We highly recommend Jacqueline Nairn, who was both our wedding celebrant and MC. She helped create the most gorgeous wedding for us, her attention to detail was second to none, she was personal, welcoming, warm and genuine, well researched and organised. She guided us on all aspects of the wedding – from the vows to the lighting to the music – and all her recommendations were perfect. She set a beautiful tone for our special day, and delighted all the guests. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Oh Jaqs! We are the luckiest couple in the world to have been married by you. Thank you so much. It was such a magical ceremony.  We are so happy!

We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect way to be married. What a love filled ceremony you gave us AND set the tone for the entire night and now our marriage…Love and laughter!

Thank you for making our special day what it was, darling Jaq.
It was the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been what it was without all the magic you brought to it.

Jaq – we honestly can’t thank you enough. From the moment we met you, we felt completely at ease and so genuinely looked after. You have this amazing way of drawing people out with such warmth and presence. It felt like you already knew our story before we even told it, and somehow, you turned it into something even more beautiful than we imagined.

You’ve been an absolute dream to work with – so onto it, calm, and just cool as hell. The ceremony felt so us, and that’s entirely down to you. You helped us see our own love in a new light, and made the whole experience feel even more special.

Thank you for everything – for your care, your energy, and for being such a big, unforgettable part of our day. We truly feel lucky that it was you up there with us. From Eras Tour proposals to wedding day vows, thank you for helping us tell our very own Love Story.

Couldn’t recommend Jacquie enough!
She is absolutely amazing. Caring, attentive, supportive and just an all round amazing human being. She made our wedding, and everyone was complimenting her. The attention to detail and the love she gives to your wedding is a dream. Just the best!

Jaq is the BEST!
She was both our celebrant and MC and this has to be the best decision, hands down, we made for our wedding.

She really helped us feel at ease during the ceremony, and we had SOOO many people come up to us and say how great Jaq was. She brings a real calm energy to what will be your most hectic day and we couldn’t recommend her more.

Thank you Jaq! Thank you for telling our story in such a beautiful way, and for making our day so special.

Jaq was the first celebrant we met with when we started organising our wedding. From the first zoom meeting we had we felt an instant connection and couldn’t wait to work with her to design our dream ceremony. The big day was postponed due to Covid but thankfully Jaq was free on our new date.

I’d always thought the ceremony would be one of the hardest parts to plan but Jaq made it super easy. When the big day finally arrived the ceremony was perfect. Jaq was the best celebrant ever! We also received many compliments from on our guests on how much they enjoyed our ceremony, so together with Jaq we nailed it.

Highly recommend working with Jaq to create your perfect ceremony, she is amazing!

Tom and I would like to thank you so very much for making our wedding day so very special.

Your professional attitude and your warm nature and kindness you showed us from the beginning up until the end was incredible. We could not have asked for anyone better than you.

Thanks again Jacquie.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for a well organised, professional yet relaxed ceremony, personalised to capture our story. You were so easy to talk to and your help and advice was invaluable in creating our perfect wedding ceremony.

From our first meeting through to the wedding day itself your support and guidance put us at ease and enabled us to enjoy our magical day.

An engaging and eloquent celebrant is important to a beautiful ceremony and you absolutely nailed it! Thank you once again for helping make our day so very special.

Jaq, we cannot thank you enough for the time, energy and support you put into making our ceremony a truly memorable one. You went above and beyond and we appreciate all the dedication and help you invested into our ceremony.

Our ceremony flowed nicely and we felt so comfortable with you as our celebrant both on the day and the journey leading up to our big day. Your warm, friendly nature put us both at ease and you melted away any nerves we had.

If you need a celebrant for your wedding, I highly recommend Jaq. She is reliable, efficient and lovely to work with. Thanks again for a fantastic ceremony!

Thank you so much, Jacquie for the most incredible ceremony!  We could not have asked for a more perfect day.

From our first meeting, you made everything so easy.  I had a list of questions that I didn’t even need to ask because you were so thorough in telling us everything we needed to know. You were always available to answer emails from us, and always happy to offer suggestions and advice when we were unsure in anything.

Together, we created the most beautiful, memorable ceremony that was filled with so many thoughtful and personal touches that we couldn’t have done without your guidance and encouragement.  You were genuinely excited and invested in our ceremony and that showed in the way that you conducted the day.  You shared in our laughter and delivered our emotional moments in the most touching way.  You even had a tissue at the ready and seamlessly held it out to me when my new husband brought me to (happy) tears!

Thank you for being so approachable, supportive and professional as our celebrant.  We want to take this opportunity to recommend you to anyone looking for their perfect ceremony.  They will get just that with you! Thank you, with love

Natalie & Stevens

Thank you so very much for helping us create the wedding ceremony of our dreams.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.​

You have a natural gift, and your presence brought a sense of calm, joy, and sincerity that we both deeply felt. Every word you spoke resonated with us, and we couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and genuine person to help us begin this new chapter of our lives.

