Jake Smith

We chose Jake because he came highly recommended to us from our wedding co-ordinator. We are so glad we went with him, he was able to create a ceremony space that felt warm, sincere and natural. We firmly believe the ceremony should be the highlight of your wedding, after all that’s why people are there! And we felt Jake understood that and was the reason our ceremony stood out to us.

He was able to see the groom prior and settle some nerves, and when I turned up to the chapel, he also met me and instantly I felt we were dealing with a seasonsed professional, yet someone who was still invested genuinely in our moment. Prior to meeting, our email exchanges were always prompt and easy. Jake gave us so many options to build our readings, vows, and optional prayers; which were important to us. I felt like I had someone who really could help me get specifically what I wanted into the ceremony.

My only regret is that we didn’t book him for our MC ! If you have the budget, I would strongly suggest you snag him for both! He’s a strong presence when it comes to public speaking but can also make the crowd laugh. I had multiple people tell me that they felt the high energy and excitement in the room which was really built by Jake and I’m sure that would have carried into the night.

Thank you so much Jake for your wonderful contribution to our special day.

Jake was truly amazing in every way at our wedding ceremony, everything ran seamlessly. We had many guests compliment his work and the space he was able to hold. His interaction with the audience was perfect and made us feel so comfortable as well. He brought an exceptional energy to the day and we are eternally grateful. He made the process before the wedding smooth, easy and stress free. Most importantly, the container of love that he was able to hold and facilitate during the most precious moments of our lives were beyond words and we will never forget them. Claire and John :)

We first met Jake when he was the celebrant for our friend's wedding. We loved him so much, that 2 years later we asked him to be our celebrant and MC. Jake was the glue that held everything together, with some glitter sprinkled on top. He created such a fun atmosphere. He was professional, warm and welcoming and with his years of experience he was able to guide us in decisions. If we thought of something, he had already beaten us to it. We can't thank you enough Jake. All of our guests raved about you!!

We cannot thank Jake enough for all the effort and energy he put into our special day. We couldn't have imagined it without him. He made our ceremony so personable, relaxed and enjoyable for myself and husband, plus our guests. Our amazing guests all had the highest praise for Jake and it was easy then to explain that the reason we chose to have a very hot December wedding as Jake was our one non-negotiable for our big day. Having Jake as our celebrant was the easiest decision and our greatest choice. Thank you again Jake!

Oh my goodness where do we begin. That was without a doubt the best day of our lives. I can’t explain how magical and deeply spiritual the ceremony was, I still get goosebumps thinking about it and John is just sporadically crying thinking about different parts of the day. It was beyond special. We just want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your warmth, charisma and bringing the focus always to God’s blessing on our marriage and how profound a commitment it is. I also want to thank you for all of your behind the scenes work and care like coming down to the car for a pep talk and fist bump, it really put me at ease and helped me get focused. I’m so glad you finally got the chance to quote The Office in a professional capacity lol! If we could leave you six stars we would, but I suppose a glowing review will have to do lol! I will be recommending you to every person I know that is even thinking about getting married haha. We just LOVED sharing the day with you and it could not have been more perfect. Thank you for being you.

We are so very happy that we found Jake! He depicted us perfectly and made it feel like he truly knew us and our relationship. He created a relaxed and romantic atmosphere with lots of laughter. Many of our guests complimented us and loved how cool Jake was. I would recommend Jake over and over again without hesitation and we feel so lucky to have had Jake a part of our ceremony.

We've never met someone quite like Jake, it was like we had known him for years! We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant on our special day! He made us feel at such ease, we had such a fun time and had guests commenting all night on the amazing job he did. Thank you Jake for making our ceremony such a blast!

Jake was absolutely amazing we were so lucky to have him! The ceremony was warm, perfectly suited to us and loved by every guest. Leading up to the ceremony Jake made sure we were ready and comfortable and soothed any nerves we had. Jake is easy going, fun, and a beautiful person. After the ceremony we had guests come and tell us how much they loved Jake!

Jake, thank you so much for delivering the most personal, warm and special ceremony. It’s obvious that Jake has put so much thought into every step of the process. From the personal video to helping us with our vows, we are so grateful for Jake’s support and professionalism. Jake met my parents & I at our car upon arrival at the ceremony and was just brilliant at keeping us calm. Our guests absolutely loved Jake too!

Thank you so much Jake. Best day of our lives. Words cannot describe how Jake made my wife and I feel throughout our wedding ceremony. From the first inquiry response to changing flights to accomodate our wedding time and finally how he conducted our ceremony. He made us feel extremely relaxed but also has the ability to include a lot of love, laughter and fun. All family and friends commented on how fun but still emotional (in a good way) our ceremony was. This is a testament to Jake.

Prompt, friendly, well dressed and professional. Jake is the best celebrant hands down. We were told 'you'll be lucky if Jake is available' so we knew he was good! I had friends ask if Jake was family/friend because of how personal our ceremony was. Jake takes what is important to you and creates the perfect day. I had mentioned I wanted to take in every moment slowly, so Jake made sure that happened (something I otherwise wouldn't have had a chance to do). Family who have been to wedding after wedding said it was the most personal and special ceremony they have ever witnessed. Worth every cent.

Do yourself and your wedding a favour and hire Jake. He was an incredible Celebrant and MC. Ever the professional talking through every step and was able to make us laugh and cry with his kind and beautiful words. We can’t say anymore about him except “Yoda Best”.

Jake was the perfect fit for our wedding. Not only did an amazing job as our celebrant on the day, but he also sorted all the paperwork for us pre and post wedding which was such an amazing help! Based on a few guidelines from us, Jake put together a beautiful ceremony with a perfect mix of humour, light-heartedness, and seriousness. He kept us relaxed and enjoying the ceremony throughout. We cannot thank Jake enough for putting together such a beautiful ceremony and most importantly for marrying us! Thank-you Jake!

Where do I even start with Jake. He feels like a brother from the moment you meet him. He has this warm and super present feeling about him. He is so prepared and organised that any input he has into your wedding is seamless. He is so flexible on the day yet keeps everything moving as it needs to. My husband wore Louis Vuitton loafers to our wedding and after a little push from the groomsmen it was decided my husband would do a “shoey from the louie”. Jake orchestrated the guests to gather around the dancefloor, organised with the dj to play a song which had the words louie louie in it… He’s honestly just a top bloke and you will never regret having him as your celebrant and MC… Do both. He’s so fantastic at what he does. Big love to Jake. Another thing was that we aren’t religious at all. But Jake being a pastor, and writing God bless in his sign offs in his emails had such a wholesome feeling about it all. Both Jake and Lainey are a dream to work with. I wish we could do it all over again.

On the day he was absolutely fantastic!!! It was like having a friend deliver our ceremony! He had the perfect balance of calm, professional, sentiment and humour. We absolutely loved him and so did our guests!! We received so many compliments about Jake and how well he knew us! A wonderful person and celebrant!

Hi Jake, Corey and I can't thank you enough for being part of the best day of our lives. You made us both feel so calm and at ease on the day so that we could really be present in the moment and soak it all in. I've already been recommending you to our friends who are next to get married. PLUS, your response when we first enquired will go down as THE BEST customer experience I've had to date - customer personalisation done absolutely right!
