Gheorja & Jake's Braeside At Gin House Creek Estate wedding review

Braeside At Gin House Creek Estate · Merrimac, Queensland

★★★★★

Jake was incredible and has lots of amazing reviews that are all true! He was so helpful throughout the planning process, and we never felt we couldn’t reach out to him if we needed something. The ceremony prep was fun and great to follow.

We had one phone call with Jake prior to our wedding - his calendar was fully booked and he still squeezed us in. Jake went above and beyond for us on the day, always there to help me with my dress or pass me a drink for a sip in between the thousand things going on around us, and was always making sure we knew what needed to happen next.

Jake made our ceremony so authentic and warm - we wanted cute, lovely but chill and fun and he nailed it. Our guests didn’t stop laughing or smiling all day. Our guests have all come up to us since and commented about how amazing Jake was. Jake is truly special and we can’t thank him enough for being there with us on our special day!

He was also our MC and was so aware of how to ensure guests had a great time, minimising interruptions and maximising atmosphere - we would absolutely recommend him to everyone. As a bonus, he filmed parts of the day for us so we got a sneak peak the next day! That meant the world, to be able to wake up the next day and see it play out on camera.

Our guests keep telling us that they loved him and thought he was so incredible and they thought we’d known him for years. Jake, you’re so special and talented at what you do! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.
