  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.

  Hire ROQUE now!

  Hiring Raquel and ROQUE was the best decision we made during our wedding process. From our very first intro call, we were so impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail, ability to set realistic expectations, and relaxed/fun vibe. As a nursing student, I simply didn't have a time to plan or design a wedding and I can genuinely say that I never once felt stressed during the planning process thanks to Raquel's ability to collaborate and take control when necessary. I am not the type of gal who had been building a Pinterest board of wedding decor ideas my entire adult life, so I was quite overwhelmed with the task of designing my wedding. Raquel was able to take my barely formed and unspecific visions and turn them into the most perfect end result. The week of our Palm Springs wedding predicated rain in our forecast and as you can imagine, we were less than thrilled. Fortunately, we knew we were in great hands and that Raquel and her team would ensure that everything looked perfect. She navigated day of curve balls with style and grace all while keeping me none the wiser and stress free. We could not say enough positive things about her and highly recommend her full service package for those who want to live in stress-free bliss while engaged.

  Raquel is simply the best!!

  
  
  Raquel is honestly the best wedding planner out there. My wife and I were only going to have a wedding if we hired the right planner and we hit the jackpot with Raquel. She’s so nice, helpful, personable, and very responsive. At the beginning of the process we really loved how she was friendly, helpful, and had so many great ideas that matched with what we were going for. What we also liked was how organized and well planned she is. Right away she knew a lot of great venues and venues that she recommended that matched our theme. We also loved how she sent us checklists and timelines to make sure we’re on pace and not stressing over any last minute things before our wedding. She also would schedule brief meetings just to check in, and send emails and texts to make sure everything was okay, or if we had any questions. One thing I really appreciated a lot is her mentioning this our day, and would go to bat for us to make sure it went how we wanted it to go. For example, the venue we chose promised a room block for both Friday and Saturday at first when we toured, they then decided to switch it so we would only have it for Saturday during the wedding. We didn’t want that as the whole point of the venue is to have the rooms blocked off for the day before for us to wake up day of and get ready for the wedding. Right away when Raquel saw that email, she let us know that she would handle it. 20 minutes later they got back to us and agreed to let us have the room for both nights which was amazing. Another amazing thing to hear was the vendors and venues talking about her. They all had such great things to say which was even more reassuring we picked the best planner out there.
  
  Also, my wife at first was iffy on a wedding at first just because of the stress involved and the attention that’ll be put on her. Raquel worked with us and my wife says that our wedding went perfectly and was so glad that we had one. I would honestly recommend Raquel to anyone that’s looking for a planner to help with their wedding. IF you do hire her, be prepared to have the best wedding ever!!

  Indispensable!

  Raquel is simply the best. Hiring her will be the smartest decision you make when it comes to your wedding. From our very first call, I knew she was going to be indispensable - she immediately struck me as someone who is highly competent, personable and passionate. During the 12 months we spent planning my wedding together, I quickly learned that Raquel is also extremely organized (her spreadsheets & checklists are what dreams are made of!), she has an incredible attitude and she cares SO much about what she does and everyone she works with. She has fantastic ideas but is never pushy, she is patient but she knows how to get things done efficiently, she's a great listener and takes the time to understand whats important to you and then prioritizes accordingly. She is a true partner - it's no surprise she has a list a mile long of amazing vendors that are dying to work with her time and time again! I genuinely felt like Raquel was as invested in my wedding as I was, and that was especially true on the wedding day. She was ON IT and it did not go unnoticed! All of my bridesmaids were making comments while we were getting ready before the ceremony - "she's incredibly impressive," "wow it must be so nice having someone like that in your corner," "she really gets you." It was such an honor and a privilege to have someone else dedicate so much of their time & energy into the most special day of my life. She goes above and beyond, without hesitation, and with a smile on her face. I could not have been more proud of the wedding that we planned and the team of vendors that we had in place. I also couldn't believe how much fun my husband & I had - Raquel had told me early on in the planning process that she would ensure I felt like a guest at my wedding, but as someone who can be insanely detail oriented and a bit of a control freak I had a hard time believing my wedding day would be totally stress free for me... She made it happen! She took care of EVERYTHING. She kept me in the loop with positive updates, handled any crisis that came up discretely, managed to keep everyone on schedule throughout the day and I had an absolute blast as a result. The feedback we've received from our friends and family has blown me away - best wedding ever. Raquel, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  Fabulous Wedding Planner!

