Rachel & Luke's Gabbinbar wedding review

Gabbinbar · Toowoomba, Queensland

13 June 2025

★★★★★

Jake Smith was the marriage celebrant for Rachel & Luke at Gabbinbar, Toowoomba, Queensland, and they gave him a five star rating for his wedding celebrant services.

I’ve worked in the wedding industry for over seven years, and early on I knew that when my own wedding day came, I wanted Jake to marry us. We even changed our original date so we could have him as our celebrant and MC — one of the best decisions we made.

Jake brings an energy to the day that’s hard to put into words. He’s passionate, incredibly well‑spoken, and completely invested in making each moment meaningful. Our ceremony was heartfelt, deep, and truly personal. We’ve had so many guests comment on how beautiful and engaging it was — so much of that is thanks to Jake.

As an MC, he kept the day running seamlessly and on time. He shared thoughtful tips throughout the day, checked in on us regularly, and made sure we had everything we needed. It felt like having a close friend by our side, guiding the flow with warmth and professionalism.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Jake more highly. If you’re lucky enough to have him as part of your day, you’re in very good hands.
