Jess created such a thorough and unique ceremony and helped us find unique ways to tailor our ceremony to match our personalities. We loved that she brought a relaxed vibe and Included humour. We loved having Jess with us for our big day and would recommend her to everyone and anyone - she is a pro!' - Hugh and Jess x

'Highly, Highly Recommend Jess! My Husband and I agree that the ceremony was our favourite part of our wedding day because of Jess. She customised the ceremony, making us laugh, cry and everything in between and it felt like a friend recounting our love story and not another celebrant reading off a script.

Her professionalism leading up to the event was second to none, always answering questions quickly, assisting with the vow and name changing structure, she was a support through the entire process. A celebrant truly sets the tone of the wedding and I’m SO glad we picked Jess!' -

Let's Get Legal

The bare MINIMUM - $600

Your House or Mine? Beach, park or restaurant? Whether you’ve just returned from a wedding celebration overseas or you’re simply looking to make things official, the Legals Only package is perfect for you. Think of it as a registry wedding, but with your own twist—you choose the location, the witnesses, and the time that suits you best.

All we need is a spot to meet up, something to lean on, and two witnesses to sign the paperwork - and you don't even have to know them ;)

And because I can’t help but sprinkle a little magic into the moment, I’ll throw in a short, sweet something to make it feel special.

Just a heads up, this option excludes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. Let’s keep it easy and memorable!

January 2023

You need Jess as your celebrant. Simple as that! Jess is down to earth and very easy to get along with. She is real - which was very important to us when choosing someone to play such a large role in our wedding day. Everything with Jess ran super smoothly from start to finish and we cannot thank her enough for being so special to us.
