History
Rockin H Ranch has been the passion project of owner Marcia Coker since childhood after she received a horse for Christmas in the 80s. Her parents purchased farmland to provide a home for the horse, and what started out as a country getaway soon became the family's oasis. Over the years, they learned about farming from the Grier family, who were caretakers of the land. Marcia's parents eventually purchased the iconic blue barn, and they began planting gorgeous trees throughout the farm. In the 90s, Marcia built a home on the land and it soon became a haven for family events. Since 2019, this beloved ranch welcomes couples far and wide to begin planning their elegant country weddings.

What a great venue! Gorgeous ambiance, lots of parking! Acoustics were great as well! We will be back guaranteed
I had just gotten married here and the venue itself is breathtaking! One of the many reasons we chose this place. There were definitely some things that have made me think differently. For one, make sure EVERYTHING is in writing. When we first booked we were told everything was included, when we went back a few months later to pick decor and table settings they told me I would have to pay for everything. It was in my contract that I didn’t have to but they insisted that we did and after looking over everything we signed they gave us a break but we still paid for a few things. Being the bride I thought that I would have been in contact with the venue more but everything was sent to my now husband (he doesn’t check his email very often). When ever I would reach out they never responded but the minute he would reach out they responded right away. I’m not sure what the issue was there but that was another thing that I had a hard time with was getting answers to questions.
Fast forward to the month of the wedding and it was problem after problem. I had to get insurance for the wedding because my sister did my makeup and wasn’t told I needed it until the day before the wedding. Was told that we didn’t know what we were talking about and we should have been better prepared for other things. Thank goodness my wedding planner took care of everything and made sure everything was ready for the big day.
Overall the wedding went off and there were no problems! The staff that we dealt with on the actual wedding day WERE AMAZING! Everyone had so much fun and it was the best day ever.
My sister and her husband chose this venue for their June 2022 wedding. The venue itself is beautiful, and fits the country feel they wanted for their day. However, the staff came close to ruining the entire day.
As background information: I have three years of full time wedding planning/coordinating experience, my younger sister has close to two years of day-of staff experience, and our friend that we brought in to coordinate has worked weddings for ten years. My older sister confidently placed her wedding day into our hands. On wedding day, we had a plan for everything and had plenty of hands and expertise to adjust as needed.
On the wedding day, we arrived to find different decor pieces than my sister picked out. Apparently the coordinator that she had worked with no longer worked there, and she had taken a lot of decor items with her. We weren't aware of any staff changes, so we had to adapt and use decor items that didn't fully fit into my sister's vision. Then, one of the staff decided she didn't like our table runners, so she began to fold them under the place settings so they wouldn't hang off the table as they're intended to do. (This same person made fun of me for saying "y'all").
It started raining in the early afternoon, but I was told that the venue staff would take care of moving the ceremony location inside. But, I was told multiple times that it would take two hours to set the room, and two hours to reset for the reception. The staff to do that would arrive at 4. Our ceremony started at 5, and I had plenty of people to help, so we went ahead and moved chairs from the dinner tables to create ceremony seating. It took 10 minutes and was perfectly centered and even. The venue owner came in and started yelling at us about having staff to do it and saying we shouldn't have to do anything in our "pretty dresses". When we told him that we had done the same thing he would've done (he showed us pictures of how they set it up), he continued to be upset. He literally stomped his feet. I would understand if we had put ourselves, someone else, or even any of his property in danger, but we just moved chairs. No one that witnessed his behavior is on his side. He was rude and condescending, without an ounce of kindness or respect for the biggest day in someone's life. When his staff did arrive at 4 o'clock, I watched one of them confidently move the back three rows of chairs into the middle of the aisle and then walk away.
What my sister was most upset about was that the groomsmen didn't have access to a bathroom in their getting-ready area. They were in the "grooms suite" for several hours and when they came over for the ceremony, they immediately ran to use the restroom.
After the ceremony, I only ever saw one staff member present, and he was dressed unprofessionally in a t-shirt and shorts.
After the reception, we had to get all of our decor, etc. out of the building. Though a few of us had been clearing trash throughout the night, there were still cups and napkins on the tables. My aunt went and asked the staff member for a trash bag so that we could clear the garbage, and he would not give her one. Surely there had to be extra bags somewhere, it made no sense.
All in all, the wedding was fantastic. The guests loved the venue. But, I would avoid booking your wedding here just to stay away from the rude staff. You shouldn't have to be yelled at for no reason on your wedding day.
The venue itself is gorgeous and everything went very smoothly the day of my wedding. That being said, there were some challenges during the planning process that were aggravating. First, get EVERYTHING in writing: I was told a couple of things verbally that were not true which caused a lot of last minute logistic modifications. Second, if you are booking at Pinterest Palace, be aware there is not a place to get ready when you are there. They will offer you the "bridal boutique" which is code for "the place where all the decorations are stored." I would not recommend doing your makeup there or having a wedding party try to get changed there. Also, note that at Pinterest, they will provide picnic tables which are pretty old. So make sure you rent tables if you want your guests to have chairs. Thirdly, this venue does not carry any insurance. They will have your vendors modify their policies to add them as an insured party. Your vendors will charge you for this which was about $100 per vendor for me. So take those items into account when you are determining if this venue fits your budget as compared to the cost of other venues.
My husband and I got married here right before the world shut down for COVID-19 on March 14, 2020! I have to say that this venue was AMAZING from the start. Our day couldn’t have been any more perfect! From our beautiful outdoor ceremony space to the party inside the barn, it was phenomenal and we loved every minute of it! People still tell us how much they enjoyed their time at our wedding and our pictures on the property are gorgeous! If you are thinking about getting married at a barn venue anywhere near Palm City, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BOOK!
This Venue is amazing. Not only beautiful but the entire staff is fantastic. We just got married there 2/29/20. Highly recommended. Thank you Marsha David and Jeanne
