Michael Adler is a Minnesota native who loves the outdoors, big family gatherings and wakes up each day thinking of what he could create. Linda grew up in Phoenix in a home where her dad was a coach and spent much of her early years as a competitive swimmer. Both of them professional musicians, Michael gladly bears the title of “Worship Arts Pastor” at his church where he leads a large team of creatives. Linda teaches voice, loves her four sons, loves doing girl things with her daughters in law and is the amazing design eye behind all things Shady Lane. Always on a quest to create more enchanting spaces, they share their home with two chihuahuas and a rag doll cat named Mr Bingley.
The Barn at Shady Lane is the fulfillment of the dreams and passions of owners Michael and Linda Adler, who have together helped propel Shady Lane’s elegant wedding and event venue to repeated “Best Of” status. They have a blast doing life together and work hard to make every event at Shady Lane everything you dreamed it could be.
