WELL HELLO!
I’m Jess or JRoc, or J! however you’d like to refer to me, I respond to all, I’m a mid-30s, Radio DJ, always front row at a gig with a cold non alc beer, snacking on vegan treats, I’m loud, up for adventure, behind a 35mm camera lens for fun, wanna know more about me, I’ll tell ya!
I’m a celebrant and MC from the gritty backstreets of Collingwood, Naarm, 3066, I’ve been in this biz for two whole years and it’s been a ride. I as most will agree, am not your average celebrant, I love love, I love weddings, but more importantly I love alternatives to the norm in the way of ceremony, throw parties your way, celebrate your love however the heck you want, I’m really down for anything if you are.
My thing is getting the vibe right, I adore a connection, I pride myself on understanding your love and sharing it in story for your friends ad family, while sharing giggles, tears and heaps of heart.
I’ve been an MC & host for over a decade, that’s kind of how this started, some friends asked me what it would take for me to marry them, and I one day looked into it, and here we are. I’ve been so grateful to be trusted marrying my friends, my friends friends, absolute strangers I’ve been lucky to call friends and folks who I so quickly click with it just makes sense.
Dress up weddings, pub weddings, destination weddings, glamourous family filled hoorahs, festival style nuptials, teeny elopements, disco hitchin’s, halloween parties on the dancefloor with a little signing of some docs, personal, private ceremonies under your favourite tree, watching a band you love, or in a stunning venue surrounded by your people. You can really do anything, and my hospitality background and big imagination is here to make a dream come true.
SO YOU’RE GETTIN’ HITCHED?
Now we’re talking anything from a hitchin’ in the kitchen up to big ol’ hoorahs. Love-fests with all your loved ones, wherever you please.
Legals, and a lil bitta lovey stuff from me. I won’t say much if you don’t want me to, we’ll be up there for 20 or so mins, cheeky, heartfelt and sweet.
We get together, at the venue of your choice, which can be anywhere - even your yard, I know a bunch of local spots like dives, discos and brewhouses, so please sing out if I can help you find the perfect spot.
Want me in an outfit? Go on, give me a suggestion ;)
HEY HO LET’S GO (celebrant) $1200
WHAT’S IT GONNA COST ME?
I’ve been an MC much longer than I’ve been a celebrant, a professional host & speaker for over a decade, this red hot deal is the most asked for, so I’ve combined the Celebrant & MC deal together.
Noone hogs the mic, the flow is seamless, no awkward silences or unsure moments. I’ll take the ceremony from beginning to end, then, conduct the rest of the party like a well oiled machine. I know how to help people get comfortable on a mic, the amount of nervous speakers I’ve helped goes beyond my hands and toes. I’ve also ran a lot of events and venues, so I can figure out almost anything when it comes at us.
Ceremonies as large or as intimate as you like, with a an experienced zesty MC on the mic.
The Girl U Want (Celebrant & MC) $1500
What’s involved?
We chat to see if we vibe with each other – this can be a lil zoom or over a bevvie if we’re local - the cheeky free no obligation chat!
If we hit it off, We meet for our first date over a cuppa or cold one, chat elements you love and don’t, rings? aisles? outfits? music? vows? sick outfits? custom bits and bobs? interesting venues? whatever you want!
Together we fill in the NOIM ~ atleast 1 month before but no more than 18 months prior to the ceremony date.
I’ll bring my sweet lil set up, a Sennheister wireless mic & my Bose portable PA, it works a treat, I use it regularly.
I’ll write a beaut ceremony~ up to 20 minutes of me chatting time, we’ll add things like music, readings, prose, get someone you love to say something if you like, do some fun rituals, like take a shot, do a sick handshake you’ve been working on, anything important to you - or not, you can really do whatever you please, just say a few legal words with me and hey ho let’s go, you’re married.
You get a sweet calligraphy printed certificate to hang in the pool room & a fistful of stickers.
I lodge all the paperwork to BDM – yeehaw they are legal baby! (I can also help you order your Legal Marriage Certificate on request).
All ceremonies and rehearsals outside 50km of 3066 will incur a fee to cover transport, this is quoted at $100 per 50kms, you get it, petty is spenny.
Few things! We only write them because they happen. If you need to cancel your celebrant, (it happens, we just need to know) please be in touch when you can, some dates are highly sought after, and income is important.
