Harpor's Vineyard

07/16/2024

When we founded Harpors, we emphasized the importance of the outdoor experience. Our venue, which embraces the natural beauty of the outdoors, offers a versatile backdrop for various wedding styles. Over the years, our couples have collaborated with top-notch vendors to create enchanting spaces. It’s truly a delight to witness how our venue adapts to fulfill our clients' visions. We feel fortunate to have chosen a path that leads to "Outdoor Wonderful."

There is tremendous work that goes into maintaining an outdoor venue. You have all of the normal cleaning of an indoor space, but to claim to be an outdoor venue takes immense dedication and a great team.

Seeing this photo, you see the transition from the indoor lounge to our courtyard and how it creates this type of unique experience. This is all intentional and carefully planned.

This has been one amazing year and we have loved sharing it with you all.

This was not only one of our first weddings, but one of the best ever. Everything from the couple, to the vendors, and the family were just spectacular! We really love our clients.

Our pavilion has had so many updates since this photo but we had to post this photo. One thing never changes about our venue, and it’s far better than pretty updates- it’s the experience. We have the best clients, the greatest vendors, and the best atmosphere for their guests.

We look at this photo once a year. It captures magical energy you have to experience yourself. The music on the pavilion with the guest dancing with open air is just incredible. Owning Harpors for 10 years now, walking onto the pavilion and seeing this still gives us goosebumps.

Thanks for making Harpors magical. ❤️

Most do not know that our pavilion was not always covered, heated, and with side panels.

Our second season we decided to cover the space with the blessing of our couples. The first time we revealed the new space to a bride, she instantly started to cry with excitement. It was a moment we would never forget.

We are always looking for these unique and special ways to make our venue standout for our couples. To be the dream venue they deserve.

Just like that, our 2023 season is complete.

We had some of the most incredible weddings this year and we couldn’t be more blessed for the couples and their special guests and family members who attended an event at Harpors.

Our 2024 season appears to quickly becoming our busiest year ever (by far) and it’s all thanks to the many who have supported and helped us throughout the years.

It’s the time of the year where we would double down on our learnings, improve from any feedback, and start adding even more value to Harpors.

Over the last few weeks we have been hard at work planting over 39 additional trees at Harpors!! We’re just getting started. This space is only going to improve every single year.

“Greatness started with a dream and humble beginnings.”

Sanorma Hall- 2016.

Every inch of Harpors was personally designed and built/remodeled one year at a time. We always say: “if we built a new venue with a huge loan, we would’ve never learned the importance of exceptional service.”

We are always on a journey of learning and growing through the support, feedback and belief from the greatest clients imaginable.

As engagement season approaches, we would love to earn the right to tell our story to new couples. If you’ve been a part of our journey throughout the years, consider sharing with engaged couples who might benefit from our passion to serve.

Who remembers our early days? ❤️
