“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!”

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. Whether it was relaxing by the lake or exploring the beautiful surroundings, or heading to the pub for live music, Madden's offered a picturesque backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. 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. If you're looking for a dream wedding destination with exceptional staff, mouthwatering food, and breathtaking surroundings, Madden's on Gull Lake is the perfect choice. Thank you, Madden's, for making our dream wedding a reality. We will cherish the memories forever.”

“I am a videographer and did a wedding shoot at Adler Ranch. What a beautiful property! It is stocked with amazing vintage Americana antique pieces that really set the tone and gave a great vibe to the event. It was throwback and classic. Perfect for a wedding. The owners, Marlys and Kurt, were amazing to work with. You can tell that they take pride in their work, as they should! Their property was amazing! What a great experience!
