Jake, where do I even start! You were one of the best parts of our day. I don't even know how many times I have now been told it was the best wedding they have ever been to and alot of that was because of you!

Steven and I are so incredibly grateful for everything you have done for us. Even from the first point of contact the whole process was so easy! Before the ceremony you came in and helped calm the nerves and during the ceremony we both felt so supported. You checked on us throughout the whole day and made sure everyone knew what they were doing and where they needed to be. You kept the hype going all day long and everyone had so much fun! I will never forget the hype and noise coming from behind that door before we made our entrance into the reception it was incredible! I wish I could rate you more than 5 stars because you deserve so much more than that! Thank you so much Jake, thank you for making it the best day of our lives!!

We chose Jake to be our celebrant and couldn’t be happier with our choice. He nailed the brief of short, sweet and light hearted as that’s who we are and what we wanted for our wedding. Was also an excellent help in writing our vows!

If you are searching for a celebrant, stop at Jake! Jake was able to customise our ceremony to exactly what we wanted - a mix of traditional & contemporary with an upbeat, fun vibe. With wedding season fully upon us , after the ceremony as we did the rounds our guests who were in the depths of wedding planning asked for his details - they were that impressed with him! Jake looked the part on the day & has the most beautiful voice. Don’t look any further!

Jake was absolutely incredible! He made the ceremony feel so fun and enjoyable for everyone which was exactly what we were after. I remember reading so many reviews where people were saying how their guests couldn’t stop talking about Jake at their wedding and it’s so surreal to have now experienced it for my own wedding! Everyone was so impressed with Jake and thought he was the best celebrant they’d every seen (we agree as well!). We will be recommending Jake to all our friends and family as I honestly don’t think there’s a better celebrant out there!

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 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!

Where do I start?! Jake was an absolutely pivotal part of our wedding. Our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without Jake. Jake was so incredible in the way he presented himself, but also how he made us feel. Our ceremony felt effortless, we quite literally felt like we were hanging with friends. He gave us gentle reminders and supportive encouragement, but not once did we feel stressed or overwhelmed throughout the whole experience. Callum and I loved the entire ceremony experience and it really let us be in the moment together and enjoy it! We honestly feel Jake is the reason for this. We kept Jake as our MC as well and the night flowed perfectly. Our friends were so involved and a crazy amount of guests kept coming up to us telling us how incredible Jake was. To know our guests felt the same way we did made us feel on top of the world! Jake was fun, energetic, supportive, encouraging and overall perfect for our day. We are so grateful that we made the decision to have Jake as our MC and celebrant, not just for us but for our guests as well. It is not often you find someone to be a part of your big day, and they fit so perfectly into the group of people, the proceedings of the day and the entire wedding experience for us as bride and groom. Thank-you Jake, we appreciate you more than you’ll ever know!

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.

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!

Jake couldn’t be more helpful throughout the planning phase (including during a pandemic!). His communication was prompt and he made us feel comfortable right from day one. We planned our wedding around when Jake and our venue were available! Jake’s energy is so calming, supportive and fun and it’s like you’ve known him forever. Jake also makes you feel comfortable and informed which calms the nerves. Jake is able to read the room and encourages you to take a breath, soak it all up and be your authentic self. After all, it is your day! If you make a mistake in your vows, start to cry or are stricken with nerves, Jake has a way of making you feel supported, allows you to have a laugh and to forget that heaps of people are watching you and just to enjoy the time with your partner. He also welcomes your family and friends ensuring they’re comfortable and involved. Jake is conscious of how important your wedding day is and ensures that he personalises his words just for you which is an amazing feeling. His professionalism and passion for his job and what his couples want is second-to-none.

Jake, Thank you so much for making our day PERFECT! You were our celebrant, our MC but we also feel like you are family now! We met 2 years ago when we first got engaged and we had to delay our wedding, you were so accommodating in moving the date and we are so grateful! You were so friendly and kind the day we met, and put us at ease straight away. We knew that you were the perfect man for the job! You put together a ceremony that was so perfectly tailored to us, that was so relatable and that had exactly the right atmosphere we always hoped for. Thank you for creating a ceremony that was beautiful, funny and exciting all at the same time! It was just perfect. Thank you for being our MC on the night and making sure we were okay and happy at all times, ensuring that the guests were having the best time and even listening to our speeches to make sure you could make everything personal. You have excellent judgement and you are a great celebrant, MC but also a great man. You are always welcome in the Brown Clan. Thank you so much from Arthur & Emma

From Claire:

From our first encounter with Jake we knew he was going to be our celebrant. His vibrant personality shone through in every interaction we had with him leading up to the day. We were blown away by how incredibly engaging, fun and energetic he was throughout the ceremony and all interactions with us and our guests. Never underestimate the importance of a good celebrant, it can make or break a ceremony and no one could possibly be disappointed with what Jake provides in the lead up and on the day. Thank you Jake for playing such an important part in helping make our day one to remember and for our guests to still be talking about.

From Blair:

Stop your search for a Marriage Celebrant right here. Jake made the whole process in the lead up to our wedding very simple and was amazing from our first interaction. On the day of our wedding, Jake brought a sense of calm and he was genuinely happy to be a part of our day.

He did a great job of ensuring our guests were well informed and just set the tone for the ceremony with his big smile and fun personality. He also knows exactly when to move out of their way so your photographers can capture photos with just you and your partner.

Thanks again for being part of our day Jake. We were blessed to have you there and thanks for ensuring my bow tie was on point at all times.

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.
