After remembering the passion and thoughtfulness of working with Belle many years ago during my sister’s wedding, I knew when I got engaged that I would not go anywhere else for my...
turn. My experience at the Boutique by B.Belle was so much more than finding a dress — it was about experiencing this important time with someone you were meant to experience it with. From the moment I walked in, I felt an instant connection and sense of comfort that’s hard to put into words. Finding the most amazing dress was made even more special by Belle’s passion for helping brides. You can feel that it is a true calling. Her kindness, intuition, and genuine care made me feel seen, understood, and supported in such a beautiful way. This experience reminded me that some moments and some people are simply meant to find you. I will carry this memory in my heart forever along with a dress so amazing I could never have designed anything more perfect myself. Belle not only shines through what she does, but truly gets to know you as a person! No place or experience could ever compare.

I am still in awe of the stunning wedding dress I found at Belle’s Boutique. My husband introduced me to the owner and immediately I felt that connection....
My bonus mom and my sister was with me, we were served champagne and small bites to eat. After several fittings, with Belle’s patience, the dress she recommended was absolutely perfect. It captured my style and personality flawlessly. But what truly made my experience exceptional was the thoughtfulness and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen and heard, and she worked tirelessly to ensure I found the dress of my dreams. We were on a tight budget but Belle’s attention to detail, expertise, and warm hospitality made the entire process a joy. I'm so grateful to have found The Boutique by Belle, and I would highly recommend them to any bride-to-be. Thank you, Belle, for helping me feel like the best version of myself on my special day!"
I had an amazing experience with Belle. She is so thoughtful and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. She took the time to ask about the details of my wedding to mak...
e sure I found a dress that fit both my personal style and vision for the day. Thanks to her, I found the perfect dress that I feel comfortable and completely myself in. I can't recommend her enough for anyone looking for a truly personalized experience.
My experience at The Boutique was second to none. I went in not knowing what to expect, what type of dress I wanted, or knowing if I would find something or not. I was blown away b...
y the experience and with Belle’s expertise, was guided to find the most perfect dress for my wedding day. She made me and my family feel so comfortable throughout the appointment, and even though I was anxious going in, her presence quickly calmed & made me assured I was in good hands! Cannot recommend her enough. So grateful for Belle and her expertise, hospitality and care!
Belle did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and confident in finding my dress. She stayed within our budget and made sure to select dresses based off of my likes/dislikes ...
as well as brought me out of my comfort zone. I’m so grateful to have found my dress through her!
The experience was amazing. Belle was so sweet and listened to what I was looking for in my dress. She asked about the venue and what my ideas for the wedding were and pulled dress...
es that matched that vibe. I had gone there for one specific dress I had seen online and fell in love with, but I left with a completely different dress after she was honest about the fit and comfort of it.
I had such a wonderful experience with Belle! Her attention to detail is truly unmatched and she makes it a point to get to know the bride and the wedding vision before pulling dre...
sses. She truly cares about the bride and she made sure I found a dress that I felt confident and like myself in. I went to a couple bridal shops in Columbus but if I had to do it over again I would only go here- the experience was perfect. I felt like royalty and ended up with my dream dress!
Okay, so the shop was fabulous, I found the PERFECT dress, and everyone I brought loved it; but let me just tell you... BELLE... Herself!? Absolutely AMAZING. She was so thoughtful...
in the process and wanted to know all the little details. She boosted my ego 1000% and truly made this a once in a lifetime experience. My sister is also getting married and we had gone to a different bridal shop for her a few months back. The experience was great, don't get me wrong, but Belle just makes the experience so much more personal! Every inch of my wedding is personal to me and my fiance so this was just a continuation of that.
So long story short, thank you Belle for the WONDERFUL experience that I will never forget and 10 out of 10, would recommend.
Belle is absolutely amazing. You truly feel like the most beautiful bride when you’re in her shop. Dress shopping can be overwhelming but Belle sits down and spends time with you. ...
She gets to know your personality, your style, and your dream dress and embodies it in every dress she picks out. She helped me pick my dress after just 5. I only went to her shop and couldn’t be happier. Every time I see her I feel like I am visiting my very best friend. I highly recommend her.
Had a great time finding my dress! Stress-free environment!
Y’all… I had an extraordinary day. I found my wedding dress and boy do I have a story for you.
If you’re getting married and are looking for a dress, go to The Boutique by B.Bell...
e Events. I was FLOORED by the customer service and the kindness. So much so that I will legitimately never recommend any other place for wedding gowns. It is a tragedy I didn’t catch the name of the lovely woman who helped us but wow.. u have never met a kinder soul. I’m speechless. Truly. I was treated like royalty. And this woman is INCREDIBLE at her job. I truly felt like she was a best friend. I will never forget this day thanks to her. She asked me so many questions and she hit the nail on the head with the very first dress she pulled! Nothing could top it.
It’s so hard to even begin to find the words to describe how wonderful my experience was. Please if you are looking for a wedding gown I BEG you to try this place. You will not regret it.
Thank you to the beautiful woman who helped us today ❤️

