Inspired Events

Maggie Rodriguez has more than 20 years of experience in the wedding and event planning industry. As the Founder and CEO of Inspired Events, Rodriguez oversees hundreds of events per year and a support staff that includes chefs, planners, wait staff, designers, and florists. Rodriguez began her career in 1995 when she began planning events for local politicians, health services organizations, and other local nonprofit corporations. She expanded into the wedding industry in 2005, when she opened the doors of her home to couples looking for an intimate place for a wedding. As a venue owner, she witnessed couples dealing with dozens of caterers, florists, and other wedding professionals, and realized many couples were spending a small fortune on their wedding, only to be disappointed with the quality of the services they were receiving from their vendors. Rodriguez decided to expand her business to catering and event planning with the philosophy of “affordable luxury.“ She built an award-winning venue, catering & planning firm and in 2010, she sold her interests in the business. In 2012, she handpicked her team and brought together like-minded professionals to give clients a seamless wedding planning experience, and Inspired Events was born.

Rodriguez is also the developer and creator of The Wedding Master Class by Inspired Events. It is an online platform designed to break down the wedding planning process, for couples with budgets below $40,000. The platform includes subscriptions and services to make the planning journey stress-free.

This award recognizes an individual who has dedicated her orhis professional life to creating superior events for her or his couple while going above and beyond in delivering customer service.
