• Welcome to the blog of Luxe Fête Event Planning and Design Studio. My name is Nathalie Cadet-James and I am an event planner and designer. This blog is a place where you can connect with me, check out my latest projects and designs, and hopefully be inspired to create your dream wedding or event. I love designing and planning magical events. Before channeling my creative energy into this field, I was an attorney at top law firms and clerked for a Federal Judge. It did not take long to realize I’d rather be telling stories by transforming spaces and creating beautiful atmospheres. I am fortunate to be considered an "industry innovator" and “event guru” because of my unique and fresh design approach. You can find our work featured in many of today’s premier design and bridal publications. I proudly call the Magic City of Miami my home as well as my inspiration. The Miami of today offers far more than just sun and fun. Miami is truly a world class destination, rich with history, culture, food, music and philanthropy. I am honored to serve on the Executive Committee of Friends of the New World Symphony and the Overtown Music Project. Thanks for stopping by, I'd love to hear from you! And yes, we happily travel anywhere in the world. - Nat

Must See Father Daughter Dance

This is a super cute father and daughter dance. It reminds me of how happy my father was during our special moment. At one point my dad did some sort of impromptu dance split. We danced to the song I was named after, Nathalie by Gilbert Bécaud, one of his favorites. I miss him so much...

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Time for me to dig up my old Roberta Flack record. This song is forever beautiful. I think I am going to have it playing softly in the background for my next couple’s first look photo shoot. Yeah.

A Very Sweet Love Song – Fly Love

How is this the first time I am hearing this love song? Sweetness. Just pure sweetness. It’s from the movie Rio and it is written by Carlinhos Brown. Based on my small collection of Brazilian music, it is very clear that every song Brown touches is magic. The first version is in English sung by...
