About Jaya Bargwanna Celebrant

Jaya Bargwanna is a marriage celebrant and wedding MC who marries couples in the Hunter Valley and travels further when a wedding calls for it. After more than 350 weddings, her style is warm, inclusive and authentic with a cheeky streak, and she sees the ceremony as the moment that sets the mood for the whole day rather than a legal box to tick before the party. Writing the ceremony is a shared process. It starts with an informal meeting over coffee, a walk or a video call to see if you click. Jaya then sends both of you lighthearted questionnaires and blends your answers and her own observations into a story told like a romantic comedy, with the two of you as the leads. Vow writing support includes a guide and a brainstorming session, and the finished vows are printed on keepsake cards. Every ceremony comes with a Bose S1 Pro speaker and Sennheiser cordless microphone, so guests hear clearly and videographers get good audio. The legal paperwork is handled, and the official marriage certificate from NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages is paid for and posted to you. Afterwards, couples receive notes on changing their name and a copy of the ceremony. Jaya also works as a reception MC, helping with the run sheet before the wedding and keeping speeches, games, cake and music cues on track on the night. Packages range from the full Martini ceremony to a short-and-sweet option, an elopement for fewer than 20 guests and a legal-only ceremony.
