ROQUE Events

From the first time we spoke to Raquel up through our wedding day I knew we had picked the perfect planner. We aren't local to Napa, and she guided us to find vendors who perfectly fit our vision for our wedding. She made the process so seamless - multiple friends asked me how stressed I was about wedding planning, and I could honestly answer that it hadn't even crossed my mind to be stressed because of Raquel! Her attention to detail and organization helped us stay on track to make the wedding planning process super smooth. She was available for all questions and checked in with us just the right amount. My husband and I are both in various stages of medical training, and Raquel worked around our busy schedules flawlessly to make everything come together with no stress. Multiple guests commented that our wedding looked like something they'd see in a magazine or wedding blog - and it was 100% thanks to Raquel. We are so grateful for her hard work and brilliance!

It is impossible for any review to accurately describe what Raquel and her team did for us over the last week. In short, they performed a miracle under the most difficult circumstances imaginable. The Roque team is based in Napa, CA, a community currently suffering the worst wildfires in the history of California. Raquel and Carly both had to move to safety in SF last week, which was also the week our wedding had been scheduled in Napa. On the morning of Tuesday Oct 10, we spoke to Raquel and we were very thankful to hear that she and her family were safe!! She shared with us that she had been evacuated to San Francisco the day before, and then without any hesitation, she started talking about options for our wedding. To still focus on your clients in a situation like this was truly remarkable – we were so very humbled and grateful. My wife’s family and many friends had already travelled to California from Russia and Europe, so we were still hoping to have an event somewhere in the Bay Area. Within hours of our call with Raquel Tuesday morning, she had not one but two different options for a wedding in San Francisco!! Let’s pause here for a second to consider what Raquel did for us. The morning after relocating from the fires, she was not only engaged with her clients but also rescheduled an entire wedding within a matter of hours. Just writing about this makes us choke up with gratitude. We were married at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel in SF and our reception was in the Crown Room, which has 360 views of the city. Our wedding day was truly amazing and a day we will always remember. All this happened because of Raquel and her team. Every single one of our guests were amazed at how we were able to have a Fairmont wedding on such short notice. We know several guests who have already referred their friends to Raquel! Words cannot describe how forever grateful we will be for Raquel and her team. Raquel, Carly, we cannot say these words enough–thank you.

Raquel and the outstanding team at ROQUE were indispensable and FUN partners in planning our beautiful San Francisco wedding for 150 guests. We wanted our day to be unique, and to have a boutique, personal experience with our planning team— they delivered. If you read no further, know that ROQUE Events have the planning expertise, design sense, and professional network to put together a memorable event on any scale.

When we began our planning process, we wanted to explore venues in both San Francisco (where we live), and in wine country. Despite being Napa-based, ROQUE had no trouble introducing us to great venues and vendors in both locations, nor with ultimately coordinating an amazing wedding in the city, including several in-person meetings and previews.

Based on our input, ROQUE created an effective vision board for our event and coordinated an army of vendors to bring it to life. Where we didn’t have existing vendor relationships, ROQUE hooked us up with a dream team that fit our style perfectly. Where we brought vendors to the table, ROQUE quickly established a super-positive working relationship. If we wanted something done, they found a way to make it work and make it better. Countless times, their expertise helped us hone in on details we might not have thought of at all.

Thanks to ROQUE, on our wedding day, we were able to go with the flow and enjoy ourselves. Our guests had the BEST time. Everything was beautiful. At the end of the night, the team made sure we received all our personal items. Post-event follow up has been great.

Throughout the process, ROQUE kept us on track with detailed timelines, conversation logs, vendor lists, payment schedules, and monthly checklists for other items we needed to accomplish. Communication was fast, clear, and it was obvious that ROQUE do not take on more clients/events than they can handle with a personal touch.

In short, we’re thrilled with our experience, and you will be too!
