Our friends and
family all commented on how impressed they were by you,
our celebrant. They were impacted by the uniqueness of
our ceremony and how it 'touched all bases'
regarding our love, marriage, us, family, etc. You were
truly 'there' from day one, making the legal
requirements a breeze and your accessibility for
questions or concerns was second to none. The process
you have in place for the preparation of our ceremony
was so impressive and provided an opportunity for us,
not only to assist in writing our ceremony, but, in
reflecting upon and our love, and intentions for
marriage and the wedding was more thorough and useful
than our pre-marriage counseling in many regards! We
chose you after being dissatisfied with our original
celebrant and you did not disap
point! You were way
beyond!! Jennifer, you truly understand, convey, and
commit yourself to the intensely important nature of
marriage and your role in solemnising marriages. You are
also just a very articulate, diligent, warm, committed,
intelligent, thoughtful, accessible, competent, person.
We highly recommend you and thank you for making our
ceremony special, modern, inspired, inspiring and
blessed. Thank you and our very best wishes to you for
lots of joy. - Leigh
and Francesc, who married in a bilingual English and
Catalan ceremony which celebrated both cultures. Read all about it in Queensland
Brides. Photos courtesy of Andrea Thompson.
Both Roselyn and I would like to thank you for the wonderful service and ceremony you conducted for us. We'll forward some photos to you as soon as we get a chance. We shall consider you as part of our family from now on. Thank you again for everything. - Alan and Roselyn who married in a intimate lunch-time wedding in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens in the presence of close family and friends, a pair of canoodling waterhens, and a very stately water dragon.
It was a wonderful experience to
have the ceremony performed by you, with whom we just
met on the day. It made us feel warm and comfortable - Chor and Chloe who
married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding at
the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha. All
arrangements had been made by email because of
distance.
Our ceremony was very special and I loved
it. It was very personalised from the trans
lation into German to the surprise
moment with the Pandora charm. Jennifer, you were so
thoughtful in putting the ceremony together. We really
appreciated it. We were so busy in the lead up to the
wedding that we didn't have time to think things
through. You came up with great sugggestions which
made the ceremony very special. My parents very much
appreciated the translation into German, so thank you
for taking the plunge and performing the German part. - Beate and Colin
who married at Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens in a
bilingual ceremony and included family members in a
variant of the Sand Ceremony.
Hi Jenny, Daryl
and I wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the
time and effort you put into making our wedding ceremony
something to remember. The way in which you weaved the
special moments in our lives into the ceremony and
included Daryl's children was just perfect for us. Daryl
said his favourite part was the surprise song at the
start - he was stunned that we had managed to keep part
of the ceremony secret from him and said it was a very
special, emotional moment for him! We have had
innumerable compliments on the content of the ceremony
from our guests, the most flattering of which, or rather
the ones that mean the most to us, were from those who
said that that it was "just so very Daryl & Ash". I
said to you right from the start that we wanted a
light-hearted 
yet
meaningful ceremony that wouldn't bore the guests to
tears and you gave us just that. Not only did you
deliver a great ceremony, you also made sure all the
paperwork was taken care of, were always on time for our
meetings and even made contact with our photographer to
introduce yourself and give her a heads up on the
"special" moments during the ceremony. We spent a
considerable amount of time looking at various
celebrants, because we knew that the ceremony would set
the tone for day - your ceremony set the scene for what
continued on to be a most wonderful occasion, so thank
you Jenny, from the bottom of our hearts, for being part
of our special day. Kind Regards- Daryl & Ashleigh
(Children of the Sun!), who married in the Hall at Old
Government House in a ceremony that was "traditional
with a twist". Before Ashleigh made her Daryl's two
children walked down the aisle and stood hand in hand