We are so grateful to have had you as our celebrant. Your warmth and care meant the world to us.

Jacqueline made our day absolutely perfect.
I knew from the first time we met she was the celebrant for us!
We loved every meeting we had, having a laugh and she just understood us as a couple from the get go.
The ceremony was more than I dreamed of and having her with us and capturing our love in her magical way was amazing.

Hotel Britomart was the most beautiful and intimate place to elope. Jaq, our lovely celebrant, delivered a ceremony that was warm, personal, and perfectly guided.

We couldn’t have imagined a better combination for such a special day.

Thanks for everything Jaq!

Jacqueline was the best through the entire process.
She talked us through step by step, gave us great ideas but with no pressure and ensured the ceremony was how we wanted it. Every meeting was relaxed, fun and not stressful at all. Absolutely loved working with her and would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so, so much for the most magical ceremony. We loved the energy, soul and warmth you brought to our day. You spoke beautifully, put us at ease, and had thought of all the small details including tissues for the many tears I shed. We had the most perfect day and wouldn’t change a thing.

Jaq is absolutely amazing to work with!! Everyone has said to us how great our ceremony was. As well as cursing us for all the tears they all shed, hahaha.

Thank you again, Jaq. You were amazing! We could not have wished for a better ceremony. xx

Jono and I want to thank you from the absolute bottom of our hearts for the way you carried out our ceremony last weekend. It was truly a blessing to have you share our love story the way you did. It was magical. We honestly felt so safe and calm with you the whole time which made the ceremony one of my favourite parts of the day (even though it was what we were both the most nervous about!)

We had so many compliments from our family and friends on how beautiful our ceremony was. Aunt Cecily also wanted a copy of the entire ceremony as she couldn’t stop talking about how perfect it was, and how beautifully you carried the words through from beginning to end.

Know that you were such a special part of this day for us.

Much love from both of us.

Jacqueline thank you so much for making our ceremony truly magical. Our wedding day was perfect and we both feel fortunate that we could have you there as our Celebrant.

You are an absolute pleasure to work with. We found that your communication was flawless, which made making plans for the ceremony stress free, your help and suggestions were great!

I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a celebrant, and I can’t thank you enough for helping to make our day so special.

Jaq was outstanding! She was so willing to make our wedding exactly as we wanted. Helped us write the perfect ceremony, helped with our vows and even snuck in some last minute changes to our sand ceremony the night before the wedding! (this was a surprise from my kids and husband which I learnt about during the ceremony).

Plus she looked absolutely stunning in all our photos!

We were planning an engagement party and at short notice decided to marry at the party. With the short notice we thought it was a long shot but contacted Jacquie and she was available. From the first phone call, we knew she was the right person to marry us.

Jacquie guided and encouraged us through the planning and ultimately we had a ceremony that was very ‘us’. Our wedding was very casual but Jacquie ensured our ceremony was heartfelt and something we will cherish always.

Thanks Jacquie, we were so lucky to have found you.

Alison & David

Our wedding was so much fun and we are so thankful for your involvement in our day.

From the first meeting we had we both felt really comfortable with you. We appreciated how you were able to tailor the ceremony to us and our style with your pick and mix options for the wording.

And of course we loved how you were able to work in our engagement story into the ceremony. The ceremony went so smoothly and we felt it was very reflective of us. Thank you so much Jacquie!

Kris & Carly

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most amazing ceremony.

Your guidance shone through and made our marriage more than what we dreamed of.

Jacquie, thank you so much for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us!

Your presence and energy was both calming and powerful. Everyone commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. You did such a great job at working our personality into it and making it feel deeply intimate and personal to us.

Your guidance right from the beginning, giving us many different options and helping us create the perfect ceremony that felt like us was so incredible. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding. Thank you.

Kim & Jeremy

A match made in Heaven! Jacquie was the perfect match for us as a celebrant. Our intimate ceremony of 13 people was made even more special by Jacquie’s warm and welcoming approach.

Jacquie was very responsive and communicated well in the lead up to the wedding. We met using a video chat during an evening, which was very accommodating around our busy work schedules. The guidance we received with our vows and ceremony readings helped make our day both memorable and unique.

If you’re looking for a celebrant that listens to what you want, but adds her own personal touch, then Jacquie is for you!

Karma & Alice

Thank you so much for your wonderful work on our wedding. Thanks for your patience, friendliness, excellent photo taking, fun conversation and flexibility. You helped to make the day perfect.

We really appreciate it all and wish you best in your celebrant career, you are so great at what you do!

We highly recommend Jacqueline!!

Lauren & Matt

Our big day was everything we had hoped for and more. Jacquie played a massive part in making us feel relaxed and ready, organised and excited all rolled into one.

She went above and beyond for us and for that we are so grateful. She has such a warm presence about her and we felt comfortable and happy with her suggestions along the way.

Thank you for sharing your infectious smile and being such a special part of our wedding journey.
