Jake was truly amazing in every way at our wedding ceremony, everything ran seamlessly. We had many guests compliment his work and the space he was able to hold. His interaction with the audience was perfect and made us feel so comfortable as well. He brought an exceptional energy to the day and we are eternally grateful. He made the process before the wedding smooth, easy and stress free. Most importantly, the container of love that he was able to hold and facilitate during the most precious moments of our lives were beyond words and we will never forget them. Claire and John :)

Jake is an absolute LEGEND!!! He was exactly what we wanted for our wedding celebrant. To us the role of the celebrant is one of the most important and needs to be perfect for us as a couple and the vibe of the event. Jake was everything and more! The experience from start to finish was stress free and easy! We have recommended Jake to everyone we know and he has been used by a family friend who saw him in action on our special day. Highly recommend using 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.

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!

From the moment we saw Jake at my sister-in-laws wedding we knew we wanted him to officiate ours. Throughout the whole planning process Jake was so helpful, friendly and professional in helping us get ready. On the day, officiating our wedding Jake felt like a family member, the way he prepared our ceremony was like he was there through it and it brought us back to those early days of dating. Jake made us feel so comfortable, and gave us tips on how to relax and enjoy the day and overall he just brought such a fun energy. Jake was so warm and friendly to all of our friends and family and they even thought he was family too. We also had Jake as our MC and the reception continued to be just as amazing, everything ran so smoothly and he gave us the exact vibe we wanted. The whole day was absolutely perfect and we are so glad we were able to have Jake be apart of it. Thanks again Jake, we will never forget the part you played in our wedding.

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.

What a weekend it was... we spent 9mths planning a stunning wedding with all our closest friends and family out in the scenic rim and were so excited to have Jake as both our celebrant and MC. Everything leading up to our day seemed to be going wrong due to covid, supply issues, distribution stock levels at all time lows etc. We got a little rain throughout the week but that's good luck! The day of our wedding came and it was full steam ahead. Sitting in the makeup chair I got the call our venue was flooded in and our day was cancelled.

Never fear! Jake was here! Our bridal party swung into action calling all our vendors to relocate to where I, the bride, stayed the night prior. Jake arrived with energy and enthusiasm lifting all our spirits. Our ceremony went off without a hitch. We even noticed the finest detail of our wedding certificate location updated! He thought of everything whilst we were in a state of shock and the day went in a blur. Words cannot describe how grateful we are for everything he did to make our plan b (that was planned in mere hours) run even better than our original plans... after our ceremony Jake helped ferry our guests through the rain to the local pub and ensure everyone was seated with a hot meal and drink in hand. What could've been a disaster turned out to be a dream wedding that we'll never forget. After such an eventful day we were shattered and needed to call the night off earlier than planned. I still have the image in my mind of Jake soaked from the rain as he ran through the streets looking for our coach service to take our guests back to their accommodation. Jake you went above and beyond, taking the weight off our shoulders and we would highly recommend him to anyone planning their big day. If we had our day over again we wouldn't change a thing!

We couldn't have been more happy with how our day turned out and Jake made our whole experience that much more magical. He was there every step of the way and as a bride with a million questions running through my mind, Jake was there to answer each one and calm every nerve. We recieved many compliments from our guests on how amazing our Celebrant was and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone who asked. Thanks again Jake for being a part of our magical day! You really out did yourself! You were sensational and we could not have picked a better person to lead us and our guests through the day! We are so appreciative of all your efforts, thank you so much!!

Jake was fantastic, from the first moment we spoke with him. He walked us through what we could expect from him and what he could do for us. Jake could instantly tell that we were laid-back and easy going and that’s what we wanted (along with lots of laughter) from our ceremony. Jake made everything so easy for us and we were laughing so much that the time flew by. We can't thank Jake enough for making our day so much fun. We had so many people come and complement us on our Ceremony. You were awesome Jake and everyone loved all the personal touches that really made the day special. Thanks Luke & Becky

JAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEE!! How is it even possible for a human to be as awesome as you? (And yes, I am screaming your name in an energiser bunny enthusiastic excited way - not to be mistaken for angry capitals).

You know in the Wizard of Oz, at the end of the movie when Dorothy finally gets around to the scarecrow and says that she’s going to miss him the most of all? In a way, this is how I feel about you and the important part you played in making our day everything that we dreamed of! For me personally, having a Wedding SHOULD BE about the ceremony, it's about announcing to the world the commitment that two people are making to each other. And for me, that’s why having the perfect celebrant was so important. I really wanted our celebrant to be someone who had that same opinion first and foremost, would make our ceremony fun and lighthearted, but emotional all at once. I seriously don’t know how you do it, but you did all of the above, and more. You absolutely nailed it!

To begin, from the minute we enquired with you we felt so special, we were sold! It was like the KFC ad, ’take my money!’ haha. You made the entire process incredibly simple. Your communication is clear and includes everything we had to do and by when. Thank you for that!

Fast forward to the day…

The wonderful demeanour that you had when you greeted my parents and I in my room prior to the ceremony, brought me so much joy and excitement. And whenever we glanced at you during the ceremony you had the biggest smile on your face and it definitely projected the most incredible energy into the room.

The ceremony that you put together for us was perfect and you delivered it seamlessly. We really loved that you don’t recommend a rehearsal, although a little nervous to begin with, but it was so exciting hearing the ceremony for the first time on the day. We can’t wait to watch the ceremony from the guests perspective when we receive the footage.

In short Jake, you are THE BOMB.

Being Married By Jake is a blessing... Jake may say that he feels blessed marrying you, but it is the couples that he marries that are truly blessed. His ability to share stories that transport people to that point in time is one of a kind, and the energy that he projects through the room is exhilarating. We would pick Jake a thousand times over to officiate our wedding and no words could possibly sum up how thankful we are for the part Jake played in our special day ♡

Jake was amazing from start to finish. From the first email he made us feel at ease and involved in the process and helped us create our perfect wedding. It was clear he was experienced as a celebrant as he helped us with last minute changes due to the weather and hiccups on the day. He made everyone feel relaxed and part of the occasion and even family watching through livestreams on the other side of the world commented on how great he was. We couldn’t recommend Jake highly enough, he was great and gave us an amazing wedding!

We had Jake as our celebrant and MC for our wedding over the weekend at Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens and he did not disappoint! His whole demeanour is confident yet comforting, you can rest assured that he has everything under control, to ensure you have more time to relax and enjoy your big day. The moment I stepped out of my bridal car, Jake was there to meet me and make me feel at ease about everything! May I add that Jake not only has an AMAZING, funny and kind personality, but he also has an epic wardrobe - which he made sure he fit in with the theme perfectly. Jake - thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. You made our big day one to remember, and I can honestly say we have had so many guests comment on how awesome you were! Anyone sitting on the fence about which celebrant or MC to use for your big day - Jake is your man!!!! Thanks again, Olivia & Matt Hawkins

Jake is the best of the best! We were so lucky to secure him for the day because he truly made our ceremony so personal and special! He helped us organise the legal side of things by taking us through it, step by step. He let us customise our ceremony so that the words he said wholeheartedly reflected our relationship, values, and views about marriage. He took our stories and retold them in an authentic and special way. He truly nailed the feel of our ceremony and made our guests feel so welcome and excited. We told Jake we wanted our guests to laugh and cry and boy did he deliver! It was the little details, such as having our guests cheer for us as we walked down the aisle, that made the day feel so wholesome and fun and we could not have done the ceremony without him. I could not recommended Jake enough!
