CTA is a beautiful venue nestled away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet easily accessible. The owners and staff were amazing to work with and their preferred vendor list made planning our wedding a breeze! If you want a quaint, lakeside wedding on a private lake, this is the place for you. The bridal suite was large and functional. The guys also had their own getting-ready area on the second level of the grain bin, which was such a cool feature. 10/10!

When looking at venues online I stumbled across Adler Ranch. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted our wedding reception to be there. I made an appointment to view it with my family and fiancé. It was the only venue we viewed and we signed the contract immediately after the tour. There is no other venue quite like Adler ranch. While wedding planning I was extremely stressed out. As a Type A bride I wanted everything to be perfect. Marlys was there for me every step of the way with anything I needed. On the wedding day Marlys was so helpful and was there for all the behind the scenes. She made sure everything ran smoothly. My day wouldn’t have been as perfect if it wasn’t for her. She truly cares and wants your day to be absolutely wonderful. Guests at our reception were in awe of the beauty of it and I even got asked how I found it. There’s so much for adults and kids to explore. I am beyond grateful to have found Adler Ranch. Thank you!
