I'm a marriage celebrant.
We don't get many chances to celebrate what is important to us with all the key people in our lives in attendance.
Your wedding is one of the few days we get to do this. It should be flexible, creative, simple and original.
Let's celebrate together. I look forward to hearing your stories.

Dear Jason,
I want to thank you for doing the most fabulous job, making both of us and our guests feel so relaxed, the ceremony fun but meaningful and so very very special. You were absolutely perfect and I really enjoyed myself, despite everyone knowing know I’m called a cling clang (never spelt that before!!)! It continued to be a very special day, the weather held out and we were all warm enough till dusk, then we moved to the mill. Dinner and bush dance was a success, followed by wild moves on the dance floor till 4.30am! Then back to a very cold tent! Dress survived, despite being very dirty and I just survived another party day Sunday, although did hide in the house snoozing for a few hours. I have attached some pictures.
If you are ever over in Clifton Hill I’d love to take you for coffee, but if I don’t see you soon, continue being marvellous at what you do and all the best for the future.
Much love
Philippa and Hugo
Dear Jason,
Thank you for making our ceremony just how we wanted. Your guidance and trust helped us to create memories that we will forever reflect on with much happiness.

Hi Jason,
Thank you again for making our day so special. Your casual, relaxed and warming approach was just perfect. It was such a shame that you left so soon after the ceremony, we missed being able to thank you properly on the day
You are great at what you do :-)
cheers,
Laura & Brad
Hi Jason,
How are you???
I just wanted to send you a much belated thank you for our wedding ceremony, I apologise for waiting so long; we have been very busy since the wedding. I just wanted to express to you just how great you are. Not only was the ceremony perfect, short and sweet, but you made us feel really comfortable and it was such a pleasure dealing with you.
Thank you again,
Hannah xoox
Hi Jason
So, what happens now?
Kidding… We are back from two very enjoyable days in Daylesford! Thank you
so much for marrying us, we really found the perfect person - from the
beginning you knew exactly what we wanted and we had confidence in you
looking after us right up to the day! You made the process so easy for us -
from answering quick questions early, being very clear about what you needed
from us and what we would need to do on the day. You were seriously the best
wedding-related person we dealt with during the entire organising process
and we are so lucky that our friends Pat and Russell recommended you! Mac
even commented that we were so comfortable around you that it felt like you
were one of the guests!!
Wow, that turned into a near essay… sorry about that, you’ve probably
heard it many times before! Please thank your partner again for letting you
marry us on your anniversary! Hope Kylie was fun! (You were going to Kylie,
right?! Or did I make that up…)
Anyway… now for the actual question: name change stuff… I think you had
suggestions on what order to do it in and how? :D
Thanks again for all your help :)
Chelsea and Mac
Dear Jason,
Dear Jason,
Apologies for taking so long to get in touch after the wedding - we’ve just gotten home from our honeymoon and 8 weeks backpacking in Africa.
We though you did a brilliant job as our celebrant. You were warm, relaxed, engaging & professional.
Thank you for marrying us. We had the most amazing perfect time and were very pleased with the short but sweet ceremony and grateful for your guidance.
Best wishes,
Laura & Patch
Dear Jason,
We’d like to say a very big Thank you to you for the wonderful ceremony you performed.
We had many compliments and everyone said you did such a lovely job.
Thank you for sharing in our special day and making our ceremony so relaxed and enjoyable.
xoxo
Hi Jason,
We just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you so much - I don’t think our day would have been anywhere near as calm, fun, and memorable without you. Many people commented on how great the ceremony was and you were, and we just felt so at ease and relaxed in your capable hands :)
A special thank you also for coming and checking in on me when I forgot my vows! Your words centered and calmed me and were just what I needed at that moment.
I only wish you could have stayed and partied on with us! Thank you so much, and see you in a couple of weeks at Nikki and Daniel’s wedding!! Looking forward to seeing you both again!
Leish and Phil Hobson (:D :D :D)

Hi Jason,
Thank you for looking after us and helping to make our wedding ceremony very personal and relaxed. It was exactly what we wanted.
Thank you so much

Dear Jason,
As I said on my phone message, I missed you at the end of yesterday’s
proceedings, and so couldn’t tell you then how very much I appreciated what
you did for us. Thank you so much. You did a great job, and all the family
were very pleased with you, and with me for finding you.
I apologise for not discussing payment with you, and I am very grateful for,
and not a little embarrassed by, your kind offer of a discount. We would be
very happy to pay your standard fee, but would accept with gratitude your
kindness if you insist.
You could send the invoice to me, though I suppose the formal wording would
be to “The Estate of Dr J M Gardiner (deceased)”, c/o me (address below).
Once again, many thanks, for your kind words and for your good work, and I
look forward to catching up again on a less stressful occasion.