totally above and beyond. She sat down with us, got to know me, and picked out the perfect dress for me. The dress was exactly what I envisioned for my wedding day! Belle is so knowledgeable, fashionable, and thought of every single detail. She makes you feel like you are the only bride in the world! And she was great to answer every question I had about the cleaning and alteration process. Words don’t carry the weight of how great my experience was! It was 10/10. I will forever recommend this boutique!!
I loved loved loved my experience at The Boutique by B. Belle Events! Mindy was my consultant with Heather helping out as well. They were the BEST I’ve ever worked with! I went to ...
other boutiques trying to find the perfect dress and the service I received at other places was not even comparable to the amazing time I had at this boutique! I’m not local to the area and they worked around my schedule perfectly, even finding me an appointment at the very last minute on a Saturday. I would 1000% recommend this to any other brides, local to the area or not!
Belle made everything perfect. She was concerned with my vision as well piecing that together perfectly with her expertise and experience. The whole process was simply easy from be...
ginning until the “yes” to the dress. I would highly recommend this boutique for an amazing experience and also a beautiful gown from some amazing designers they stock.
The best place I could’ve chosen for my first dress shopping experience.

I walked in Belles boutique and I automatically found the dress that I WANTED on a mannequin. Mindy had me try on 5 dresses before I tried that special one on to make sure I didn’t...
like the other silhouettes as much. Let me tell you it was worth the wait!! It was absolutely the one. The others were gorgeous, just not the vibe I envisioned. I walked out and everyone knew this was the one. We quickly said YES to the dress. This was the most magical experience. They made me feel like a queen the second I walked in the door. Not once did they make me feel less than a million bucks. I will only recommend this boutique! I promise you won’t feel as important anywhere else!
10/10 experience!! From the moment we walked in, I KNEW I was going to find my dress. Belle sat us all down, asked me to explain the general vibe I was looking for, what styles I l...
iked, what was of most importance when looking for dresses, and a few other questions. She browsed my Pinterest board and explained my style choices. She repeated back to me everything I said and she listened to EVERYTHING I said. She and Rebecca went browsing for dresses and came back with about 10 dresses. I loved that she tries to keep it to 10-15 dresses max so I didn’t get overwhelmed or forget what dresses I had already tried. The very first dress I tried on was THE DRESS. We tried on about 5 more dresses to make sure it was the one I liked best. She eliminated dresses that she had picked to reflect my comments as we went along. She and Rebecca gave us their undivided attention the whole afternoon, and truly made me feel special.
Belle’s attention to detail is amazing. She asked me some questions about my wedding day and asked about me and my fiancé and was able to find my dress after 4 try-ons. One thing I...
absolutely loved is that she made sure everything was a surprise. This helped me envision myself walking down the aisle and it made the experience so much more magical. Belle connected with everyone who came with me and is just the absolute sweetest person. I’m so glad I decided to go to Belle’s and I recommend everyone to at least try them out.
I had the best experience one could possibly dream of with Belle and Mindy. Belle listened to every concern & dream I had of my perfect dress, and was able to put my dream into rea...
lity! I visited Belle’s boutique with the intent of “just looking”, however, when I put the final dress on we all knew it was THE ONE 😍🥰 I could go on and on with so many positive things to say, but I’ll leave it at this… EVERY bride must experience The Boutique by Belle, there is nothing equivalent to her establishments customer service. Thank you Belle and Mindy for making yesterday so memorable 💜💜💜
My experience at The Boutique by B.Belle was exactly what everyone should experience while looking for their wedding dress. I think a great term for Belle would be a "dress fairy" ...
as she truly is amazing at what she does! She made the whole process feel magical yet comfortable. She took all of my feedback to help find my DREAM dress. This will forever be one of my most favorite memories from the entire wedding planning process. I cannot recommend enough that you go here! We love you, Boutique by B. Belle!

is shop and Belle specifically if you're unsure or having a problem finding what you need, she's basically the dress whisperer.
This was by far the best experience I had trying on wedding gowns. I am a size 16 and trouble finding dresses in the silhouette I wanted at other stores. B. Belle had exactly what ...
I wanted. Her knowledge of gowns and style was unparalleled. She worked with me and made me feel incredible. She is meticulous and knows exactly how pin and clamp gowns to illustrate exactly how they will look on you. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I’d give her 10 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Belle is absolutely amazing! She took time to get to know me as a bride, was sensitive to my body insecurties, and was not pushy at all. She was overly accommodating to my famil...