with their father as they watched Ashleigh walk down
the aisle. After the intro and a few sweet words
directed to them it was a time for a group hug before
they went and sat in the front row with their
grandparents. At the end of the ceremony they
participated in a Truce Bell Ritual, adapted for the
family.Our ceremony was everything we hoped it to be and more. It reflected us perfectly to which our guests have since shared these thoughts with us. Our atheism was well represented in a thoughtful way that was respectful to other’s
beliefs. One guest said to us that
“after being to many wedding ceremonies, this one was a
breath of fresh air.” It was important that our guests
enjoyed our ceremony and found it inclusive and we
believe that this was achieved. Thank you for an
absolutely wonderful ceremony and very special memories. - Maree and Jon who married in a Humanist
Ceremony at the Powerhouse and involved their mothers
in the ceremony. Photo courtesy of Todd Hunter

I liked
how the ceremony went, especially how the rings were
done, and the way you incorporated Russian tradition. We
thought you made the ceremony interesting and kept the
ceremony going at the right pace. The people at the
ceremony liked your work! - Tanya and Ian who married in a relaxed and
happy Warm
and Wonderful Weekday Wedding that included
references to both cultures
Everything just went really smoothly. Jenny was very flexible and adaptable to change of venue and time. The added extra she included was also a lovely surprise. - Erin and Lachlan who married at Flying Duck in the Roma Street Parklands.
You made our day very special. Everyone felt comfortable and at ease. You brought both smiles and tears to our day. Love - Darren and Netty, who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding in the Vice-Regal Room at Eagle Farm Racecourse.
we chose you to be our wedding
celebrant. The ceremony itself was just beautiful
and your personal style from start to finish was
very much appreciated. We are still receiving
comments from our families and those that attended
about just how wonderful the ceremony was - it
brought a tear to many of our guests. We really do
appreciate all of the assistance that you provided
us in arranging paperwork for the visa and all of
your helpful advice about the ceremony itself to
ensure that everything ran so smoothly on the day.
Our very best wishes to you for the future.
Warmest regards - Brett and Chonthicha who
married in the Garden Marquee at Victoria Park
Golf Complex in a ceremony that integrated
customs from both cultures. Chonthica wore a
traditional outfit that was a fabulous mix of
maroon, cream and gold.
Dear
Jenny, We would like to express our sincere
thanks to you for applying what seems to be 'a natural
gift' in your ability to be engaging, sincere,
lighthearted, and relaxing as a marriage celebrant.
You have a well honed talent to make a ceremony feel
intimate, friendly, and full of the magic of Love that
flows from you to all the guests, and of course the
two of us as a couple. We are both sincerely thankful
that we chose you to celebrate this most important,
tender and
love-filled day of our lives. You are indeed one of
those gifted beings sent here to make the experience
of a marriage ceremony
an overwhelmingly joyous event. Thank you! -Monique and Mike who
married at the Sierra Grand at Broadbeach.Jenny, your care and attention to our needs, as well as your evident experience and knowledge, allowed us to expres
s how we feel about
each other and acknowledge this stage of our
relationship in front of people close to us. Your
were personable and professional in all respects.
Your assistance with developing the ceremony was
timely and ambitious and we had faith in your
expertise from the very beginning. your conception
and performance on the day, along with the
photographer (whom you recommended), have given us
precious and joyful memories we will cherish for
the rest of our lives - Andrew and Fahad who
had only 10 days to arrange their handfasting
commitment ceremony before they headed overseas.
Lots of rabbits were pulled out of hats in the
process!
Jennifer was extremely helpful in getting of the associated paperwork [Prospective Spouse Visa] completed. Her assistance was invaluable. We chose to have a relatively basic ceremony, which was well-handled. Jennifer's calmness and friendliness helped make Marlene and I feel relaxed and allowed us to enjoy the ceremony. Jennifer related to our guests and family so well. - Robin and Marlene who married on the top of Limestone Hill in Ipswich in a late afternoon Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding.