  Words cannot express how absolutely outstanding, phenomenal, organized and fabulous Raquel is. When my beautiful wife (then fiancé) and I got engaged we did not know where to start in the planning process. If it weren’t for Raquel, we would likely still be at Stage 1, unsure of where to start.
  
  Raquel is one of the most organized, dedicated, incredible and engaging people that I know. Her warm personality and impeccable organizational skills allow her to be an outstanding wedding planner.
  
  From the start, Raquel took a great interest in hearing our love story, learning about what our shared vision for the wedding looked like and walked us amazingly through each step of the process. At the beginning, my fiancé (at the time) and I weren’t yet clear on many of the details or exact vision for our wedding day yet through Raquel’s guidance and support we were about to create a vision for the day that felt aligned and just right.
  
  Along the way, Raquel kept us on track and organized. She had amazing and well-organized tasks for us to do each month that felt manageable and moved us towards the vision that we had for our special day. It is because of Raquel that our wedding day was a total dream, filled with love and each detail on point.
  
  It was an absolute honor to work with Raquel and I give her an absolute A +, 5 Star glowing review.
  
  If you are looking to plan a wedding that aligns with your partnership, with your vision, budget and more then Raquel is a gem and the absolute best!

  Incredible!

  RAQUEL - not sure where to begin! I found Raquel through my wedding venue as one of their preferred vendors. I had an inkling she would be a great pick when we first spoke, because she had worked at my venue before and seemed to really know the ins-and-outs of the space. Raquel has the demeanor everyone looks for in a wedding planner - she allows for your ideas and creativity to shine through as a bride, but isn't afraid to step in when she knows an idea could be better executed. I think at one point she mentioned she had 15 weddings this summer, yet always made time for me/never came across as too busy. One call in particular I remember we were working on the layout of our reception - I had mocked up space for a lounge set in the corner of the room. Raquel chimed in "well we really can't put anything there because we would be blocking the fire exit - there's a door here leading outside that isn't shown on the online layout." THOSE are the details that most people would overlook - not Raquel. Day of the wedding - Raquel was INCREDIBLE. There was never a point where we felt she didn't have things under control. She was calm, professional, and truly everyone has commented on how perfectly the night progressed. Nothing took too long, nothing was too rushed - there was a perfect cadence to the evening and Raquel kept us on our timeline almost to the minute, without making anyone aware how meticulously planned everything was - it just seemed to FLOW. I would recommend Raquel to anyone - truly best decision we made and I can't wait to see how far she goes in this industry. She deserves every bit of recognition. We are still riding the high from the best night/weekend. Raquel truly makes wedding dreams come true!

  The best ever

  Raquel is FANTASTIC. I cannot believe how lucky my husband and I were to find her. I have dealt with some really awful vendors (primarily due to them looking at this purely from the perspective of their bottom line) but I never felt that way with her. I couldn't fully explain what I wanted because I don't do industry-speak, but she could decipher my rambled thoughts and produce exactly what I was looking for, if not better.
  
  We hired Raquel for our destination wedding, full-service planning. SO worth it. She knows what she's doing. SERIOUSLY don't even try to do it on your own. This is what she does. She is not only a professional but she is THE professional.
  
  But more than being excellent at her craft, I felt that I could trust her with everything. It was a long year and half of planning this wedding with outside family trying to have a say with what THEY wanted. She would constantly bring me back by saying, "but what you do YOU want". She became a trusted friend throughout the process. She always had our back. She even handled my neurotic, indecisive husband when it came to fashion choices with so much patience and grace. I would have not lol. She fully advocated for us with each and every vendor, and if a vendor failed to meet our expectations, she was the first to let that vendor know that they sucked and was quick to deal with any last minute decisions (e.g., less than 3 months before the wedding I said "f--- it, this stationary vendor is fired, please find me a new one." Raquel got us ALL of our money back, even after the crappy vendor tried to retain some of their money, and found someone that could do what I wanted instantly). She will not settle for less when it comes to making sure that you have a great wedding planning experience.
  
