Rockin’ S Ranch was the perfect place. Working with the owner and coordinator. The expertise and listening to what we wanted. How they worked with our venders. The different areas to get beautiful pictures. All the guest said it was one of the most beautiful weddings.

My husband and I got married at Rockin S Ranch in September and it was an absolute dream. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and perfect the venue was. Chris was incredible to work with, she is so kind and genuine and you can tell she truly cared about our wedding. She even got out her University of Wyoming cornhole boards for our wedding because she knew my husband went there, it was such a sweet touch. Whenever we had an issue, Chris was on it and told me not to worry. Kelsie was great to work with as well and helped to keep the day running smoothly and made sure we always had whatever we needed. We can't recommend this venue enough!

Nestled just outside Johnstown, CO, Rockin' S Ranch offers an idyllic setting for weddings and special events. What was once a fully functional dairy farm has been given new life as a stunning wedding venue. Situated in a rural setting, The Rockin' S Ranch is surrounded by views of the Rocky Mountains and an adjoining lake. The original 1950s dairy barn, with a beautifully landscaped courtyard, makes for the perfect setting for couples searching for a venue that combines the rusticity of the past with modern elegance. Spanning 35 expansive acres, Rockin' S Ranch provides ample space for celebrations of all sizes. The venue features multiple options for both indoor and outdoor events, ensuring a customizable experience tailored to each couple's preferences. Guests arriving at the ranch are greeted by a picturesque pond reflecting the majestic Rockies alongside the inviting courtyard and the iconic 1950s dairy barn. For ceremonies, couples can choose from a scenic courtyard accommodating up to 200 guests or a charming field overlooking the lakeside, also suitable for 200 guests. Two barns are available for receptions, comfortably hosting parties ranging from 100 to 150 guests each, while the courtyard can accommodate larger gatherings of up to 200 guests. The Rockin S' Ranch is conveniently located only 3 miles from I-25, with easy access to Northern Colorado locations, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Johnstown, Berthoud, and Estes Park. Rockin' S Ranch prides itself on providing a comprehensive wedding package to simplify planning and ensure a memorable event.

My husband and I got married at Rockin' S Ranch this October and it was an absolute DREAM! We looked around at several wedding venues before finding this gem. The minute I saw pi...

ctures online, I knew I needed to visit this adorable ranch venue and the minute I walked in and met Chris, the owner, it was no question that is where I wanted us to get married! The adorable charm it has and the ranch vibe and setting was perfect. I love all the little details that added to the vibe like the chandeliers, old truck, rustic building, and all the amazing photoopp spots! I also absolutely loved that we and the guest got to experience the mountain views, the reservoir, and the farm/prairie all in one place! We did have our own decorations, but there was already SO much we loved with everything it already offered, we didn't need to have too much of our own decor! I could go on and on about the venue itself, but another amazing thing about this venue is the people we got to work with! Chris, the owner, is an absolute gem of a person! The minute I met her, I knew this would be a different experience than just getting married at her venue--there was a much more personal feel to it! I loved the idea of getting married at a family owned venue! When my now husband and I met with her about all the details, we felt so at ease and knew this would be such a fun and seamless process! She was so attentive with any and all questions we had and just made the whole experience so personal, intimate, fun, and stress free! We also had an amazing experience with out wedding planner, McKenna. She helped to make our day soooo wonderful! Everything was so well taken care and of we just had the time of our lives and our guests did as well! We truly couldn't have asked for better and more caring people to work with! They truly wanted to make this day so special for us and our people!!!!!! We will be smiling from ear to ear and cherish all our memories from this whole process and our special day for forever and truly are so grateful to have found Chris and the Rockin' S Ranch!!!! <3 Love, Kylie and Zach Looney :)

stic feel. The bridal suit was perfect for us girls getting ready and has a gorgeous view/balcony. The ranch is so well taken care of and flowers were blooming everywhere!! It truly needs little to no decoration to be wedding-ready. We’ve received countless compliments that it was the best wedding our guests have ever attended, and I truly give all the credit to this venue and the owner/coordinator. Chris, the owner, is one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met. She went above and beyond for us, even allowing me to come out to the ranch multiple times to trial different decoration ideas, which meant the world to me and made the planning process feel so supported and personal. McKenna, our day of coordinator was an absolute angel!! She made our entire wedding day run seamlessly, our day would not have been the same without her! Every detail was handled with such care, and I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. She even showed up early the morning of our wedding to make sure everything was properly set up and checked before the day began. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that truly cares about their couples and the experience they provide, I cannot recommend Rockin S Ranch enough. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. 🤍

ding. McKenna was so helpful on the wedding day. She worked her butt off to make sure everything went smoothly and according to plan. There were so many things I forgot about prior to the wedding that both Chris and McKenna mentioned and helped me to get figured out quickly. It truly felt like Chris and McKenna were just close friends invited to our wedding. Their kindness and thoughtfulness were so apparent throughout the night. The venue was absolutely beautiful. The first step you take on the venue you can feel how much love and effort was put into making the most perfect venue. To put things simply, this place felt like family. What more could you want on your wedding day?