Hi Jennifer, Ian and I would like to say a very big thank you for performing our ceremony on Saturday. You did a beautiful job and we loved everything about the ceremony. You made our day. With many thanks - Ian and Tamika xx. When their original venue went under when the Brisbane River broke its banks on 12 January, Ian and Tamika had only a couple of days to find an alternative for both their ceremony and their reception. The Bearded Dragon at Tamborine could help out and the day turned out really well, with a lovely new setting, and a very happy, relaxed ceremony including a unique ritual developed for the occasion, as reported in the Gold Coast Bulletin.
Jennifer, Thank you so much for performing our ceremony. It surpassed our wishes. You created a perfect atmosphere and c
onducted a
ceremony that conveyed our relationship and who we are
perfectly. We loved it! The ceremony was even better
than I imagined, relaxed, fun, intimate.
Dear Jenny, We
can't thank you enough for all the hard work and
dedication to every little detail that you have put
into our ceremony. The day turned out better than we
could possibly ask for and is sure to be a fond memory
forever for the guests and for ourselves. You were
able to provide confidence and reliability the whole
way through and put our worries about our wedding
plans at ease. Guests have commented on how well the
ceremony was put together and were also very impressed
by your confidence and organising skills. Thank you. -
Josh and Fiona, who
made the arrangements for their wedding from Sydney
and married at L'Esprit
on the Water after a last minute change
from the planned outdoor venue when it became
apparent the day before that thunderstorms and heavy
rain had set in and the covered area they had
planned to use as their Plan B could be quite
dangerous because of surrounding trees. Because I
don't book multiple ceremonies we were able to move
the ceremony back by 2 hours to coincide with the
start time for their booking at the venue.
cted
you. It was the little extras that I never
expected that I will always the remember, the gift bag
you gave us during the ceremony and the email you sent
me to let me know what time that sun would be setting
that day. You truly made the ceremony one thing
that I didn’t have to worry about. I also think
that after a wedding you sit back and really look at
where you spent and was it worth it. I’m sure most
couples do this as everyone’s looking for value for
money these day and I really do think I got more than
my money’s worth with the lovely ceremony that you
performed. - Kristin
and Turama chose the Warm
and Wonderful Weekday Wedding level of service
for their wedding on the 10th tee at Wynnum Golf
Club.
From our initial enquiry to the end
of the ceremony you were very helpful and guided
us through the legal details.
You made our special day the more memorable with your
personalizing of our ceremony to suit us – loved
the figure 9 knot tying mechanism – it was great! I chose Jennifer Cram from her Internet Website because she had good knowledge of immigration procedures. She was very friendly and replied to my emails thoughtfully and in depth. I was a very disorganised bride, leaving everything to the last minute, but Jennifer helped me so much. Her service was beautiful and arranged around the fact that we had not purchased rings. Everything was done with so much care and thought. People commented to me how lovely and not boring the service was. Jennifer made our day very special, and I'm so grateful for how talking to Jennifer helped calm my nerves. I feel grateful that fate lead us to her website. Best Wishes and with Love from Louise and Michael xxxx, who married at Reid's Place at Scarborough.
It was warm and intimate while being welcoming to family. The ribbon ceremony was fun and brought us to work together to start out marriage. Doing our ceremony by email was very handy and very impressive with how well it turned out. It was perfect! - Cate and Mark who travelled up from Newcastle for their No Fuss Intimate Wedding at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens
I
felt that the ceremony was appropriate for William and
myself. It was the perfect length and the "gift" was a
lovely touch. There were a lot of positive comments
from the attendees. You were able to troubleshoot and
were flexible when looking for alternative venues when
the weather turned foul at the very last minute. - Amanda and William who
married at the Gayundah Arboretum, a more sheltered
venue than their original choice of Tingara Park in
a ceremony that featured two bright blue vintage
pickup trucks.Dear Jennifer, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most beautiful wedding ceremony. Sean and I were truly truly amazed and overwhelmed by how wonderful the service was. You were absolutely brilliant and we will be eternally grateful for what you did for us. So many of our friends and family have rated it the best wedding they've been to and thought you were just sublime. They actually thought we had known you for a very long time as you seemed to know us so well! They were shocked when we told them we had only met you very recently... In all seriousness you were perfect. Thank you. Love - Alexandra and Sean who married at a private residence with a bridal party which consisted of their 8 nieces and nephews.
