Kate & Jordan
With Bridget and Alicia, we got the BEST. From the very first call, Bridget and Alicia were keyed in and provided great advice and insight.
Susan & Ben
The cohesiveness/flow of our wedding day was perfect. I don't see how this could've been possible without Bridget.
Kati & Xander
Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, ability to actively listen and then execute is unmatched. I am indecisive, and Bridget never made me feel bad about that. I absolutely LOVED working with her and cannot recommend her enough for your wedding planning needs!
Melissa & Zach
Bridget didn’t seem like someone I just hired, she felt like a friend who was supporting us through this massive experience for us, and her composure was always on point.
