A touch of Europe in the heart of Texas


Nestled on 13 acres in Lone Oak, Texas, The 1916 is a place where time slows down and beauty unfolds in the details. Built over a century ago, the historic 1916 house still stands as the soul of the property — thoughtfully reimagined with European-inspired design and timeless charm.
What was once a weathered farmhouse has been lovingly restored by hand, honoring its original character while transforming it into a serene bridal suite and gathering space. Every board and surface reflects intention — blending history with elegance and embracing the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds perfection in imperfection.


Just an hour east of Dallas, The 1916 is a countryside retreat where time slows down and celebrations unfold in harmony with nature. Beneath towering trees and open skies, weddings here feel unhurried and deeply personal — a place to breathe, gather, and create memories that linger.
We believe every couple deserves creative freedom. The 1916 was designed as a canvas — a space where your ideas can take shape. From custom backdrops to one-of-a-kind details, we love collaborating on unique touches and helping bring your vision to life.


Welcome to The 1916 — where European charm meets the Texas countryside, and every celebration becomes part of the story this land has been telling for more than a century.