My new husband
and I were married by Jennifer Cram on Oct 2 2010.
She came with very high recommendations and at no
point in developing the ceremony were we
disappointed. After our first meeting with Jennifer
in our home we felt her warmth and understanding
along with her experience could create a ceremony
that would be romantic, memorable and unique. This
is exactly what Jennifer achieved. We were calm and
enjoyed every minute of it. Many of our guests
commented positively about how much they enjoyed it.
Thanks to Jennifer we have the most wonderful
memories of our wedding which, from the beginning to
the end was our kind of perfect. - Victoria and Alex who
married in the chapel at Woodlands of Marburg.
Good
morning Jennifer just wanted to say thank you so
much for the beautiful ceremony you put together for
myself and Kris we thought the day was just
wonderful. - Belinda and Kris who married in an
intimate ceremony in the City Botanic Gardens
Good Afternoon
Jennifer! Thank you so very much for making
our special day so much more special, unique and full of
love! Everyone that was at the ceremony have been
commenting for the last month about how impressed they
were with the relaxed, fun and loving feeling the
ceremony had, a lot people commented that it felt like
you had known us for many years, the way you made the
ceremony so personal and special! Once again thank
you so much, you did everything we wanted and the day
was exactly how we wanted it to be! You are a very
special celebrant! PS. a lot of Ryan’s cousins have been
getting engaged lately so I have passed your details on.
- Linell and Ryan who
married at Newstead Park. Hi Jenny, Mark and I would like to thank you for helping us have the most wonderful wedding day. We told our families and friends on Saturday night at the party. Everyone was very pleased albiet very surprised. Kind regards - Karyn and Mark who eloped to Moora Park for an early morning wedding that included a handfasting using Mark's family tartan.
Dear Jenny, Thank you so
much being such a fantastic celebrant at our wedding
on the 28th August. We really appreciate all the
effort you put in, especially with the short amount
of time we had. Thanks again - Amy and Fraaz, whose
intimate wedding, surrounded by family and
friends, at a private home, included a
purpose-created unity ritual.
Jennifer, Thank you so much
for giving us a perfect day despite the rain. We
loved our day. We liked that everything flowed
naturally, also not stiff and formal. Everyone
responded very well to you. Your subtle direction of
the event was very welcome. We feel that despite the
rain, we have no regrets. Best wishes. PS Thank you
for taking our group photos! - Richard & Ji
Hyeon who were married at the Brisbane Botanic
Gardens, Mt Coot-tha in a ceremony that incorporated
elements of both Scottish and Korean cultures.
Dear Jenny,
Thank you so much for composing and conducting our
wedding ceremony. We've just got the DVD back and
re-lived the experience. It was perfect. We were so
happy to meet you after struggling to find the
celebrant for us. From briefing us about the legal
requirements, the surveys, drafting, patience with
our motley crew at the rehearsal, calm confidence
and charisma on the day through to your
name-changing instructions, we enjoyed working with
you and were in good hands! Thank you - Rowan and
Michael, who married in a chapel ceremony that
incorporated their Scottish heritage and included
family members. The whole thing was great. We loved that it was personal to us and not at all generic. Everyone loved how personal it was. - Amy and Bryce whose grandfathers and cute little dogs played an active role in their marriage ceremony on the Wynnum Foreshore.
In our experience Jennifer Cram excels in her professionalism and attention to detail. She ensures all formalities go through smoothly and provides valuable advice at the right time, putting our mind at ease. Much appreciated for your loving care - Jean and Sam who married in a quiet ceremony with just two witnesses.
