From the initial phone call with Jake, I knew he was the one! The one and only celebrant I not only wanted, but needed for our wedding, and Jake did not disappoint. Jake’s energy and presence on the day were second to none! Jake’s guidance and commitment leading up to the wedding ensured we felt prepared and reassured that our ceremony was going to be nothing less than perfect. Jake not only made the ceremony enjoyable for us, but also for our guests. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond in the most spectacular way!

I honestly cannot begin to express how amazing Jake was throughout our entire process of getting married. In terms of planning our day, Jake made every step so smooth and simple, and for two people who really struggle with making final decisions this was invaluable to us! From helping us organise the ceremony, to giving us advice on how to write our vows, to providing suggestions on how to improve the run sheet - Jake was there every step of the way and made everything so easy. On the actual day, we received non-stop compliments on how amazing Jake was. Our guests could not stop raving about how effortlessly funny he was, and how he really brought the energy to our ceremony and reception. Jake honestly went above and beyond for us, checking in constantly to see how we were feeling and to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, and also offering to run to the 7/11 to get more batteries for our camera! You could tell he was there to ensure everything was about my husband and I and that we were at the centre of every decision he made, and we can’t thank him enough for that. We will recommend Jake as a celebrant/MC to anyone who will listen. Thanks so much for everything!!

From the moment he responded to our enquiry, we knew we’d found our guy. He was professional, charismatic, hilarious and had the crowd hooked on his every word. We consider ourselves lucky to have someone such as himself to officiate our big day.

It's so hard to express in words how wonderful it is to be Married by Jake! After years in the wedding industry, I still remember the first time I experienced one of Jake's ceremonies and knew that he was the only person I could imagine, guiding us beautifully to our I Do's.

To know Jake is to know how kind-hearted, joyous and thoughtful he is as a person. But to watch him in ceremony is to know those things as well, straight away, as his guests and new friends. He has a calm but electric energy and the beautifully intimate atmosphere he creates during your ceremony is unmatched. It's a complete joy to be a bride and groom standing beside him on the day and equally to be a guest.

This review could go on and on with praise, but put simply, there is no one like Jake, he is simply made to do this. Thank you sincerely Jake, it was my favourite part of the day.

We had Jake as our Celebrant and MC and I couldn’t recommend him enough! He made sure we were comfortable every step of the way through the ceremony as well as ahead of the big day to make sure I was happy with the way everything would go. As MC he was fantastic coordinating with the vendors and helping us manage any time slippage on the day (and most importantly making sure we both had a moment to sit down and eat!) I would most certainly recommend him for any Celebrant/MC needs

I truly don't even know where to begin!! Jake came highly recommended to us and he was everything we could have dreamed of and more as a celebrant! He was so composed and the perfect mix of funny and serious. Jake made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and he truly made our guests feel right at home. Our day wouldn't have been the same without Jake and we are forever grateful for the role he played on our big day.

Thank you Jake, for everything.

We were looking for a Christian Celebrant for our wedding and Google gave us Jake. What a win.

He had all these good reviews, it seemed a little too good to be true but we enquired anyway. Within the hour, Jake contacted us and we knew that he was legit.

He is genuine and INCREDIBLE at what he does. He was our Celebrant and M.C and people were telling us afterwards that he was so good!

People were actually shocked that Jake didn't personally know us for years before the wedding, because he was just so natural and amazing. He was definitely a friend rather than someone we booked for a wedding. Our wedding felt natural and personal.

Thank you Jake, we had a rollercoaster of events leading up to the wedding, and we're so grateful that you were there for us from start to finish. It would have been crazy without you!

For couples thinking about it, just book Jake. You won't regret it.

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.

Jake was incredible, we wanted a short and relaxed ceremony which he nailed! Jake also MC'd our wedding and this was one of the best decisions we made. Jake was able to work with out wedding coordinator to ensure our reception ran smoothly! Having Jake Mc took so much stress off my husband and I.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommended Jake to any one planning a wedding!!

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”.

I couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Jake made the ceremony perfect; light hearted and fun. I was running late and having a slight panic attack and Jake’s calm attitude and beautiful personality calmed me down and ensured I was all good before he started the ceremony.

He caught our eye on an instagram and the whole process of booking, chatting and all the little details were so easy to follow. Jakes preparation, details and advice were amazing.

Honestly if you’re trying to find the best celebrant for your special day then Jake’s your guy!!! Thank you again for making our ceremony so perfect!

Leading up to the wedding Jake and his team were very helpful, supporting us through the process and providing lots of tips, tricks and recommendations.

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!

JAKE IS AMAZING! When we started the search we knew we needed someone who was going to make it personal and deliver the right atmosphere. Jake did this and more! He made the process super easy and our wedding was incredibly special. We honestly couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding and celebrant; Jake is worth every dollar!

Thank you Jake! Our ceremony was perfect and we had so many people say how awesome it was. Your advice was also amazing and helped us really soak in every moment!
