Hey! my name is Ben Jones,

However- you will most often hear me answering to Benny, Wah, Jonesy or my favourite name… DAD!

I'm a proud Newcastle local who loves spending time with my three beautiful kids, my amazing wife Alyse, and a great bunch of mates.

Celebrancy is not my full-time gig, and that’s exactly why I love it.
It’s my passion project. It means I get to pour genuine time and energy into making every ceremony fun, unique, and unforgettable. No recycled scripts, just heartfelt storytelling, good laughs, and moments you’ll actually remember. During the week, I work as a national trainer in trauma and child protection across Australia. It’s tough work, but incredibly rewarding. Come the weekend, I switch gears to help amazing couples say "I do"! Honestly, it’s a bloody good side hustle getting to create your Best Day Ever!!

Why did I become a celebrant?
Before my own wedding, I figured the ceremony would be the boring bit. You know, long readings, candles, and churches. But our celebrant was absolutely hilarious and made the whole thing fun, meaningful, and engaging. That lit a spark in me. Add to that the fact I kept getting asked to MC weddings, and I figured, why not step it up and bring the full celebrant package?

Outside of all that, you’ll usually find me hanging with the fam, cranking good tunes, heading off on a road trip, watching or playing any sport, and enjoying a cold beer. Alyse and I are also proud foster carers for at-risk youth, which keeps us grounded and connected to what really matters.

Above all, I love a good chinwag.
If you want to know more, just reach out. I’d love to hear your story.
