Where to Host Unforgettable Events and Corporate Gatherings in Alexandria, MN
Hosting Events Beyond Weddings at Adler Ranch
When people think of Adler Ranch, they often picture wedding vows under the open sky, the glow of vintage neon signs, and the legendary Grain Bin Bar. But here’s the thing — we’re so much more than a wedding venue. Our Alexandria, MN event venue has become the go-to spot for company picnics, nonprofit fundraisers, celebrations of life, and our annual Adler Ranch Retro Market — a two-day antique and vintage event that draws collectors, families, and friends from all over the Midwest.
We’ve built Adler Ranch to handle celebrations of all kinds — from heartfelt to high-energy — and we do it with the same attention to detail, hospitality, and vintage soul that couples have come to love.
