Meet the Team
Brigid and Karen
Director of Marketing
Brigid is a Master Wedding Planner – one of 69 in the world. In the late 90's, she began teaching a class at U.C. on wedding planning. A local TV reporter did a story on her class mentioning the segment during an “Oprah” show commercial break. Brigid’s phone started ringing immediately, and a wedding planning business was born.
Karen is the manager of i-do Weddings & Events and handles daily communication with clients, vendors and creative partners. She has been planning weddings since 2003 when she began coordinating weddings with her mom at Summit Country Day School chapel.
