RUSHING BACK [FLUME FT VERA BLUE]

“And as Sunday (of Splendour in The Grass) night rolled in, and Aleisha and John sat snuggled up on the hill, listening to Flume, John’s mind whirred with euphoria.

Singing and cuddling with her. He wanted to do this, to relive this moment – one of THE BEST, of his ENTIRE life, for the rest of his days.

As they parted ways in Byron, Aleisha had this little inkling – actually – it was more than that. It was an innate knowledge, that despite the fact that she was only 19 – and not quite sure where life was going to take her – it was going to be with John.

That from that minute on, it was almost a given. That one day, they’d be here. Promising to spend the rest of their lives together.”

A picture perfect day at the inimitable with a top tier team.

LOOKING FOR A CELEBRANT?

hey there, I’m Jaya.
[warm. inclusive. authentic.]

I’m here for the laidback lovers; fools in love seeking a charismatic storyteller. If your vibe screams authenticity served in carefully balanced helpings of cheeky humor and lighthearted romance - we should chat!

After wedding 300+ couples, one thing has become so damn clear. No story, no couple and no ceremony will ever be the same.

I take your tales; the highs, the funnies and the genuine moments of ‘wow, we REALLY are made for each other’ - shake it with a healthy serve of lime and tonic - and deliver a warm, approachable and engaging ceremony that has your friends teetering on the edge of their seats.

Laughing one minute, crying the next; swooning from go to WOAH.

And, as the two of you clink your first drinks as a married couple, know that your guests will be grinning from ear-to-ear; mood set, chatter high, ready to celebrate YOU.

2025 - limited capacity.
2026 - books open + filling quickly.

It’s engagement season, baby!

I’M GOOD [DAVID GUETTA X BEBE REXHA]

There’s ABSOLUTELY no humble way to publicly share reviews. BUT they’re also a very powerful marketing tool.

So here’s me - dying a little on the inside - FIG JAMming like there’s no tomorrow.

But I guess it’s not just ME - because real people have said nice things. So it’s kinda on them.

SWEET DREAMS [EURYTHMICS]

A little over two years ago, a VERY special enquiry hit my inbox. I can remember the moment so vividly - and still to this day, it feels like a dream.

I can tell you about the morning. It started like most mornings did in my house. I went to Dixon park for a walk and a play with my kids. This particular morning, we were walking - and I remember spotting one of my long time role models. Walking - in the flesh, hand in hand with her beautiful girlfriend.

Playing it cool, (and outing myself now) I grabbed my daughters hand - pointed (very subtly) at this couple and said - “see that person over there, she is one of the best surfers in the world, and does lots of amazing things… one day, mummy will be brave enough to take you over and talk to her”

By midday that day, we were at the indoor pool in Raymond Terrace. It was the middle of winter. An enquiry lit up my inbox.

It was the (named in our house) “cool surfer girl” and the absolute powerhouse of her now-wife. A wedding. Their wedding. A celebrant. Me?

Surely someone close to me was pulling a little prank. It’s no secret, I’m a surfing fan-girl.

But it wasn’t.

There’s a saying - “never meet your idols” but I did.

Not only was I lucky enough to meet Tyler; I was invited into the most intimate space - with Lilli - one of the most amazing women; their friends and their families. And I’ll FOREVER be grateful.

Ty and Lil, this was - and still is a PINCH ME moment. And after playing it cool for 2+ years, I can’t hold it in any longer. Oooops.

CO2 [PRATIK KUHAD]

There are literally countless reasons why the wedding between Chaitalee + Manoj was one of the most incredible days of my celebrant life. But, thanks to the character limit of IG, I’ll share just a handful.

As the MC, I arrived in the late afternoon ready to meet guests and introduce them to their first celebration of the evening!

The sun was starting to dim and the Hindu Pandit was ready to start the Hindu ceremony.

As the guests arrived in their sarees and kruta, colour ricocheted through the picture perfect as shrieks of excitement and laughter punctuated the air.

