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.

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!

Jake is incredible. He facilitated such a wonderful ceremony and struck the most perfect balance between sincere / warm / thoughtful and humorous. We got a lot of feedback from guests on what a wonderful job he did - he really helped make the ceremony fun and special for us and one of the most memorable moments of the day. We weren't expecting to have so much fun at the ceremony and it genuinely ended up being one of the real highlights of the day. From our first interaction, Jake was incredibly professional and reliable and we always felt like we were in safe hands/working with the best. Even down to little things like ordering the wedding documentation was an absolute breeze with Jake. Thanks again!

Naomi and I were married by Jake and I cannot overstate his positive impact on the day. His communication, consultation and responsiveness was absolutely stellar, which gave my wife and I absolute confidence in his abilities as a celebrant. Our ceremony was personalised, fun and exactly what we asked for - could not recommend more highly. We received similar comments from many of our guests on the night on the quality of Jake's services.

From the moment we found Jake, we knew we had the perfect person to make our wedding GREAT! It doesn't matter what you're looking for, he can do it. We wanted our day to be fun and relaxed and tell the story of US. He 100% did that for us! Jake set the mood of the day from the beginning of our ceremony and we attribute the best day of our lives to Jake. He was born for this! We are so grateful we had the privilege of your charisma and expertise on our special day. You made it incredible and not only looked after us every step of the way but you looked after every single person in attendance. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic you were as both celebrant & MC. Many were shocked you hadn't known us for years! You are an absolute blessing to the wedding industry, you know I will be recommending you any chance I get!

Thank you doesn't seem enough?? You were just the best Jake. Every single couple is so lucky to have you. You truly do create personalised and meaningful ceremonies. Motto definitely achieved.

Thank you for doing what you do. We had an absolute blast!!!

Also, have you ever been told you look like Daniel Craig? Our guests were your biggest fans for so many reasons.

When I had the first meeting with my wedding planner at Gabbinbar, she asked me if I have found a celebrant, I was super stressed at that time because I only had 3 months to organize the wedding and I really have no idea about where to start, especially looking for most essential part of the wedding – a celebrant. I told the wedding planner that I want someone who can make the vibe chill and relaxed, I told her I saw this guy’s photo from Gabbinbar’s webpage and I really really like his smile and this is the kind of person I would love to have. Without showing the picture to my planner, she said try to ask Jake if he is available on the day. I went home and google Jake and damn! This is the guy with the big smile from the Gabbinbar page!! And how lucky we are that Jake is available on our big day! We are so grateful to have him.

I have to be honest that Jake really asks a lot from the ceremony kit, but this really made me feel that this man really knows what he is doing and he really likes to get things organized. Jake came to say hi to me when I was getting ready and making sure I know all the details of the ceremony. He knows that I planned my wedding in 3 months and the amount of reassurance and support he gave me is really priceless, Jake kept telling me “ Vicky, I am here to make you not to stress, you don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy your day”

We had Jake as our MC as well, initially I was thinking that having a MC who only speaks English can be a bit difficult for us, as most of my family don’t speak English very well. But Jake did an amazing job at every single moment of our big day. Even my Grandma who doesn’t even understand any English said “Jake is very professional and he is really really really good, I Like him!!”

There was a little episode of little incident when people let my husband drinking too much and I got a bit cranky, Jake just followed me when I was about to lose my shit and he told me things will be fine, don’t stress, just have a deep breath and enjoy the rest of the night.

Jake is just perfect! He will meet all your need, word can not describe how wonderful he is, don’t wait, don’t hesitate, if he is available on your big day, just get him get him get him!!!! I really don’t think I will get married again, but having Jake for our wedding is one of the best decision I have ever made! I have already told all the other couple friends around us to get Jake as their celebrant, because there is no one better than him!! Jake we loved you so much!! Thank you 1000 times XX.

Jake was absolutely amazing. He made us feel so comfortable and put together such a professional ceremony with so much love, kindness and of course laughs. We can not fault him. If you are looking for a celebrant than look no further. Jake is hands down your guy. Thank you once again Jake for being a part of our wedding and marrying myself and Blake.

Clay and I were lucky enough to be ‘Married By Jake.’

Some parts of the wedding planning experience can be hard and stressful. So when you find vendors that are so accommodating, organised and easy going, it makes it a fun experience.

Jake from the beginning was so helpful and full of ideas and information. We instantly felt comfortable around him. So it made sense to have him not only as our celebrant but also as our MC.

He really understood the type of wedding that we wanted and helped portray that with our guests!

He was excellent at guiding us through the ceremony, which really eased our nerves.

We had so many of our wedding guests tell us how much they loved him and that wanted him for their weddings!

So where do I begin? Jake was recommended by our venue and being the typical girl, I scrolled through videos listening to voices of celebrants trying to find someone who had a genuine warmth and presence about them and I kept getting drawn back to Jake.

This was only the start, meeting Jake in person, honestly he’s a true professional. His warmth, charisma and the way he engages and brings a room together is nothing short of amazing. We’re a pretty laid back couple but your wedding day can be quite overwhelming he made sure the both of us were calm and settled but made sure we were having fun too! And not to mention so attentive to us throughout the whole day as well as our family and guests!

I am telling you there is no one else I would book, not only were we so impressed all our guests continued to mention how great he was.

You are truly one of a kind Jake and we feel so blessed that we got to share our magical day with you, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Love Tara and Dan x

Where do I start... Jake MADE our wedding day! From the personalisation, attention to detail, to the endless enthusiasm, humour, warmth and genuine care Jake showed us and our guests. There are no words to thank you enough for bringing these qualities to our precious day. Booking Jake as our celebrant and MC was one of our best decisions! I can’t tell you how many people have mentioned our “amazing celebrant/MC” the following day, it was clearly appreciated by our guests. The amount of people who have asked me “which side of the family is Jake related to?” Because with that much personal detail and genuine genuine passion for our day, they assumed he must have been family. If I could leave 100 gold stars I truly would. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you, we could not imagine our day without you.

“Jake was the best celebrant my husband and I could have asked for. Planning our ceremony was a breeze and a lot easier than I had previously thought it would be. Jake was amazing with all of our guests and he definitely helped me to calm my nerves before walking down the aisle. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone about to tie the knot, he truly is such a lovely person to work with. Thank you for making our big day that much more special!
