• 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

Historia de un Amor

My childhood Saturday mornings included sounds of Eydie Gormé y Los Panchos loudly playing, me asking my mom for apple pancakes and my father nearby reading the paper (occasionally belting out parts of the canción). Wonderful memories and a wonderful introduction to the beauty of music. I loved Bolero because I could feel what they were singing, even if I didn’t understand the words. Then when I learned Spanish, I was like, “dang, that’s some serious heartache” or “dang, that’s some deep love.” I would not be surprised if these love songs planted the wedding planner seed in me. And all that time they thought they were grooming a mini-Matlock. Ha ha.

P.S. Maya Angelou once told me that “good music is good music, irrespective of the genre or language, because it’s from the heart and we have the same heart.” Wise woman. Anyhow, gotta run. Time to make some pancakes for my family and play my Eydie Gormé y Los Panchos album. Miss you dearly Dad.
