Every wedding should be unique and personal.
Nobody wants an awkward, boring or irrelevant ceremony… but sadly; they still happen all the time!
Your ceremony; that unique moment in your life when you arrive as two, but leave as one; surrounded by your nearest and dearest… surely deserves to be more than just 'OK'.
Together we can make it Meaningful but also Personal and Enjoyable!
Thousands of delighted couples; (we believe Jake is the most highly reviewed celebrant in Australia) have been married by Jake and here’s what you can expect:
Firstly what you won't get!
That horrible, awkward feeling you had at that wedding that time (Cringe!!)
Guests who have no idea what's happening (Awkward!)
Stress... lots of unnecessary stress!!
A celebrant who is still 'practising', nervous or just reading through a script.
A celebrant that tries too hard to be funny. (Humour is great; playfulness and having some lighthearted fun is amazing, however trying to be ‘Jokey’ just never feels quite right at a wedding).
What you will get, included in the fee
An initial (obligation-free) chat about your day.
Creation of your unique, personal ceremony; which will be both meaningful AND enjoyable!
Unlimited email.
Wedding Ceremony Tips; advice based on years of experience.
Ceremony run-through chat (once I’ve created your ceremony, only if you want to, no stress!!).
Preparation of your printed Australian Federal Government marriage certificate.
Preparation of legal marriage paperwork for the ‘Births Deaths and Marriages’ in the state where the ceremony is held.
Lodgement with the relevant 'Births Deaths and Marriages' to ensure registration of your marriage.
Collaboration with all parties involved in your ceremony to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Delivery of your ceremony in a personal manner, by a confident, but not arrogant public speaker.
A professional grade, portable, public address system (if required).
Confidence; that Jake will be there to help you along the way and that you'll have a great ceremony!
Travel costs, travel time and incidentals to get Jake to and from your ceremony location
