Hello!
I’m Jess
AKA your future wedding celebrant...
I’m 30 years young, was born in Darwin and have lived in Perth since I was a tiny human. I currently work part time as an Occupational Therapist in mental health. I have worked in mental health since 2012 and have been an OT since 2015.
Although mental health is a hugely rewarding area to work in, it is as equally challenging, which brings me to a shower thought I had on a cool evening in June 2020. I was seeing people unhappy and feeling their worst but I wanted to see people happy and feeling their best too and that’s when I thought I could become a stand-up comedian!
Anyway, I slept on it and thought of a way better idea – a marriage celebrant. So here we are with balance restored to my career. Not only do I get to meet and marry incredible people like you but I get to make people laugh, smile and cry happy tears whilst I do it.
Surprisingly or not so surprisingly my background in mental health proves super useful in weddings as they are often somewhat of an emotional affair. It means that you will have a celebrant that will not only marry you (all that legal confusing stuff), but who also has the ability to calm those nasty nerves!
I believe I'm a 'Jess of All Trades' if you will, and am open to all shapes and sizes of weddings, from legals only to larger scale weddings and I support marriage equality whole heartedly. If you feel like half an hour of me isn't enough then I can MC your reception too!
I look terrifying when I laugh, sorry not sorry!
I'm absolutely the celebrant that will wear a costume for your themed wedding and/or say yes to the requests you never thought you could ask. I also do vow renewal, commitment and naming ceremonies.
In all seriousness, I'm super stoked that I have found this profession and have the opportunity to meet and work with so many incredible couples. Oh?!
