The desire to gather and celebrate special occasions over food and drinks is a concept that has fascinated Belle throughout her entire hospitality career, which started at the age of 17. Originally from Williamsburg, Virginia, Belle has called Nashville home for nearly a decade, during which she has executed events for Marsh House and Killebrew Coffee at The Thompson Hotel Nashville and Germantown’s beloved restaurant, 5th & Taylor.
Belle draws inspiration from Music City’s electric energy and her artistic background to create warm, beautiful, memorable events that cater to the individual tastes and personalities of each couple she meets. For her, there is no greater sense of achievement than seeing a bride and groom enjoying themselves on their wedding day—eating, laughing and dancing the night away with their wedding guests in a beautiful setting without a care in the world.
When she’s not chatting through timelines with excited couples or crafting the perfect menu with Executive Chef Kristin Beringson in Henley, you can find her making flower crowns, creating ceramic art in her home studio or spending time with her husband of more than seven years, their daughter, and their pitbull-boxer mix, Freya, and tiny black cat, Leto.