Thank you Rockin’ S, and everyone there for the best day of my life. If you are looking for a venue, look no more!!!

We were able to eve use the new bar trailer that they had just added to the venue! What really sold the venue for us was Chris! She made everything so easy and fun, her excitement for our big day was contagious and she was so willing to work with us on any and everything we wanted! Our day of coordinator McKenna was absolutely amazing as well! Our type A personality clicked instantly and she made the day run perfect! We cannot recommend this venue, Chris, and McKenna more! You will not regret booking Rockin S Ranch for your wedding!

If you’re looking for a venue with a gorgeous setting and a team that genuinely cares, this is the place.

e when the wind came and blew off all our napkins on the tables we had just set and instead of getting overwhelmed, Chris guided me back to the bridal suite and told me to relax while her and everyone else made sure everything was fixed. I came out and everything was set just as it was prior to getting blown off! It was so amazing knowing I didn't have to stress about the little things because Rockin S Ranch made sure it was handled. My dress buttons snapped and thankfully Chris had a sewing kit that she allowed us to use to fix my dress right before going out! I loved feeling cared about and like Rockin S Ranch was just as invested in my wedding as I was.. it didn't feel transactional at all which is something that attracted me to the venue from the very beginning. Chris allowing us to use something as simple as a sewing kit shows how good her heart is and how she truly wants every bride to enjoy their day at her beautiful venue. Overall, it was an amazing experience and planning a wedding is so difficult and stressful but it was so easy to get information from the Rockin S Ranch that it made it just that much better and enjoyable! Communication was the best part of the planning experience. My husband and I truly felt cared about by Rockin S Ranch staff. Everyone on our wedding day complimented how beautiful, homey, and wonderful the wedding and atmosphere was of the venue. It was a beautiful day and I am so thankful we were able to celebrate at Rockin S Ranch!

The venue itself was stunning, with a view of the mountains, overlooking a pond, and beautiful areas for the ceremony and reception. We had a lot of family coming from out of town and Rockin’ S Ranch was the perfect combination of all of our favorite Colorado scenery. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue and more perfect day!

The new bridesmaid/groom suite is the perfect addition to the ranch! Chris is the best owner - she is so kind and amazing at what she does! SO many of our guests have complimented us on the venue and view! If we did it again, we'd pick Rockin' S over and over - it was the most PERFECT day of our lives!

l, and the setup is unique. What sold us was how incredible Chris is though. She is awesome to work with, she put us first, she was very easy to communicate with, and she had a ton of valuable consultative recommendations. We planned our wedding through the pandemic and had to postpone for a year. If it weren’t for Chris, our wedding would not have come together as amazingly as it did. The Day of Coordinator, Kelsie, was also great. She helped bring everything together and her attention to detail is unmatched. If you want an outdoor Colorado wedding with a view of the mountains and breath taking sunsets, then this is the place to go. Rockin S Ranch has connections with a variety of vendors, all of which were great to work with. The Comfort Suites nearby even offers a shuttle to and from the property!

Kelsie were wonderful to work with, they truly cared about making our unique vision a reality. They are invested in getting to know you personally and creating the perfect wedding day for each couple. The venue is beautiful with amazing views, providing the perfect backdrop for the wedding and reception. We loved the open air barn, the layout was great to flow from cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. Chris, Kelsie and their staff made our day perfect and were there for the entire event, handling every detail assuring everything went smoothly throughout our wedding day. We heard so much positive feedback from our guests about our venue. The Rockin' S Ranch is a real gem.

