Weddings aren’t just beautifully styled events they’re deeply personal chapters in a family’s story. For many brides, the journey to the aisle begins with someone who knows them best. And sometimes, that journey sparks a whole new path.
That’s exactly what happened with Kristin Butler, who planned her own wedding while working full-time as a high school teacher and cheer coach. What began as a personal project quickly evolved into a professional calling. Today, she’s the visionary behind Fabulous Fête, a premier name in Dallas luxury wedding planning.
The Unexpected Path to Fabulous Fête
Long before Fabulous Fête became synonymous with timeless, elegant weddings in Dallas, Kristin was someone who simply cared about creating meaningful moments. After planning her own wedding—without a planner—guests were so impressed they encouraged her to do it professionally.
She took the leap, balancing teaching with weekend events until the demand became undeniable. Her natural eye for design, paired with a heart for service, laid the foundation for what would grow into one of Dallas’s premier full-service wedding planning firms.
Designing Weddings That Feel as Good as They Look
At the heart of Fabulous Fête’s philosophy is a commitment to both aesthetics and emotion. Kristin understands that a luxury wedding isn’t just about how it photographs it’s about how it feels. Her team designs events that are visually stunning, yes—but also deeply personal, thoughtfully executed, and stress-free for the couple and their families.
From vendor selection to day-of logistics, her white-glove planning approach ensures no detail goes overlooked. Whether orchestrating multi-day celebrations or intimate affairs, Fabulous Fête’s events are known for their seamless flow, signature style, and heartfelt touches.
A White-Glove Experience That Feels Like Family
The Fabulous Fête team is more than a group of planners—they're a family. Kristin has built a team culture centered on kindness, positive energy, and service. While none of her team members started with formal planning experience, they were all handpicked for their dedication, warmth, and attitude.
This sense of trust and collaboration doesn’t just stay behind the scenes—it radiates through the planning process and into the wedding day itself, creating a calm, supportive environment for everyone involved.
Ask 10 planners to define full-service, and you’ll get 10 different answers. For Kristin, it means being there from the very beginning: offering guidance, managing logistics, designing the visual experience, and ensuring the entire process is smooth.
At Fabulous Fête, full-service means concierge-level care, trusted vendor relationships, and a team that truly becomes part of the couple’s inner circle.
Philosophy Meets Practicality
Kristin’s planning style is grounded in a mix of empathy and experience. She believes in being kind and adaptable, while also knowing how to deliver an unforgettable celebration. With years of weddings behind her, she understands what works—and what doesn’t—cutting through trends to focus on timeless moments that resonate.
