There’s something magical about a wedding weekend in northern Minnesota. Maybe it’s the

scent of pine in the air, or the way the stars seem to shine brighter over the lakes. For couples

dreaming of a celebration that’s more than just a day on the calendar, FireFly Event Barn offers

the perfect place to bring people together—and create a weekend everyone will remember.

Just outside Park Rapids, nestled in the charming town of Nevis, FireFly gives couples the best

of both worlds: a rustic-chic venue with wide open space and modern comforts, and a

community full of welcoming places to explore, eat, and stay.

So, what does a perfect wedding weekend look like here? Let’s paint the picture.


Friday: Welcome to Lakes Country

The weekend begins as friends and family roll into town. Some check into cabins or lakeside

resorts, others settle into charming Airbnbs around Nevis or Park Rapids. Maybe there’s a

casual dinner at a local favorite like the Good Life Café, or drinks around a bonfire to catch up

with out-of-town guests.

At FireFly, we often host rehearsal dinners or welcome nights right onsite, giving everyone a

relaxed space to reconnect before the big day.


Saturday: The Big Day at FireFly

The morning sun rises over the fields. In our getting-ready spaces, the bridal party laughs, sips

coffee, and gets dressed while the final touches are added to the ceremony setup. Out on the

lawn, rows of chairs face a scenic backdrop of trees and sky. Inside, the barn glows with string

lights and anticipation.

Ceremonies at FireFly can be indoor or outdoor, elegant or laid-back—each one unique to the

couple. After vows are exchanged and photos are snapped, guests transition seamlessly into

cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing.

From the first look to the final song, we’re with you every step of the way—helping everything

run smoothly so you can focus on soaking in the joy.


Sunday: One Last Hug

The weekend doesn’t end with the bouquet toss. Sunday is for brunches, coffee meet-ups, and

final hugs before guests head home. Many couples recommend a stop at Itasca State Park or a

family-style breakfast at a local diner before hitting the road.

It’s this kind of thoughtful, three-day rhythm that turns a wedding into a true experience—and

FireFly is proud to be the heart of it.
