Centrally located in Arlington, Texas, Howell Farms at Waples-Platter is one the more historically significant properties in the DFW Metroplex. Established in 1912 by Col. Paul Waples, the property was long shrouded in mystery. Tales of extravagant parties, attended by fabulous company, and a network of underground tunnels turned it into a fixture of local lore. Now, though the rumors have all been put to rest, interest in the nearly century year old farm continues to grow. Idyllic and romantic details will surely make your wedding an event to remember. Marry amidst lighted trees set against the farm’s treasured centerpiece, an elegantly rustic barn complete with hay-filled stables and well-worn saddles. After “I do,” retreat upstairs to celebrate under magnificent chandeliers that compete only with the star-filled sky above your countryside ceremony. Events held at Howell Family Farm are nothing short of spectacular. From intimate gatherings to elegant soirees, the farm’s facilities provide space for even your most unique entertaining wishes. The rustic backdrop offered by the porch-wrapped cottage and the refurbished old barn is the perfect setting for any celebration. MEMO: The best way to reflect with coworkers on business is not in a stuffy old conference room. The farm’s buildings offer an easy-going, but technologically equipped, setting for getting the job done—working won’t feel like work while you’re here.
