Affordable Wedding Venues in Minnesota: How Adler Ranch Saves You Money
The Real Value of Booking Your Wedding at Adler Ranch
Planning a wedding in 2025 or 2026 means navigating one big question: how do you make it magical without draining your savings or asking your dad to remortgage the cabin? If you’ve searched "affordable wedding venues in Minnesota,” or '“Wedding places in Minnesota” you're not alone—and you’ve probably seen a lot of vague pricing pages and “custom packages” that feel more like mystery games than actual budgeting help.
This blog—Affordable Wedding Venues in Minnesota: How Adler Ranch Saves You Money—isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about cutting nonsense. Let’s walk through what’s included, what you won’t have to rent, and how we help you keep the focus where it belongs: on having the best day of your life, not the most expensive.
Include:
Items from our Something Borrowed Collection
Tables and Chairs
32 foot long handcrafted head table
Vintage neon signs and lighting
Set Up of your event AND clean up of your event
Let’s start with the big lie: that “DIY saves money.” It can, sure. But it also means you’re renting tables, chairs, lights, linens, setting them all up, tearing them down, and possibly paying someone to mop a barn floor at midnight. Adler Ranch flips that script. We include:
White ceremony chairs (we set up, we tear down)
Round reception tables + chairs, (we set up, we tear down)
Ceiling drape and installed string lighting, (always included in your rental)
Fully functional Grain Bin Bar with working vintage coolers, (always included in your rental)
Decor from our Something Borrowed collection (centerpieces, whiskey barrels, galvanized extras, German beer tables... the list goes on)
A 32-foot handcrafted oak edge table, (always included in your rental)
Clean bathrooms, real trash removal, and full clean-up service (yes, we mop the floor), (always included in your rental)
TWO Wedding Party Getting Ready Spaces, The Cabin and The Gas Station

A lot of affordable wedding venues in Minnesota will rent you a space, then hit you with a list of “not included” that starts to feel like a joke. Don’t even get us started on corkage fees, cleanup fees, or “chair upgrade” charges. Adler Ranch is designed to be what you actually need, all in one place.
We’ve also intentionally built our space to minimize the need for extras. You don’t need to hire a lighting company—we’ve got built-in ambiance with vintage neon and overhead glow. You don’t need a whole decor team—we’ve got unique pieces ready for you to borrow. You don’t even need to haul in your own bar setup—ours is already built, stocked, and chilling your drinks like it should.

Wedding Venue, Affordable Wedding Venues in Minnesota: How Adler Ranch Saves You Money
Saving money doesn’t mean skimping on experience. In fact, it usually means you get to spend that money where it matters: food your guests will remember, photos you’ll actually print, or that live band you secretly really want. With Adler Ranch, you’re starting with a solid, beautiful foundation that already comes with personality and polish—no expensive add-ons required.
Couples tell us all the time: “We couldn’t believe how much was included.” That’s not an accident. It’s how we built it. Because we want your wedding to be remembered for its magic—not its budget spreadsheet.
