rincess tiaras, superhero capes,
ball gowns, and a little bit of
pixie dust – Enchanting
Memories Entertainment has
brought quite a bit of magic to the
Madison County area, one character
at a time. Taylor Bridges, 23, is the
creative mind and magic maker for
a local business that is bringing fairytales to
life. From birthday parties and event
appearances to Comic Cons and ribbon
cuttings, Taylor and her cast are creating
memorable experiences for all.
Taylor, a Yazoo City native, works at Van’s
Comics, Cards, and Games in Ridgeland.
She has always loved the ability to bring her
favorite characters to life and, through Van’s,
she has had the ability to assist in Comic Cons
and other local events.
Growing up obsessing over Disney, Taylor
jumps at any opportunity to dress up as her
favorite characters. She has traveled all over
the southeast to participate in various
conventions and events with her friends.
Taylor enjoys getting to meet new people
and networking though these events, and
she likes being able to draw inspiration from
other cosplayers. Van’s Comics, Cards, and
Games has played a large role in the success
of Enchanting Memories by helping Taylor
with business advice and encouragement
along the way.
Enchanting Memories Entertainment
didn’t develop overnight. The idea of
Taylor’s started close to six years ago at
King’s Daughters Hospital in Yazoo City.
Her grandmother, who was a nurse at King’s
Daughters at the time, asked if she would be
interested in volunteering for the hospital’s
Princesses and Pancakes event. Taylor
dressed up as Elsa from Disney’s Frozen.
