Jacqua Celebrant

Oh, hey! I’m Jacq AKA Jacqua. Since 2016, I’ve been a non-traditional wedding celebrant based in NSW. You’ll mostly find me around the South Coast, Southern Highlands and Sydney. Besides celebrant’ing, I’m an ocean-swimming yogi who loves nothing more than planning my next adventure (or yours).

I tend to marry couples who are unconventional and a little quirky—lovers who want a creative and inclusive wedding that reflects their distinct sense of style.

My absolute favourite thing about being a celebrant is getting to know you. I love spending time with you so I can share your unique story and fun insights with your family and friends. Ultimately I’m here to create meaningful moments you’ll forever remember and treasure.

Eloping? Getting hitched away from home? I’m also happy to travel around NSW, within Australia and overseas too. I’m free to roam!

I feel we’ll be a good fit if you’re a laid-back couple who loves a laugh, you’re a bit left of centre, you believe the ceremony is as important as the party, you rather a meaningful ceremony and you want a seamless lead-up and stress-free event.

Ready to start planning? Fantastic, let’s do this!

Woohoo! You’re eloping. Just the two of you and perhaps a handful of your faves. Packed with personal touches. What’s included? 2 x meetings (video or in-person) Time over the phone & email All legal paperwork including NOIM (Notice of Intended Marriage) Creation your personal ceremony Support writing your vows Deliver an incredible ceremony Printed vow cards Register your marriage with Registry BDM

Our experience with Jacq was nothing short of amazing. She was professional yet relaxed and made us feel at ease during the whole process. She took care of the paper work side of things, which made everything so easy. Her story telling and way of public speaking meant a lot of our guests were impressed. We knew straight away from readying the reviews of others and seeing her socials that she was authentic and cool vibes (haha). Thank you so much Jacq, you are great at what you do!

Incredible service! I would highly recommend Jacqua for anyone who is looking for a non traditional wedding celebrant.
She is organised, communicative and created an overall seamless experience for us.
She had beautifully written our personal story through a questionnaire and gave us calm and comforting guidance us on our big day.
She’s has a great poised energy that had us feeling confident and at ease.

Jacq was honestly amazing. Our ceremony turned out just brilliant, and we couldn’t have done it without her. From the very beginning, Jacq made everything so easy, she’s super organised and has a great set of resources and a clear process that made the prep and lead-up to the wedding feel effortless.
She’s got such a great sense of humour and brought that special flair when helping us pull the ceremony together. The questionnaire and resources she gave us really got us thinking and helped get our heads in the game for writing our vows and shaping the day.
On the day itself, the ceremony was everything we hoped for. Moving, emotional and full of love. So many of our guests have commented on how beautiful it was. Jacq just nailed it and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed.
We honestly couldn’t recommend her more 💛

Jacqua was the absolute best! Besides our venue, she was the first vendor that we locked in and every single catch up confirmed that we made the best decision to go with her! Her ability to create a ceremony that was just completely "us", with none of the stuff that wasn't, really set the tone for our entire wedding. Plus, she made all the admin bits so easy for us as an overseas couple getting married in Jervis Bay (which is administered by the ACT, despite being surrounded by NSW!) She is so down to earth, yet full of enthusiasm and we loved every word she crafted. A total gem!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Jacqua as our wedding celebrant. From our very first conversation, we knew we were in the best hands! She took the time to truly get to know us — not just as a couple, but as individuals — and somehow turned our story into a ceremony that was personal, heartfelt, and completely us.
The way Jacqua spoke about love, connection, and commitment left not just us, but our guests, completely moved. Everyone was crying! All of our friends and family told us afterward that it was one of the most beautiful and meaningful ceremonies they’ve ever witnessed — and we couldn’t agree more.
Jacqua brought the perfect balance of warmth, sincerity, and humour, and made what can feel like a nerve-wracking moment feel calm, joyful, and beyond full of love. We’ll never forget the amount of love we felt during those moments.
We could never thank Jacqua enough for helping us create a moment that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We are forever grateful.

Jacq was simply amazing as our celebrant. She tailored it perfectly to what we wanted. She did a great job in telling our story and including our cultures and family on a very special day. She brought a lovely presence to the whole proceedings, and without the support of a venue to boot.
She was also amazing at helping us through all the prep for the day, all the form signing and general admin was a breeze. Which when you're planning a wedding, really matters.
Jacq is just fabulous, easy to get along with. If in doubt, hire her. You won't regret it!

Jacqua was absolutely incredible as our celebrant, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us celebrate our special day. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported and guided every step of the way. She reached out to us multiple times before the wedding, offering her professional advice and helping us craft a ceremony that truly reflected our personalities and love story.
Her ceremony speech was perfect – it had our guests laughing, crying, and everything in between. Jacqua also helped us with our vows, providing us with helpful resources and guiding us through the process of perfecting them without changing the essence of what we wanted to say to each other.
On the morning of the wedding, Jacqua took the time to visit while we were getting ready, helping us feel calm and relaxed. Her warm, joyful, and calm presence made a world of difference in easing any pre-wedding anxiety.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Jacqua to any couple looking for a celebrant who is not only professional but also kind, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your day as beautiful and memorable as possible. Thanks Jacq!

Where do I start with complimenting the beautiful Jacq? From the first time we met her, to our wedding day itself, we had the most wonderful experience with her. Jacq was fun, calm, elegant and professional every step of the way. We were so, so happy to share our day with her and would not hesitate to recommend Jacq to anyone looking for a celebrant. Thank you Jacq for making our experience so stress free and our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Jacqua married us recently in the Shoalhaven, and she was a joy to work with — tasteful, professional and funny. Jacqua brought the right amount of energy to make sure the ceremony was lively, whilst also making sure the focus was still on us.
In addition to doing a brilliant job on the day itself, Jacqua also provided a wealth of useful guidance and pointers about the various decisions we needed to make in the course of of planning our ceremony. She made what could otherwise have been a daunting and difficult process smooth and seamless. Thanks, Jacq!

Jacqua was absolutely wonderful and made our ceremony truly unforgettable! All our guests commented on her fun, enthusiastic and engaging ceremony. We loved all her non-traditional quirks and the way she shaped the ceremony to feel authentic to us. She was a lovely person to work with and gave us great advice on how to make the most of every moment. We can’t recommend her or thank her enough!
