Welcome to Adler Ranch, a hidden gem nestled near the heart of the Alexandria lakes area in Minnesota. If you're looking for a unique and enchanting venue for your wedding or special event, look no further. This family-owned ranch offers a nontraditional setting like no other, captivating the hearts of all who visit, even those who may not consider themselves aficionados of signage and antiques. Step into a mesmerizing wonderland where vintage and neon signs create a magical ambiance that transcends expectations. With each corner thoughtfully curated by the owners Kurt and Marlys, Adler Ranch invites you to immerse yourself in an enchanting experience that will leave you in awe!

As you step onto the grounds of Adler Ranch, you'll be transported back in time. The ranch boasts a remarkable collection of vintage and neon signs dating back to the 1930s all the way through the 1970s. Kurt and Marlys have dedicated years to curating this awe-inspiring display, particularly favoring tall gas station signs that come to life with vibrant lights after dusk.

One of the highlights for wedding guests is the opportunity to explore the ranch and discover fascinating treasures around every corner. From antique pieces to nostalgic memorabilia, the eclectic collections are scattered throughout the property, leaving visitors delighted at every turn. Two buildings, in particular, captivate the attention of guests - the Cabin and Kurt's Gas Station, which have been transformed into charming getting ready suites for the wedding party.

Inside these remarkable buildings, you'll find yourself surrounded by a treasure trove of signs, collections, and intriguing items. The Cabin boasts a vintage kitchen, transporting you to a bygone era. Both buildings are thoughtfully climate controlled, ensuring comfort for the wedding party as they prepare for the big day.

But that's not all! The Conoco Bar is another crowd favorite at Adler Ranch. This unique addition came about by accident when Kurt and Marlys stumbled upon a Conoco sign during a motorcycle ride. With their creativity in full swing, they transformed it into a turning bar with inviting bar seating, now affectionately known as the Conoco Bar. It's a delightful spot to unwind and enjoy a refreshing drink.

Finally, we come to the Banquet Barn. This charming space accommodates your guests with comfortable seating and is home to a magnificent 32-foot long feasting table. This remarkable table holds a special story as it was lovingly handcrafted by the family from an oak tree that fell in their pasture. It's a testament to the personal touch and dedication that goes into making your wedding day truly memorable.
