I'm Nikkiema Rai, and close to a decade spent holding space for people at some of the most honest moments of their lives has made me steady in a room, unhurried, and comfortable being trusted with something special - like your wedding.

People who've stood in ceremonies I've held tend to use the same handful of words afterwards, grounded, calm, warm, present. One described being held by my energy, another said I kept an eye on everything the whole time, so nobody else had to. Those are the qualities I bring to a wedding day too, a presence that lets the moment be exactly what it is for the two of you.

I moved to Brisbane recently and I'm building this part of my practice here, bringing years of training with me along with a deep curiosity about every couple's particular way of loving each other.

Playful when the day calls for playful, precise when it calls for precision, and comfortable holding a room when the work needs it. Legally able to marry couples anywhere in Australia, at home in a five minute signing with two witnesses and equally at home running a full day surrounded by everyone you love.

Get in touch if you'd like someone who listens before writing a word of your ceremony.
