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.
Our wedding is one of the few days we get to do this. It should be flexible, creative, simple and original.
Let me help you create something that reflects your family and your community. Let's celebrate together.
I look forward to hearing your stories.

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.
Take Care

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.

Hi Jason, I just wanted to thank you properly for marrying us last Friday. Everything went so fast! You were fantastic, you are so professional and delivered our ceremony like an old friend. We are so happy we chose you to be part of the big day. The rest of the day was just brilliant, everything we wanted it to be. Thanks again, and I’ve attached a photo for you to have a squiz at!

Hi Jason,
I hope you are well and enjoyed the trip to New York, the photos look AMAZING!!! I am sure it was worth the effort!
I just wanted to say thank you very much for officiating at our wedding. We both thought you did a marvellous job and I owe David a beer, hahahaha! Seriously, we are so pleased you married us and helped to make it such a special day. Thank you for making it relaxed and fun but also very special for us both.
We had a really great time at the reception, the party was fantastic and we could have gone on for ever. As it is we made it to bed at about 4.30am!!! Adrian has sent us the photos and they are excellent, we can’t believe how good it looks! Truly a very, very special day and one we will never forget and thanks to you both for helping to make it so.
Cheers thanks,
Andy & Tanya.
Jason,
Darrin and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for all of you help with our wedding. You made both of us feel so at ease with you and we knew that you would be there to make sure that everything went smooth. We received so many compliments on the service and how well you did. THANK YOU !
Would it be possible to get a copy of your comments to put into our wedding album?
Jason, we will send you some pics when we get them, again thanks you so much for being there for both of us. If there is anything that we could do for you, please let us know.
Love,
Edward and Darrin
Hi Jason
Thank you so much for marrying us! Johnny is extremely grateful for having you there early on the day to calm his nerves (I didn’t think he would be that nervous!!). Thanks also for handling my snotty tissues :)
Take care
Love Elen
Hi Jason,
Before we head off on our honeymoon we wanted to send you a quick email to thank you so sincerely for being part of our big day on Sunday and giving us
such a beautiful ceremony.
You made us both feel so comfortable throughout the whole process and you were warm and genuine from the very beginning, how could we not feel like we
were in good hands on such an important day of our lives.
Despite me (the bride) being stuck in road closure city traffic and the pressure being on you with strict timeframes (so sorry…) you managed to keep us both calm and our ceremony was intimate and so meaningful, exactly what we hoped for. It really was perfect!
We are truly honoured to have had you as our celebrant and will always remember you so fondly. Rich enjoyed the footy banter along the way too!
We sincerely wish you, Adrian and Ruben all the best for the future and we’ll be looking out for Ruben in a future Essendon footy squad :)
We will send you some photos when we get back from our honeymoon.
Hoping you are having a great time in Sydney and that you didn’t miss your plane.
Love
Mel & Rich

Dear Jason,
Michelle & I have been meaning to write to you for some time now, to thank you and your partner for the wonderful Midsumma ceremony you conducted for us (I’ve sent a photo from the day so that you can picture who we are!).
I have to admit that Michelle & I were a little too relaxed about the ceremony, as we weren’t expecting it to have the resonance and meaning that it did.
We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in August, and had previously held a commitment ceremony with our family & friends in 2000. So we were thinking that the Midsumma ceremony would be something we would do solely for ourselves, as a bit of a political statement.
We were surprised at how meaningful the ceremony became, especially reciting your beautiful vows and signing the certificate of marriage. Its amazing that after being out for so long, that these small actions hold such meaning & resonance to us.
Thank you so much for being an integral part of such an important event in our lives together. You have to have a chuckle that such an amazing event happened with loud doof doof music in the background - but it didn’t matter one bit!
Cheers
Amanda & Michelle.
