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.

The BEST in the Business!

I can't say enough amazing things about my amazing wedding planner, Raquel! My husband and I hired Raquel in the spring of 2023 to help us plan our June 2024 wedding. We spoke with many planners before making our final decision, but Raquel stood out to us right away because of her professionality, her obvious organization skills, and her experience in wedding planning. From the moment we started working together, Raquel earned our trust and never broke it. I genuinely enjoyed our meetings and looked forward to each of them. Raquel was patient and understanding as I changed my mind again, again, and again. She has a very special ability to make her brides feel like they are her only clients. She was always available when I needed her, she never passed me off to an associate, and she helped achieve our absolute dream wedding. It's clear that the vendors she works with respect her immensely, which always brought us great comfort, too. We always assumed something would go wrong at our wedding because so many of our friends prepared us for that, but I can honestly say everything went off without a hitch! We are so thankful for Raquel and Roque Events, and we recommend her very highly!

Best Decision!

I said this in our wedding toast and would shout it to the world - Roque Events was the smartest decision I made in the wedding process, and the best money that I spent.

Raquel was consistently communicative via email and text (whichever I preferred), always on top of vendors, and handled all issues without my involvement unless I requested otherwise. After the first couple months I realized that I could let her run the show and trust that the wedding would be beautiful, and I was right; it was everything that I had dreamed of and went off without a hitch. Her and her team dealt expertly with a very difficult venue team in a remote location behind the scenes while I was none the wiser. She only told me about roadblocks after she had already solved the issue, if ever - so I was never left feeling stressed or overwhelmed. She was also not afraid to tell me when an idea of mine might make another aspect of the wedding more complicated, but always allowed me to make the final decision and was more than willing to execute whatever idea I had (even if it made her job difficult).

Raquel also took the time to truly understand my vision and recommend the vendors that would execute it perfectly. I found almost all vendors through her, and could not have been happier with any of them. From the big picture to the smallest details, she ensured that every vendor was taken care of and knew what they were doing.

Lastly, Raquel and her team are just kind hearted, lovely people to work with. I never felt like I was bothering her when I sent a text or email, and it truly felt like I was working with a friend throughout the entire process. She is a creative, out-of-the-box thinker and a joy to be around.

Whether you're Type B like me and want to throw the entire wedding at your planner, or you're Type A and want another set of eyes to make sure you've thought of everything. Roque Events is the place to go.
