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

    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.

    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!
