OVERVIEW

The Vibe Check

  • Your Story, Zero Cringe: Modern storytelling that actually sounds like you.
  • The No-Panic Vow: No awkward "repeat after me" stumbles or microphone hovering.
  • More Than a Celebrant: I’m your Micro-MC and vibe-coordinator until the party kicks off.
  • Like a Best Friend: A relaxed, funny, and "at ease" energy that feels like we’ve known each other for years.

Forget the copy-paste scripts and the awkward dictionary definitions of love.

I’m Jess and I’m here to make sure your ceremony feels like a core memory instead of a legal chore.

Think of me as the friend who has known you for years who just happens to be authorized to marry you.

My style is Relaxed, Relatable, and Real.

I don't do boring lectures. I just give you the perfect balance of humor and heart.

The "No-Stress" Vows

I have officially banned that awkward "repeat after me" struggle.

You won’t be freaking out about what to say or staring at a microphone.

I have modernized the flow and blended the legal bits in so you can just be present.

All you have to do is read. I have got the rest.

Beyond the "I Do's" (Micro-MC & Vibe Control)

Most celebrants vanish the second the papers are signed. I don’t.

I offer Micro-MC services to bridge that gap between the ceremony and the reception.

I stay to manage the PA and herd your guests so everyone knows exactly where the champagne is.

I am there to keep the energy high and the stress low until your reception officially starts.

'Jess made our ceremony absolutely amazing and was a genuine delight to work with. She is so so friendly and really down to earth. By the time we got to our wedding day, my husband and I felt like jess was more of a friend than our celebrant. 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

Let's Get Legal

The bare MINIMUM 

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!

You bet! I’ve got a solid portable PA system to make sure everyone hears your vows loud and clear, and I can play all your ceremony music too. Just pass me the playlist, and I’ll take care of the rest.

If you’re going for an unplugged ceremony, I’m happy to give your guests a friendly nudge to pop their phones away. That way, they’re totally present and not watching through a screen!

As many as you like! I’m all for a good chat (or a coffee catch-up) to plan your ceremony, but we can also do most things online if that’s easier. Whatever keeps it fun and easygoing!

If there’s an invite, I’ll never say no! Whether it’s a glass of bubbles or a quick coffee, I love sticking around to celebrate with my couples - it’s one of the best parts of the day.

I’m up for any adventure, and if there’s a special place that means something to you, let’s do it there!

No stress at all! I’ll craft a ceremony that keeps you relaxed and lets your love story shine. No need to memorise anything - I’ll handle the flow so you can focus on the moment.

Too right! I’ll be there early to meet guests, test the gear, and make sure everything’s smooth sailing so you can just relax and enjoy the day.

words cannot describe how much we adore Jess. Such an amazing soul and celebrant and our process / day would not have gone the same without her. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple and as people. Jess married us a week ago and I honestly cannot be any more grateful for her than I already am. I not only had a great experience but hopefully gained a friend. Can't wait to catch up next time you're in brissy girlfriend. Bring on some bevies. Thanks again beautiful for such a great experience. Xx

Oh wow, I’m sitting here with the biggest smile—thank you so much for those beautiful words! It was truly an honor to be a part of your special day, and getting to know you both was an absolute joy. I’m so grateful our paths crossed, and the thought of gaining a friend along the way makes it all the sweeter. You know I’ll be in Brissy with bells on for those bevies! Can’t wait to catch up and relive the magic over a drink or two. Sending all my love and a big cheers to you both! Xx

November 2024

We recently had Jess marry us and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough! Jess’ communication throughout the whole process was clear and the pre wedding questionnaire was really straightforward. We had many questions from our guests asking how we knew Jess and if she was a friend of ours, because of how well she relayed our story during the ceremony. Jess made us feel so comfortable and we really loved having her as a part of our day.

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.
