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 incredible.

Myself and my now husband had no less than about 10 wedding guests tell me he was the best celebrant they’ve ever seen. Not only did he have everyone enjoying themselves and laughing, but there was also about 5 or 6 occasions where he gave subtle advice that either made an incredible photo, or eased our nerves.

10/10.

From day one Jake was an absolute breeze to work with, he was so responsive to emails and took all of the stress out of the paperwork side of things. Despite not meeting Jake in person until we were standing at the alter it felt as if we’d known him forever. Jake has the most incredible gift in making people feel so calm and cared for. Everyone who attended the wedding said it was the best ceremony they’d ever witnessed, so much joy, laughter, and love was in the chapel that day. They said it was the best and most meaningful wedding ceremony they had ever seen. We are so grateful we had you with us on the most special day of our lives. Thank you Jake… Buckets of love

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.

Jake is truly the perfect wedding celebrant. From the initial booking to the the day itself, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed. His genuine interest and care were evident throughout. On the day, Jake ensured all guests felt valued and included. His delivery struck the perfect balance of being relaxed, witty, honest, and upbeat, exactly as we had requested. It felt like he had known us for years. Post-ceremony, numerous family and friends even asked if Jake was a long-lost brother as he knew us so well!

Thank you, Jake, for making our day so memorable.

Well… From the first communication via email, Jake was so helpful and clear, it make all the nerves about paperwork go away. Any questions I had were promptly answered.

On the day of our elopement, he walked in the door and I was instantly relaxed. His energy was amazing, so happy, vibrant, funny, and relaxed all at the same time definitely our vibe. We had a quick chat about how we were thinking it would all go down and when we were ready, got the ball rolling. The ceremony was so perfect. It was personal, funny, sentimental, I couldn’t have imagined it being anymore perfect!

Thank you Jake, so much, for marrying us..

10/10 100% would recommend Jake to anyone!!

We were “Married by Jake” one week ago today and I still cannot believe it was real! I was so anxious before the ceremony, but Jake has such a calming manner about him that when I got to the end of the aisle all of the nerves were gone. He directed us beautifully and made it so easy. Jake is warm, funny, calming, attentive and knows how to make it a fun time! We chose to have Jake MC for our reception and it was the best decision we could make. Jake can sure work a room! Everyone thought that we had known him forever. Jake made a lasting impression on all of our guests. At any point throughout the night when I needed something Jake seemed to magically appear, he was so helpful and went above and beyond in catering to our needs. Thank you so very, very much Jake! You are an angel and I am so thankful and blessed to have had you there, guiding us along the way. You helped to bring my dream day to life. Don’t go anywhere because we want you there again to renew our vows!

No amount of words can fully describe how amazingly awesome Jake is! We had him as our celebrant and MC for our wedding and we could not possibly picture the day without him. Jake was so genuine, funny, kind and professional throughout the entire day and he truly made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. From the moment we contacted him to enquire about his services, to the very end of our wedding reception, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. His communication from the very beginning was great and the whole process of planning the ceremony and reception was seamless. He went out of his way to get to know my husband and I to completely personalise our ceremony and help us plan an awesome reception. He even gave us tips and suggestions on how our reception could be more unique and fun. We even had a quick phone call with Jake a week before the wedding to run through exactly how the day was going to work and this completely put our mind at ease and made us so excited for the day. Jake was just so incredible and we are so happy we had him apart of our special day. It was truly an honour to have him marry us and just be by our side on the most important day of our life. We have and will continue to recommend Jake to all our family and friends.

Jake, we simply can’t thank you enough! We are so grateful for everything you did for us and we will cherish your presence at our wedding until our last day in this lifetime. THANK YOU!

Jake was an excellent marriage celebrant who is a master of his craft. We met Jake for the first time on our wedding day and he immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. He had a very comforting presence and directed us patiently and methodically through each and every step of the process. But most of all, he made our guests and us felt at home through our joyous celebration!

Thank you Jake for making our day run smoothly and making us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout what could have been a stressful day.

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.

We had the most incredible experience with Jake who was the celebrant for our wedding. We received SO many compliments and comments about the beautiful way that he engaged with all of our guests. He was wonderful throughout the whole process of both planning and execution. He and his team had prompt communication and were very kind, warm, and organised. On the wedding day he absolutely NAILED the vibe that were looking for through his hilarious, charismatic and authentic approach. He delivered a unique and individualised ceremony that had everyone in tears both from laughter and from pulling at their heart strings. Jake did a phenomenal job of representing us both, and we couldn't be happier with the choice that we made for our celebrant. Thanks again for your magnificent work Jake!

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!

Jake was the first vendor we booked right after our venue. We were initially a bit confused about how to go about picking the right celebrant for us. We found Jake after a quick google search but loved him from our first impression of him on his website. He came off genuine, lively, charming & passionate and he absolutely is all of those things. About 30 seconds into our initial phone call we knew we wanted to book him and we never doubted we'd made the right choice. Any questions we had or anything we were confused about was always responded to very quickly and speaking to Lainey (Jake's PA) via email was also always a delight. Jake made our ceremony feel exactly how we had wanted it to - relaxed without taking away the importance of the event. Any of our guests that mentioned Jake after spoke about how well spoken and entertaining he was. Jake told every story and spoke about our relationship in a way that felt like he genuinely understood us. He was professional and the ceremony was pretty much perfect thanks to him! We would book him a thousand times over and will be recommending him to anyone who will listen. Thanks so much Jake for being part of our special day and making it even more wonderful!
