Gerard and Maritza have been creating amazing experiences in Surprise, AZ, since 2003.

Maritza is the creative force behind the scenes, with a knack for event planning and a background in travel that helps her craft unforgettable moments. She has a real passion for making every event special, whether it’s a small gathering or a big corporate event.

With 25 years of military service, Gerard brings leadership and a commitment to getting things right. Together, they ensure every detail is handled with care.

AZ Event Space started as a simple idea: to offer more than just a venue. Gerard and Maritza wanted to create a space where the community could come together, be creative, and have fun. Along with flexible event spaces, they offer a wide range of party rentals—tents, tables, chairs, games, and themed decor—to help bring any vision to life.

They cater to all kinds of events, from business meetings to charity fundraisers and personal celebrations. Their goal is to make planning easy and to create events that people remember. This journey is fueled by their love for bringing people together and making memories that last.

Maritza began her career in the insurance industry, but after retiring, she sought something more exciting and opened a travel agency. This new adventure eventually led her into the event and entertainment industry. When she’s not busy planning events, 

Maritza enjoys spending quality time with her family, exploring new travel destinations, and getting creative with DIY projects. Her journey from insurance to travel and now event planning has equipped her with a unique blend of skills, making her the go-to person for bringing event ideas to life. Maritza is dedicated to focusing on every detail to ensure each event turns out exactly as envisioned.
