Nikki is a culturally and linguistically diverse voice coach, an MC and a nature lover. She has a special interest in performing arts, human movement and empowering others to live their best lives.
Based in Melbourne, Nikki works across Australia and beyond.
I was always actively involved in music and events in university, and can speak both Chinese and English fluently. So when my friends started getting married, even as a guest I was able to jump right in to help with guest ushering, proactively monitoring the environment to prevent hiccups in the schedule, and supporting the vendors and professionals so that they do their best jobs on the day, in order to reduce stress for the marrying couple. So, it wasn’t long until this became a job!
Being able to support my friends through their big day gave me a great sense of accomplishment, and that was also when I realised that I was pretty good at thinking on my feet, coordinating and hosting events.
Having studied business and management and worked in the corporate sector, I have a good grasp on how each stakeholder comes to play in every production. Other professionals that I have worked with enjoys having me as a part of the team, and my clients have always been impressed with the quality of my service, the way that I look after their families and them and eloquent management of the unexpected. Sure, there are hiccups at events, there are so many things that can go wrong during each event: from sound system failure, dry ice machine issues to late arrival of the bride and groom… All that is just a part of live events, so it’s no big deal, I just happily roll with it because my style is quite relaxed. During that time, communication is extremely important, bringing the suppliers onto the same page and work together would ensure a solution, and getting to know my couples so personally means that by then I know exactly how to put them at ease.
I love working with people and see everyone as an indispensable piece in this big puzzle of a celebration of vitality and love. If you can see me as a part of your event or would like to know how my services can be tailored for your event needs, please book in a conversation with me!
