Wedding Ceremonies for the fools in love.

Newcastle + Hunter Valley Marriage Celebrant - Jaya Bargwanna

Hey there I’m Jaya. Purveyor of vibes, curator of tales, maker of marriages.

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

After wedding 200+ couples, one thing has become so damn clear. No story, no couple and no ceremony will ever be the same.

My style is warm, inclusive & authentic.

…and just a little bit cheeky,

Laughing one minute, dabbing your eyes the next; swooning from go to WOAH.

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 lighthearted, approachable and engaging ceremony that has your friends teetering on the edge of their seats.

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.

let’s talk weddings.

banish the bore, flick the fluff, lose the snooze.

Choosing your official third wheel is a daunting task. You want someone that fits your energy, your values, YOUR VIBE.

A hitcher that makes you feel comfortable, that understands your priorities and that has YOU at heart.

Over at JBCCHQ (that’s my humble dining room table, for those of you playing at home) constructing your ceremony is a collaborative approach.

We chat, I ask you a bunch of weird + wonderful questions and then send you home with some fun, lighthearted questionnaires so that I can delve deep into your relationship vault.

They say there’s always three versions of every story; yours, mine and the truth - and your ceremony is a cocktail of all three - blended perfectly into a rom-com-esque tale with YOU as the main characters.

Spoiler alert: you end up madly in love, married and celebrating your happily ever afters.

Tell me more.
