About this venue
The HarMac Event Space resides in the historic Harper & McIntire building in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Completed in 1922, the building was originally a warehouse and shipping facility for Harper & McIntire's industrial hardware. The company also procured their own line of hand-crafted tools, coined "HarMac" - thus, our shared name. In 2015, the property was purchased and restored to reflect its original industrial character and charm. The HarMac has been meticulously designed to showcase it's industrial roots and stunning proportions. The flexibility of this distinctive venue allows guests to enjoy it year-round, for many different uses, including weddings, private events, corporate functions, and more.

Stunning Industrial Modern Wedding Venue!
From our first conversation with The HarMac, we knew we had found our venue. The team was responsive and easy to work with every step of the way, making the planning process feel smooth and stress-free. As our wedding day got closer, their communication ramped up in the best way possible—they kept us informed and excited about what was coming. The staff showed up on the day with genuine warmth and made us feel like we were their only priority. The space itself is stunning with its clean, industrial aesthetic that photographs beautifully. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better team to bring our vision to life.

Perfect Day, Perfect Venue
The Harmac was the perfect venue for our February wedding. We planned our wedding from out of state and knew we couldn't count on Iowa weather to cooperate in winter. We searched for a venue that had lots natural daylight and would serve as a neutral backdrop for our ceremony and reception. When we found The Harmac we knew it was a perfect fit. From the tour to wedding day the staff was very helpful, responsive, and accommodating and made planning from a distance a breeze. We got many complements on the venue and can't have asked for a better day.

Our experience with The HarMac was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Travis, Lia, and Lauren were all so wonderful to work with and truly went above and beyond to make me feel seen, heard, and supported as a bride. They were always so quick to respond to any questions I had, and knowing I could reach out and get an answer made the entire wedding planning process feel so much less stressful. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The rooftop for our cocktail hour was nothing short of AMAZING and was such a special part of our wedding day. The HarMac has such a beautiful space, and it truly felt like they had thought of everything a bride could possibly want in a wedding venue. What stood out to me most was how much the team genuinely cared. I never felt like just another couple booking a venue — they made me feel important and made sure our day felt personal to us. Travis, Lia, and Lauren were such a pleasure to work with, and I am so grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding day so special. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an incredible team that will make you feel completely taken care of, I cannot recommend The HarMac enough! They truly offer everything a bride could want, and we are so thankful we chose them for our wedding day. ❤️

We had our wedding at the HarMac, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The venue is absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere is incredible, and the staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect. A huge thank you to Lauren, our wedding coordinator. To say we were a little disorganized would be an understatement, but she handled everything with such kindness, patience (lots of it😂), and professionalism. She made our day run so smoothly, and we are beyond grateful. If you’re considering the HarMac for your wedding, do it! We couldn’t recommend this venue more. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams! 🤍
