Palm Beach Magic – A Celebration to Remember
Performing in Florida with Melbourne and Miami’s best musicians
In September 2024, I received an enquiry that—if I’m honest—initially felt too surreal to be real. A Shanghainese bride-to-be, a formidable and successful woman based in the U.S., had reached out about booking me for her wedding in Palm Beach, Florida. At the time, I genuinely wondered if it might be a scam.
But all doubts vanished after our first Zoom meeting. The couple’s warmth, clarity, and conviction left me speechless. They had already made up their minds: they wanted me to be a part of their celebration. And just like that, the journey began.
Fast forward to May 2025, and there I was—on the sun-drenched coast of Palm Beach, stepping into a four-day celebration that would become one of the most memorable moments of my professional life.
From leading the tea ceremony to delivering a heartfelt jazz performance and translating during the wedding ceremony alongside the Reverend, every part of this experience was deeply meaningful. I was surrounded by joy, love, and some of the most generous and talented people I’ve had the privilege of working with.
What made it even more special was the growing recognition of my work and our band on a global scale. To see our music travel and resonate so far from home—woven into such a personal and significant celebration—was truly humbling.
These moments remind me why I do what I do. I am endlessly grateful for the trust that couples place in me, for the opportunities to perform and connect across cultures, and for the beautiful, unexpected paths that life continues to offer.
Palm Beach was more than just a destination—it was a milestone. And I carry the joy, the music, and the memories with me, always.
Keep creating,
Nikki
