Margarita “Maggie” Bravo

Owner of Bravo Events

My name is Margarita “Maggie” Bravo proud owner of Bravo Events. I grew up in Ventura county helping my parents run their own catering business from home, with our largest event having 800 people in attendance – which was my cousin’s wedding.

So, wedding planning became second nature to me and being able to work under stress and staying calm is one of my strongest attributes. I am able to think outside the box when it comes to changes, & adapting fast. I enjoy the Event Planning Process and helping others. I’m outgoing, a people person… I am a Bilingual planner and can confidently manage your event to your specific needs.

I understand how important it can be to still keep the traditions going. I understand the unique differences between today’s modern wedding ceremonies and receptions or any special event planned.

So, whether you have a big event or a small event, modern or traditional, we can do it all! Give us a try and you will have everyone saying “Bravo”.
