Available Wedding Dates for 2026 in Minnesota – Saturdays Are Going Fast

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.
