My name is Mariah Juarez and I am the owner and CEO of Full Bloom Events based in Colorado Springs, CO. Full Bloom Events is who I am, I live my life to the fullest always trying to incorporate kindness and joy into the world. I have been in the wedding industry for a decade, now. Before becoming the wedding coordinator and business owner I am today, I worked for a DJ company back in Abilene, Texas. I absolutely loved what I did, and getting to be a part of someone’s wedding day became very important to me.
My hobbies include listening to Taylor Swift (swiftie for life!!), spending time outdoors, learning new life skills from TikTok, videoing my son’s “hey mom watch this” moments, being the caretaker for my sweet family, and watching any and all reality tv shows (the Challenge is my favvvv).
When did I know coordinating weddings was “the one”?
While working as a DJ, I noticed how the bride of the wedding I was working, was not pumped with her coordinator. And I mean not at all. But not only that, any and every time she talked with her coordinator, she would get even more upset and teary. I knew in that moment, that I could be a wedding coordinator, but not like all the other wedding coordinators out there…
I care. I care so deeply about each and every one of the weddings I get to work. And I knew that with my experience, drive, and motivation, that I could be the best damn wedding coordinator there was.
So at last, my business was born. Since the opening of FBE back in 2018, my little family and I have moved from Texas to Colorado, and FBE is now servicing the State of Colorado.

Choosing the right wedding invitations sets the tone for the event. Engraved invites on elegant cardstock can inspire formal attire, but couples should feel free to personalize their choices.

Address concerns about uninvited guests and ensure response cards have names. The invitation's style should match the wedding's tone and the couple’s community. Lastly, avoid unnecessary phrases like "black-tie optional" to simplify guest attire expectations.