Dear JennyWhen Monique and I decided to get married in Australia, it was a very scary step for us. The only wedding knowledge we had was from movies. This made the event planning even harder. During our planning, you were always the first to respond to our replies (no matter how early/late). In the weeks leading to our special day, your guidance and wealth of knowledge helped us with writing our own vows and love letters. your thoughts and ideas of how to include our family, who could not be with us, in the ceremony made the event truly unique. Your unforeseen and new challenge that was included in our wedding ceremony gave us many laughs. It will be an event we will enjoy telling to our children. Thank you for your very thoughtful, romantic, intimate and memorable ceremony. Regards, Andrew and Monique who held their ceremony at Walkabout Creek.
Thank you for your on-going
support and creation of our wedding ceremony. Right
from the start we knew our wedding was in capable,
loving hands and we felt our unique needs were
supported from start to finish. Our wedding was
a testament to the depth of your professionalism,
creativity, sensitivity, and experience. All of our
friends and family can't stop talking about how
moving, inspiring, and connecting our wedding ceremony
was for everyone present. Many have commented that it
was the best wedding they had ever been to and we will
be recommending your wihtout any hestitations. Thank
you for the beautiful keepsakes and the special
memories that will remain in our hearts forever. With
love and blessings - Trish
and Francis, who married at Roma Street Parkland and
included their children, siblings, and friends in a
ceremony that featured a mix of traditional and
innovative ritual.The review Trish sent to a bridal directory site: From: Ms Trish B. Score: 5/5 Comments: "Jennifer was wealth of information and support and with us all the way from our meeting right thru to the wedding day. Her knowledge and experience was apparent in way she helped us create the most amazing heart felt ceremony that was stress free and connecting for everyone involved. Preparation and attention to detail was outstanding and we highly recommend her."
Getting married is a big step no matter what age you're at, and I felt very supported during the process. It was dealt with calmly but with a sense of importance. I felt very comfortable with Jenny as a person. She is a warm lady and, I feel, instantly likeable and friendly and kind in her approach which made me feel very happy. The ceremony was executed as planned with confidence and charm and was very appropriate in its style. Serious, but pleasant and joyful! Thank you very much Jenny. - Melanie who married Julian in a traditional ceremony on the verandah at Hillstone St Lucia.
ul and memorable. The ceremony was
tailored to our requirements and struck just the
right note for us as it was very professionally
prepared and presented and was structured very much
according to our wishes. It had just the right
balance of humour/seriousness and
formality/informality. The preparation and other
services provided were excellent. Our nerves were
eased by the preparation and advice and the easy
manner of Jennifer. We are very pleased with every
aspect of our wedding. With best regards - Chris and Lou who
married at Dockside in a very happy ceremony
incorporating members of their family and a
Bouquet of Love and Support ritual. 
Jennifer conducted a
beautiful and intimate ceremony for us. She made it
very personal and everyone who attended felt part of
our special day. She was very experienced and gave
us invaluable tips and advice in the preparation for
our ceremony. We'd like to thank her for making it
such a memorable day. - Hue and Alex, who married at Newstead Park.Our most sincere thankyou, Jenny, for making our wedding day so special. It was important to Sam and I that our ceremony was personal and inclusive of our guests and you did everything to make sure that this was the case. So many of our friends commented on how much they enjoyed the service, so thank you for all your help and hard work. Nothing seemed like too much trouble, so it was an absolutely pleasure having you share in our special day. All the best for the future - Sam and D, who married on the lovely deck at Franklin Villa and involved their brothers and sisters in the ceremony.
mony you put together. All
the guests commented on what a great job you did
encapsulating our relationship. So, THANK YOU!! - Allison and Rohan who
incorporated a Rose ceremony in their
marriage ceremony in the beautiful gardens of
Topiaries at Beaumont. Photo courtesy of ngg studiosThank you so much for writing such a beautiful, personalised, yet 'non-cheesy' ceremony for us, Jenny. Arranging it was so seamless and easy and the finished product was just perfect for us. Our guests have been expr
essing their
praise for you and the ceremony repeatedly, and keep
asking us all about how we found you, how you arranged
it etc. Some guests, especially some male ones, found it
far more touching than they would ever have expected,
and are quite fascinated that you were able to do that!
