We got married over the weekend, and we cannot express how incredible Jake was as our celebrant! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was the perfect fit for our ceremony. So many of our guests complimented how amazing the ceremony was, noting that Jake had the perfect blend of emotion and humour that truly engaged everyone.

Working with Jake was an absolute pleasure; he made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Each vendor we chose was selected with great consideration, and Jake was no exception. It was important for us to have a celebrant who not only engaged our guests but also understood and incorporated our faith and Christian beliefs into the ceremony. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. We wholeheartedly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a talented and personable celebrant. He truly made our day so special!

It's so hard to express in words how wonderful it is to be Married by Jake! After years in the wedding industry, I still remember the first time I experienced one of Jake's ceremonies and knew that he was the only person I could imagine, guiding us beautifully to our I Do's.

To know Jake is to know how kind-hearted, joyous and thoughtful he is as a person. But to watch him in ceremony is to know those things as well, straight away, as his guests and new friends. He has a calm but electric energy and the beautifully intimate atmosphere he creates during your ceremony is unmatched. It's a complete joy to be a bride and groom standing beside him on the day and equally to be a guest.

This review could go on and on with praise, but put simply, there is no one like Jake, he is simply made to do this. Thank you sincerely Jake, it was my favourite part of the day.

Jake was absolutely amazing as our celebrant and MC! So many of our guests came up to us saying how great he was, with some even asking how long we’d known each other because of how much he genuinely cared for us. He also represented our beliefs in a way that was meaningful and personal, which we really appreciated.

Jake provided incredibly helpful suggestions that ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. His attention to detail was spot on—from making sure our names were pronounced correctly to checking in on our family. These little things made such a big difference for us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and MC, and we’re so grateful for the energy and warmth he brought to our day. We would happily recommend Jake to anyone getting married!

We’re at the airport ready to go on our honeymoon, we can finally take a breather and say thank you so much for being our celebrant on our special day. We received SO many compliments on you and the ceremony, and honestly it was even more perfect than I expected. You made me feel calm and relaxed the moment you came into the bridal suite to greet me, and James said you were incredibly relaxing and supportive of him….

We cannot recommend Jake enough! Not only were his services and professionalism next level in the lead up to the wedding and on the day, but his calming presence was invaluable. We received so many compliments on our ceremony thanks to Jake, it really was perfect all thanks to him!

Naomi and I were married by Jake and I cannot overstate his positive impact on the day. His communication, consultation and responsiveness was absolutely stellar, which gave my wife and I absolute confidence in his abilities as a celebrant. Our ceremony was personalised, fun and exactly what we asked for - could not recommend more highly. We received similar comments from many of our guests on the night on the quality of Jake's services.

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.

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!

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

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.

Thank you so much for being a special part of the best day of our lives. Planning a wedding can be stressful and emotional, however from the moment we booked you as our celebrant, there was never a doubt you would make our day incredibly memorable - and boy oh boy did you deliver! We are forever thankful that you brought so much joy, passion, energy and love into our day. You really are spectacular at what you do, and we really can’t thank you enough.

We were blown away by how great you were and how you were able to make it all so fun and flow so smoothly. Sooo many of our guests mentioned how impressed they were with our celebrant/MC and everyone kept asking who you were and where we found you. My brother even asked if you travel interstate for weddings as he is due to get married in the next year or two.

We were very impressed with how you took minor details we mentioned and remembered things to incorporate into your commentary. It all ran so smoothly and your re-assurance, tips and advice on the day made it so much less stressful. We also appreciated your encouragement to play a game at the reception as it made it so enjoyable for everyone. We had so much great feedback! It was so great not to have to worry about finding an MC within our friends or family group so your celebrant and MC package was so convenient!

Where do I start... Jake MADE our wedding day! From the personalisation, attention to detail, to the endless enthusiasm, humour, warmth and genuine care Jake showed us and our guests. There are no words to thank you enough for bringing these qualities to our precious day. Booking Jake as our celebrant and MC was one of our best decisions! I can’t tell you how many people have mentioned our “amazing celebrant/MC” the following day, it was clearly appreciated by our guests. The amount of people who have asked me “which side of the family is Jake related to?” Because with that much personal detail and genuine genuine passion for our day, they assumed he must have been family. If I could leave 100 gold stars I truly would. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you, we could not imagine our day without you.
