Happy New Year 🤍

This illustration was created by , and it’s the second commission they’ve done for me. It also doubled as our Christmas card this year, and it feels like the perfect way to say hello and thank you to everyone who’s been along for the ride—whether you’ve been here for years or just found RocOnly recently.

This is me, Bianca, and my husband Matt… plus our four cats:
Camden and Pimlico (15-year-old senior legends) and Oliver and Mr. Rochester (four-year-old agents of chaos). It’s a mix of toddlers and senior citizens under one roof, and we love every second of our very loud, very affectionate cat family.

If you’re newer here, I’m Bianca, the person behind RocOnly Events. RocOnly is a solo operation, which means every message, email, application, and conversation comes directly through me. I build the event themes, work with the venues, coordinate with artists, handle the logistics, and keep everything moving behind the scenes—and I love it through and through. From time to time, I also get to collaborate with or bring in extra help for certain markets, and I always enjoy those moments of teamwork and shared creativity so much.

Looking ahead, I’m excited for another year of established markets and familiar locations, plus a little room to grow. January kicks off with two events at and . We’ll be back at The Old Farm Café, returning to our favorite summer spots, and maybe—just maybe—adding a new venue or two.

Encouraging Rochester to shop local will always be at the heart of what I do. If you ever need a recommendation—whether it’s a gift, a baker, an artist, faux florals, or even an ugly pet portrait—I’m always happy to help. If it exists, there’s probably a Rochester creative doing it.

2025 was an absolute blast. I never could’ve imagined RocOnly becoming what it is today. Here’s to 2026, and to continuing to support this wildly talented community we’re lucky to be part of.

Some people just show up—again and again—and make everything around them better.
Melissa of Brass and Bamboo Picnics is one of those people.

From thoughtfully styled photo ops to decor moments that completely transform a space, her work has become a consistent part of what makes RocOnly events feel special.

Based right here in Rochester, Brass & Bamboo Picnics offers:
• luxury picnics
• event planning & coordination
• tablescapes + styling
• balloons
• styled shoots & decor rentals

If you’ve admired the setups at our markets, this is your sign to book her for your own celebration—private events, corporate gatherings, photo shoots, and everything in between.

So grateful for you, Melissa. Thanks for continuing to bring your talent, care, and eye for detail to our events. 💛

✨ RocOnly Events Turns FOUR ✨
Four years ago today, I set up my very first market inside Artisan Works❤️. It was a holiday show, I had no idea what the future would look like, and I definitely didn’t imagine that one event would turn into a full calendar of markets, pop-ups, and partnerships across Rochester.

I wanted to share photos of some of the incredible vendors and friends I’ve had the privilege of meeting along the way.

RocOnly exists because this community shows up.
Because local artists take a chance on me and some of my crazy ideas.
Because venues open their doors and trust me to fill their spaces with something special.
Because Rochester cares about supporting local — truly and consistently.

I’m grateful every single day for the people I’ve met, the creativity I get to be surrounded by, and the support that keeps this going. I feel lucky, I feel thankful, and I’m excited for everything still ahead.

Here’s to year four — and to every person who helped get us here. I’ll keep doing this as long as you keep coming out. ❤️
