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.
