Jake made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. He made the ceremony so much fun and exactly what we wanted. I can't speak more highly of Jake's work.

What a ride! After 10 years, we finally took the plunge and said I do. And it was bloody fantastic! Jake was amazing! He took the time to know and learn about us, and fully customise our ceremony to our taste and style. It was completely us. Jake was professional, yet relaxed, warm and just perfect. Jake went above and beyond, he even folded my hubby's pocket square for him! Thank you Jake for making our elopement truly special, we absolutely loved working with you!

We were initially a bit stressed arriving at the beach but once Jake came over to see us he instantly made us feel so relaxed. Would definitely recommend Jake to any family or friends in the future… Made our wedding extra special.
Cassie and Brendan
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.

Jake gave what we can only call a perfect ceremony. He made sure to learn about us, what style we liked and our taste, then produced something fully customised to us. It was very intimate and romantic with a touch of humour throughout. We felt every word that he said to our core and he was able to get us to experience every second of every moment to its fullest. We will never forget the experience that Jake was able to give on our elopement. Thank you, Jake, for making our dream wedding come true!

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!
Shaun and Meg
Jake made our ceremony so relaxed and easy going. We were both so nervous about being in front of a bunch of people, but Jake put us at ease with his fun loving nature. Everyone has raved about Jake following our wedding and we cannot thank him enough for all the effort he put in. We are so glad that Jake was our celebrant and will cherish the memories forever. Love Shaun and Meg x

From the moment we had our first enquiry call with Jake, we were both sold on his genuine, friendly, and happy-go-lucky demeanour. He took time to get to know us and delivered a ceremony that was everything we both wanted. Jake made getting married easy, he not only took all the stress out of the ceremony but out of the legal side of things too. Leading up to the day, we were confident that Jake would deliver a ceremony that reflected our relationship and our different beliefs in an easy going and warm manner based on our conversations with him. However, he delivered more than either of us could have imagined. It was the most beautiful, light hearted, funny yet romantic ceremony and we owe it to Jake. The way Jake engaged not only with us but my daughter, our bridal party and guests, was something else. He has this ability to make you feel incredibly calm and happy. Its infectious! If you want a celebrant who is going to make your day magical, look no further! Finding Jake was like finding a pot of gold.

Jake was fantastic. We had so many comments on how amazing our ceremony was. We even had people ask how long Jake had known us, people were shocked when we said 20minutes before we walked down the aisle. We loved working with Jake to put our ideal ceremony together. He gave us heaps of options and ideas that allowed our ceremony to be very personalised to us. Jake really set the tone for our ceremony, he really got the ‘meaningful while still upbeat’ feel we wanted. He provided much need calm to the grooms party when they started to feel the nerves. Jake was also super professional in look but also knows all the photo moments you want and when he should and shouldn't be in them. We feel very privileged that Jake was able to marry us.
Bec and Ed
Thank you, Jake, for making our wedding ceremony so relaxed, fun and personal! Our guests raved about you, and how much they enjoyed our ceremony - thanks to you :) You really listened to what we wanted, and delivered more than we could have hoped for. You came to us via a recommendation, and we will most certainly be recommending you to anyone needing a celebrant!

Whilst Jake is in the business of making great weddings happen, his heart is in the business of helping great marriages happen. Despite having to move our wedding with COVID-19, Jake's availability was always a priority to us for alternative dates due the genuine connection we had had with him. Jake was so supportive during the whole process, using his vast experience with people, weddings and postponements to tell what we needed to hear at various points. It wasn't until we watched the videos of our day that we truly appreciated what Jake did for us. Not only was he supportive of us in the lead up to the ceremony, but constantly spoke with us and key family members throughout the day to ensure things went smoothly. Our guests constantly commented on his energy and how refreshing it was at a wedding. His ability to take what he knew of us and work it in to the ceremony and reception made it like we'd known him for years. If you're a couple in love, looking to get married and Jake is free on your chosen date, lock him in. Your relationship will be better for it.
Jake really cares for people and understands what it takes to make a great marriage! His guidance and support through the rollercoaster journey of ‘trying to get married’ in 2020 & ‘finally making it happen’ in 2021 has been second to none. We can’t thank Jake enough for making our special day feel so energetic, yet calm. We wouldn’t want anyone else to be the person to marry us!
Thank you doesn't do it justice, but we are both truly very grateful. Not just for what you did on the day or for the things you helped us with in the lead up (it was a lot and incredibly calming)... but for being a person genuinely interested in the love shared between others and helping ensure that is fostered in to a healthy marriage. May that be something you can hold on to when postponements get you down.

