MVP from beginning to the end!

Raquel is a truly amazing wedding planner, and was extremely easy to work with from the initial planning, throughout the wedding planning process, and the day of.

We hired Raquel because we could tell how passionate she is about wedding planning, and making the wedding of our dreams become a reality. Her high level of organization, and keeping us on track was definitely an incredible experience. Raquel would provide detailed checklists at the beginning of each month leading up to our wedding to make sure that we always stayed on track, and it helped narrow down what we needed to do. This was extremely helpful to drastically lower our stress, and decision fatigue.

When it came to meeting the vision I had for my wedding, I handed her a full Pinterest board of things I wanted from signage, florals, and table scapes and she came up with a full design vision board of what she envisioned from what we gave. Since we started almost 2 years in advance of our wedding, she was also really flexible with design when the things that I wanted to add or remove changes.

In terms of logistics, Raquel was extremely helpful and was the absolute best at ironing out all the logistical details with transportation and timing so that everything was running so smooth and efficient. This is also very true for vendors, she has a lot of connections and vendors that she can recommend in the area that she’s worked with. Raquel handles and holds all your vendor agreements all in one place, and makes sure that she is aware of everything, and will advocate for you if something goes wrong. Raquel responded quickly to emails and texts every time, making you feel like you’re her top priority. Her high level of care and professionalism was a highlight, and made it so easy to work with her.

We initially gave her our ideal budget and she did a great job at making sure we stayed within our budget as well as told us what was worth splurging more on and what we could do without. She has a calm and empathetic demeanor and she is a great listener. She always helped to ease any anxiety I was having throughout the process and was always able to answer any questions that I had about anything.

We cannot thank Raquel enough for making our dream wedding, a reality. We will miss working with her, because she made everything so easy, and was a true MVP from beginning to end.

Nothing left to worry about!

It's hard to put into words just how grateful we are for the Roque team's help in creating our dream wedding day. The entire team executed the most beautiful and seamless day we could have ever imagined. Not once did we have to worry about a thing, and even our guests commented on how smoothly everything went. It would not have been possible without them!
From the start, we felt that Raquel and Mercedes truly understood our vision. Mercedes guided us to design the most beautiful combination of outdoor elegance.  They made the entire year of planning not only manageable but also fun. We honestly feel like we assembled the vendor dream team!  The work and coordination behind the scenes did not go unnoticed, especially on the day of, and we are so grateful for every detail.
Our wedding was a first for the Roque team at this particular venue site—yet it was executed flawlessly. Accommodating the alternate site was no small feat, but it felt absolutely perfect, and we will always cherish that.
We are grateful to the Roque team for their patience with our endless emails, our anxious moments, and even the last-minute dress steam (and rescue from makeup stains!) The entire team handled everything with such grace—including our parents and families—and made the day of our dreams come to life.



We cannot recommend Raquel and the Roque team enough. They completed this chapter of our love story so perfectly—we’ll always look back on our wedding day with the most incredible memories.

Best planning team ever!

Raquel and her entire team at ROQUE events were the best wedding planners anyone can ask for. My wife and I worked with them to plan our wedding and they nailed it! They handled everything from vendor selection, design, and coordination. All that was left for us to do was write our vows and practice our first dance - they literally did everything else. On the big day, it was amazing to see how all of the concepts/designs/mockups Raquel provided through the process came to life and how well they coordinated the timeline of the wedding. Everything flowed smoothly and so many guests came up to me afterwards to say it was the most well executed wedding they had been to. Thank you for making our big day so memorable and relaxing - it would never have happened without you!