The Rockin' S Ranch is a dream. From the moment we laid eyes on it we knew it was our venue. It had the rustic, Colorado feel we loved, but it was clean, well kept, and the perfe...

ct amount of "glam" with its crystal chandeliers and beautiful bridal suite. My Husband and I got married there June 27th of 2020 and although it was in the middle of the pandemic, Chris, the owner, worked with us tirelessly to make it work so we could still have the wedding of our dreams. We looked at a lot of venues and no other place compared to this one with how things were run. Being a smaller, privately owned venue, you don't feel like you are constrained by the strict rules that most corporately owned venues put on you when they are shuffling you in and out to get the next Bride and Groom in. Chris gives you the freedom to make your day exactly how you want it and we could not be more happy with how it all turned out. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough for any Colorado brides or even destination brides. If you are looking for mountain views, big open space, the "ranch" feel, and the "family" experience while planning your wedding, this is the place for you!

Christine L

The venue was great, and while we were looking to do a 200 person wedding here, due to the current environment we scaled it back to 30 and were still able to have an amazing weddin...

g. So whether its a large or small wedding this venue can accommodate all. Chris and Team were great to work with and one of the reasons we signed up to use the Ranch in the first place. I would highly recommend the Ranch to anyone looking for a rustic, mountain wedding feel close to the city.

Heather S

Choosing the Rockin' S' Ranch was by far the best choice we made for our wedding on August 8, 2020. The venue is by far the most beautiful in Northern Colorado. There are so many u...

nique aspects that really highlight the beauty of being in Northern Colorado. There is a beautiful small lake that gives a dynamic view of the Mountains in the back ground. There is a small pond that allows for seating or a place for a fire pit. The repurposed dairy aspects are so nicely incorporated into the venue, it really is vintage chic. The attention to detail Chris has made to highlight the history of the venue not only add to the aesthetic but give you fabulous places for pictures. The bridal sweet with the dairy equipment mixed with chandeliers and the glass windows, was my favorite part as a bride. The service Chris and Kelsey provide is second to none. The love and care Chris has shown her venue, translate beautifully into how she takes care of her brides. From our first tour of the venue, to our midway check in, to dealing with all the back forth of COVID restrictions, Chris puts so much love, empathy and care into me as one of her brides. I felt so supported during these crazy moments that it made the day seamless once we were finally there. The preferred vendor list that Chris has curated, is so carefully chosen. She only chooses people that she knows will take care of her brides as they go through the booking experience. Every single one we used was phenomenal. Kelsey, her day of coordinator, made everything run so smoothly. She even took care to bring us our appetizers while we were doing pictures after the ceremony. I could go on and on about how incredible this venue is from look and feel but to the love and respect you get from Chris, the owner. We will always look back on our wedding as such a treasured day. Thank you Chris & Kelsey!

Chris D

The PERFECT wedding venue for my wife and I. A beautifully done, refurbished dairy farm, with a view of the Rocky Mountains and well kept area. We had our wedding this past June, a...

nd everything went off without a hitch. Was allowed to have food trucks, great vendor recommendations from Chris and the Rockin' S for bar service and flowers, and plenty of accommodations for our guests around the area. We toured a ton of venues around the state before making our decision. The Rockin' S was the first one we visited. After our numerous tours of all other venues that fit the mold for what we envisioned, none of them came close to the Rockin' S, and I'm SO glad we were able to get married there. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking for an updated country vibe for your wedding!

Chris and Kelsie at Rockin S Ranch made our wedding planning and wedding day as easy as a pandemic wedding can be. Chris worked wonderfully with us throughout the countless changes...

I heard “wow, this place is beautiful” and “I would love to get married here” more times than I could count. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone!

At the end of the night on our wedding it poured, it was the perfect end to the night as it felt like "we were dancing in the rain" without getting soaking wet! The owner Chris, is absolutely amazing! She is available to help you with any questions, gives you suggestions of various vendors, and is so easy to talk to! She definitely goes above and beyond to make sure your day is as magical as it should be! This is truly the best place to have your wedding!

My daughter's original wedding venue was closed due to a permitting problem 9 days before our event. We found the Rockin'S Ranch was incredibly open for our date. Chris, the ow...

ner, was so gracious and genuine. We felt so fortunate to have ended up at her venue and in hindsight, I'm so glad that our venue cancelled us because our guests would not have had the experience they did, nor would we have been so happy as to how the wedding turned out. Most of our guests were from out of state and were in awe of the incredible view of the Front Range from anywhere on the property. We had ample time in between ceremony and reception for the guests to enjoy games in the lawn area, take incredible pictures of the view and family, and explore the creek and pond. We received so many compliments about how beautiful everything was and that was due to the beautiful simplicity that Chris has created in the old dairy barn and surroundings. I can't thank Chris and her team enough for helping make my daughter's day so beautiful.

like family. And the venue itself is absolutely stunning. There are so many options at the Rockin' S Ranch that I'm just looking for an excuse to go back!
