The Most Perfect Day!

The most perfect day thanks to planning and Courtney was on point every step of the way. Not only that, we formed a lasting relationship and I would trust her with any future wedding planning. Professionalism with a Soul. Great Experience!

Our family used Courtney and La Belle Vie Weddings for my daughter's wedding in June. She took over the wedding two months prior to the ceremony.

The wedding was in Auburn, Alabama and the reception was in Opelika, Alabama. Ms. Bell worked both efficiently and effectively with both the church and reception venue. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge about ceremonies and receptions. She designed the venue floor layout to maximize use of space. She created a timeline which ensured all events occurred in a timely manner in accordance with the bride & groom's wishes. This was our first family wedding and we had not one clue what we were doing. With Ms. Bell's help - it went off without a hitch. To make it a bit more challenging, our family was out of country and unreachable for 17 days shortly before the wedding. We didn't return home until 10 days before the wedding. We left town without worry, confident Ms. Bell would handle any issue that arose in our absence. And she did. Last but certainly, not the least, Ms. Bell is a delight to work with. Her joy in her work is infectious. We have two more daughters. When they decide to get married - Ms. Bell will be the first phone call we make!

HIGHLY recommend using La Belle Vie!!!

Courtney and the entire La Belle Vie team are amazing to work with and I couldn't recommend them enough!! Courtney was the most attentive planner I could've wished for and truly listened to each and every request and made my dream wedding come to life!! She offered her expertise and was so knowledgable in each and every aspect of the planning, but she also valued my opinion throughout the process and allowed me to have the creative freedom while guiding me in the right direction / making suggestions based on all of her experience. This team is exactly what I was looking for in a wedding planner and I could go on-and-on about how great they were!! Highly recommend using La Belle Vie for all your wedding planning needs.

Best money spent!

If you are torn about where to spend your money, spend it on a good wedding planner. It is 100% worth it. And that good wedding planner is Courtney Bell with La Belle Vie. She took away all the stress and handled everything in a professional yet friendly way. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. She accommodates based on your wants/needs and provides you with as much or as little information as you want. She is very knowledgeable in the area of venues and all things wedding. But most importantly, on the big day, I trusted her to make it all happen. On our wedding day, I never once got stressed or had to do anything. I was able to relax and thoroughly take in the moments and enjoy the day with my people. Hopefully I won’t ever need her to plan a wedding for me again….😜 but if I did, I would 100% hire Courtney.

So thankful for an amazing wedding planner!

I am so happy and so very THANKFUL that I chose to work with Courtney at La Belle Vie Weddings to plan my wedding day!! As a designer myself, came to the table with a vision on what I wanted my wedding day and many of the details to be like – and that called for some serious brainstorming and planning! Courtney was up for the challenge and worked with me throughout the whole process to find the right vendors and get everything in order. I know there are phone calls she made and errands she ran that I still don’t know about to this day – and I am forever grateful for her help in pulling off such a joyful event. The day of my wedding she ensured that I was able to be 100% present and in-the-moment because she had a handle on everything else. I would recommend Courtney to any bride who is looking for an incredibly kind, dedicated planner and someone you can trust with your big day!

Wedding planning was NOT stressful because of Courtney!

From the start I instantly connected with Courtney. I started my wedding planning process from out of town and she was there with me throughout the entire process. She was always available via text, super organized, and would go to vendor meetings with me if my fiancé or mom couldn’t come (because who wants to go to a cake tasting alone!?). Speaking of vendors, Courtney has worked with the best of them and had the best recommendations for us. We ended up with an all star lineup of vendors. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Courtney made my reception vision come to life, it was everything I hoped for and more. Last but not least, her pricing is extremely competitive, and it was worth every single penny. Courtney is kind, personable, organized, and hilarious - I would recommend her to all of my family and friends without hesitation!
