Where do we begin! Jay was amazing from the very beginning. We instantly felt at ease as soon as we met him and on our wedding day he made the process so smooth and calm. The way he reads the room made our ceremony feel so authentic and every one of our guests told us how amazing he was. He made the day so special and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. Jay you are so good at what you do!!! So glad we chose you to MARRY US!! Thank you 🙌🏼❤️

Jay is a consummate professional. He made the whole process of getting married immensely easy (and fun!). His personality is very laid back which we loved and kept us relaxed. Many of our guests were asking if he was an old family friend given how he ran the show. I couldn’t recommend Jay highly enough for those getting married in Noosa or Sunshine Coast.

Jay was the celebrant for our wedding in December. We had so many guests say how great the ceremony was and even a few who asked whether he was a family member or friend of ours because he took the time to get to know us so well. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Jay was THE best, leading up to our wedding, on the day, and after. He’s such a friendly bloke, and so relaxed and fun. He guided us through the paperwork, helped us with our vows, was super organised, calm and supportive throughout the whole process. Jay was awesome with our young son, and gave our guests the giggles. We really enjoyed the time we spent with Jay and are so grateful that he was the one who married us. Thanks Jay, so much for being our amazing celebrant! Big cheers, Rhi and Dave

Where to start with Jay? From the first time we met before our wedding day until right to the end, Jay made us feel at ease and nothing was a problem. We had 4 celebrants to choose from and Jay was our first and only pick…. His relaxed laid-back personality is exactly what we were looking for and he didn’t disappoint! He made everyone at our special day feel like they were a part of the moment as much as we were and we couldn’t be happier with the way we became husband and wife! I couldn’t recommend Jay highly enough and you would not be disappointed with the professionalism and service Jay provides to make your special day one to remember! Patricia & Beaudie

Embracing the Noosa Style

“What exactly is the ‘Noosa style’ when it comes to ceremonies?” It’s a question I get asked a lot, and it’s something that’s close to my heart. Noosa isn’t just a place; it’s a feeling, a vibe, and it’s about embracing the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere that this incredible region has to offer.

Relaxed Elegance:

It’s sophisticated without being stuffy. It’s about feeling comfortable and present, allowing the joy of the occasion to shine through.

Connection with Nature:

Noosa is blessed with stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and breathtaking hinterland. A Noosa-style ceremony often incorporates these natural elements, whether it’s a beachfront exchange of vows, a ceremony nestled in the rainforest, or a celebration with panoramic views.

Personal Touch:

Just like any ceremony I create, the Noosa style is deeply personal. It’s about reflecting your unique love story and personality but with that added touch of Noosa’s laid-back charm.

How to Infuse Your Ceremony with the Noosa Vibe:

  • Beachside Bliss:
    Noosa's beaches provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic and unforgettable ceremony. Imagine saying "I do" with the sound of the waves crashing gently in the background and the sand between your toes.
  • Rainforest Romance:
    For a more intimate and magical setting, consider a ceremony surrounded by the lush greenery of the Noosa hinterland. The natural beauty of the rainforest creates a sense of serenity and wonder.
  • Hinterland Harmony:
    Noosa’s hinterland offers rolling hills, stunning views, and charming venues. A ceremony in this setting can combine rustic charm with natural elegance.
  • Local Flora and Fauna:
    Incorporate native flowers and foliage into your decorations. This is a beautiful way to connect with the local environment and add a unique touch to your ceremony.
  • Live Music:
    Choose music that complements the Noosa vibe. Think acoustic tunes, chilled-out beats, or a local musician playing your favourite songs.

What a Wedding Celebrant Does

What does a wedding celebrant do? A wedding celebrant plays a crucial role in your big day. They’re the one who officiates your wedding ceremony, ensuring it’s not only a beautiful and memorable experience but also legally binding. Think of them as the conductor of your wedding orchestra, bringing your unique vision to life. Whether you’re dreaming of a traditional ceremony, a quirky celebration, or something unique, your celebrant is there to guide you. But a celebrant’s role goes far beyond just the legalities. It’s about crafting an experience.

