Hire Naomi today!
Naomi has been a business owner since 1988, producing over 350 events, including trade shows, conferences, and specializing in consumer trade shows. President of her company, Bridal Shows, Inc. (www.bridalshowsinc.com), she owns and produces the Dallas Bridal Show™ (twice each year since 1990), Fort Worth Bridal Show™ (since 1998), and the Plano Bridal Show™ (twice each year since 1990).
She had trained her team how to manage the shows on-site if she ever had to be gone. This thorough training proved to be a life saver when a shocking life and death cancer diagnosis stopped her in her tracks October of 2018. Her team stepped up and handled the shows while Naomi was running the business from bed many times since then. Not ever wanting to retire, Naomi never dreamed she would have to take a back seat the way everything played out.
Fighting for her life with Cancer #1 & #2, and navigating #3 as well. Naomi pushes through every day with the side effects from surgeries and LOTS of treatments. Life threw some curveballs, but Naomi has thrown that ball back many times now since that first diagnosis dealing with a very rare ongoing metastatic cancer, Stage IV, in her blood and lymph nodes.
Staying positive with ATTITUDE, GRATITUDE, and a Can-Do MINDSET through this unique journey has made a HUGE difference in surviving each diagnosis and the treatments that she has endured, REALLY LIVING her life in the Middle of the Stuff!
She is currently writing her second book, "Attitude and Gratitude: From Adversity to RESILIENCE!” about her miraculous journey.
She hasn't written the first book yet (smiley face)--read on to find out why.
Naomi was so excited in March of 2023 to be back out there, networking again and Really Living Life Fully! She had to be in a bubble for so many years, and she was determined to get out of that bubble.
Naomi has motivated thousands of people in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex during her many years in business, including speaking to groups since 2003 through her Exhibiting 101®️ Workshops. Whether it is companies in the home improvement industry (because of the home improvement show that she owned from 1990 and sold in 1998), the wedding industry, and others, she gives them IDEAS and LOTS of VALUABLE information so that everyone knows how to get real results from exhibiting in shows.
From reliable sources, she has been told that she is the only show producer in the nation that opens up her local four-hour Exhibiting 101®️ Workshops to all companies (www.exhibiting101.com), even those that are not an exhibitor in her shows. Caring about others in building their business has been her goal since the beginning. Naomi also teaches ROR---Return on Relationships---for all businesses, and presents a fun communication exercise in her Workshops. Her attendees love the direct networking opportunities. They also appreciate how she gives of her time and expertise so they can know how to profit from shows, allowing them to take a vacation and spend time with their family.
"Exhibiting 101®️ Getting Real Results from Consumer Shows" is the first book that Naomi is currently writing, and from 37 years of being an expert in her field. Every year, she comes up with new ideas along with ideas from workshop attendees, so the book had been postponed. Some day she will complete the book and an online class as well.
One of the many testimonials she has received from Workshop attendees: "Wow! Words cannot explain the experience I had at the Exhibiting 101®️ Workshop. I learned so much from Naomi! Having an industry leader providing educational information on trade shows is amazing! I feel like I have so many new ideas for how to present my company. I recommend this course to anyone! Five Stars all the way!" (Workshop attendee June , 2023)
After fighting for her life with Cancer #1, and during the year of Covid, Naomi felt led to set up her Youtube channel, The Naomi Butler Show, to give hope and encouragement to others. There are many playlists now, including videos about cancer, inspiration and motivation, business, book reviews, art and painting, playing the piano, fashion fun finds, cooking healthier recipes, and more. As you can tell by the many different playlists, Naomi enjoys life and everything she does!
When Cancer #2 happened in 2020, yes, the year of Covid!, while fighting for her life AGAIN, Naomi reminded God that "We set up the Youtube channel to encourage others, and we have to keep this going!" Her faith is so much stronger than it was pre-cancer. Naomi knows God has been right by her side every step of the way, giving her strength and a peace that she cannot explain. She has inspired so many since October 2018 to stay strong and not give up. Imagine how it would feel if you don't give up! Imagine what would happen! She is living proof that not giving up works!
With Naomi's background in business and a Can-do Mindset, it has motivated her to encourage others even more. She gets her audience engaged with telling her story and the fun exercises she uses with the audience.
One of the many testimonials she has received from speaking about "Attitude and Gratitude: REALLY LIVING in the Middle of the Stuff": "Naomi Butler is a one in a million, caring speaker who truly helped me embrace my life. Her caring life-changing words give me renewed empowerment, guidance, and hope." (Audience attendee June, 2023)
One of the playlists that Naomi has added to her Youtube channel is about the 40+ (so far) anti-cancer and anti-oxidant ingredients that are in her "smoothie concoction" which are making a difference in her body. When you hear her story, you will find out that cancer #4 is now gone--GONE! God and this "smoothie" are working every day to keep her here so she can share her awesome and miraculous story with you!

Verified @djkbevents.comJune 6, 2025, Kaivan was Naomi’s client. I recently attended Naomi's Exhibiting 101 Workshop, and it was an absolute game-changer. As someone who's been considering exhibiting at the Dallas Bridal Show for some time, I walked away from the workshop feeling more confident, prepared, and genuinely excited about the possibilities. Naomi's approach is thorough, engaging, and highly supportive. She clearly cares about the success of every attendee, offering practical tips and strategic insights that make a real difference. Her guidance helped me see exactly how to maximize my presence and connect meaningfully with potential clients. If you're thinking about showcasing your business at a bridal show, I can’t recommend Naomi’s Exhibiting 101 Workshop highly enough. Thank you, Naomi, for your generosity, clarity, and commitment to helping us succeed.

February 16, 2025, LinkedIn Recommendation. Lauren worked with Naomi but they were at different companies. "As I listened to Naomi Butler speak on "Attitude and Gratitude: REALLY LIVING in the Middle of the Stuff," I was deeply moved by her powerful message. Naomi's ongoing health journey, coupled with her unwavering positivity and gratitude in the face of life's challenges, caused me to pause and reflect on my own circumstances. Life, as we all know, has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs that can knock us off our feet. But Naomi showed us that with grit, resilience, and a heart full of gratitude, we can navigate through the toughest of times. Her speech was not just inspiring; it was transformative Naoimi's words were not only motivational but practical--she shared actionable strategies that anyone, regardless of their age or situation, can implement immediately. These strategies allow us to create positive habits that help us respond with grace and strength when life tests us. What struck me most was hearing how Naomi herself pushes through each day, embracing life with joy and love. Her motto, "Smile Anyway, Why Not?" resonated deeply with me--it's a simple yet profound reminder that we have the power to choose how we face life, no matter the circumstances. By the end of her talk, I walked away with a heart full of admiration for Naomi and a renewed sense of energy. I felt empowered with practical tools to live more fully and intentionally. Naomi's speech left me inspired, energized, and excited to take charge of my day. If you are looking for a speaker who will truly move and inspire your audience, I wholeheartedly recommend Naomi Butler. Her message will touch hearts, spark positive change, and leave your group profoundly impacted. Reach out to Naomi today and let her transform your event in the most meaninful way!"
