Thank you so much Jake. Best day of our lives. Words cannot describe how Jake made my wife and I feel throughout our wedding ceremony. From the first inquiry response to changing flights to accomodate our wedding time and finally how he conducted our ceremony. He made us feel extremely relaxed but also has the ability to include a lot of love, laughter and fun. All family and friends commented on how fun but still emotional (in a good way) our ceremony was. This is a testament to Jake.

Prompt, friendly, well dressed and professional. Jake is the best celebrant hands down. We were told 'you'll be lucky if Jake is available' so we knew he was good! I had friends ask if Jake was family/friend because of how personal our ceremony was. Jake takes what is important to you and creates the perfect day. I had mentioned I wanted to take in every moment slowly, so Jake made sure that happened (something I otherwise wouldn't have had a chance to do). Family who have been to wedding after wedding said it was the most personal and special ceremony they have ever witnessed. Worth every cent.

Do yourself and your wedding a favour and hire Jake. He was an incredible Celebrant and MC. Ever the professional talking through every step and was able to make us laugh and cry with his kind and beautiful words. We can’t say anymore about him except “Yoda Best”.

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!

Where do I even start with Jake. He feels like a brother from the moment you meet him. He has this warm and super present feeling about him. He is so prepared and organised that any input he has into your wedding is seamless. He is so flexible on the day yet keeps everything moving as it needs to. My husband wore Louis Vuitton loafers to our wedding and after a little push from the groomsmen it was decided my husband would do a “shoey from the louie”. Jake orchestrated the guests to gather around the dancefloor, organised with the dj to play a song which had the words louie louie in it… He’s honestly just a top bloke and you will never regret having him as your celebrant and MC… Do both. He’s so fantastic at what he does. Big love to Jake. Another thing was that we aren’t religious at all. But Jake being a pastor, and writing God bless in his sign offs in his emails had such a wholesome feeling about it all. Both Jake and Lainey are a dream to work with. I wish we could do it all over again.

I couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Jake made the ceremony perfect; light hearted and fun. I was running late and having a slight panic attack and Jake’s calm attitude and beautiful personality calmed me down and ensured I was all good before he started the ceremony.

He caught our eye on an instagram and the whole process of booking, chatting and all the little details were so easy to follow. Jakes preparation, details and advice were amazing.

Honestly if you’re trying to find the best celebrant for your special day then Jake’s your guy!!! Thank you again for making our ceremony so perfect!

On the day he was absolutely fantastic!!! It was like having a friend deliver our ceremony! He had the perfect balance of calm, professional, sentiment and humour. We absolutely loved him and so did our guests!! We received so many compliments about Jake and how well he knew us! A wonderful person and celebrant!

Hi Jake, Corey and I can't thank you enough for being part of the best day of our lives. You made us both feel so calm and at ease on the day so that we could really be present in the moment and soak it all in. I've already been recommending you to our friends who are next to get married. PLUS, your response when we first enquired will go down as THE BEST customer experience I've had to date - customer personalisation done absolutely right!

JAKE IS AMAZING! When we started the search we knew we needed someone who was going to make it personal and deliver the right atmosphere. Jake did this and more! He made the process super easy and our wedding was incredibly special. We honestly couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding and celebrant; Jake is worth every dollar!

Thank you Jake! Our ceremony was perfect and we had so many people say how awesome it was. Your advice was also amazing and helped us really soak in every moment!

An exceptional celebrant who made our day unforgettable! We were truly fortunate to have Jake as our celebrant on our wedding day. From our first interaction, Jake impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine commitment to our needs. His communication throughout the planning process was consistently prompt and clear, making us feel supported and well-informed every step of the way. Jake's expertise shone brightly on our wedding day. He managed the ceremony with elegance, creating a tranquil yet festive atmosphere that captivated us and our guests alike. His ability to blend sincerity with charm made our ceremony feel deeply personal and engaging, reflecting our personalities perfectly. Jake's personable demeanour and keen sense of timing ensured that the ceremony flowed smoothly, even incorporating small, thoughtful touches that made the day uniquely ours. His presence was calming and his execution flawless, helping to alleviate any stress so we could fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion. We are deeply grateful to Jake for not just meeting, but exceeding our expectations. He played a pivotal role in making our wedding day not just successful, but truly magical. We highly recommend Jake to any couple looking for a celebrant who is both personable and genuinely caring. Thank you Jake, for making our day so memorable and special!

Jake was our celebrant and MC for our wedding, and we couldn't recommend him enough! Welcoming from the first phone call, Jake organised everything we needed and supported us all the way until the big day. His fun and energetic nature made our ceremony flow seamlessly into the reception, and left everyone smiling and happy as we closed out the big day. Our family and friends can't stop talking about how great the ceremony and reception was thanks to Married By 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!!

Jake, we can’t even describe how incredible you were. Every single person complimented on how good of a job you did with the whole day.

Jake managed to deliver a heartfelt, personal and entertaining ceremony all while respecting our wishes. He was extremely professional, and worked with us every step of the way to provide us with an experience that we could not fault. Jake also MCed our reception - he kept the night at a perfect tempo and was at ease shifting and pivoting when things didn't go to plan.

To top it off, we received many comments from friends and family asking how long we had known Jake - was he an uncle? An old friend? Much to their surprise, we had not met in person until he was performing the marriage ceremony.

We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Jake for both his celebrant and MC services. Our choice of vendors made our big day as perfect as it could be, and Jake played a big part in this.

We chose Jake to be our celebrant as a recommendation from the elopement collective and we are so happy we did! He was charismatic, personable and kind, our guests felt he was warm and positive, and engaged effortlessly. He put our nerves at ease before the ceremony and because of that felt we could be really present. Thank you Jake, it was such a pleasure meeting you and we are so grateful you married us.

Jake was incredible.

Myself and my now husband had no less than about 10 wedding guests tell me he was the best celebrant they’ve ever seen. Not only did he have everyone enjoying themselves and laughing, but there was also about 5 or 6 occasions where he gave subtle advice that either made an incredible photo, or eased our nerves.

10/10.

From day one Jake was an absolute breeze to work with, he was so responsive to emails and took all of the stress out of the paperwork side of things. Despite not meeting Jake in person until we were standing at the alter it felt as if we’d known him forever. Jake has the most incredible gift in making people feel so calm and cared for. Everyone who attended the wedding said it was the best ceremony they’d ever witnessed, so much joy, laughter, and love was in the chapel that day. They said it was the best and most meaningful wedding ceremony they had ever seen. We are so grateful we had you with us on the most special day of our lives. Thank you Jake… Buckets of love