Creating the Right Atmosphere

Jay brings the right mix of:
  • Warmth
  • Humour
  • Symbolic rituals
  • Musical Flow
Legal Requirements in Detail
Before you can say ‘I do’ and pop the bubbly, there’s some essential legal paperwork to sort out. Don’t worry, though! Your celebrant will guide you through this process. First up is the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). This is the legal document that declares your intention to get hitched. You can download this form online, but it’s super important that it’s signed by both of you and witnessed by your chosen celebrant. This needs to happen between 18 months and one month before your wedding day. Getting this done ensures you’ve ticked all the legal boxes well in advance, which helps reduce pre-wedding stress significantly. On your wedding day, your celebrant will handle all the legal bits and pieces during the ceremony. This includes the ‘Monitum,’ which is a legal statement explaining the nature of marriage, and those all-important declarative and contractual statements where you and your partner officially say ‘I do.’ After the ceremony, your celebrant will lodge all the necessary paperwork with the Births, Deaths & Marriages registry to register your marriage legally. This includes your signed NOIM, the official marriage certificate, and any other relevant documents. They’ll also make sure you receive a commemorative certificate as a lovely keepsake of your special day.
Now, let’s talk about the heart of the ceremony. Jay Flood, your Noosa wedding celebrant, is a true master of storytelling. He believes your wedding ceremony should be so much more than just a legal formality; it should be a genuine reflection of your unique love story. Jay takes the time to really get to know you as a couple. He’ll delve into your history, your personality, and your dreams for the future. This allows him to craft a personal and engaging ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple. He might weave in sweet anecdotes from your childhood, share the story of how you first met, or highlight those significant milestones in your relationship. He might even include readings or poems that really resonate with your values and beliefs. By incorporating these personal touches, Jay creates a ceremony that is both legally sound and emotionally resonant. It becomes a true celebration of your love story, one that will stay with you and your guests long after the day ends.
Jay also understands that the atmosphere of your ceremony is just as important as the words spoken. He has a real knack for setting the perfect tone, whether you envision a romantic, lighthearted, or formal occasion. If you’re after a relaxed and joyful vibe, Jay’s your man. He’s a master at creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and included. He might use humour to break the ice, carefully selected music to evoke emotion or incorporate symbolic rituals like handfasting or a sand ceremony to add depth and meaning. His warm and genuine personality shines through, putting everyone at ease and creating a truly memorable experience. This relaxed and joyful atmosphere is often referred to as the ‘Noosa style,’ reflecting this beautiful region’s laid-back and celebratory vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions

My fees are mid-range and provide great value for money. I’ll be able to show you exactly where your money is going during our complimentary first meeting. Once we’ve discussed the type of wedding you’re after I’ll be able to provide a more accurate quote. From there, if you’re not happy with the price you’re welcome to keep looking for a celebrant. I’d still love to hear about the wedding!
I am based in Noosa, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Don’t worry if you’re not based in Noosa, I’m happy to travel to help make your wedding unforgettable, so please contact me to find out how I can help.
No way! Your wedding will only happen once (ideally!) so you need to be certain of every wedding supplier you choose. Our first meeting is a chance for us to get to know one another and see if we click. Whether over the phone or face to face you can tell me all about your plans and I’ll do my best to help.
Absolutely. A traditional wedding ceremony is not for everyone. As long as you have submitted your Notice of Intended Marriage Form no earlier than 18 months and no later than a month before your wedding, you will be all set. Don’t forget to arrange for two witnesses over the age of 18 to be present too.
No one knows your relationship better than you and your partner, so it makes sense that you should both have your say. I cringe at generic wedding ceremonies that sound robotic and dry. If you’ve got ideas - whether for your vows, your wedding script, or something else entirely, then I’d love to hear them. Having said that, if you prefer to leave the ceremony planning to me, I’m comfortable with that too.
I typically arrive between 30 minutes to one hour before the ceremony is due to start. This gives me a chance to test the PA, check in with you and your partner, help grandma to her seat - whatever I can do to help!

Yes, I do! I understand that writing your vows can be a daunting task. I'm happy to offer guidance and support to help you craft personal, meaningful vows that reflect your unique love story.
