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!

The Firefly is such a quaint, clean, beautiful wedding venue! The bright white walls and windows inside the venue photograph so well. The venue sits on an amazing piece of land with rolling hills and wildflower fields - a photographer’s dream!! Not only is the venue stunning, but the owners are so kind, helpful, and welcoming! I would highly recommend this venue to any of my wedding couples.

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.

It was an unforgettable experience!

Their attention to detail, culinary expertise, and dedication to ensuring our happiness were second to none.
