After seeing how quickly 2026 Saturdays filled, couples are already turning their attention to 2027 — and for good reason. This is the season where planning early pays off. Our 2027 calendar is now open for bookings, with a limited number of Saturday dates available from May through October.

At Adler Ranch, we host just one wedding per weekend, giving each couple the entire property and our full focus. That level of attention means our calendar fills faster than larger “wedding factory” venues, even when inquiries begin years in advance. Below you’ll find our 2027 availability, organized by month, along with some of the memorable weekends and symmetry dates that tend to book first. Contact us for current availability information.

2026 is already shaping up to be one of the busiest wedding years we’ve seen. Between once-in-a-decade number-pattern dates, long weekends, and Minnesota’s short but beautiful outdoor season, Saturday availability is already getting tight. Here at Adler Ranch, we host weddings from May through mid-October, focusing on just one wedding per weekend. That’s intentional. This isn’t a “wedding factory” that cycles through events back-to-back — it’s our home. We live here, and each celebration takes days of setup, care, and cleanup to do it right. Limiting ourselves to one wedding per weekend means couples get our full attention, but it also means our calendar fills faster than most venues.

If your plans include a 2026 wedding, now’s the time to reach out. Some symmetry dates like 08/08 have already been booked, but 06/06/26 — one of the most sought-after number dates of the decade — is still available as of today. Below you’ll find our current 2026 availability, month by month, along with the most popular weekends and the open Saturdays still waiting for a great match.

Wedding Venue Costs Explained: What’s Included, and Why It Matters

What You Get with a Wedding at Adler Ranch in Minnesota

When couples—or their parents—first start planning a wedding, one of the biggest and most common questions is: Why do wedding venues cost so much? It's a fair and honest question, especially for anyone who hasn’t planned a wedding in decades. If you’re comparing today’s pricing to the cost of a community center rental in the '90s, it’s easy to feel surprised. And for newly engaged couples, this might be the first time they’re seeing just how many decisions and moving parts go into a modern wedding day.

But here’s the truth: wedding venues today are expected to do a lot more than simply provide a space. Couples are looking for a seamless experience, not just a place to gather. They want a beautiful, functional location with a team behind the scenes who can help bring the day to life. And that’s exactly what your venue cost helps support.

Adler Ranch, near Alexandria, MN, is located two hours from both Minneapolis and Fargo—and we are miles away from basic. Alexandria itself is a hidden gem for couples looking for a memorable wedding setting.
