NIKETTA SHINE

Sole owner + creative director

Niketta has a passion for all things art, design and style and has a particularly deep bond with nature whether it be in the bush, with sand or mud between her toes, on the water or under it. 

With over 16 years experience in the wedding industry and a vast array of weddings under her belt she is continuously pushing boundaries and taking her creative flair to new places.  She has a passion for foraging and utilising what’s around her pushing for sustainability where she can.  Her creativity is deeply rooted in her and has travelled through her blood for generations, she is currently surrounded by a large extended family of highly creative beings.

Niketta found her passion for plants and flora from a very tender age in the depths of her grandmothers jungle-like garden, to this day her and her grandmother share a close bond woven together by their shared love of gardening, flora and art in general. 

Niketta has a degree in fine art having graduated from Whitecliffe College of Art and Design and has never strayed too far away from creative industries throughout her life. 

After owning her own Picture Framing business and Art gallery at 24 around 5years on she was drawn back to her passion for event floristy and gradually began building a new business. Seeing a gap in the market in Northland for on-trend hire furniture, props and styling, North Events was born. 

When not in the peak wedding season you will find her tending to her and her partners beef farm in northland surrounded by cattle and pooches, in her studio building custom picture frames for local clients, rustling around in the vege garden or at the beach swimming, fishing or diving. And her most favourite past time spending time with her beautiful daughter.
