Jake proved to be more than just a celebrant – he was an unexpected highlight of our whole celebration. Uncertainty was my first response when my then-fiancé text me to share he had found and booked our celebrant without running it by me! However, a single click was all it took to understand the zero hesitation, with us very quickly asking Jake to also be our MC.
Jake's role in our journey wasn't confined to just the formalities; he was the calm in our storm of pre-wedding jitters. The art of making two spotlight-averse people look forward to being the centre of attention is no small task, but Jake made this seem effortless. On the day of our vows, his ability to weave intimacy, personal anecdotes, and humour into our ceremony made for a lasting memory, not just for us, but for every guest present.

Transitioning into the evening, Jake’s role evolved from celebrant to MC . He connected with our guests as if they had known him for years. His intuitive timing and engaging humour brought structure and joy to our celebration, effortlessly coordinating games and interactions that brought laughter and a light-hearted spirit to the room. All that was left for us to do was enjoy the day.

Jake’s exceptional presence has left a lasting impression, with guests continuing to speak of his role in our wedding today. To say he exceeded our expectations would be an understatement; he redefined them. For any couple getting married, especially those who may be nervous, Jake is not just a recommendation – he is a must!

I honestly cannot begin to express how amazing Jake was throughout our entire process of getting married. In terms of planning our day, Jake made every step so smooth and simple, and for two people who really struggle with making final decisions this was invaluable to us! From helping us organise the ceremony, to giving us advice on how to write our vows, to providing suggestions on how to improve the run sheet - Jake was there every step of the way and made everything so easy. On the actual day, we received non-stop compliments on how amazing Jake was. Our guests could not stop raving about how effortlessly funny he was, and how he really brought the energy to our ceremony and reception. Jake honestly went above and beyond for us, checking in constantly to see how we were feeling and to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, and also offering to run to the 7/11 to get more batteries for our camera! You could tell he was there to ensure everything was about my husband and I and that we were at the centre of every decision he made, and we can’t thank him enough for that. We will recommend Jake as a celebrant/MC to anyone who will listen. Thanks so much for everything!!

Jake was the perfect fit for our wedding. Not only did an amazing job as our celebrant on the day, but he also sorted all the paperwork for us pre and post wedding which was such an amazing help! Based on a few guidelines from us, Jake put together a beautiful ceremony with a perfect mix of humour, light-heartedness, and seriousness. He kept us relaxed and enjoying the ceremony throughout. We cannot thank Jake enough for putting together such a beautiful ceremony and most importantly for marrying us! Thank-you Jake!

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!
