“Without José, our wedding would not have been the magical and unforgettable day it was. He kept us on schedule, dealt with our stress, and reminded us to have fun at every twist and turn. The day-of, his professionalism shown through and the only thing we had to worry about was finding the energy to keep dancing all night. Our biggest regret is that we don't get to have our regular check-ins with him anymore! He is highly recommended for the best experience possible.”
- Mike & Roy
“Jose isn't just a planner, he is a warm, kind, laid-back, and understanding shoulder to lean on. We had a very clear vision of what we were looking for and José was able to see that vision clearly as well. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had and ready to go with great ideas. When we walked into the venue and saw our vision come to life, we both were besides ourselves. Our wedding was better than we ever could have imagined and it was all thanks to José.”
- Sofia & Max
“I will never forget the first day I met José. I was running late from work and was frazzled. Just a few minutes after I sat down, I found myself at ease and laughing. This first encounter set the tone for the next few months. José made light of when I couldn't concede control of something and took the reigns quickly when I was ready to pass the baton. José and his team made planning a wedding joyous and they ensured that we had the time of our lives.”
- Megan & James
“José was absolutely amazing—it is rare to meet someone who not only impresses you on a professional level but also on a personal level. Honestly, I do not know what I would have done without him. He went so above and beyond what we hired him for—sending me vendor recommendations, controlling of all of my vendor contacts, creating an easy-to-follow timeline for me and my bridal party. and coordinating everything for the whole day. On the day of our wedding I did not have to worry about a single thing!”
- Emma & David
“Working with José was a wonderful experience. We came to him with a vision of a slightly unconventional wedding that was still refined and heartfelt. He suggested vendors he knew and trusted, all of which were of exceptional quality and helped shape our vision closer and closer to a reality. His team kept us organized, on task, and on budget. On the day of our wedding, José was on top of everything. He was the best decision we made after picking our date!”
- Lauren & Ryan
“I guarantee you will not regret the day you book José as your planner. Five months before our wedding, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer. It became clear that unless we moved the whole event, my Dad would not be able to attend. After calling José, literally within hours, he rescheduled the ENTIRE event two months later when my Dad would be feeling well enough to attend. We did not loose a single vendor and they all waived the change fee (not a coincidence, they were all José’s recommendations). That was the moment I realized that José was a superhero and miracle worker.”
- Andrea & Alex
“José was the 2nd most important man at my wedding (besides my handsome groom!) From our first meeting to the end of the wedding night, José was professional, funny, lovable, and the best coordinator I've ever dealt with! He made the entire process seem seamless, even cleaning the back of my dress before I walked down the aisle (it had gotten dirty getting to the venue). He thought of everything and made the night magical.”
- Jenny & Jason
“Stop! Do yourself the biggest favor and hire José. He lets you enjoy your own wedding! We didn't have to lift a finger. The second we couldn't find something, he found it. The second we started to get a little warm, the A/C was adjusted. The second our photographers left, José was on the dance floor taking Polaroid after Polaroid to make sure we could enjoy ourselves and have amazing photos. He's so fantastic and you will love him!”
- Gillian & Colin
“We both agree that bringing José on was the best wedding decision we made outside of getting married to each other. José was professional, organized, calm and clearly in love with what he does. He checked in with me consistently, kept every vendor clear on details and expectations, and never let me sweat the small stuff. The devil is in the details and José has a magical way of keeping everything in perspective.”
- Mikey & Andrew
“Unquestionably, José was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. The consummate professional, José went above and beyond: problem solving for endless situations we hadn’t anticipated, mediating disagreements arising between vendors, organizing the many moving pieces, and executing the day of the wedding flawlessly. He’s also extremely sweet and charming to boot.”
- Abe & Frank
“We are so grateful to José for helping us pull off our dream wedding! When we found out the day before our wedding that Hurricane Irene would change our plans from an outdoor tented event to an indoor one, José was there to help ensure that the last-minute changes allowed us to have everything on our wishlist without having to compromise our vision. With Jose's help, our wedding was a spectacular event that we will never forget!”
- Christina & Steve
“Our wedding was perfect in every sense of the word. José delivered us a seamless wedding and peace of mind, all with a smile and the utmost professionalism. He is extraordinary, going above and beyond in every way. I say this as the Editor-in-Chief of Sophisticated Weddings: New York Edition magazine: Jose is truly one-of-a-kind, and it just doesn't get any better than JRE.”
- Samantha & Steven
“José, you were a dream to work with. On the wedding day, you were amazing! When my veil was M.I.A., you ran and got me a replacement. When my dress strap broke, you produced a sewing kit out of nowhere! And I can't thank you enough for alerting me that there was only an hour of dancing left and that I had better drop get my butt out there and shake it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
- Chris & Priyanka
“José made sure that he was available to answer any question I had, no matter how big or small. When it came time for the big day, when little issues arose (as they inevitably do), José was keen on running interference and assuring me that he would take care of it. I'm not sure how he did it, but he was always at the right place at the right time! As a result, we had a phenomenal experience with virtually no stress!”
- Miri and Noel
“José Rolón loves making connections with people and that's what makes him one of the best event planners. He not only cares for the happiness of the couples who hire him, but also for each and every guest at a celebration. He's seen the needs of hundreds of couples, worked with countless vendors, and understands what it takes to ensure a seamless and positive party. José's passion is crystal clear and a joy to be around.”
- Yen of Real Food Catering
“José is smart, sweet, and a great hand holder, but my favorite thing about him is his honesty with his clients. He will always tell you the truth and never try to steam roll you with his own agenda, a rare and wonderful thing. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
- Chef Rossi of The Raging Skillet
“Finding a good wedding planner in New York is a hard thing to do. We are so glad to have had the opportunity to work with Jose Rolon as he is one of the few great ones! His attention to detail, professionalism, and charisma are unparalleled. We could not recommend him more highly and can't wait to work with him more in the future.”
-Juliet & Sierra of Poppies & Posies

Natasha, Event DIRECTOR
Hi, I’m Natasha! After working in the fashion merchandising industry for over a decade I decided it was time to pursue my dream of wedding planning.
I have a keen eye for design and attention to detail with a big picture mentality. I am also passionate and committed to helping people and love to plan a good party.
After planning my own wedding and being told by many it was “the wedding to beat” I knew I had a knack for planning unique one-of-a-kind events.
I joined José Rolón Events as an admirer of his work and am fully dedicated to working alongside José, helping couples bring their dream weddings to life with a lot of laughs and smiles along the way.
Things that characterize José—and set him apart:
He’s massively comfortable under pressure. Bring it on!!
He’ll never oversell you—whether it’s a vendor’s services or his own.
He cools hot tempers with a kindness and composure that is contagious.
He uses a surprising secret weapon: generosity. Instead of channeling a drill sergeant, José first asks, "what can I do to help?"
He’s has a love for dance. This is why he hooks up all of his couples with a choreographer for their first dance.
