Jake Smith
Marriage celebrant · Southeast Queensland & northern NSW
Jake Smith is a close friend of The Elopement Collective and one of our marriage celebrants for southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales. He brings warmth, care and a steady presence to the moment you make your promises to each other.
Jake’s path into weddings began in 2007, when a couple asked him to marry them. That first ceremony sparked a love of helping couples take this next step together. Today, his approach starts with listening: getting to know your story, understanding what matters to you and shaping a ceremony that reflects your relationship.
He welcomes couples of all backgrounds and beliefs, whether you would like to include elements of faith or have a civil ceremony. Thoughtful preparation and clear guidance help you feel comfortable, while his calm manner gives you space to enjoy the occasion. From planning conversations and coordinating with your photographer to the ceremony and paperwork afterwards, he cares about each part of the experience.
For couples eloping in southeast Queensland or northern NSW, Jake brings that same personal attention to a small celebration. If his approach sounds like the right fit for your day, get in touch with the Collective to talk about your plans and his availability.