Hi Jason,
Two months have already passed since we got married! How time flies.
We have often thought about how wonderful our wedding day was and how fantastic the ceremony was.
You were simply awesome. From the preparation all the way through to the signing of the register. You somehow managed to keep us relaxed and having a look back at the photos confirms how much we enjoyed ourselves and this was in no small way due to you.
Thank you so much for all you did for us. You managed to capture us in your words and we will always remember that perfect moment.

Hi Jason,
A big thank-you for being part of a successful and beautiful wedding day. The ceremony was conducted beautifully, we were both extremely happy with it. Both Luciano and myself had a lot of positive comments on how romantic and tasteful the ceremony was. Again thank you.
As promised I’ve attached a couple of pics for you of the day.
Regards
Luciano and Rose Giannini
Hi Jason and Adrian,
We don’t know where to start other than to say thank you, thank you, thank
you!!!
Our wedding day was without a doubt the happiest day of our lives and we
need to thank the two of you, as you both played such a big role in making
sure everything went as smoothly as possible.
Jason - What can we say? We were blown away. With neither of us having ever
attended a non-religious ceremony, you far exceeded all of our expectations.
Your words were heart felt and sincere and I can’t wait to see the video to
relive every moment of the ceremony. We had so many people approach us at
the reception to tell us what an amazing ceremony it was - so thank you!
Adrian - You were truly fantastic! Our bridal party could not stop talking
about how great you were. Having been in a number of bridal parties, I
(Ani) have to say you were by far the most professional, relaxed and down to
earth photographer I have come across. You made us both feel comfortable in
front of the camera and we both can’t wait to see the photos. We hope you
had as much fun photographing as we did having you there.
So thank you. The celebrant and photographer play such an important role in
the wedding day and we are both so happy that we had the two of you, Adrian
and Jason, to share in our special day.
Look forward to catching up soon.
Regards
Jana and Ani
Hi Jason!
Just a note to say thank you! Our ceremony was really lovely. We thought it
was informal yet tasteful and heartfelt. Our guests are still raving about
it and have commented on your warm and confident manner.
Jason, you have been lovely to deal with and very professional - thank you.
With love,
Ann & Jamie
Hi Jason,
Just a short note before we head off for a few days of relaxation!
We both wanted to pass on a huge thank you to you for an amazing ceremony, we loved it and our guests have all commented how fantastic it was, short and sweet!
You were such a calming presence as I headed down that aisle, your words in the homily were great and we loved that it was a surprise for us on the day.
We really could not have hoped for a better celebrant and you were a big part of making our day special.
Thank you again, we will hopefully see you at someone else’s big day one day!
Many thanks again,
Tina & Rowan
Jason
What can we say? Thank you so very much for making our wedding so special. Natasha and I found the actual ceremony to be the smoothest, easiest part of the whole day. This was due to you giving us tremendous advice and inspiring great confidence in us to design a ceremony that best reflected our relationship. We will forever cherish the memory of our wedding ceremony and look back with great fondness on the experience we shared with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support to us and the wonderful delivery of the ceremony.
We know that our married life has started on the best foot forward through your support and guidance and we will report back on the honeymoon soon. Our best wishes go to you and your family.
Love
Bernard and Natasha
Hi Jason,
We just wanted to send you a note of thanks for creating such a beautiful and unique ceremony for our wedding.
We were both a bit nervous on the day but we remembered your words “don’t worry, I’ll look after you” and we knew everything would work out perfectly.
You were so professional and helpful on the day and in the lead up to the wedding and we really feel we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant.
Most importantly, we had so much FUN during the ceremony! All of our friends and family have commented that the ceremony was truly enjoyable and so different to others they have been to.
Thank you so much! We will be recommending you to all of our Friends.
Love Rachel and Rabban.