All your help and advice with the legalities of
marriage, eg documents, paperwork, name-changing advice,
has also been absolutely invaluable to us. In short, we
made absolutely the right decision in booking you as our
celebrant, Jenny. We are absolutely thrilled with what
you did for our ceremony - it was quite simply, perfect.
Thank you, XX - Sandra
and Kai who married at Woodlands of Marburg in a
ceremony that included both of their grandfathers and
featured a purpose-created "insurance policy"
ritual. Photo courtesy of Photos by DeeWe couldn't think of a more beautiful wedding experience. We didn't expect all the extra special touches that made our day perfect. We were so lucky to have chosen you and have already recommended you to some friends planning to marry. Sonya and Jamie married on the beach at Redcliffe in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding.
Hi Jennifer, Brett and I would like to say a HUGE thank you for the wonderful job you did for us yesterday. It was such a lovely ceremony, we couldn't have asked for a better one. Everyone of our guests said that the ceremony was beautiful, especially with your added touches. Thank You again and we will definitely recommend you to any of our friends who want to get married. - Jess and Brett who married in a late afternoon Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding ceremony in a private garden.
Jenny has some lovely finishing touches which made the day really special. Her choice of wording and sense of occasion are all extremely approprate and made everyone feel relaxed. We both had a fab day as did our guests. We were given good advice and help all along. We both 'switched off' to the outside world during the ceremony and definitely feel we made the best choice. - Clare and Damien who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding on Scarborough Beach.
Dearest Jenny,
Allow me first to say
how privileged Shaun and I felt having you as our
celebrant on our special day; words cannot express how
appreciative we were to have such a professional and
heartfelt celebrant and for that we are most thankful!
Our family and friends repeatedly commented on what a
wonderful choice we made in choosing you to be our
celebrant and how lovely the ceremony itself was; unique
and charming, involved all our honoured guests but was
personalised enough that everyone felt it perfectly
described our love for one another! It truly was a
magnificent ceremony and we would both very much like to
thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us
through it and making it as special as it was for
us. If every wedding you do is as great as ours was,
every couple should be thrilled! Many thanks again - Michelle and Shaun who
married by the Brisbane River at Sir Manuel Hornibrook
Park.
Dearest Jenny, Warren & I
would like to thank you for all you did for our
wedding. We haven't even been married a week,
but have already been inundated with calls, comments,
emails etc. about how incredibly unique and
personal our ceremony was, and none of our guests have
ever experienced anything like it. You delivered
everything we asked, and everything we wanted for our
wedding ceremony. You were incredibly professional and
helpful throughout all the preparations, and we
greatly appreciate everything you did to make our day
so special. It was the most beautiful perfect day - no
words to describe it. Thank you so much for
being such a huge part in it all. Much love Anna & Warren - who
held their ceremony incorporating elements to honour
the Groom's Scottish
heritage next to the creek at Bundaleer
Rainforest Gardens.

After attending a wedding six months after her own
at Indooroopilly Golf Club, Melissa sent the
following reflection:
Hi Jenny,
Well its been almost six months
since Andrew and I got married. We both went to a
wedding last night and I felt compelled to write to
you today. Last night's ceremony was nice however I
couldn't help but notice the celebrant lacked the
attention to detail which you had. Throughout the
ceremony I wondered if she considered the following:
- her dress choice - which was red, purple, orange and yellow, low cut and bright.
- the music - which was cut off mid-song when the bride arrived.
- the PA system - there wasn't one. It was an outside ceremony and I missed some of it because I couldn't hear her.
- the pink lacy bra she was wearing which we could see, in all its glory, when she bent forward to light the candle;
- did she consider the cheap fluro pink plastic folder she had her documents in?
