ALLL THE THINGS FOR YOUR BEST DAY EVER

Simplified + Amplified Wedding Planning

Planning a wedding can feel like juggling a million things at once. We understand. That's why we've curated the five essential elements to make your day magical, stress-free, and unforgettable. From the vows to the last dance, we've got you covered.

We believe that being the best wedding celebrant requires you to also be a good human!

That’s not as conceited a claim as it sounds, promise. In fact, we believe that doing anything truly well requires genuine empathy and bona fide enthusiasm. We adore what we do, and we wholeheartedly identify with every one of our soon-to-be-wed couples. It can’t be just coincidence that – after more than a decade in the wedding industry – we’re yet to have a first-hand account of a bride-/groom-zilla and have countless lasting connections with ex-’clients’. We ask all of our wedding couples to “dig-deep” when it comes to the giving of themselves, and because of this process, we’re generally fortunate enough to walk away post-ceremony and consider ourselves not only your abso-fave gold coast wedding celebrant but also your friend.

Now imagine this…

Jake and Lei-Ahna are a husband-wife team who have been involved in the wedding industry for years

More than a decade of experience has taught them that injecting personality, empathy, humour and realness DOES NOT have to come at the expense of aesthetics or professionalism. And their Gold Coast-based company Janda Events was born of this simple lesson. Janda Events is renowned throughout the region for providing seriously talented wedding musicians and marriage celebrants with personality and attention to detail – and individually, Jake and Lei have cemented themselves as revered and sought-after modern Gold Coast Wedding Celebrants.

Promise it’s not just a blatant keyword drop when we say ‘you could refer to them as the Australian Bridal Guide’s dream team!’ The proof is in the pudding – and the pudding is made of 5-star google reviews. So whether you need an epic wedding soundtrack or a kick-ass wedding celebrant for your dream ceremony, the Janda Fam will deliver in spades.

“Lei is an absolute genius. The ceremony she created for us was perfect. She made us laugh and cry and feel totally loved-up. Lei, you absolutely made the day!” –

 Why Lovelei Weddings & the Janda Events?

Real Humans

There’s nothing realer than two human beings bearing their hearts. Your celebrant is going to facilitate this. Your kind of human will more naturally set the tone for your best day ever.

Celebrant + Soundtrack

A handful of years ago Janda Events pioneered the concept of getting your wedding celebrant & wedding musician on the same page. Today their Celebrant + Soundtrack package gives you more options, with less homework.

Expertise

Lei and Jake are the head and heart behind one of the wedding industry’s most revered brands – Janda Events. Few can boast their experience and expertise, so you can rest easy knowing your best day ever is in the best possible hands.

Bespoke

This aint fast fashion and one size most certainly doesn’t fit all. You are 2 unique bunches of molecules (sexy, right!) and so absolutely deserve the kind of one-off ceremony befitting such a match-making miracle.

Lei + Jake are good vibes kinda people. They want your wedding celebration to be the absolute best party you can imagine being at. That means creating a space and place that you simultaneously feel comfy and safe, all the while buzzing with excitement and anticipation. They pride themselves on capturing your personality and amplifying your joy. Good Vibes Guaranteed.

Lei believes hum-drum ceremonies
belong in the past

That times have changed. And that, while tradition is lovely, your wedding ceremony can be chock-full of loveliness and heart and happiness, simply by keeping it human. Lei will get to know you (a process that will no doubt be a pleasure for both you guys, and her) – like, really get to know you – and craft a ceremony that speaks of where you come from; what you’re passionate about; and who you truly are. And on the day she’ll be that bubbly, positive friend that makes you feel comfortable, confident and empowered – just by being around.

Lei loves nothing more than getting to know you and your unique love story.

She wants all the juicy deets! Like which dating app you met on, who said I love you first, embarrassing pet names you have for each other, and more. From the deep to the dorky details of your relationship, Lei collates it all and takes your family and friends on a journey. There’ll be the perfect mix of nostalgia, humour and heart. Not only will your favourite people get to reminisce, but they may even learn some new things about you two. Heck, you may learn a new factoid about each other! One thing’s for sure – your ceremony will be loaded with feels that resonate with you.

Lei knows that weddings are inherently stressful events to pull together and that you’ve likely got loads on your plate, so it’s always her aim as a marriage celebrant to make the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From the initial communications and meetings, through to the lodgement of your legal paperwork, you’ll be kept in the loop while she takes care of it all.

Let’s end this struggle

WHETHER IT’S GOLD COAST, BRISBANE, BYRON OR BALI, LOVELEI WEDDINGS + JANDA EVENTS WILL BRING THE GOOD VIBES

How will it feel…

Everyone knows all the best movies have a killer soundtrack. Your wedding day should have one too.

It’s called a Wedding ‘Soundtrack’ rather than just Wedding Music because it’s truly more than that. The ‘pub music’ approach (ie. 40min sets, 20min breaks; set in stone) is great in the Pub – but that’s where it should stay. Your wedding deserves (and no doubt, will require) a far more tailored and fluid approach. Your wedding musician will need to work to your day’s runsheet, liaise with your MC and/or coordinator, and essentially keep their head on a swivel to ensure that the right song and vibe happens at the right time.

instagram skills for the sophisticated CEO

Few things evoke raw emotion like a professional acoustic soloist. But your day will likely require some higher vibrations too when the time comes, transitions into your wedding DJ to keep the good times rolling.

Have we met yet? I’m Lei

A wedding celebrant with sunshine in her soul and the best wedding wing woman. 

Lei-Ahna keeps her husband, kids, border collie and the Janda Fam alive, so I think she can handle your best day ever. She’s a lover of fashion, a lover of laughter, and a lover of human beings. Especially ones in love with each other.

Regardless of the size of your posse, or the location of your wedding ceremony, Lei brings warmth, laughter, and a feeling of togetherness to your ceremony space. A space that – let’s face it – can easily feel tense, awkward or stressy. Whether it’s an intimate elopement with just your immediate fam and closest humans or a big, bold, boisterous wedstival vibe, Lei has a way of making everyone feel like a dear friend. Did we mention she also loves a laugh? She is famous for that laugh. And for good reason. It’s contagious and disarming, and a much-loved extension of her true personality.

Let’s get crystal clear…

  • Lei will be with you from the very start of your day all the way to the end. She will be your Celebrant, MC, Co-Ordinator and DJ.

  • Jake will be your guy on the day, he will be your Celebrant, MC, Co-Ordinator, Live Musician & DJ. Depending on schedules Lei can step in to be your Celebrant, MC + Co-Ordinator and Jake will be your live musician + DJ.

  • This is the beauty of hiring a full time wedding professional. This is exactly what we do day in and day out. We find these core elements of your day work seamlessly together and we share all of the same information. We also work as a team behind the scenes and ask more questions than you’ve ever thought of.