  Raquel is so good that I didn't even need to recommend her. My guests were blown away at my wedding weekend in Tahoe that they started asking for her information. She's so great! Can't believe I used to plan my own parties. She will forever and always be our go-to planner for all of our event needs!

  You need Raquel, we all need Raquel

  TL;DR : Raquel was critical to making our event beautiful, calm, organized, and on budget. We knew we needed Raquel at the beginning of the process, but there were about 100 other things she did for us that we didn’t know existed. I can’t imagine our wedding without Raquel.
  --------------
  My fiancé (foreshadowing; now husband) and I decided to hire a wedding planner when we became overwhelmed with the budgeting process (how much is this supposed to cost? Why does every vendor get back to you with a different list of things they include?) of wedding planning. We were concerned that when we spoke to friends about their weddings almost every single couple seemed to have a budget… but when it came down to the last few months their budgets went out the window. Almost nobody stuck to it, and they didn’t even know how much money they went over.
  
  I now realize that the extent of our experience with party planning was confined to having six people over for dinner, so we were very unprepared to have a wedding with all of our friends and family!
  
  After meeting with five planners, we quickly picked Raquel. We knew she was organized and experienced enough to help us. We quickly got into our venue search and design meetings. Within weeks we had a detailed budget and schedule to hit all the things we needed to make the day a success. She then spent hours with us refining the vision, working through pictures, and showing us possibilities we didn’t even know existed. We loved the aesthetic that we came up with, it was unique and entirely us – it looked like a dream! As the months went on, she met with us and kept us on task for every aspect of the event.
  
  In those moments where we had no idea what we wanted Raquel guided us through with patience, an even keel, and a smile. I can’t tell you how many times Raquel asked our opinions about a detail - such as an option for the table, or ten minutes in the timeline to allow us to be alone. Those details made the day beautiful but they also ensured that we had the chance to enjoy it.
  
  The day of the wedding was better than I could have imagined. After months of dreaming with Raquel and talking about colors, music, and vision – she fully executed everything! She had kept us on task before this but it was nothing to the organizational feat the day of the wedding! Every part of the design came together AND she managed to facilitate about a dozen vendors, another dozen family members, and another dozen friends coming through with all the pieces to make the day perfect.
  
  Raquel crushed every aspect – she created (and executed to!) a budget at the beginning of our process, took myself and my fiancé through the creative process, and finally kept everyone calm and on task the day of. All my husband and I had to do was enjoy the day! We could not have achieved any of this without Raquel.

  Raquel is THE BEST!!

  Raquel is truly the best wedding planner out there and I highly recommend working with her!! She made the wedding planning process so easy and fun and ensured our day was exactly how we envisioned it.
  
  We hired Raquel for our Summer 2023 wedding and I am so glad we did! From our very first email conversations she was so responsive, friendly and knowledgeable - I knew then we had to hire her!
  
  For the months leading up to our wedding she guided us every step of the way. From vendor recommendations, to detailed checklists she made sure we had thought of everything. We had frequent check-ins throughout the process and she always came prepared and organized. She was quick to answer all my questions and had tons of ideas on how to make our wedding day special. When the week of our wedding the weather threw us a curve ball of 106 degrees, she knew exactly what to do to make sure our guests were comfortable had the best experience without compromising any of our vision.
  
  The day of our wedding she and her team made sure our day was absolutely perfect!! Every vendor, every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and care. They were so organized and efficient and were always available if I needed anything. She made sure the day ran according to schedule and it all turned out absolutely amazing!!

  What a beautiful day!

  We hired Raquel to plan our destination wedding and we are so glad we did! As an out-of-state bride, I felt at ease knowing I had Raquel in my corner. She is extremely organized, reliable, and responsive and she connected us with high-quality vendors who made our wedding day a dream. Raquel totally understood my vision for our wedding day and therefore it was such an easy process working through design choices. She has an eye for events which speaks for itself! I myself am not a type A person, and therefore was grateful throughout the 1 1/2 year planning process to have had Raquel there keeping everything on track and always running smoothly with organized monthly checklists, a detailed vendor list etc. If I ever had an issue with a vendor or wanted to make any changes, Raquel heard me out then communicated with the vendor immediately. I felt like I was in great hands which alleviated SO much of that wedding planning stress! Our wedding day turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier.

