The Best Places to Stay, Dine, and Celebrate Near Adler Ranch Wedding Venue

When people think about a wedding venue, they usually picture the ceremony and reception. But let’s be real: most weddings aren’t one-day events anymore—they’re weekend-long vibes. If you’re planning a wedding near Alexandria, MN, your guests aren’t just coming for the vows. They’re rolling in for Friday night drinks, Saturday celebrations, and a solid brunch before heading home. This blog—Alexandria MN Wedding Weekend Guide: Where to Stay, Eat, and Celebrate—is your guide to pulling off a full weekend that’s as fun for your guests as it is for you.

Let’s be honest—Adler Ranch is the reason they’re coming, but Alexandria makes them want to stay. Five miles from town means your guests are close to hotels, restaurants, shops, and lakes—but far enough from the noise that your wedding still feels like a private party in the middle of nowhere (in the best way). Ready to plan a wedding weekend that people will actually remember? Let’s dive in. And if you want to book a tour? We’re ready when you are.

Adding interactive elements to your wedding is a great way to keep guests engaged and create memorable experiences. Check out our wedding guest entertainment guide and consider these options for your Alexandria MN Wedding at Adler Ranch.
