Nikki Rutherford
General Manager
weddingsonline UAE, weddingsonline India and weddingsonline Mauritius
Growing up in a family owned and run business of wedding floristry, I have always had a real love of weddings, and the time, thought and planning that goes into them. I moved to Dubai in 2016 to pursue my love of marketing and event planning, creating full 360 solutions for clients across the UAE, integrating online services with on ground events.
As the world became more digital, so did I, with my focus shifting towards digital marketing: programmatic advertising, social media management and digital content. I joined weddingsonline.ae in 2015 as an Account Manager, and in 2016 moved into the position of General Manager, overseeing the day-to-day running of the business from both supplier and couple facing perspectives.
I now manage three teams and platforms in the weddingsonline portfolio; India, UAE and Mauritius. I understand the importance of integrating many suppliers to achieve the shared vision of the bride, and the joy for me is in seeing this transpire. I have spoken at several global wedding industry events, and have hosted numerous industry events including The Dubai Wedding Summit since 2014, which will next be held in Q4 of 2024.

We currently service wedding suppliers and venues throughout the UAE and India, by delivering specific leads on a monthly, weekly and daily basis.
