Bonjour! I’m Nancy

Nancy’s love of the French language began as a young girl and eventually brought her to France, where she received her MBA from INSEAD. She started her professional career on the corporate track before joining the world of event planning over 15 years ago. Since then, she has planned and produced hundreds of weddings, and her events have been featured in Vogue, Brides, WedLuxe, and Carats & Cake, to name a few. Today, Fête in France is one of France’s leading event planning agencies.

Nancy is based in Paris. When she isn’t planning weddings, she enjoys reading, traveling, and exploring Paris’ restaurant and cultural scene.

Diplomatic Guides | Innovative Designers | Organized Experts

French luxury is deeply rooted in tradition, taste, and the finer things in life. We approach your wedding with these same elements in mind.

  • As an American living and working in France for almost two decades, Nancy understands the nuances of both cultures, including varied customs and expectations. And she speaks both languages. So, you can trust us to communicate clearly with you and your vendors using their language of preference. And we will act as knowledgeable and diplomatic buffers—ensuring everyone is comfortable and on the same page.

  • Instead of designing based on a particular style or trend, we consider personal elements like style and story. Then, using our impeccable taste and eye for design, we will enhance your vision with awe-inspiring and meaningful details—to create the perfect blend of style, taste, and joie de vivre—for an event that is sure to impress and reflective of you. 

  • When it comes to live events, there are a number of unplanned things that can potentially happen. But none of them are a match for our expertise and forethought.

    Thanks to our more than 15 years of experience we have likely encountered, and successfully navigated, every possible problem or scenario. So you can count on us to consider every angle and have multiple plans in place. And thanks to our flexibility and knack for problem-solving you can be sure your celebration will run smoothly—  regardless of unexpected challenges.

Kind words

It was stress-free, very fun, and the cherry on top was having the most perfectly delivered wedding come to life. I knew Nancy knew what she was doing, but each day of the wedding weekend, everything exceeded our expectations.
