Hi, I'm Jessie

Firstly, congrats! It would give me an immense amount of joy to get to know you and tell your story as accurately and beautifully as I can. I want to hear all about your lives apart and together, so that I can write a ceremony that gets to the heart of how it feels to be you, to be partners, and to be in love. 

How did you make it to the spot you're both standing in, who helped you along the way and what does this day mean to you? These are the questions we'll answer to write a ceremony that makes you feel seen. In the last few years it's become clear how important it is to celebrate occasions together, in whatever way is most meaningful to you. It would be an honour to help you do this by creating a ceremony that I hope will stay with you forever.

I think that committing to making another person happy is one of the most optimistic and brave things you can do. The kind of hope and joy it takes to love someone and want to be married is what makes us human, and I'll champion that however I can. I love giving people the opportunity to celebrate fully - celebrate who you are as individuals, celebrate the delightful luck that brought you together, celebrate the ways you care for each other, celebrate the things to come.

Jessica was amazing from start to finish! She was patient and communicative throughout, and she fit perfectly into our ceremony. She is an all round lovely person who brought warmth and helped us feel as comfortable as possible. We can’t recommend her enough!

Jessie was amazing from the first interaction and even up until after the wedding! She created a beautiful, personal script for us which exceeded our expectations. She was responsive and assured us of any concerns we had.

Jessie was an incredible celebrant and really made our day extra special. We met with Jessie before the wedding, so she could get to know us and then she created a wonderful script for our day that was personal, humorous and sentimental. She really captured everything we wanted the ceremony to be and also helped us to create personal vows. All the guests enjoyed the ceremony and commented on how much they enjoyed the personal touches and personal vows. A massive thank you to Jessie for helping us create such a lovely day.

Jessie was amazing, from the moment we met her we knew she was the one for us. Every step of the way she was just at the end of the phone, and we never doubted that our ceremony was going to be perfect with Jessie in charge. On the day it felt like we had a friend conducting the ceremony, and it really settled my nerves seeing not only my new husband at the end of the aisle, but Jessie's friendly face. She had our personalised vows printed out in a beautiful book for us to read from, and it was just everything and more.

— S & J

Hiring Jessie as our Celebrant was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding. From the very start, she was so personal, and interested in us, and our story. She has written a brilliant piece for our ceremony and performed it so well. She's been an absolute dream to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more.