Jake, Thankyou so much for making our special day amazing, you made it run so smoothly and fun and you gave us the time to enjoy it. How you kept checking on us and the guests was spectacular, you kept us so calm and made sure everyone was having a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better person to be our MC and Celebrant.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for your wedding, Jake is worth everything and our day was so perfect and magical. It all ran so perfectly from start to finish. The BEST celebrant out there, if you are looking for someone to make your ceremony personal, simple and fun he is your guy. Our guests were amazed by Jake and thought he was a part of our friendship group; that is how good he is at getting to know you. Our day couldn’t be as perfect without you Jake thank you for everything
Craig and Carissa
Jake was extremely professional and calming throughout the whole process. He provides lots of experience and helpful insight throughout the journey. In person, Jake is exactly as he appears in all of his marketing material. He is friendly, approachable, warm and kind. Jake was able to tell our story in a genuine way, without pretending he’d known us for years. This made our ceremony all the more special. Our guests all complimented how amazing our celebrant was in making a fun and memorable ceremony. We will be recommending Jake to any of our friends in the future who are looking for a celebrant that goes above and beyond. Thank you so much Jake for being a part of our special day and giving us the perfect ceremony.

We made a few enquiries about different celebrants until we found Jake. From the moment he picked up the phone he was professional, caring, and genuinely invested in the way we wanted our ceremony to work. He helped us through an unknown period during COVID, and was very flexible when it came to changing our venue. On the day, he was a calming presence, and kept our guests and ourselves entertained both before, and throughout the ceremony. We cannot recommend Jake enough to make your special day even better than you can think of.

Hi Jake, Monday was perfect and the best day of our lives. Nick and I wanted to thank you so much for marrying us and making our ceremony spectacular. You are awesome!!
Many thanks and take care.
Teresa and Tony
My husband and I can't recommend Jake enough! He is a true gentleman and put us right at ease. Our ceremony was beautiful; and he made sure it ran smoothly. We really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts! Definitely recommend 10/10. Thanks Jake!!
Olivia and Lochlain
Thank you so much. You have been the most helpful and caring celebrant we could have asked for. Lockie and I honestly say that if you weren’t available to be our celebrant we would have moved our date because we have never met a celebrant like you. You are so friendly and caring and when people meet you it’s like they have known you their whole life. We didn’t give you much to work with for the ceremony as we are very casual, relaxed and sarcastic but you turned it into more than we could have imagined. So personal and special while also fun and uplifting. We have received nothing but the most amazing comments on how personal and wonderful you are and we just want to thank you for it all!
Emily and Matt
We could not recommend Jake more highly. He did such an incredible job not only on the day of our wedding, but also in getting us prepared for the day. He gave my husband and I such a sense of calm on one of the biggest days of our lives. We are so thankful to have had him and all our guests loved him too.

If you are looking for a celebrant then settle in to read this novel because you aren't going to read any more reviews after this! My husband and I eloped to Maleny after 'rona did us a bamboozle. Leading up to the day, so many things had gone wrong and on the day we were standing on a hilltop before the ceremony and it was overcast, super windy and our son suddenly burst into tears because he inexplicably, right in that moment, terribly missed our dog! I was standing before the love of my life, about to confess my undying love for him and vow to be with him the rest of my life, but I'll tell you because I'm a frank kinda gal, I was DONE. I wanted to just hurry up and wife this dude and get off that hilltop. Now this is why you NEED Jake as your celebrant; he saved our wedding day. He is a magician, I tell you! I was standing on that hilltop just wanting to get this thing done already, but Jake managed to create something truly special and beautiful for us. He is an amazingly personable man and he was able to bring out all the love and laughter in mine and my now husbands relationship, despite our frustrations with events leading up to the ceremony. With immense warmth and charisma, he reiterated for us why we were doing this and created a bubble for my man and I to really cherish each other, to hell with the weather and wind and everything else! It was so natural and beautiful that my man, who I've only seen cry twice in the 5 years I've been with him, was crying during Jake's words. Jake is also super intuitive and got us to have a hug mid ceremony because we were both becoming a crying mess. He was also mindful of his placement for the best possible photos, which I didn't even think of. His attention to detail is fantastic. He was also an absolute gem entertaining our son after the ceremony so our photographer could get some nice shots of us on the hilltop. This man was made to do weddings and my husband and I could not stop gushing to each other about how great he was. I can't even imagine how amazing Jake would be in a ceremony with guests, because he is the right amount of entertaining while still making everything about the love between the two people standing in front of him. If you are worried about an awkward, stiff ceremony then put your trust in Jake because he will not disappoint you. To finish this novel of a review off, I just want to ensure you don't think Jake has employed bots to write reviews as part of a rigorous marketing overhaul, I am very much a newlywed sitting here sipping coffee with her husband the morning after her wedding, eternally grateful to one incredible celebrant.
