Rocio’s love for events began early through planning all of her family’s outings. She would organize trips to the mall, to the movies, and was the exclusive family event planner for all birthdays. Later on, in high school Drama Club, she would gather the cast and crew on the final nights for a post-show dinner. Throughout the years, Rocio became known by all her family and friends as their personal event planner. Not realizing, yet, that this was her passion, Rocio continued to plan everyone’s celebration throughout her late teens and 20’s. Everyone loved that there was always something to celebrate.

In college, Rocio realized her passion was to plan events and it was time to turn her hobby into a career. She continued to assist friends and family with social affairs, from baby showers to bridal showers, and more. This led her to major in Hospitality Management. Through her journey, Rocio had the opportunity to attend a Meeting and Event Planning Conference. This is where she met Lauren Halpern and became part of the Make a Statement Events team! Forever a fan of the arts and creativity, Rocio’s mind is always flowing with ideas that can translate into spectacular and fun events.

After a few years of working with Lauren and Make a Statement Events, the unprecedented year of 2020 came around to test everyone and every industry. For Lauren and Rocio, they knew that they could continue to provide the statement-worthy events they were known for, even during this time. Thus, the event boxes were launched! By enhancing and making virtual events a more interactive experience, Rocio is committed to making a statement and leaving an impression.
