Jess she/her - Your Celebrant & MC

Hey mates, thanks for thinking of me in the planning of your celebration of lovin’!

The first question about me normally is, tell us about you!? I’m a bit zesty, loud and a tad silly, I’m a music lover, an armature radio presenter, dodgeball captain, dancefloor slayer & party starter, I talk for a living, I’ve hosted events & MC’d for over a decade, I’ve worked in some epic music venues around Melbourne, and made some beautiful connections over the years. I absolutely love love, and believe a wedding should be a bloody good party, with some marriage in-between. Disco weddings, rock n roll elopements, family micro weddings in the yard of an estate & big ol’ song & dances, I’m in, let’s go.

I know what I’m good at, and that’s ceremonies that are full of vibrancy, warmth, and connection, I can tell a good story, and I’ll share those stories of your love in a way that’ll have your fam & friends reliving those moments again and pumping them up for the nature of the day, ceremonies that have tears and laughs, appropriate (or not) gags and no awkward silences in sight.

I want you to think of me as a mate you haven’t met yet, someone you’re going to be cozy with, because you trusting me, is a huge honour and I want to deliver the exact ceremony you’re looking for. From teeny elopements to big old hoorahs, formalising your nuptials, whoever you are, whoever you love, doing whatever the f*!k heck you want.

Ceremonies with a maximum talk time from me, at 20 minutes, I won’t drag things out, let’s play a few grouse songs, put on some great fits and sign some docs and get you hitched.

If you like the idea of someone like me, coming in and making a few of your loved ones cry, likely laugh and crack a few red hot jokes along the way, all while you and your guests look gorgeous and feel full, get in touch!

Ceremony PACKAGES

THE SHOTGUN BOOGIE

In the words of Tennesee Earnie Ford himself, “wait til they hear my ol’ shotgun boogie!”

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.

If you’re looking to get a hitchin’ done in the kitchen, a renewal of your vows or a commitment ceremony, baby I’m yours.

This deal is for parties with less than 20 guests, anywhere in VIC.

THE HEY HO LET’S GO

Now we’re talking anything up to big ol’ hoorahs. Love-fests with all your loved ones, wherever you please.

I’ll write the ceremony you’ve been hoping for, I can print your vows on cards so they don’t crumble in shaky hands, we can have a rehearsal if you need one, I’m yours, all hands on deck. I’m there, every step of the way, I can help you find other legends to make the day as superb as possible.

She’s a problem solver and a do-er!

SHE’S The Girl U WANT

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 askward 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.

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 lil' ceremony~ up to 20 minutes of me chatting time (up to 10 mins with the shotgun boogie), you probably don’t want to hear me for longer than that, 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.

Bloody Kind Words..

Hey gorgeous!

I just wanted to send through a message and say the biggest thank you ever! We had the most amazing day, and we were both most stressed about the ceremony and having to say our vows but because of you it was absolutely our favourite part of the entire day. You made us feel right at home and the whole thing just felt so us, everyone has raved about you and what a perfect match you were for our wedding. 

You’re a legend, thank you again for making it feel so special and perfect!

Hey Jess! I just wanted to reach out now the dust has settled thank you again. I had so many people come up and tell me what an amazing job you did! There’s no way in the world anyone would have guessed that you’d only done a handful of ceremonies before ours. Everything you said was so heartfelt and thoughtful, it felt like you’d known us our entire relationship. I don’t think we could have chosen a better person to marry us 🖤

Thanks Jess. You’re are truly a beautiful human and the best wedding celebrant of all time.

What a truly wonderful day we had together. Yes tears, love and laughter, it doesn’t get any better than that. Well perhaps topping it off with cake and booze and it’s perfection. Thank you for making our day such a fun filled memory. Celebrant extraordinaire!! You’re part of the family now Jess.
