OUR STORY

At Mint Events, we plan with intention, detail, and unforgettable moments.

Bridget West, founder and lead planner, didn’t follow a traditional path into the world of events—she was practically raised in it. As the daughter of a Food & Beverage Director, she grew up exploring hotel ballrooms, watching events unfold, and learning the power of well-run timelines from behind the scenes. Those early memories planted a seed that would eventually grow into a thriving career.

With a background in fashion, logistics, and large-scale production, Bridget brings a rare combination of creative vision and sharp execution. She’s not just a planner—she’s a producer, a problem-solver, and a calming presence. From luxury weddings and editorial-style celebrations to high-end corporate events, Mint Events offers full-service planning, design consulting, day-of coordination, and everything in between. Bridget believes every event should feel like an extension of your story—intentional, seamless, and unforgettable.

HOW WE GOT HERE

It was years in the making

  • Bridget grew up surrounded by the buzz of ballrooms and banquet halls, often trailing behind her dad, a Food & Beverage Director. From folding napkins to watching grand receptions unfold, she developed an early understanding of timelines, guest experience, and the little details that make events feel seamless. Even as a child, she had a natural eye for ambiance—and a love for the energy of celebrations.

  • Determined to make her mark in the fashion world, Bridget enrolled in design school with dreams of becoming a fashion designer. But it wasn’t long before she realized her true calling wasn’t on the sketchpad—it was in the structure, the flow, and the behind-the-scenes orchestration that made designs come to life. She discovered a passion for logistics, strategy, and executing creative visions with precision.

  • After a few formative years in the city, Bridget moved back to Louisiana, bringing with her big-picture thinking and city-honed efficiency. She accepted a role with a national fireworks company, where she managed logistics and coordination for large-scale productions—including NFL halftime shows for the Saints, Hornets, Pelicans, and events at LSU. The job sharpened her skills in event flow, timing, and working under high pressure.

  • While watching My Best Friend’s Wedding, Bridget was captivated by the cinematic moment where a Rolls Royce drives through a cloud of fireworks. It clicked: fireworks should be part of weddings. She pitched the idea to venues and created customized wedding send-off packages, introducing romantic fireworks finales at places like Nottoway Plantation. She attended bridal shows and positioned fireworks as a fresh, unforgettable touch to wedding celebrations.

  • After seeing a gap in the market for planners who could merge logistics with beauty, Bridget officially launched her wedding planning business. She offered services that blended creative direction with detailed coordination—designing weddings and corporate events that were as smooth behind the scenes as they were stunning on the surface.

  • Becoming a mom shifted everything. Her “why” became deeper, and her ability to multitask, prioritize, and lead with empathy became her biggest strengths. She now balances motherhood with entrepreneurship—proving that you can be both grounded and ambitious, nurturing and driven.

  • Over the years, Bridget has become known for her hands-on approach and cool-headed execution. She’s tested in the top 3% nationally for multitasking and problem-solving—skills that show up in every timeline she builds and every wedding she manages. Whether it’s a romantic elopement or a 300-guest gala, Bridget makes it feel effortless.
