About Center of Attention

Center of Attention

Lead Coordinator

With over 20 years of experience and a genuine love for planning and organization, I am a bilingual (English–Spanish) Day-of Coordinator who helps bring calm and structure to important events. By day, I work as a Medical Program Coordinator, and now I’m excited to be building my own coordination business—doing what I love most: managing details, supporting clients, and making sure everything comes together seamlessly.

I am easy going, a great communicator, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with my clients. I stay calm under pressure—while making sure we laugh along the way. I am easy to work with, and known for keeping things organized without adding stress. I love having fun with my clients and bringing positive energy, humor, and reassurance to every event.

In three words: Organized, Resourceful, Supportive

    Center of Attention was a dream to work with for our wedding. Maggie, our planner, was punctual, direct and to the point in her communication style, which we greatly appreciated during the busy planning process. The attention to detail and composure she and her team brought to our special day was invaluable. They made sure our wedding venue and ceremony were perfect, just as we had envisioned. Maggie stayed true to the timeline and ensured all vendors were in place and ready to go. As this was our first and only wedding, Maggie took the time to get to know us and provided great input that kept us calm under pressure the whole time. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience.

  • Excellent work!

    My experience with Center of Attention was truly unforgettable. We were celebrating my Comadre’s 50th surprise birthday, and from the moment the day began, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm knowing everything was in her hands. Maggie didn’t just coordinate the event — she brought it to life with care, intention, and heart. Every detail was handled beautifully, everything flowed seamlessly, and I was able to be fully present and enjoy the celebration without stress or worry. The best part was seeing how happy and surprised my Comadre was. She absolutely loved how everything turned out and kept saying, “Wow, Maggie does beautiful work!” Maggie was so warm and friendly with all the guests, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable, which truly elevated the entire experience. Center of Attention truly lived up to its name. Maggie's professionalism, kindness, and genuine passion shined through every moment. I am beyond grateful for her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator who brings both excellence and heart to their special event.

    As the party bus driver for the event, I’d like to thank Center of Attention and Magdalena Rodriguez for providing a clear schedule that allowed us to be on time, professional, and fully prepared. Thank you for treating the drivers as an important part of the event—it truly makes a difference. Much appreciated.

    Magdalena did an amazing job coordinating my baby shower through Center of Attention. She was organized, attentive, and truly made the entire event flow seamlessly. She assisted in keeping the shower running on time by following the game schedule perfectly and making smooth transitions throughout the event. Magdalena also did a great job keeping guests engaged and involved, which really added to the fun and energy of the celebration. Thanks to her coordination and support, I was able to relax and enjoy my special day without worrying about the details. I highly recommend Magdalena and Center of Attention for any event coordination needs!
