Our Story

Tom Carlson and his wife Melanie, along with their three children, have lived and grown up in the Wabasso area. As part of a large family, they frequently attend weddings, some of which have taken place in stunning event venues similar to 5 Family Ranch. These experiences left a lasting impression on them and ignited a desire to create a similar haven close to home, founded on family-centric values.

Tom shared his vision with their family, who were all enthusiastic and supportive of the idea. In a matter of a few short months, with the help of four of Melanie's siblings, 5 Family Ranch, LLC came to fruition. Our goal is to offer a distinctive and unforgettable experience to the Southwest Minnesota region, as we believe in sharing the same values with our clients as we do with our own family.

As a family-owned and locally-owned business, we take immense pride in our roots and community. Our commitment is to provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every event feels like a family gathering. We understand the importance of personal touches and strive to make each occasion at 5 Family Ranch truly special.

Thank you for considering 5 Family Ranch for your next event. We look forward to making your experience as memorable and cherished as those we create for our own family.

Mel and Tom Carlson, primary owners of 5 Family Ranch, happy to share 5 Family Ranch with others.
