Howdy! I’m Moriah!

Weddings have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents were both admired teachers who were often invited to former student's weddings, so I had been to dozens before I even started working in the industry! I loved observing the beauty of these events and became completely enthralled with weddings when my older sister got married when I was 10. Keeping up with her wedding plans was so much fun that I started planning fake weddings after school (and sometimes during school!)
After running a successful wedding florist for nearly 4 years then being a venue manager and wedding planner for a year, I decided to start my own business focused on joy, inclusion, and unique wedding planning. I am a planner by nature at any given moment I have at least 3 planners/calendars nearby, so I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to realize I was meant to be a wedding planner!
Some more about me:
I have a cat named Smokey who is my entire world and has completely taken over my camera roll.
I love sports and have season tickets to the Rockies and Broncos.
I tend to speak in pop culture references (thank you Gilmore Girls)
I love movies and have seen 37 movies for the first time so far this year
JayBird Events is named after my father, Stephen Jay Nelson, who passed away unexpectedly in 2021.
He was a lover of all things outdoors including white water rafting, fishing, camping, and hiking. From a very young age he taught me all about recycling and always leaving the environment I was in "better than you found it."
