Nicky Almeida · Nix Wedding Planner

Intentional in every detail.
Breathtaking in every moment.
Never the same wedding twice.

Nicky Almeida has built thirty-five years of extraordinary celebrations on a single principle: your love story is unlike any other, and your wedding should prove it.

Every extraordinary story has a beginning.

For decades, Nicky has celebrated couples on the most important days of their lives, earning a reputation as one of the world's most respected and trusted wedding professionals. What began as a passion has grown into something much greater: a career built entirely on word of mouth, couple to couple, story to story.

Nicky is known not just for her extraordinary eye, but for the way she listens. She hears what you say and what you don't. She finds the heart of who you are as a couple and reflects it back through every flower, every table, every moment of your day. No two weddings have ever looked the same. Not one.

"When love leads the design, every detail becomes a reflection of the heart."

— Nicky

To whom it may concern,

It is with the greatest pleasure that I write this letter in support of Nicky Almeida and the Nix Wedding Planner team.

From our very first conversation, Nicky demonstrated a level of warmth, professionalism, and creative vision that we had never encountered before. She listened to everything we said, and more importantly, she understood everything we didn't know how to say. Our wedding was not just planned, it was composed with an extraordinary level of care and artistry.

Nicky's attention to detail was unlike anything I have experienced. Every vendor, every timeline, every floral arrangement, every moment of our day was considered with intention. Nothing was left to chance, and yet on the day itself, everything felt effortless and organic.

I would recommend Nicky without hesitation to any couple seeking a planner who truly cares, who brings both heart and excellence to every celebration.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Nicky Almeida as a wedding planner of extraordinary calibre.

My husband and I engaged Nicky for our destination wedding in Bali, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had. Nicky has a rare gift for translating a couple's personality into a celebration that feels deeply authentic. She never imposed her style upon us, but instead drew out the very best of who we are and reflected it through every detail of our day.

What struck us most was her composure and grace under pressure. On the day of our wedding, a last-minute change was required at the venue. Without a word to us, Nicky handled it completely, and we only found out much later. That is the measure of a truly exceptional professional.

To whom it may concern,

I write this letter with nothing but admiration and gratitude for Nicky Almeida.

When my partner and I first reached out to Nicky, we were overwhelmed by the idea of planning a destination wedding abroad. Within our first conversation, that feeling disappeared entirely. Nicky has an extraordinary ability to make you feel completely at ease, while simultaneously making clear that every single detail is in the best possible hands.

Our wedding in Bali was the most beautiful day of our lives. The decor, the flow of the day, the moments we did not even know to ask for but that appeared exactly when we needed them, all of it was a reflection of Nicky's extraordinary talent and dedication.

She is not simply a wedding planner. She is a custodian of love stories, and she treats that responsibility with complete sincerity.

I am so in love with my wedding. Thank you so, so much.

You took the best care of me, my family, and everyone around us. You were looking after me even before the wedding began, making sure I was okay, comfortable, and ready for everything. I truly felt so cared for every step of the way.

I also want to give a special thank you to your son Tayne and his partner. He is so sweet, just like you, and such a genuinely kind person.

Thank you as well to your beautiful team. Chetha and Krishma took care of us like family. I will miss them all so much, especially lovely Chetha, she is truly precious.

I still don't have enough words to express everything that happened over these past few days. It will take me some time to fully process and relive all the memories, but please know how grateful I am to you, your family, your team, and every vendor who helped make this celebration so special.

I hope to see you again whenever I'm next in Bali. Wishing you and your team endless success, happiness, and many more magical weddings to come.

Lots of love, Divya & Aayush

Where do I even start! Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was so seamless and easy because Nicky and her team were incredibly accessible, easy-going, organised, and genuinely lovely people.

I had Nicky as my Wedding Planner and, honestly, she was AMAZING! She was there for absolutely everything and was always completely transparent with me, whether it was about pricing, whether something was actually worth the money, whether it would look good, or if there was a better option. I always felt like she had our best interests at heart, and I trusted her completely.

If I had something I wanted, Nicky would find a way to make it happen. She has an incredible network of contacts and always knows exactly who to call to bring your vision to life. She made the whole planning process feel exciting rather than stressful, and her calm, positive and caring nature made such a huge difference.

And the vendors she had organised for our wedding day were just as amazing. Everyone was so lovely, professional and easy going, and they worked together so seamlessly. They absolutely nailed everything and left the venue looking incredible. Every little detail came together perfectly, and the entire experience on the day was honestly beyond anything we could have imagined.

I genuinely can't explain just how incredible our wedding day was. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we owe such a huge part of that to Nicky and her amazing team. I cannot thank them enough for making the entire journey, from planning right through to the day itself, so effortless, special and unforgettable.

If you want a fairytale wedding, honestly, HIT UP NICKY!💯❤️ She knows exactly what she's doing, has all the right contacts, and most importantly, she genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

I would recommend Nicky and her team a million times over!❤️🫶🏽

We honestly couldn't recommend Nix and her incredible team enough! 🤍

After 14 months of planning our destination wedding, we can genuinely say that everything was exceptional from start to finish. From the very beginning, I had complete trust and faith in Nix, and she went above and beyond to bring our vision to life.

She pulled everything together so seamlessly, and on the day itself, she made everything feel so effortless. We didn't have to worry about a single thing, we could just enjoy every moment knowing we were in the best hands.

Nix made our wedding day feel so incredibly special, and we truly couldn't fault a thing. Every detail was perfect, everything ran so smoothly, and the amount of care and effort she put into making our day amazing was beyond anything we could have asked for.

Thank you so much, Nix, for everything you did over those 14 months. We are so incredibly grateful we had you by our side and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone planning their dream wedding. 🤍✨

Nicky, my fairy godmother as I call her and team were an absolute dream to work with. Not only was she our biggest hype girl and negotiator she went above and beyond to make every crazy idea we had a reality. The professionalism of Nicky and her team was second to none, nothing was an issue. We did not have to think, we got to enjoy every moment because every detail was thought of meticulously with intention.

She exudes love, warmth and a passion for dreams and visions like I have never experienced. She is always available to answer questions.

Every guest can't stop saying it was the BEST wedding they had ever been too.

For this we are eternally grateful. Love you Nicky and crew.

Nicky and her team brought our dream wedding to life and it's better than we've ever imagined.

Our wedding day and planning process was more perfect than what we could have imagined. We are just so amazed at how smoothly everything went.

We had amazing vendors that created so many special moments throughout the day for us from the decor, the violin, the sax, the band, the celebrant/MC, the photo/video, fireworks and the DJ of course!

Nicky has an amazing on the day staff who looked after us all day which means we were both just focusing on each other.

Thank you doesn't even cover it. We are just grateful for Nicky and her team.

We had our destination wedding in Bali, and working with Nikki made the whole thing feel effortless. From the first planning conversation to the last dance, everything was sorted — no chasing, no stress, no surprises. She just quietly handled it all, which meant we got to actually be present and enjoy our day. And what a day it was: absolutely magical, exactly what we'd hoped for and somehow better. If you're planning a wedding abroad and feeling overwhelmed by the logistics, Nikki is the person you want in your corner. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
