A wedding ceremony can feel spacious, organized, and connected from the moment guests arrive at Old Bethany in Lorena. Our venue sits on a peaceful 100-acre property with a clean white exterior, natural beauty, and indoor and outdoor spaces that let your day stay in one place.
Old Bethany offers a Lorena wedding ceremony on a 100-acre property with multiple ceremony options, including The Turf Lawn, The Oak Tree, and a chapel coming fall 2026, plus the Grand Hall in the Barn for receptions. Everything stays in one place, with included tables, chairs, dedicated suites, and a prep kitchen keeping the entire day organized.
Couples often come here because they want a Central Texas setting that feels elevated without feeling overly formal. The all-white barn, large wall of windows, covered patio, Turf Lawn, and oak tree ceremony site give you multiple locations to use without asking guests or vendors to travel between locations. And with The Chapel coming soon, there will be even more flexibility for couples who want a simple and elegant indoor ceremony option.
Ceremony spaces that fit your wedding style
Old Bethany gives couples several ceremony spaces to consider. The Turf Lawn offers an outdoor setting with string lights overhead. The Oak Tree gives couples another outdoor ceremony option on the property. The Chapel, coming fall 2026, will add a 2,400 square foot indoor ceremony space with an organic, simple, and elegant feel. That variety matters when you’re planning the flow of the day. Guests can arrive, gather, move into the ceremony, and stay here for the duration. Everything is in one place, which helps the day feel natural and organic from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
The Chapel will also sit about 50 feet from the Turf Lawn, so couples will have ceremony spaces close together without making the property feel crowded. For a Lorena wedding ceremony, that kind of layout keeps movement simple for guests, vendors, and the wedding party.
A white barn that works beautifully after the ceremony
After the ceremony, the Grand Hall in the Barn gives you a bright and spacious reception setting. The barn includes 6,500 square feet of air-conditioned indoor space, with a 3,600 square foot Grand Room, 35-foot ceilings, an all-white interior, five sets of French doors, and a large wall of windows. Those details do more than look visually stunning. They help the space feel open, clean, and easy to design around. The all-white interior gives couples a blank canvas, while the large windows bring in natural light that photographers love working with.
The Grand Room also connects well with the covered patio and lawn. Two sets of French doors open toward those outdoor areas, which helps guests move between indoor and outdoor spaces without the day feeling broken up.
Practical spaces for guests, vendors, and the wedding party
A wedding ceremony is only one part of the day. You also need places for people to get ready, gather, serve food, take photographs, and move comfortably. Old Bethany includes a Bridal Suite with a full-length mirror, seating, a hair and makeup bar, a private toilet room, and a connection to the spacious women’s restroom. That gives the bridal party room to spread out before the ceremony.
The Groom’s Suite includes an elevated rustic design, deer mounts, a smart TV, and a shower. It gives the other side of the wedding party a separate place to get ready before guests arrive. For catering teams, our spacious prep kitchen includes a commercial refrigerator, stand-up warmer, triple sink, ice maker, and stainless steel prep tables. We also have great relationships with excellent caterers, so food service can stay organized behind the scenes while your guests enjoy the celebration.
Tables, chairs, and setup details that help the day feel organized
Planning a ceremony and reception is easier when the main setup pieces are clear. Old Bethany provides 350 indoor cross-back chairs, 350 outdoor white garden chairs, 20 round 60-inch tables, and 20 rectangle 8-foot tables. That matters because your ceremony space, cocktail area, reception layout, and vendor setup all need room to work together. The 100-acre property gives guests more space, while the barn, covered patio, Turf Lawn, and oak tree ceremony site help keep the event easy to navigate.
Event coordinators can also be hired to help your day run even smoother. That option is helpful for couples who want more support with timing, movement, and the details that connect the ceremony to the rest of the celebration.
