Lea-Ann Belter Bridal

My experience with Lea-Ann Belter Bridal was fantastic! From my first visit (where I had absolutely no idea what I wanted) until my third when I finally made up my mind, Vanessa was patient, honest and incredibly helpful. Being able to pick and choose from all of the skirt/top options meant that I could finally get the fit I was looking for at other stores but couldn't seem to find. Vanessa though of every detail and was meticulous during the alterations appointments to ensure that I'd have the perfect fit. I went to three other stores before buying my dress at Lea-Ann and I'd encourage anyone who's looking for a wedding dress to make an appointment - you really can't beat the warmth, workmanship and quality.

I don't even know where to start. I spent so long looking for my wedding dress with no luck until I stumbled upon Lea-Anne Belter. I shared my likes and dislikes for my wedding dress with Vanessa, the bridal consultant who she was able to pick out the most perfect dress for me (it even had a slit and pockets!). I was in good hands with Vanessa, who was extremely kind, knowledgeable and experienced.The alterations and veil were done in house which was lifesaving given that I found the dress less than 6 months before the wedding.I can't recommend Lea-Anne Belter enough - it was truly an amazing stress-free experience where I felt like a princess!

Lea-Ann Belter Bridal just gets it. Their staff aren't rushing you and they are genuinely invested in your experience. When you work with them, wedding dress shopping gets to be the positive, personalized, exciting experience it is supposed to be. They have a great selection of gowns.My sister found the perfect dress here recently, and Vanessa (staff) helped make the process seamless and stress free.Other major name Bridal stores in Toronto left my sister feeling rushed and honestly, in some interactions, disrespected. There were comments on pricing, pressure on timeframes, and staff didn't even get her name right, multiple times...it's not a difficult name. Details like this can really take from the experience and leave you feeling as though you're just a sale.It was breath of fresh air for her to come to Lea-Ann Belter Bridal and work with actual human beings. Brides are not just another transaction here. I am so grateful for caring businesses like this that I wanted to write this review to support the wonderful work they are doing. Thank you for your work, and for helping her wedding dress shopping experience be a positive one.

I shopped around quite a bit for my dress and had the BEST experience with Lea-Ann Belter. Vanessa was an absolute dream to work with. I loved the options for customization, and the quality of fabrics and workmanship was exceptional. The fact that the dresses are made to your measurements and all alterations are included in the price was wonderful, and I loved the fact that the dresses are made locally in Toronto. We took elements from 2 different dresses to create something unique and it came together perfectly. I felt so beautiful, so comfortable and so “me” on my wedding day. Could not have asked for anything better. You will not regret working with this amazing team for your wedding day look.

I was so honoured to be a Lea-Ann Belter bride and I could not have had a better experience! I visited 5 bridal salons across Toronto and had hands-down the best experience at Lea-Ann Belter. Vanessa, the bridal consultant, was so knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I looked forward to every appointment I had! I was able to create a custom gown combined from two of the in-store gowns, embellish it exactly how I wanted, and was able to include my Mom's bow from her 1990 wedding dress, which they handled so carefully and it looks like it was made for the gown! I had 5 fittings with them to get the perfect fit, and was able to tweak every element of the dress, including adding pockets, to create exactly what I had envisioned. They provided the sweetest goodie bag for becoming an LBB bride, and the dress was arranged so well for my travel to the wedding out of town. They also included extra Swarovski crystals to replace any that got damaged during the day. The pricing was the best I've seen across bridal salons and it means so much to me that the dresses are created locally in Toronto. With so many beautiful and unique off-the rack gowns, and the ability to customize anything, I have no doubt that every bride can find her dream dress here. Plus you'll have the best, most uplifting, experience ever!

Purchased my Lea-Ann Belter dress and veil through Jessica Hayley in Rye, NY. My dress was purchased in February 2022 and arrived without issue in June 2022. My wedding was late August 2022 so I had no issues getting alterations. My veil was ordered in June 2022 and arrived less than 2 months later. The dress was stunning and made my own through the customizations by the designer. I am so happy with how everything turned out and am incredibly grateful to this store that everything arrived on time without issue.

I absolutely love this boutique. All dresses are handmade in Toronto, they are timeless elegant pieces with the best fabric and textiles. The dresses are spectacular.. but even better than that are the staff, especially Vanessa. She helped me find my dress. Vanessa has the ability to use her creativity to bring your dream dress to life. She is so helpful, thoughtful, generous, and attentive to your preferences. There were various things I liked from different dresses. In the end, we put them all together to make my dress... something I never would have thought of!Vanessa is attentive and she asked me questions that helped me realize what I was looking for in my dress.To make my dress especially unique, Vanessa suggested a lace bolero and it was the cherry on top. My veil was magnificent. It was all that I wanted- long and elegant with tiny hand made flowers.Once the pandemic hit, I was also given a customized mask to compliment the rest of my dress.It was such a memorable and delightful experience. When we found my dress, Vanessa brought out the champagne to celebrate. She is also a great photographer- took many flattering and keepsake photos of me in my dress, surrounded by my group that helped me find my dress!!Vanessa advised a few fittings before the wedding- just to ensure that everything was perfect. I appreciated that.This was such a great experience and recommend this boutique to any future brides!

I had such an amazing experience at Lea-Ann Belter in Toronto that I was able to pick my dress in my first and only appointment at a bridal store!The store takes only one appointment at a time, which gives the bride & her party privacy and space to try different styles without feeling rushed. Vanessa (Bridal Specialist) is genuinely invested in helping you find the dress that feels right for you. Throughout the appointment she helped guide me through all the different silhouettes and styles they had to offer and helped me get a good idea of what I liked and didn't.I had 4 fittings in the month leading up to the wedding and my dress turned out perfectly - I felt beautiful and comfortable.

Amazing experience choosing my wedding dress at Lea-Ann Belter in Toronto! The shop is all yours to try on dresses with privacy during your appointment and there's never a feeling of being rushed. Vanessa (Bridal Specialist) is an expert at what she does and is genuinely invested in helping you find the dress that feels right for you. This shop is leaps and bounds above other bridal stores in terms of customer service and shopping experience. There are plenty of styles to choose from as well. Look no further!

Not enough words to describe how amazing my experience was at Leaann Belter Bridal! Vanessa is incredible! From the moment I met her, I was confident that she and the team would make my dream dress into a reality. Vanessa was so detailed, patient and SO easy to work with. Even with the pandemic, I very much enjoyed the entire wedding process, and Vanessa is one of the reasons for that. I love that at LBB, they have the ability to customize designs. They use the most luxurious lace and fabrics, and all the dresses are created right at their flagship store in Toronto. Thank you to Vanessa, Leaann and the entire team!
