Just imagine with me for a second, the excitement of your guests as they gather around a vintage Studebaker gas truck, transformed into a S'more Bar by the hard work of Marlys at Kurt at Adler Ranch.

Take in the aroma of toasting marshmallows.
Listen to the crackling of the fire.
And feel the anticipation of creating the perfect S'more at your wedding or event.

Who wouldn’t love that?! It's an interactive culinary adventure that adds a touch of nostalgia and charm to your wedding or event in Minnesota.

The 1954 studebaker gas truck is not just a vehicle; it's a piece of history. The Adler Ranch S'more Bar stands out as a truly unique experience for all those involved - creating lasting memories.

The S’more Bar adds an element of surprise and delight to your celebration, ensuring that your wedding is not just an event but an unforgettable multi-generational experience.

Who knew an evening motorcycle ride would lead to one of Adler Ranch’s coolest creations? While cruising the open roads, Marlys and Kurt stumbled upon an auction and fell in love with this vintage Conoco sign. With no idea yet in mind, they just couldn’t resist taking it home.

Marlys recalls:

“A quick trip back with a truck and trailer - I might be making this sound more fun than it really was - with a few weekends of brainstorming later, two years!, and our Conoco Bar was born!

Tucked between the cabin and the gas station, this hidden bar table features vintage seating for the wedding party and guests, all with a sweeping view of the Adler Ranch Wedding Venue and its lighted sign collection.

Complete with vintage stools from the 1960s, the Conoco Bar is a one-of-a-kind spot that is typically never empty. Covered with a sun sail for comfort on sunny days , it's the perfect spot for a wedding party lunch on the day of your wedding or event. Guests also enjoy this unique and interesting setting throughout the wedding day, especially after dark when the lights are on.
