Stop looking!

This is by far the most amazing venue I could ever imagine. Not only is the scenery absolutely GORGEOUS, the buildings/landscaping and staff are above and beyond expectations. The bridal lounge is perfect and makes for fantastic "getting ready" pictures. The grooms den (Yes--they have a specified place for the men!!!) is so rustic and charming. Lastly, the staff (and Casey in particular -- literally your own hype man) is incredible! They pay attention to every little detail and make sure that YOU are having fun. Loved this venue and LOVED getting married here!! BOOK IT.

The best ever!

I don’t even know where to begin with Harpor’s Vineyard! I want to go back there every day if I could!!! The whole venue is GORGEOUS! The Groom’s lounge is sexy, earthy, and masculine. The Bride’s luxury lounge is beautiful and perfect for getting ready! & the rest of the place was just exactly what I dreamed of for my wedding. All of the staff at Harpor’s are SO helpful, kind, fun, and professional! If you’re looking for a kind of rustic- farmhouse- vineyard vibe- this is it!!

A Dream Come True

This venue is breathtaking! The service made us feel like we were the only wedding of the summer. Megan, Hope, Paige, Madi, Chelsie and Amanda were incredible. We had nothing to worry about. The Harpor's Team made everything went smoothly. By far the BEST venue in Iowa!

Dream venue for my dream wedding

The venue was absolutely amazing, and the owners and staff were top notch. Many guests commented on how beautiful the place was and how fun the staff were. Chelsie, Alissa and Casey were so great that I didn't have a thing to worry about that day. I loved it! I highly recommend this place.

Harpor's went above and beyond for us from the very first encounter with them. Chelsie, Shay, and Casey are seriously a wedding dream team. Every time you talk to any of them, they are professional and make you feel like you are heard and cared for. They all made our wedding day so very special, and we will be forever grateful to them. Not only were they outstanding for us, but our families and friends raved about them as well! Not only do you get the best wedding team around, but the venue is breathtakingly gorgeous and well cared for. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Iowa, look no further. We didn't, and will never regret it. Our wedding day was perfect. Thank you guys!!!

The whole experience was one I will never forget. I was so pleased every step of the way and never had to worry about anything. Especially on the wedding day. I could not have pictured a more perfect place to have a wedding. The venue is beautiful, very easy to get around, and the staff is willing to do whatever!

Shay, Chelsie, and Casey are the perfect trifecta for venue coordinators at Harpor's Vineyard. We met with Shay last summer when we had a few barn venues in the running. He absolutely sold the place. Every concern or question I had, his answer exceeded everything I was hoping him to say.
"You think you're going to be cold? We will buy heaters for the barn."
"You want to use compostable cups? We will have them at the bar for you."
"You want to change the location of your ceremony the day before the wedding? You got it."
Chelsie did our rehearsal dinner run through and she is so kind and fun.
These three will bend over backwards for you from the day you meet them all the way up to your wedding day. Every time I started to freak out or become stressed about wedding planning or some detail that I wasn't sure about, my husband would be like, just text Casey! So I would, and Casey would answer any question I had as soon as he could and would make sure that I was happy with every thing.

Come wedding day, right before I walked down the aisle, Casey told me "okay, from here on out, you don't have to think about anything. I will handle everything from here on out." This was such a relief because he made sure everything went smoothly. He ensured we were in the right place at the right time. He updated me on what was going to happen next and kept our timeline running as smoothly as possible.

As I think back about our choice to have our wedding at Harpor's, we could have done our wedding for much cheaper in some city hall building, but our wedding would have been a disaster. We wouldn't have had Harpor's team to ensure that everything went perfectly. They are a little pricey, but if you want to get married in a barn venue in Iowa, you're going to pay up. Honestly, Harpor's team earned every penny we gave them. Even in 45 degree weather with an outdoor ceremony, they ensured our wedding day was perfect and for that, I am forever grateful for them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
