For almost 20 years, Lotus Events has been helping clients create destination weddings, corporate events and personalised experiences across Hoi An and Da Nang. Founded by expatriates who have made Vietnam their home, we combine local expertise, trusted relationships and years of event experience to help bring memorable events to life.
Today, Lotus Events works with clients from around the world, creating events that feel personal, authentic and thoughtfully designed around the people at the heart of them.
Lotus Events was founded by Nadine, whose journey into the events industry began during her years working as a tour guide in Vietnam. After being approached to assist with a corporate event, she soon received requests for weddings, celebrations, and group experiences, eventually leading her to establish Lotus Events.
Nadine recognised the region’s potential early. The combination of beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, world-class hospitality, stunning countryside and rich cultural experiences offered something truly unique. As new resorts and event facilities opened across the region, more couples, companies and travellers began choosing Central Vietnam as the setting for their celebrations and events.
Over the years, Lotus Events has grown alongside the destination itself. While much has changed, the philosophy remains the same — creating personalised experiences that reflect each client rather than fitting them into a standard package.
Founder & Creative Director
Australian-born and passionate about Vietnam, Nadine founded Lotus Events after years of working in tourism, hospitality and events across Australia, Hanoi and Hoi An. Having witnessed the growth of Central Vietnam as a destination for weddings, celebrations and corporate events, she recognised the opportunity to create personalised experiences that went beyond standard event packages.
Combining creativity, local knowledge and almost 20 years of experience in Vietnam’s events industry, Nadine continues to play an active role in shaping the vision and direction of Lotus Events.
Known for her calm approach and attention to detail, she loves developing new concepts and finding the thoughtful touches that make an event feel truly personal. From venue ideas and styling concepts to guest experiences and event design, Nadine enjoys helping clients create celebrations that feel meaningful, memorable and uniquely their own.
Event Manager
Originally from the UK, Miriam spent more than 10 years working in travel and corporate events before moving to Vietnam, where she quickly fell in love with Hoi An, its people and the lifestyle of Central Vietnam.
Combining a background in large-scale events, logistics and client management with a passion for bringing people together, Miriam now oversees the day-to-day operations of Lotus Events and works closely with clients throughout the planning process.
She loves helping clients move beyond standard event packages to create experiences that genuinely reflect who they are. From memorable dining experiences and entertainment to incorporating Vietnamese elements and unexpected touches, Miriam enjoys finding creative ways to make every event feel unique.
Known for her practical approach, organisation, and ability to stay calm under pressure, she believes the best events combine great planning, great people, and a few unexpected surprises along the way.
Event Support
While Nadine and Miriam lead the planning and management of Lotus Events, every event is supported by a trusted network of event professionals, creatives and suppliers who work together to bring each project to life.
Over the years, we have built strong relationships with some of the most talented people in the industry across Hoi An and Da Nang. From photographers, stylists and florists to entertainers, celebrants, production teams and specialist event suppliers, we carefully select the right people for each event based on its style, requirements and budget.
This approach allows us to create bespoke teams for every project, giving our clients access to the expertise they need without being limited to a fixed supplier list or standard package.
One reason clients choose to work with Lotus Events is our flexible approach to planning. Rather than starting with a package and asking clients to adapt their plans around it, we prefer to start with the people, their priorities and the experience they want to create.
For some clients, that means designing a destination wedding that reflects their personalities and those of their guests. For others, it could be a corporate event with a stronger connection to local culture, or a private celebration centred on a unique idea or special occasion.
Personalised does not necessarily mean more elaborate or more expensive. Often it simply means focusing on what is important to you and removing the elements that aren’t. Our goal is to create events and experiences that feel meaningful, memorable, and genuinely reflective of the people at their heart.
REVIEWS
We are grateful to have worked with incredible clients from around the world on weddings, corporate events and celebrations across Vietnam.
Lotus Events Vietnam was the best decision we ever made. Our planner Nadine was incredible and ensured we had the most spectacular wedding day. Every last detail was planned perfectly and the venue, food, music and photographers went above and beyond our expectations. we highly recommend this team to anyone looking to create a magical event that you will never forget. Thank you so much to everyone involved!
Miriam was able to take any idea I had and make it a reality! Anything I threw at her, she had a way to make it happen. During the planning process, I appreciated the coordination and flexibility of meeting times given the time difference. Then, once we arrived, she was able to manage any unforeseen situation with ease and keep things moving. Would work with her again on future events. Thank you, Miriam and team, for a fantastic weekend of events and a wedding!
