Hey, I’m Ben Jones! Though you’ll usually hear me answer to Benny, Jonesy, or my favourite title… Dad

I’m a proud Newcastle local, married to my incredible wife Alyse, dad to three beautiful kids Charli, Coen & Carter. I am a Marriage Celebrant, MC, Boxing Announcer, and full time Vibe Setter.

Most weekends you will find me marrying amazing couples, hyping rooms, wrangling microphones, and making sure moments land the way they’re meant to…. FUN, heartfelt, relaxed, and unforgettable.

I genuinely love people, big energy, big laughs, and telling stories that actually feel like you. Nothing stiff, scripted or recycled….

If you’re looking for a Newcastle or Hunter Valley wedding celebrant and MC who brings confidence, warmth, humour, and zero boredom or awkward filler, you’re in the right place.

This is where good vibes meet meaningful moments… and where your wedding gets the vibe it deserves!

Meet Benny Jones

  • I love a good laugh, and I genuinely love telling stories that matter.

    What I’m known for is creating relaxed, engaging, and unforgettable wedding ceremonies! The kind where guests are belly laughing one minute, wiping their eyes the next, and still talking about it!

    No recycled scripts.
    No awkward, generic fillers.
    No “we’ve heard this before” moments.

    Just your story, delivered with warmth, fun, a sprinkle of humour, big energy and a whole lot of heart.

    During the week, I work nationally as a trainer in trauma and child protection across Australia. That experience shapes how I show up on wedding days. I can read a room, hold space when it matters, and know exactly when to lift the energy or let a moment land.

  • Before my own wedding, I thought the ceremony would be the boring bit.

    But our celebrant completely flipped that expectation. It was funny, meaningful, and had everyone genuinely engaged. That moment lit a spark.

    Add in years of being asked to MC all of my mates’ weddings, and it made perfect sense to bring both together.

    Now, I help couples turn their wedding ceremony that set the tone and vibe of the whole day… not just the part you get through to reach the party!

    Outside of weddings, you’ll usually find me with the family, cranking good tunes, heading off on a road trip, watching sport, or enjoying a cold beer with good people.

    My wife Alyse and I are also proud foster carers for at risk youth as well as parents, which keeps us grounded and connected to what really matters! Showing up, caring deeply, and having a bloody good time!

    If you’re looking for a Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Central Coast or Port Stephens wedding celebrant who feels like a mate, keeps your guests engaged, and tells your story with genuine heart and fun, I’d love to hear from you.

  • Ben MC

    "Over a decade in the industry, I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside many talented people… but you, mate, are truly one of the greats. A brilliant celebrant, a phenomenal MC, and on top of that...just a solid, salt of the earth kind of guy

    Frankie- Salt Shaker Films

  • “Where do i even begin.. Ben Jones would have to be the most down to earth, most genuine, funniest, sincerest guy (other than my husband lol). He truly is amazing & one of a kind. From the moment we met Ben, it felt like we’d known him forever.”

    Danielle & Byron, Port Stephens

  • "Without a doubt, the best celebrant we could have asked for! So many of our guests asked us how we knew Ben, because clearly he had to have grown up with us. Now if that isn’t the ultimate compliment for how good he is at his job, I don’t know what is."

    Abby & Alex, Tocal, Hunter Valley
