• 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

Destination Wedding: Vero Beach, Miami’s Version of the Hamptons

You know I am always on the lookout for great destination wedding spots. Enter the Treasure Coast of Florida and you’ll find an oceanfront barrier island in Vero Beach. MSNBC dubbed it “Miami’s version of the Hamptons” because of the island’s exclusivity (i.e. $14 million + homes up the wazoo) coupled with its hometown charm. Had a wonderful stay at Emilio and Gloria Estefan’s Hotel, Coste d’ Este, where the vibe was so so haute:

Another one of my favorite stops was The Caribbean Court Boutique Hotel, maybe I’m partial because I am from the beautiful Caribbean island of Haiti, but there was something so authentic and endearing about this place. Was it because Boris, the owner, served me the best vichyssoise (chilled Potato and Leek Soup) I have ever had? Was it the sexy Havana Nights piano bar? Or was it the courtyard that reminded me of Italy? All I know is that I really like the place.

There are tons of things to do and places to visit in the area, like the lush McKee Botanical Gardens or the various activities on the Indian River.

Will return. Hit me up to talk weddings in Vero Beach.
