appreciated. It is magical. We opted to setup one long table for all 48 guests. It had a fabulous classic elegance with the strings of lights in the rafters and the well varnished wooden beams. I would encourage you to use this venue for your personal event. The Howell Family Farm staff, property and location are all superb.

Howell Farms is a great wedding venue! Had an outdoor service for 200+ people and indoor reception. The grounds are well maintained and "the barn" for the reception was immaculate. Plenty of room for a wedding of 200 or more. Staff on site handled any issues to our great satisfaction. Definitely would recommend this venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
