Jacquie & Nathan's The Valley Estate wedding review

The Valley Estate · Currumbin Valley, Queensland

21 July 2025

★★★★★

Jake Smith was the marriage celebrant for Jacquie & Nathan at The Valley Estate, Currumbin Valley, Queensland, and they gave him a five star rating for his wedding celebrant services.

Beyond amazing! We reached out to Jake a year and a half before our wedding, wanting a pastor who could make our Christian wedding filled with faithfulness while keeping the ceremony fun. With Jake, you get the best of both worlds!

As the wedding day approached, Jake went through every detail with us in our meetings. He is extremely creative, and we embraced his ideas for our ceremony, ending up with the best memories of our big day. All our guests were happy and impressed by Jake’s sense of humour and strong prayers.

It felt like our ceremony was conducted by a close friend, even though it was the first time meeting Jake in person. Jake loves his profession, and that’s what makes him care so much about couples’ weddings.

As an anxious bride, Jake assured me multiple times that nothing could go wrong - he would be there with us, assisting us, and he even prayed for my anxiety and concerns about the big day. That shows true care and love!

Jake has a mission from God and he is absolutely fulfilling that role with strength and dedication. We can’t thank Jake enough! God bless!
