Located just outside of Chenoa, Illinois, Harms Country Farms is an ideal venue for couples looking for a rustic yet elegant setting for their wedding or special event. This countryside gem offers a quiet, intimate atmosphere surrounded by rolling farmland — the perfect backdrop for a celebration that feels personal and relaxed.
Inside the main event barn, guests are greeted by beautiful chandeliers that hang from the exposed beams, adding a touch of sophistication to the rustic wood interior. The lighting creates a warm, inviting glow that photographs beautifully both day and night. The barn itself is spacious enough for receptions while still maintaining a cozy, intimate vibe that makes guests feel right at home.
Guests will love that Harms Country Farms also features a spacious concrete patio just off the back of the Quonset building, perfect for extending the celebration outdoors. This versatile area can serve as a dance floor under the stars, a cocktail patio, or a relaxed lounge space for guests to mingle between events. Its smooth, finished surface provides the ideal foundation for dancing, high-top tables, or outdoor seating — all while allowing couples to enjoy the open-air charm of the countryside without worrying about uneven ground or muddy conditions.
One of the standout features of Harms Country Farms is its outdoor ceremony locations that take full advantage of the surrounding landscape. Couples can exchange vows beneath the open sky, framed by the natural beauty of the countryside. Whether you envision a ceremony under a large shade tree, near the fields, or in front of the barn doors, the outdoor spaces at Harms offer a serene, picture-perfect backdrop for “I do.”
The property offers various backdrops for your outdoor wedding including the wooded area, open orchard, red barn, corn crib and fields.
Another major perk of this venue is its attention to comfort and convenience. Their bridal suite provides a comfortable, private area for the wedding party to prepare and relax before the ceremony, while the new bathrooms offer convenience for guests throughout the event. The bathrooms are ADA compliant. The bridal suite is a heated/air-conditioned location complete with a private restroom, kitchenette with full refrigerator and a styling bar. It is available for the entirety of your rental time at an additional charge.
Because Harms Country Farms focuses on providing the venue and grounds, couples should note that tables, chairs, and linens are not included with the rental. They do offer some décor options for your use, but that’s where Burlap and Lace Event Rentals comes in!
