We got married at harpors vineyard a little over 3 weeks ago -06-09-23- and all we are still saying is WOW. Lots of family and friends are still talking to us about how much fun they had and how amazing the wedding was! From attention to detail in the early stages of wedding planning down to every last detail/set up on wedding day was perfect! Hope was our day of coordinator and we are so grateful for her putting out any of the pre-wedding fires. (I may have lost the marriage license for a few minutes but Hope found it!) She was also super fun and easy going which made the day so much more relaxing where we could just focus on the fun parts of getting married! I genuinely felt like I didn’t lift a finger! The worst part of the day was when it ended! Brad and I have joked we need to get married there again just because of how much fun we had; plus how amazing and catering the entire staff at harpors was! Highly recommend getting married here if you want a beautiful venue, a fun, hardworking staff, and an easy fun time! Anyone want to invite us to future weddings here so we can keep going back?
Harpor's Vineyard is a truly gorgeous venue. Although it's located about 45 minutes outside of Des Moines, the remote actually made it even more of a destination wedding than either myself or my husband had anticipated. They have (practically) everything you need there! Their Day-Of staff are some of the sweetest people and are absolutely there to handle every issue that arises. Their decor is gorgeous and the bar was amazing.
There are a couple of reasons I can't give this venue 5 stars, however. First, there isn't a full kitchen, which I didn't foresee as being problematic, but ended up being a bit of an issue. Our caterers brought things in hot plates to keep them warm and were able to use their onsite pizza oven and a warmer that they have inside of their prep kitchen, but by the time our dishes were served, they were extremely cold, which some of our guests also confirmed. I think without the full kitchen where things can be cooked onsite, we ran the risk of having our plates be a bit colder. They do have places to keep things warm or heat them up, but there wasn't a way to have any hot meals. I know they are hoping to build this in the future, but just something to keep in mind with whoever you're hiring as your caterer.
The day of coordination team is really fantastic. Megan and Hope were our coordination and when I showed up, they were amazing and really lovely. I do think that more involvement earlier would be better however. I completely ran out of time to get everything done, and certain things were just unable to actually get accomplished. I think if we had had more conversations about set up, decor and everything else prior to the actual wedding day, it would have been an easier job to get done.
Additionally, there is no real place for the men to get ready, unless you rent House Harpors. House Harpors is really love and provides a gorgeous backdrop (our photos show as much!), but they did really push to get the groomsmen in before their normal scheduled check-in time of 3pm (our photos started at 2:30). Megan and the staff definitely got us in there in time, but it was a bit stressful, as there was no way to guarantee it, since there was a wedding party there the night before.
Other than those three reasons, I think Harpors is one of the best locations for a wedding in Iowa. I think that having some sort of kitchen added to the venue would really make it an all-in-one venue; this would be my biggest suggestion. But considering all of these things, I still loved this venue!
Harpors Vineyard is AMAZING. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue is, and how the staff was so extremely polite and helpful. Our wedding coordinator, Megan, went above and beyond our expectations. Megan really made our special day absolutely perfect. I will definitely highly recommend Harpors Vineyard to every bride I know!
I cannot say enough about how much we loved this venue. Having the Harpor House turned my wedding day into a weekend and it was so much fun. Especially since so many of my bridal party traveled. Hope (our coordinator) was AMAZING! She is meant for her job and I felt so taken care of. Every time I needed something, she was there. She made sure everything was a dream.
Amazing venue. The staff was attentive and helpful with everything. I didn't have any worries as a bride on my wedding day.
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.
Absolutely beautiful venue. It made our wedding day that much more special! The venue is incredible and so is the staff. They care about your wedding details just as much as you do, and they help ensure everything goes as planned! Harpor’s never stops improving their venue!!!
Beautiful venue! They are so friendly and made me feel so calm on my wedding day- they took care of everything! They even put my favorite snack in the bridal suite while we got ready!
I loved having my wedding there!
Beautiful venue! Our guest absolutely loved it. Made for a fairytale wedding.
If I could get married here every weekend, I would.
Harpor’s Vineyard is the most beautiful venue with the most amazing owners and staff. Everyone there stops at nothing to make sure your day is everything you could ever dream of. The amount of work and design they’ve put into the Vineyard is astounding. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants an incredible outdoor wedding experience.
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. 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!!!
This venue is exceptional and the owners are incredible. The reason we chose this venue over another because of the closeness of the ceremony area to the reception area and the flexibility and passion that the owners have for us. They continue to add amazing amenities and I don't think I'd be wrong in saying that they add something new at least once a month.
