Absolutely unreal! The entire process was straight forward and simple! Made our ceremony relaxed and got everyone laughing! Jake really took a weight off our shoulders on the day! We were so pleased and excited to have been married by Jake. He provided such a warm and friendly vibe and gave very clear instructions. We wanted our ceremony to be raw, authentic, funny, with a family feel, and he delivered exactly that. He has been incredibly helpful every step of the way and worked in with us when the plans changed a few times. Thank you so much, Jake!

Boy does this guy KNOW weddings!

We wanted a small, intimate wedding that showcased our personalities, but which also told a story of our two beings becoming one.

Jake really delivered on all fronts as our Celebrant, but he really goes above and beyond to get to know you both as individuals, and not only what brought you together but what binds you as a couple.

Our ceremony ran so smoothly, and the little words of reassurance, guidance, encouragement and support (and congratulations!) throughout were really special and a super nice touch.

Thanks so much Jake for leading us through the marriage-wedding-maze.

You made our day that much more special.

Jake was the perfect celebrant for our intimate wedding day. He delivered a ceremony and MC experience that was personalised, heart-warming and joyous. His professionalism was exceptional and we appreciated the way he navigated us through each of the moments throughout the day. Furthermore, his support in the lead-up to the day was unparalleled. We’ve received so many compliments on his services and we would (and will!) recommend him to anyone.

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.

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!

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 amazing from the start. The communication and detail he put in was perfect, he knew what to do and what was important, so our ceremony was perfect. On the day he was efficient and on time and had everything ready to go. He put together our ceremony just perfectly from the information we had given him every detail was not missed and we couldn’t thank him enough, if you are looking for the perfect celebrant, this is your guy! Thank you again Jake!

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

We could not have imagined somebody more perfect to make it all official on our big day. The whole process was so easy and stress-free because we knew we were in good hands. The ceremony was heartwarming, intimate with just the right amount of humour - our guests were all raving about how good our celebrant was! So thank you, Jake, from the bottom of our hearts.

The ceremony was everything we had hoped for. All of our guests commented after how amazing Jake was, how comfortable they all felt, and how ‘us’ the ceremony was. Jake made the process smooth an easy. He was professional at every point and made us feel so comfortable during the ceremony. He listened to our wishes and delivered 110% on the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

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!