I had the pleasure of finding my wedding dress and veil at the new and amazing location of B.Belle Boutique. I worked with Courtney to find my dress but Belle, Mindy, and the rest ...
of the store associates all worked together to make it a what-bridal-dreams-are-made-of experience. Courtney listened to my ideas, let me try different styles while gently maintaining control so I wasn't overwhelmed with options, and made sure I felt comfortable and beautiful in the process. I will forever remember and be grateful that I said "yes" to a dress surrounded by my mother, great friends, and the wonderful staff at B.Belle!
Belle is excellent. I could not recommend her more. She is the sweetest. I said yes to the most beautiful dress. She asks a variety of questions and hand-picks the dresses that fit...
your style, venue, and overall look for the wedding. She is PHENOMENAL and I am so glad I was able to shop locally.
My daughter said yes to the perfect dress today and Belle was wonderful, she took the time to listen to what my daughter wanted and asked questions to determine the vision my daugh...
ter had for her wedding, Belle pulled several different dresses and all were beautiful but my daughter said yes to the dress that reflected her personality and her vision. I can't thank you enough Belle, you exceeded our expectations, a chain bridal shop can not do what Belle did. We had looked at different bridal shops and had never experienced what we did today, Belle is so good at her job and her enthusiasm really shows that she enjoys her job. I can't thank you enough for helping my daughter make her day even better. I would recommend this shop and Belle to everyone, you will not be disappointed.
Couldn’t have asked for a better dress shopping experience.
The Boutique by B.Belle Events was absolutely amazing today. I had a wonderful experience and fell in love with my dress. I would highly recommend any bride to go there to find you...
r Dream Dress . They are super friendly and are willing to help you find your right fit. They don’t make you feel rushed or anything. 💍👰🏻
We had the BEST experience at this boutique today! They are so personal and truly care about finding the right dress for you!
We had a wonderful experience! The staff was very welcoming and professional. They helped my daughter find her perfect dress!
My experience with Belle and B. Belle Events was life-changing. I met Belle when I got my wedding dress at her boutique, and from there we decided she should be our wedding planner...
. She is a true professional but also a true friend. She is unbelievably creative and driven, seeking to make each of her events the best she has ever done. She spent tons of time with me to talk about what I wanted and made feel like I always had her complete attention. She made my wedding gorgeous beyond my wildest dreams— a true fairy tale. Additionally, her staff are wonderful, competent people with kind hearts. B. Belle Events will be doing all of my family weddings for many many years to come. Belle is more than a wedding planner, she is family now. If B. Belle Events does your wedding, you will end up with something that you just can’t find elsewhere in West Virginia!
An experience like in the movies. From our first meeting at a bridal expo in Charleston, WV to making an appointment in the store. Showing up to be greeted with such enthusiasm and...
excitement knowing they were going to find THE dress for me allowed me to put so much trust and hope in this one of a kind boutique. As we sipped our mimosas, we discussed my personal style likes/dislikes. Belle and her staff were so pleasant and professional to work with. Very conscious of staying within my budget. She chose 4/5 dresses for me to try on and by the 2nd dress I had found THE one. I walked out of the store that day feeling like a beautiful bride to be and can not wait to marry my best friend. Thank you B.Belle Boutique for such a wonderful experience.
My granddaughter’s amazing wedding just happened because of this wonderful, talented, and very kind soul named “Belle” who put her all into making the day absolutely unforgettable!...
None of us had any idea just how incredibly beautiful and perfect it would be with so many special details. Nothing was overlooked. As a minister I have taken part in many weddings over the past forty years, but this one was just so special that it’s beyond description. Everything was thought through and executed perfectly by someone who had the unique ability to carry out overwhelming tasks while putting everyone else at ease. This was truly a flawless and picture perfect event that not only showed Belle’s superior professional ability but there was also a special touch of extra caring in everything she did! Belle and her wonderful team made this day for our granddaughter and fiancée, our family and all of our guests a true storybook event! WE LOVE YOU, BELLE!

Had an amazing experience and also got the dress of my dreams ! They are amazing ! ❤️
Absolutely amazing! Great staff and service! Would recommend this boutique to any bride to be!
Absolutely wonderful experience from the minute I walked in the door. I had the “this is the dress” moment, and Belle and her girls helped me enjoy every second.
She was AMAZING! This was so much more than expected. The space was great and felt like a big city boutique, but still a personal touch.
