Long and quick story short, Pastor Steve led us through the process and our son and new daughter in law had a glorious day! The property is rustic and gorgeous. There are plenty of places for amazing photo shoots. And, it's quaint and perfect. The presence of God is all over this property. When you're there... it's like escaping to another world. Quiet, calm, and open air. Trust me when I say, at the very least check it out and visit the Silo, you won't regret it.

Tricia and Stephen with Silo and Oak are like a dream come true! We booked this venue when they…read morewere still in the mist of renovating the property and we were completely blow away with the transformation. Not only did they keep to their word about what would be completed by our wedding date but went well beyond that! Tricia was very detailed with planning and even though she wasn't my day of coordinator, acted like one anyway. Which was so helpful! She helped with of vendors, accommodations, decor, anything I needed she was right there. They let us come out there as many times as we wanted and were always so kind. For the price and all that comes in your package, you can not beat this venue! It's unique, inviting, and down right gorgeous! Pro tip- go see the venue at sunset so you can see all the twinkle lights.. you're welcome! Thank you so much to The Simmons family!

One bad point, it was a little difficult to figure out which door to go in, but it was the unlocked one out of 3, fancy that! The floors are a blond hardwood and the woodwork is basic white. The restrooms are convenient, modern and clean. The main room is good for a banquet, dinner, dance, reception, wedding, any kind of meeting. The windows look out over Stillhouse lake and it is very quiet and pleasant. You need to bring your own caterer, band, etc, but the facility is perfect.

I loved going dancing here! I think it can feel a little clique-y at first, but really everyone is…read morevery friendly. I went every other Friday to the Ballroom Dance Nights (BYOB). The other Fridays they had Country/Western dances. These are open dance nights, sometimes 12 people show up, sometimes 70-100 people. Only $5 per person to get in, something like 7PM-11PM. Sometimes they have special parties, which are a lot of fun, like on holidays. The Halloween party is just great, and you can win free lessons. And occasionally the place is rented out for private parties. You just have to check their calendar. It is available for weddings and I think it would be great for a wedding reception, particularly if you could get the staff to stay and liven up the dancing. The people who go here really vary- some people were high school age, especially home school students, soldiers from Ft Hood came sometimes, older people also. One person I met was 90 years old, and a very good dancer. Really anyone who appreciates ballroom dance. You don't have to be very good either (and they offer private lessons) because people are very patient and will usually help you learn at least the basic steps. The music is good too, some old stuff some new. Cumbia, line dances, tango, swing, foxtrot, Lady Gaga, MJ, Nat King Cole, if you can dance to it they play it. Also they take requests sometimes through the email list. The place is in OLD downtown Temple, on Main Street. When I went there alone the management would walk me out to my car in the evening sometimes, as it is dark and deserted there at night. The building they are in is really old, with a dance floor, stage, wooden floor, tables, bar (no alcohol, they sell snacks and soda, etc, it is BYOB), it used to be some kind of department store. The owners restored it, it has a great deal of charm. It has a second story window that a person sits at and DJs all the music. It is painted like an aquarium, which is funny. Anyway, if you want to hang out in a mature but fun place and meet lots of nice people, I highly recommend you check it out.

OK, here's everything that I know that you need to know about barrows. Barrows is a building right…read morein the central part of Solido. The inside of the brewing company has tables and often does live music or you can hang out at the bar in the air-conditioning but the majority of people at barrows are outside because Burrows also has a phenomenal massive concrete pad that has covered picnic tables and this is where the food trucks park. This is also where they do their live music on the weekends. From behind barrows, you can walk down to the creek, and this is where they have the ice cold natural spring that comes out of the ground. You are welcome to bring their beers down here and sit in the water or sit by the water and hang out and enjoy the creek. Depending on the day, there can be anything happening here from a farmers market to vendors to food trucks to music to dancing anything you can think of so definitely check out their Facebook page for the activities. Absolutely family friendly and there's usually tons of kids having a blast down here with their parents. We like the beer a lot and the staff is friendly and we end up here more than once every single time that we're in Salado, so don't skip it!

The place is a nice size and has lots of areas for different kid ages and different activities. they have a cool little zip line above for the kiddos. There is a weight limit for that one. For food we had wings and pizza. It was surprisingly good! lol I liked the wings. There is a little food counter you can order food from and puck it up. There are seats and tables all around. Overall, they seem to cover everything for a gathering/party/big groups. My only issue is the people that are to greet you in front when you walk in. If it's your first time, you should be provided with all the info and be directed, but they were too quiet and didn't provide any info. We almost bought an unneeded wristband because we weren't provided with the basic information needed. ask those that come in if it's their first time and then guide them.
