This week on The Talk of The Town, we sit down with the energetic force behind one of Fontana’s most talked-about event venues—Suzie Mendez, founder and CEO of Luxie Events. What started as a side hustle and a dream to plan her 10-year high school reunion turned into a full-fledged business redefining how the Inland Empire celebrates.
From Sweet Sixteens to celebrations of life, Suzie has built more than just a venue—she’s created an experience where community, collaboration, and creativity take center stage. In this episode, she opens up about her journey from working in education to building her own business, the power of showing up, and why she believes there’s room for everyone at the table.
We talk event trends, challenges, chamber connections, and what it really takes to turn passion into purpose. Whether you’re planning a wedding or just need a shot of inspiration, Suzie brings all the sparkle (and maybe a few mosh pit stories, too).