  Most Magical Weekend Of Our Lives

  Raquel just recently planned our entire wedding weekend (which included our welcome reception event plus our wedding day) and we cannot thank her for pulling off one of the most magical weekends of our lives. There are many wonderful things about Raquel but let me share of the top 3 highlights of working with her:
  
  1. Fiscal Care: When you are first hiring a planner, it's hard to fathom paying for one, especially when you are looking at all the other bills ahead of you. However, Raquel is worth every dollar. Raquel treats your money as if it was her own money - being a true sherpa by telling us honestly what was worth spending on vs. not spending on. Even while minimizing unnecessary costs, she helped us pull together a really beautiful, elegant, and timeless wedding. At the end of the wedding, we did not feel anything was missing or wasteful.
  
  2. Advocate: She is also an incredible advocate, making sure vendors are treating you well and taking care of you. She went to bat for us several times to ensure we were getting the best service and value. We had a hiccup with our venue 2 weeks out from our wedding date that would've cost us thousands of dollars, and she went to bat for us to ensure we were not charged additional fees and that the venue rectified their misstep. And you want that - with all of the wedding stress and feeling like you have no leverage with vendors, you want a planner who is not just helping you plan a beautiful event, but who is going to be your advocate to have the hard conversations with vendors to ensure you're being treated fairly.
  
  As an aside, besides being a great advocate with vendors, because of her reputation and experience, she has great relationships with premiere vendors. We hired literally all of vendors through Raquel including our DJ, photographer, florist, hair and makeup, signage, and furniture rentals through Raquel, and all of them were the best of the best. It's easy to feel that when you're getting a vendor recommendation from a planner that it's a kickback for them, but that's not what it was for Raquel - she holds a high standard for what makes a wedding great and only recommends people she can trust her clients with. Our friends could not stop raving about the DJ, our photographer made us feel confident, our rentals were beautiful, and our florist literally made us feel that we had a celebrity wedding.
  
  3. Organization: Finally, she is very organized - she is on top of timelines and details to ensure everything is smoothly managed from beginning to end. I am a very type A person and my nod to Raquel is that I felt that I could sit back and feel confident she could run the show better than I could, which she did beautifully.
  
  I am so glad we hired Raquel and now we think of her as a friend as well, which is so special.

  Why You Must Hire Raquel

  We hired Raquel in early 2022 to help us plan our May 2023 wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. If you want to feel confident that your wedding day will go smoothly and feel stress-free in the months leading up to your wedding, you must hire Raquel. You will be so happy you did. Here are the reasons you should hire Raquel.
  
  1. She is extremely organized and detail-oriented. She handled all of the little details from Day 1 through the last second of the wedding - budget, venue scouting and appointments, vendor communications, payment schedules, rehearsal, day-of coordination, clean up etc etc. She gave us a very consumable monthly checklist that made wedding planning very approachable and as stress free as possible. We were totally relaxed the month leading into our wedding.
  
  2. She always says yes. Anytime we wanted to do something, she always said yes and then would explain if that would mean giving up something else or making an adjustment somewhere else. But I knew that if we wanted something to happen, she would make it happen and I felt like we understood all the downstream implications of the choice.
  
  3. She is creative and helps distill your vision. We gave Raquel a huge Pinterest board with all the things we liked and she distilled it down into a more curated board that created the aesthetic foundation for our wedding. It was extremely helpful to have a professional with expertise point out that we seem to like this color and this type of flower and this type of vibe. She encouraged all of our design choices and truly brought them all the life!
  
  4. She is so available and responsive and super positive. Raquel was incredibly responsive to us and we always felt like we were her #1 priority. She always answered our emails promptly and was always available for a call when we needed it. She was also super positive and excited for us through the process!
  
  5. Our wedding day was magical. Raquel worked extremely hard to ensure our wedding day was executed beautifully and ran smoothly. She was non-stop all day and all of my family and friends commented that she was incredible at keeping everyone on schedule and responding to all requests and needs. It was honestly such an incredible day and we could not have done it without Raquel.
  
