Fête in France: Elevating Wedding Dreams

In the enchanting realm of weddings, where dreams are intricately woven into the tapestry of reality, Fête in France stands as a beacon of elegance, passion, and unforgettable memories. With over 15 years under its belt, this premier wedding planning service, founded by an American visionary who traded the corporate ladder for the charming streets of Paris, has become synonymous with the art of creating magical celebrations. As we delve into the story of Fête in France, we uncover the essence of what makes their weddings a testament to love and beauty, all through the eyes and heart of its founder.

A Leap of Faith into Love’s Embrace

The journey began over 18 years ago when the founder decided to call Paris her home, transitioning from a successful corporate career to pursuing a passion that had long been whispering to her soul. “I'm originally from the US, but I've been fortunate to call Paris home for more than 18 years. As an American in Paris, and a corporate ladder climber turned entrepreneur, I love the duality of living in English and French and doing work that requires creativity and business acumen. After more than 15 years in the wedding industry, I'm still as excited as I was in the beginning about what I do,” she recalls. This leap of faith was not just about changing careers; it was about embracing a life where love, creativity, and business acumen intertwine seamlessly.

The Philosophy Behind the Magic

“It's important to talk about the budget from the very beginning of the planning process. I find that it's helpful to share sample budgets early in the conversation, but always provide the context that a couple's vision and preferences greatly influence what the final budget would be. In short, you can either stick to the budget or stick to the vision!”

Fête in France is more than just a wedding planning service; it's a promise of a journey filled with joy, creativity, and unparalleled elegance. “Our philosophy is simple yet profound: Tastefully designed, Expertly planned, Flawlessly produced.” This mantra is the cornerstone of their success, guiding them as they create bespoke experiences that reflect the unique essence of each couple. “We specialize in the design, planning, and production of multiday destination weddings in France and beyond,” the founder elaborates, highlighting the breadth of their expertise and the depth of their dedication.

Crafting Dreams into Reality

“I love accompanying couples on their planning journey and creating memories for them, their families, and friends. There's an immense joy in seeing the vision come to life on the days of the events.”

The services offered by Fête in France are as diverse and beautiful as the couples they serve. From comprehensive packages to custom-tailored experiences, the goal remains the same: to make every wedding a reflection of the couple's love story. “Communication and collaboration are key parts of our process. I appreciate when the couple comes to the table with ideas and preferences, but is also open-minded to see where the planning journey takes us,” Nancy LaTart states, emphasizing the importance of a harmonious partnership in bringing dreams to life.

Memorable Moments in the City of Lights

When asked about a wedding that stands out in her memory, the founder fondly recalls the planning of a wedding at the Paris Opera House. “I've been fortunate to plan weddings in many exceptional venues so it's hard to pick just one as being the most memorable. But a definite highlight of my career so far was planning a wedding at the Paris Opera House.” This event, like all the weddings they've planned, is a testament to Fête in France's ability to create not just events, but experiences that stay with the couple, their families, and their guests forever.

Overcoming Challenges with Grace

The journey hasn't been without its challenges, especially with the advent of COVID-19. “Navigating COVID-19 postponements was a huge challenge,” she admits. However, through resilience and adaptability, Fête in France developed processes to manage these hurdles, ensuring that love remained the focal point, even in times of uncertainty.

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Fête in France continues to be driven by a passion for creating magical wedding experiences that are as unique as the love stories they celebrate. “Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, so having the support of an experienced wedding planner can lighten the load,” the founder advises couples embarking on this beautiful journey.
