Meet Our Founder & CEO
Bridget Love
Hello there! I’m Bridget, an artist turned event producer and business owner.
Growing up in a big family, I was surrounded by food and big family meals. The door to our house was always open, with friends and neighbours wandering in for conversation and staying for long meals. The big sunny kitchen was the heart of the house and where we spent most of our time.
I spent the first part of my training and career as a classical flautist, which is when my first business, ‘tea with harmony’ started, where I’d bring afternoon tea complete with scones and cake into people’s backyards and then perform a set of music for them. Looking back at that first business, it set the stage for my future in gathering people in meaningful ways.
I then spent over a decade producing multitudes of events across Canada, ranging from a secret concert series in unexpected venues to large-scale public events for more than 250,000 people. From curating Nuit Blanche at the Aga Khan Museum to producing Canada150 for the City of Toronto, I became an expert in public events. But I had an entrepreneurial itch to start my own business and saw a gap that existed between the public arts sector and the corporate space. I thought there could be a chance to create well-paid opportunities for artists and chefs while helping companies improve their culture, build relationships, and host impactful events.
From sourcing the best produce for our ingredient kits, managing our small but mighty team, to working with clients to develop custom experiences that inspire their guests, I love creating purpose-driven gatherings that matter.
