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.

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.

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.

Jake, we can’t even describe how incredible you were. Every single person complimented on how good of a job you did with the whole day.

Jake managed to deliver a heartfelt, personal and entertaining ceremony all while respecting our wishes. He was extremely professional, and worked with us every step of the way to provide us with an experience that we could not fault. Jake also MCed our reception - he kept the night at a perfect tempo and was at ease shifting and pivoting when things didn't go to plan.

To top it off, we received many comments from friends and family asking how long we had known Jake - was he an uncle? An old friend? Much to their surprise, we had not met in person until he was performing the marriage ceremony.

We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Jake for both his celebrant and MC services. Our choice of vendors made our big day as perfect as it could be, and Jake played a big part in this.

If you have ever heard of people being at the top of their craft, having honed in their skills through years of experience and effort, and they just appear perfect at it? Well, this is Jake. And Perfect is not me being hyperbolic.

Jake was the perfect wedding celebrant. From the moment I sent an enquiry, all the way through, he was warm, professional, and showed genuine care. He made the paperwork easy and simple, and did a lot of the administration work for us. And when you are in the middle of organizing a wedding, this is a life saver.

The ceremony itself was incredible. He was able to bring the exact right mood to the ceremony. It was intimate, while also having my wife and I, and the guests, laughing at various stages. I had numerous guests come up after the ceremony and ask how long he had known us, because he spoke like he had known us for years.

We also had Jake MC our reception, and that couldn't have gone better. The venue staff commented how great he was, and said he was the best MC they've had. He kept everything going according to plan, so we got to relax and enjoy our night.

Jake, I can't thank you enough for everything.

Having been lucky enough to see Jake in action at a previous wedding, locking him in for our own special day was the easiest decision in all of our wedding planning. Despite having only exchanged a handful of emails with him, Jake delivered a wonderfully personal ceremony that sounded like he had known us both for years. Jake strikes the perfect balance between sentiment and humour. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, but there were plenty of laughs too. When it rained unexpectedly 5 minutes before our ceremony, Jake's calm and positive nature kept us completely relaxed at a moment that could have sent us into meltdown. We've totally lost track of how many lovely compliments we have received on our 'amazing celebrant' from our guests.

Jake was simply the most wonderful celebrant and presence on the day. He made everything a breeze, helped us feel incredibly calm and at ease throughout, and was just wonderful to be around. We actually loved having him there so much we tried to convince him to stay longer after the ceremony for a drink and to chat more.

We simply can not recommend Jake enough to anyone looking for the most wonderful day and celebrant. He will guide you through, keep you relaxed and in the moment, and allow you to have the most amazing memories of the day. Thank you Jake!

Jake made our ceremony so special. Working with him and his super efficient team in the lead up to the wedding was so easy. The team know their stuff and don't make the admin side of getting married feel like a chore.

Jake perfectly captured the relaxed, upbeat and friendly vibe we wanted for our ceremony and made us both feel instantly at ease. You can tell he really cares!

Also highly recommend the Insta reel as a fun piece of content to help relive wonderful memories.

Thank you so much for leading a wonderful ceremony. It was so much fun. I felt so relaxed.

Didn’t expect to laugh so much. It was wonderful.

Everyone said that you made the ceremony epic and were calling you 007 because you were so smooth and look like Daniel Craig. What a compliment!

We just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our wedding day! You did such an incredible job, and we couldn't have asked for anything more! We had so many compliments about how amazing you were and everyone had such a fun time! Thank you for being so understanding when we had little hiccups throughout the night, we really appreciate everything you did for us! A family friend said made that she wanted to get a divorce just so that she could get re-married and have you as their celebrant (she only got married 3 weeks ago! lol)

Honestly couldn't have asked for a better day, and sincerely want to thank you for making our dream day come true!

Jake was the celebrant for our wedding last weekend, we went with Jake as he was the perfect mix of ordained pastor and funky-fun celebrant we were looking for. He helped make it personal and unique, and it ended up being an awesome ceremony and just the best day! All our guests said the ceremony was amazing, light hearted and just very ‘us’. Thank you for doing an awesome job Jake!! Xx

We were fortunate enough that Jake was available for our wedding and although we had to postpone due to covid, it was the best thing that happened just so he could be apart of our day! We’ve never met such a genuine, warm and compassionate celebrant and we knew that Jake would bring the perfect vibe and setting to our ceremony. Writing vows and planning our ceremony felt extremely daunting, however Jake made this process so easy and gave us the opportunity to fully customise our ceremony so that it was perfect for us to make sure it was exactly how we wanted it to feel. He had the most calming presence on the day and kept our guests entertained yet always present throughout the duration of our ceremony. We’ve received so many compliments on just how amazing he was on the day and how perfect he was to be the one to tell our story. There is nothing we would have changed about our ceremony and we owe it all to Jake! Thank you so so much!
