I highly recommend having your event at the Firefly Event Barn, especially your wedding. Lindsey was EXTREMELY helpful and answered me in seconds. She also is very personable. I got migraines from over stressing and she gave me an oil to help. And honestly there was nothing to stress about because everything went so smoothly. It snowed on our wedding day and they still made it happen and it was a fairytale. I highly recommend having your event here!

Run, don’t walk! Working with the Bluebelle team made the wedding planning process seamless. We had our ceremony and reception at the Bluebelle and it was everything we ever dreamed of. Our guests also appreciated having everything be at one venue. We had a fall wedding and the ceremony site was breathtaking. Plenty of space for the bridal crew and great acoustics for the pastor and singers. The outdoor patio space is covered with an outdoor bar and we had a social hour snacks available for guests. They aways have yard games available to keep guests entertained. The reception area is so grand and plenty of space for dinner and dancing. Jaimee and Tracy made sure everything was decorated the way we wanted and it felt truly magical in the reception area. The entire staff made our whole wedding party and guest list feel right at home. They also have a bus to rent out to get guests back to the local hotels safe and sound. Our wedding experience was so seamless, I highly recommend the Bluebelle for all your event planning needs. You will be treated like family. And the venue itself is stunning. All of our pictures turned out so good because we used one of the Bluebelle’s recommended photographers and because the venue and grounds make for a beautiful canvas for photos! I mean they even have a secret swing for couples!! Everything about the Bluebelle is wonderful, so just book now!

Their dedication and passion for what they do shone through, and it truly felt like they were as invested in our special day as we were. The food was amazing! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. The steak, in particular, was grilled to perfection, and we received numerous compliments on its tenderness and flavor. The au gratin potatoes were a total hit, pleasing everyone, and the desserts from the in-house bakery were both mouth watering and stunning. The entire dining experience was top-notch, and it's safe to say that Madden's culinary team surpassed all expectations. Beyond the wedding day itself, our entire wedding weekend at Madden's on Gull Lake was a seamless and delightful affair. Our guests loved staying on the property and enjoyed the various amenities and activities available.

The pavilion at Madden's took our breath away - it was simply stunning and needed minimal decor to shine. Our guests were wowed by its beauty! Having Gull Lake as the backdrop for our ceremony was a dream come true, and the cherry on top was the pontoon cruise we enjoyed with our wedding party during cocktail hour. It was an unforgettable experience! We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at Madden's on Gull Lake for making our wedding weekend the most memorable and magical experience of our lives. Their attention to detail, culinary expertise, and dedication to ensuring our happiness were second to none.
