Jake made our ceremony so special. Working with him and his super efficient team in the lead up to the wedding was so easy. The team know their stuff and don't make the admin side of getting married feel like a chore.

Jake perfectly captured the relaxed, upbeat and friendly vibe we wanted for our ceremony and made us both feel instantly at ease. You can tell he really cares!

Also highly recommend the Insta reel as a fun piece of content to help relive wonderful memories.

Jake, you absolute legend. You were simply the best. The atmosphere that you created at our ceremony was better than we could have ever dreamt. The way that you walked us through everything, how calm you were, and how personable you are made our experience that much more special. Thank you for giving us such a memorable and funny start for the rest of our lives. We are so blessed to have had you.

Thank you so much for leading a wonderful ceremony. It was so much fun. I felt so relaxed.

Didn’t expect to laugh so much. It was wonderful.

Everyone said that you made the ceremony epic and were calling you 007 because you were so smooth and look like Daniel Craig. What a compliment!

Jake was the first vendor we booked right after our venue. We were initially a bit confused about how to go about picking the right celebrant for us. We found Jake after a quick google search but loved him from our first impression of him on his website. He came off genuine, lively, charming & passionate and he absolutely is all of those things. About 30 seconds into our initial phone call we knew we wanted to book him and we never doubted we'd made the right choice. Any questions we had or anything we were confused about was always responded to very quickly and speaking to Lainey (Jake's PA) via email was also always a delight. Jake made our ceremony feel exactly how we had wanted it to - relaxed without taking away the importance of the event. Any of our guests that mentioned Jake after spoke about how well spoken and entertaining he was. Jake told every story and spoke about our relationship in a way that felt like he genuinely understood us. He was professional and the ceremony was pretty much perfect thanks to him! We would book him a thousand times over and will be recommending him to anyone who will listen. Thanks so much Jake for being part of our special day and making it even more wonderful!

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!

Thank you so much for making our day so very special. The ceremony was absolutely amazing and we loved every second of it. There really aren’t words for how wonderful the experience was. We also had multiple people tell us it was the best ceremony they’d ever seen and that they thought you were just incredible (as did we too of course).

Both of us said to each other afterwards that speaking to you before and throughout the ceremony put us at ease and you really helped us to be in the moment and enjoy it.
Thank you so much for organising everything, we would recommend you to anyone.

When I had the first meeting with my wedding planner at Gabbinbar, she asked me if I have found a celebrant, I was super stressed at that time because I only had 3 months to organize the wedding and I really have no idea about where to start, especially looking for most essential part of the wedding – a celebrant. I told the wedding planner that I want someone who can make the vibe chill and relaxed, I told her I saw this guy’s photo from Gabbinbar’s webpage and I really really like his smile and this is the kind of person I would love to have. Without showing the picture to my planner, she said try to ask Jake if he is available on the day. I went home and google Jake and damn! This is the guy with the big smile from the Gabbinbar page!! And how lucky we are that Jake is available on our big day! We are so grateful to have him.

I have to be honest that Jake really asks a lot from the ceremony kit, but this really made me feel that this man really knows what he is doing and he really likes to get things organized. Jake came to say hi to me when I was getting ready and making sure I know all the details of the ceremony. He knows that I planned my wedding in 3 months and the amount of reassurance and support he gave me is really priceless, Jake kept telling me “ Vicky, I am here to make you not to stress, you don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy your day”

We had Jake as our MC as well, initially I was thinking that having a MC who only speaks English can be a bit difficult for us, as most of my family don’t speak English very well. But Jake did an amazing job at every single moment of our big day. Even my Grandma who doesn’t even understand any English said “Jake is very professional and he is really really really good, I Like him!!”

There was a little episode of little incident when people let my husband drinking too much and I got a bit cranky, Jake just followed me when I was about to lose my shit and he told me things will be fine, don’t stress, just have a deep breath and enjoy the rest of the night.

Jake is just perfect! He will meet all your need, word can not describe how wonderful he is, don’t wait, don’t hesitate, if he is available on your big day, just get him get him get him!!!! I really don’t think I will get married again, but having Jake for our wedding is one of the best decision I have ever made! I have already told all the other couple friends around us to get Jake as their celebrant, because there is no one better than him!! Jake we loved you so much!! Thank you 1000 times XX.

Jake was amazing from the start. The communication and detail he put in was perfect, he knew what to do and what was important, so our ceremony was perfect. On the day he was efficient and on time and had everything ready to go. He put together our ceremony just perfectly from the information we had given him every detail was not missed and we couldn’t thank him enough, if you are looking for the perfect celebrant, this is your guy! Thank you again Jake!

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.

So where do I begin? Jake was recommended by our venue and being the typical girl, I scrolled through videos listening to voices of celebrants trying to find someone who had a genuine warmth and presence about them and I kept getting drawn back to Jake.

This was only the start, meeting Jake in person, honestly he’s a true professional. His warmth, charisma and the way he engages and brings a room together is nothing short of amazing. We’re a pretty laid back couple but your wedding day can be quite overwhelming he made sure the both of us were calm and settled but made sure we were having fun too! And not to mention so attentive to us throughout the whole day as well as our family and guests!

I am telling you there is no one else I would book, not only were we so impressed all our guests continued to mention how great he was.

You are truly one of a kind Jake and we feel so blessed that we got to share our magical day with you, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts
