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 🙌🏼❤️ Rosanna Shand2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jay is amazing! Such a lovely guy and super down to earth with his chilled out vibes. Made our ceremony super special by helping us through the process with our vows etc. Definitely recommend anyone have him as their celebrant! Tim Ashton2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Ali Prowse2025-01-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! Leona Te Nahu2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jay was absolutely amazing our ceremony was none the less perfect. Jay provided a seamless, fun and engaging experience for all our guests and ourselves. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jays services he was a delight to have as our celebrant. Rhiannon Wordsworth2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Patricija Užusienytė2024-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you! Matt & Les.
You officially have a big day marked on the calendar.
Let me start off by saying, congratulations, I can practically feel your excitement jumping through the screen.
But now that you’ve found the perfect partner, you’ll need the perfect wedding celebrant.
That’s where I can help out.
Let me guess, you’ve always pictured your wedding day…
Sun shining down on you and your partner, maybe surrounded by flowers, maybe surrounded by nature or standing in a church, sharing the moment with the people you love the most.
Well, it can be that way! Read on to learn what you need to make sure your day goes off without a hitch and how to have the wedding of your dreams.
Many individuals don’t know how to choose a wedding celebrant.
And that makes sense, it’s unlikely any of us have more than a handful of experiences doing just that.
By choosing your celebrant early you can be assured that the dull and dry legalities of your wedding are taken care of in advance – and that’s how you start to reduce some of those pre-wedding stresses.
Choosing a celebrant in advance can also mean you are assisted by the experience this person has (that makes me sound old when really it means I’ve helped hundreds of couples declare their love for one another) in the form of suggestions, from which vows to say to wedding suppliers, and a wonderfully calming presence on the day.
As an experienced and down-to-earth celebrant I can provide a list of items that need to be ticked off through the process of preparing your wedding, ensuring no important steps are missed along the way.
What makes a good wedding celebrant? Great question!
Whether you want to opt for an elopement or a more traditional wedding, a wedding celebrant should be reflective of the values you want to celebrate on your special day.
A good celebrant should be passionate about the process of marriage and treat your wedding with authenticity. Remember, the goal is to do this once – so let’s get it right!
A good celebrant will not only be fun, enthusiastic and sincere but also a helpful guide through the process.
The formalities of marriage are as equally important as the fun of the special day – but that’s where I can help by taking care of the boring stuff for you.
I’ve got much more that I can bring to the day, but this isn’t about me, it’s about you, so let’s have a chat and see how we can make your day magic.
As a wedding celebrant, I believe your ceremony should be as unique as your love story. Here’s how I can help you craft the perfect ceremony:
Whether you dream of a traditional wedding with all the trimmings, a quirky celebration that breaks the mold, or an intimate elopement in a breathtaking location, I’ll help bring your vision to life. From grand cathedrals to secluded beaches, I’m here to make your dream a reality.
We’ll work closely together to design a ceremony that captures your personalities, values, and beliefs. Your ceremony should be a true reflection of your journey as a couple.
Explore symbolic gestures that resonate with you, from handfasting and sand ceremonies to cultural traditions and personalised vows. These rituals add depth and significance to your ceremony.
Include special readings, and poems or involve loved ones through readings or musical performances. These personal touches make your ceremony even more special and memorable.
I’m experienced in crafting ceremonies honouring diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, ensuring an inclusive and respectful celebration. Love is love, no matter where you come from or what you believe.
While a registry office wedding is quick and simple, choosing a wedding celebrant like me offers a more personalised, flexible, and emotionally resonant experience. Here’s why:
Ultimately, choosing a wedding celebrant is about creating an unforgettable experience that celebrates your love in a way that is authentic, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
Your wedding is about you – not about the kind of celebrant you hire.
I help you celebrate any kind of wedding that you want; from religious, humanist, civil ceremonies, to modern and themed ceremonies and last-minute romantic elopements. I have all the tools and the experience to make your ceremony fit perfectly to your style.
You can bring your ideas directly to me and we can work through what kind of style you would like together, or let me do the leg work and offer you a variety of options.
I have a large portfolio of examples to work from that can spark some ideas for your big day.
Getting married in Australia is not as complicated as many might think. There is, however, still a formal contract between two people. With any paperwork, it helps to have someone around who can cut through the jargon and give it to you straight.
As your wedding celebrant i’ll help you with all the important forms to review, sign and have witnessed before you can formally tie the knot.
As a marriage celebrant i’ve worked with hundreds of wonderful couples so I’m well-versed in handling the marriage paperwork that can be a little overwhelming for people experiencing them for the first time.
The services I help couples through include:
Wondering how much a wedding celebrant costs? I appreciate that keeping your budget under control can be a major concern.
My motto is – don’t pay for a bigger wedding celebrant, pay for a better one.
The truth is, wedding celebrants don’t have to cost the world. I provide a meaningful service to couples that is affordable and fair, and regardless of how many questions you might have about my role as celebrant, you’ll never pay extra for reaching out to grab some answers.
Midday or midnight, shoot me an email or pick up the phone and we’ll get your issue sorted.
As each ceremony cost differs due to a list of wedding variables, I provide a thorough quoting process up-front and free-of-charge so that you can feel comfortable choosing the right celebrant for your special occasion.
Looking for a great value price? I’ll give you one over the phone!
In today’s day and age, wedding costs can quickly spiral out of control.
Why not combine roles to cut down on costs but not on quality?
I’m more than happy to continue on throughout the night as your wedding MC if you’re in need.
Not only will you save yourself some money (hello honeymoon splurge!) but you’ll also feel comfortable knowing someone you trusted to guide your ceremony will be there to guide your reception.