For 45 minutes, guests were enthralled by the magic of ritual. Mystery, fire and the tradition of stealing and hiding the grooms shoes.

We shared champagne and stories. We watched the sun set over Sydney. And then, as stars began to fill the sky, we wandered back over to the ceremony space and the tale of Manoj and Chaitalee was shared with their nearest and dearest.

People had travelled far and wide, there were the old friends, the new ones, and countless people meeting each other for the very first time. By the time the newlyweds made their way back down the aisle - every single person was connected.

We dance - lonnnng into the night. We sang. We feasted. We created life long memories.

What a couple, what a night!

TELL ME BABY [RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that Google Reviews are one of the best ways for small businesses (like mine) to reach and engage with their ideal clients?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time my phone lights up with a ‘new review’ notification, it takes all my self control not to jump up, rip my shirt over my head and fling it around like a helicopter (yes, too many football highlights in the early 2000s)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, if I’ve married you, your friends, or your family. If I’ve worked with you, or for you. Or you’ve stood behind a bush and managed to see me in action - it would mean the world if you left a sneaky review.

TAKE ME TO CHURCH [HOZIER]

On a perfect Spring afternoon, and nearest and dearest were treated to a delightful ceremony at

Here’s what THEY had to say…

“Jaya, I cannot find the words. You smashed it out of the ballpark. James and I keep talking about how amazing the ceremony was. We cannot thank you enough for everything! You are one in a million. Thank you thank you thank you”

It was one helluva ride - and the most dreamy day to celebrate! Congrats Finneys. ADORE YOU!

PIECE OF YOUR HEART [MEDUZA]

On a perfect Thursday, Tiarne and Adrian celebrated their nuptials in front of 50 of their favorite people.

As guests arrived at the gorgeous they were greeted by not only the couple, but a glass of Prosecco and the sounds of filling the air.

Canapés were devoured, laughs were shared and when the time felt just right; everyone was invited to take their seat and the ceremony began.

Looking at the sneak peeks from - holy smokes! You can FEEL the love that was in the room that day!

I’M SO EXCITED [THE POINTER SISTERS]

There are literally dozens of highlights from Wednesday spent with Codie and Matt.

There was walking in to and seeing Codie’s beaming wedding party + family tearing up over Codie’s dress.

The embrace when she saw me - and the way the excitement spread across her face.

Arriving at and instantly feeling at ease as the lovely wedding coordinator, Paula dropped me to the ceremony site in the buggy.

Then there was the ridiculous jokes from the groomsmen that giggled like a bunch of teenage girls.

Matt, a bundle of emotion; eagerly awaiting his beautiful bride - and the way he melted as she walked down the aisle.

The laughter bouncing between guests, broken by tears of joy and gasps of surprise. The cheeky comments made by the groomsmen that had me in stitches on the sideline.

VOWS, so eloquent and romantic that left their nearest and dearest riding on cloud nine.

And then there was this…

Invited to pucker up and seal the deal. But instead, Matt and Codie were just too damn excited to be married to the other!
They cheered, they air punched and everyone went nuts.

…and then they kissed.

ARTANGELS [GRIMES]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Now, five years ago; circa 2018 – when Monique and Angus literally stumbled across each other in the virtual world, the most common way to meet a new romantic interest was through mutual friend or family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT since Moniques mum so accurately explained that Monique would never lock eyes with the future love of her life across a crowded room, because she never wore her glasses; they instead found themselves falling head over heels in the most unlikely of places.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A game. Video game. A chance connection in an online chat room.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Angus58563 and MomoMOOmo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Game chat turned small talk, turned banter, weekend plans and everything in between. As he logged on to play each evening, Angus felt a little surge of anticipation; I wonder if Momo is on tonight too?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Monique, too, found herself wondering about the guy behind the screen name. What was he like? What did he do for fun?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Angus was a uni student – studying, giving himself a brain break when needed; Monique; an engineer – switching off at the end of the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Him, Newcastle; her, Sydney. Them; intrigued by the other.”
