FireFly Event Barn 

5.0

Nevis, MN
  • Up to 299 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Our vision for FireFly began 13 years ago and we searched all around our hometown area for a barn to fit our vision. This turned out to be IT: a beautiful dairy barn built in the 1940's! We've kept its rustic and authentic vibe alive and added a lot of flair. It's a happy place to be!

“We were married at the FireFly Event Barn October 2022. When we were looking at our options and visited the barn, I was absolutely blown away! Not only by the beauty of the barn but how we felt like we had known Lindsey forever. She made us feel like we were family and we knew this was the place! Leading up to the event she was so easy to work with, always responding right away, letting vendors come and see the venue and ask questions before our big day, always so positive and uplifting making us so much more excited for our day to come. During set up she took the time to get to know who was who and helped us any way we needed! On the day she helped us make sure everything went smoothly and flawless! We still get compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how Lindsey and her staff made everyone feel so welcome!”

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.

“Adler Ranch is a gorgeous place! Kurt and Marlys are extremely helpful and put a lot of CARE in keeping their venue beautiful. As a wedding planner they were great to work with- on top of keeping space clean, having tools available, and helping make sure the day run smoothly. They also were both on site during the wedding day for problem solving and helping tear down. As the venue, the suites are fun and roomy. There are a lot of cute places for gorgeous nature photos. I also love their set up for s’mores and other snacks. I learned a tip from them for the chocolate!”