  We cannot express enough how helpful it is to have a seasoned professional like Raquel helping you throughout the wedding planning process. Wedding planning was fun for us and even though it seemed like a huge daunting challenge when we first got engaged, once we hired Raquel, those feelings disappeared.
  
  Do yourself a favor and hire Raquel.

  Perfect wedding weekend

  It was such a huge relief knowing everything was being handled. Raquel did a great job communicating with all the vendors so there was no confusion for the weekend. Then the day of the wedding it seemed like she was everywhere, I don't know how she did it. Whenever we needed her she was ready, like inspector gadget with the right tool to fix any emergency.

  Excellent experience!

  Raquel was the perfect person to help plan our wedding weekend! She made everything very organized, easy, and fun! As a bride coming from the event industry, I needed a wedding planner who I could trust, have candid conversations with, and understand/execute our priorities. Raquel was the perfect choice! Sometimes it was like we shared a brain!
  
  She made sure our vendors were giving us fair prices and was super helpful for any negotiations during the process. Raquel made sure everything was on-time prior to the day and more importantly on our wedding day! We also worked with Raquel to help us plan our rehearsal dinner and a winery day on Saturday and it was the best decision!

  Raquel planned my dream wedding

  Raquel helped bring my vision to life. I could not have imagined a better designer and planner to bring our destination wedding to fruition. Raquel worked with tons of vendors from afar (and a HUGE family with lots of opinions!) and did a fabulous job. Not only did she put our vision first, she also made sure we had everything we needed leading up and on the day of. I am so pleased with ROQUE events and truly enjoyed the most beautiful and fun wedding.

  Excellent Execution!

  Raquel was extremely organized, professional and executed our wedding beautifully and successfully! If there was anything going awry, I certainly didn't know about it (or stress) because she handled it smoothly. Her continued communication throughout the engagement process was calming and reassuring. She always had everything under control. As a type A person planning a wedding 2,000 miles away, I could NOT have done it without Raquel. Numerous friends and family commented on how we didn't forget a detail, and it was because we had Raquel helping us!

  Fantastic wedding thanks to Raquel

  We highly recommend Raquel as a wedding planner as she helped us have a seamless wedding at Napa. Her help with coordinating with all the vendors cannot be understated. And on the day of the wedding when things were running behind or earlier than scheduled, she made the necessary adjustments to ensure we didn't miss an event or that our guests do not get bored. In fact, I had begun worrying about the small details of the wedding as the date drew closer, but she assured us she would take care of everything and that we should just focus on looking and feeling our best, which she 100% did.

  Total No-Nonsense Pro

  Raquel simply nailed it for our wedding this weekend. I loved how straightforward and professional she was from the moment we met her. No nonsense. She kept us on track the entire process leading up to the big day, and day of, everything that was supposed to happen, happened to a T. Ceremony started at 5pm on the dot, and from that moment on, it was flawless. And you could really tell in the moment how devoted she was to making sure we had the best night of our life. She truly cared deeply that that happened.
  
  The best part? Raquel helped me pull of a huge surprise performance for the bride with 20 of our closest friends. Total discretion. My wife’s mind is still blown.
  
  By the end of the night, I started telling anyone that asked I was going to try to recruit her to join my company. As my boss of course. Fortunately for anyone here, I’m thinking she’s going to stick with weddings.

  So over the moon happy!

  Our wedding was an absolute dream and we owe it to Raquel! She kept the planning process stress free for us and accommodated everything we asked for. She connected us with the most picture perfect venue at Beaulieu Garden and the best vendor team with respect to catering, photography, make-up/hair, floral, transportation, an officant, photobooth, and more.
  
  The wedding day beyond exceeded our highest expectations - the day went seamlessly and the three site set-ups were all mindblowingly beautiful.
  
  The only issue we ran into was our paper goods vendor so Raquel arranged for a full refund/contract termination, which we didn’t end up doing but probably should have.
  
  Overall we would highly highly highly recommend Roque events! Just ask Raquel to see our wedding photos and I think you’ll be sold.
