Meet Our Team
As we join you on your journey we become part of your story so we thought it would be helpful for you to know a little more about us all at Prodigal Connect
Sid Bridges: Co-Founder and Freelance Creative Celebrant
Sid is passionate about unique ceremonies and about creating an occasion that is a true reflection of your loved one, or who you are as a couple, depending on the occasion.
He embraces the more traditional through to the more ‘out there,’ so however you want the ceremony to be he’s dedicated to making the moment truly yours for you and those you love.
Sid takes a friendly yet professional approach to all the preparation and delivers a personable ceremony that reflects and honours the moment.
Deb Bridges: Co-Founder and Creative Writer
Deb loves stories and is fascinated by the tales all of our lives tell.
She writes life-stories that capture not only the life but the character of the one you love. Using the words you provide and the stories you tell Deb seeks to bring the story together in a way that truly honours your loved one.
She also loves to capture and re-tell love stories for weddings in a way that reflects you as a couple and how you came to be together.
She genuinely believes that words are the doorway to new worlds and hopes that the stories she writes will inspire you and your friends and family for generations to come.
Deb also coordinates and delivers our Grief Aware project and, where needed, seeks to offer support to you as you journey with your grief and begin to grieve.
Eve Bridges: Administrator
Eve takes on much of the admin for us. Her incredibly steady approach keeps us all on track and up-to-date with the more mundane but very necessary elements of running a business., she’s even willing to give the invoicing a go! Eve is also Chair of our Secret Santa committee.
Ani Bridges: Administrative Assistant
Ani is one of our admin assistants; she works wonders with the shredder and is on hand for creative projects that need that extra eye for detail. She picks up the admin jobs that need doing and shares the work load with the rest of the admin team to help ensure the business runs as smoothly as it can. Ani likes to make sure the team socials happen on a regular basis.
Ava Bridges: Administrative Assistant
Ava is one of our admin assistants; she works wonders with meeting notes and deciphering handwriting that’s hard to read to create templates for Deb and Sid to work from. She’s also on-hand, when our other social media expert isn’t available, for advice, ideas and the occasional post creation all of which keeps you more aware of what we do and goes towards ensuring you get the best possible service from us.
Ina Bridges: Photographer and Social Media
Ina is our company photographer and social media expert. She seeks to capture weddings (with the couple’s permission) on our behalf so that we can add images of the wedding ceremonies we do to our social media platforms and allow your moment to inspire others across our network. She also engages with various social media platforms to get word out about Grief Aware so that people can access the support they need.
Ina is also our resident artist and her creative talent and eye for aesthetics, not just with images but with all that we’re able to create, just brings more beauty to each moment.
Seth Bridges: Media Coordinator
Seth keeps the digital show on the road. He ensures the information on the website is up-to-date, that the images and videos are relevant (and actually load!) and that the links work! He also puts his skills to great use in editing our videos and designing our flyers, posters and business cards so that we can get word out there about what we do. Everything he does is done to ensure that you have easy access to all the information you need to make informed choices about your what you need from us and the options available to you.
