held at The Vault Venue in Brandon. Hundreds
of tiny princesses were seen entering the venue
for the event during the last week of July.
“Events like Princess Night are great trial runs
for families who are considering visiting places
like Disney World. Parents can see how their
child might react to characters in person,” says
Taylor. Bridges’ cast has also been seen dressed
as the Sanderson Sisters from the movie Hocus
Pocus around Halloween as well as elves and other
Christmas classics during the winter holiday
season. To say they can and have done
it all is an understatement!
With in-person interactions being limited
during the height of quarantine in 2020, Taylor
and her team had to think of creative ways to still
connect with the community. It was during that
time they began doing character FaceTime calls.
Characters like Elsa would call to say hello and
would add a personal touch to the dialog in order
to make the conversation feel more real. “Getting
to see kids’ faces light up when they answered the
phone was unlike anything else! They truly
believed a princess was calling them!” exclaimed
Taylor. The quarantine video calls broke through
the city limits, and Enchanting Memories made
calls all over the country. But as people began to
gather more often as the year went on the cast was
able shift away from the limitations of a video call
and begin booking appearances in person again.
When asked what her goals were and where
she wanted to see the business go, Taylor listed off
several hopes and dreams. “I would love to see
my business reach into different regions of the
state. It would be amazing to have a team in the
Northern Mississippi as well as the Coast,” she
said. Another aspiration Taylor has is to acquire a
storefront for her business.
The Enchanting Memories team typically
travels to their events held at homes, local
businesses, and other locations. Taylor dreams of
the day where people do not have to worry with
hosting a space to book her team. The storefront
could allow customers to schedule parties and
events without the trouble of finding their own
event space. As she and her cast grow, she wants
to see her business capabilities grow as well.
Bridges explained, “My mind is always going.
I am always trying to think of ways for us to get a
little bigger and better.”
Enchanting Memories Entertainment can
bring the fairytale spark to your next event.
Taylor and her team offer a “Fairy Godmother
Consultation” where different character
combinations and party packages can be
explained. Characters can be booked by simply
reaching out via Facebook, Instagram, or email
(enchantingmemoriesms@gmail.com).
“Where people may think they are just hiring
a princess, they are ultimately supporting a group
of actresses and singers that genuinely love doing
what they do. Anytime people book us for an
event, we are excited to continue to spread our
magic,” Taylor concludes. Enchanting Memories
has proved that magic and fairytales aren’t just on
television and in storybooks. They are right here
in your hometown.
