Stella & Ben's The Valley Estate wedding review

The Valley Estate · Gold Coast, Queensland

14 January 2026

★★★★★

Jake Smith was the marriage celebrant for Stella & Ben at The Valley Estate, Gold Coast, Queensland, and they gave him a five star rating for his wedding celebrant services.

My husband and I first saw Jake marry our friends at their wedding and we knew we wanted Jake as our celebrant too. He was the celebrant and MC for our wedding and we couldn’t be more happier. Jake brought the exact energy we asked for, he was enthusiastic, funny and relaxed. As a bride, I didn’t want to think about schedule, I just wanted to be in the moment and have someone tell me, we need you here now for cake cutting, bouquet toss or first dance - and Jake was great at communicating that.
Thank you very much Jake, we appreciate everything you did for us!
