Hey there! I’m Bridgette, and I’ve spent over 10 years immersed in the magic of weddings. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations with hundreds of guests, I bring passion, precision, and heart to every event. What fuels me most is the diversity of love stories — each one deserves a ceremony and a celebration that feels personal, authentic, and joyfully unforgettable. I offer both day-of coordination and officiant services, working closely with couples to ensure their vision is flawlessly executed & backed by a team of professionals.

“Bridgette was an absolute lifesaver when it came to planning, rehearsal, and day-of coordination. Her attention to detail truly made our day as beautiful as possible. If anything went wrong on my day, I had no idea because she handled everything! She is so kind and cares about you and your day. Her assistant coordinator, Gabby was also amazing and so ready to help do whatever was needed. So many things we did not think of, they took care of. I could not recommend this company, and Bridgette Gabby more!”

“Sweetwater Branch Inn (SWB) went above and BEYOND to make my wedding weekend everything I had dreamed of—and more. If I could give SWB a million out of five stars, I absolutely would! My wedding was on March 16, 2025, and originally planned as an outdoor event. The team at SWB was incredibly flexible, allowing me to get creative with the venue and hold the ceremony and dinner in a different location than they usually do which was impressive in itself! Just days before the wedding, a storm was predicted to hit. At the last minute, we ordered a tent for the gardens (something that had never been done before), completely reworked the layout we had spent over a year planning, and somehow, everything turned out perfectly! Adrienne, the event coordinator, and Angel, the food and beverage coordinator, were nothing short of incredible. Adrienne went above and beyond, dedicating extra time and effort to ensure my vision came to life, even with the last-minute changes. Every single member of the staff was truly wonderful. My close family stayed at the Inn and didn’t want to leave! Guests traveled from Canada, New York City, and even Sydney, Australia—and every single one of them raved about their stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the elegant decor and the delicious food (both at breakfast and the wedding!), they were beyond impressed. I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Branch Inn and the amazing event venue they provide. They do everything with heart, which is so rare these days—and that, above all, meant the world to me and my guests.”

Whether you’re looking to elope, for a small intimate sunset beach wedding on the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, a commitment ceremony, a ceremony at a large fancy venue, or anything in between, I can help create what you most desire for your day — a perfect, memorable celebration that you, your family, your wedding party, and your guests will truly enjoy. Nobody really wants to attend a wedding they’ve been to time and time again. They want to experience your story and your style in every aspect of your ceremony. That’s why I believe in creating a ceremony from a blank canvas and turn it into an extraordinary ceremony.

“Keith Carson Weddings provided exceptional communication throughout the wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to all our questions and provided thorough guidance every step of the way. Their officiating services were meaningful, beautiful, and truly captured the essence of our relationship. We are so grateful to have had Keith Carson Weddings as our wedding officiants and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a personalized, thoughtful ceremony.”