- did she consider where she was standing - I couldn't get a good photo of the bride and groom because she was in the way!
- the ceremony content - I left the ceremony thinking.. Where did they meet? How did they meet? who are the people in their bridal party?
I don't mean to be disrespectful to the
celebrant of last night's wedding. Unfortunately for
yesterday's wedding service, all these minor things
added and I walked away dissatisfied with the
service. I didn't think about these small things
when booking your services and I certainly didn't
think to ask about them... but I sure am glad you paid
attention to detail. Yesterday's wedding has
highlighted the standard of professionalism we got
from you leading up to and during our wedding day - it
was the best service we could have imagined. Our
guests commented on how personalised our service was
and even commented on your emotive responses on the
day. I am so pleased they remember you for all the
right things. Although I sent you a 'thank you'
card after our wedding day I just felt compelled to
write to you and say thank you again Jenny. I wonder
if I'll ever go to another wedding ceremony and
actually see a celebrant who has paid attention to
every little detail like you. You helped to make our
day memorable and you've set the standard high.
Regards, Melissa
Our Warm
and Wonderful Weekday Wedding with Jenny far
surpassed what we were expecting. When we deci
ded
to “elope” whilst on holiday in Australia, we had
thought we would be having a fairly dry ceremony in a
registry office but Jenny’s service meant that what we
had was very much different from those expectations.
As we were organising our
wedding from overseas, Jenny’s professionalism and
attention to detail was key. As we were
unfamiliar with Brisbane, Jenny helped us choose our
venue and provided us with internet links and photos
of some of the places available. She gave us step by
step guidance regarding all the Australian legal
requirements and her prompt and complete communication
was excellent, removing any worry at our end.
She anticipated our questions making the process as
easy as if we were in Brisbane!
We were both very moved by the ceremony itself and it was Jenny’s small, personalised touches that really made it so special for us. We would very strongly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a celebrant! - Jane and Euan who married at Roma Street Parkland the day after they arrived in Australia.
When the whole ceremony came together on the day we both knew that this was as good as it gets. Our guests were pleasantly surprised by the ceremony and for us they felt equal players on the day. Because each person had a chance to speak we had no need for speeches @ the post-wedding meal! We felt totally supported, even when we had moments of blankness and forgot our own names. - Pam and Paul who travelled from England to be married at Mt Pleasant in an informal intimate wedding.
Dear Jenny, Thank-you, once
again, for such a lovely and for us perfect ceremony!
Many people commented on how special and different it
was, and how much they enjoyed the personalised style
- especially the wording of the ceremony!! It was
created perfectly for us and that was recognised by
everyone there. It was a perfect evening and wedding.
We also enjoyed the lead-up. Thanks for your patience
and utter professionalism! - Amber and Leonie who
travelled from Germany to celebrate their
relationship with a handfasting at Sassafras Café at
Paddington.
A remarkably
professional service. Not able to be improved upon.
Our family and friends were very impressed. We give
thanks that A.J. guided us towards your person. -Heather and Keith who
celebrated 50 years of marriage with a ceremony held
at Woodlands of Marburg.
Hi Jennifer, We just wanted to thank you for the lovely ceremony-it was just what we wanted and everyon
e commented on how well it
went. I thought you withstood the horrible heat
impressively, sorry about that! Again many thanks - Jamila and Jeremy whose
intimate wedding was held in the courtyard of the
luxury beach house they'd rented for the occasion.
Thank you so very much for your efforts
toward such a very special day and wonderful ceremony :
) I truly can't imagine having done it any
other way and your style and approach really set the
tone and helped make the magic of the whole day.
Overall, I am absolutely impressed by the way you
operate - the unique tailoring of the ceremony, the
prolific resource base and well thought-out
considerations you helped us manage. I also very
much appreciated the surprise and lovely hard-copy of
the ceremony you prepared for us. You looked fabulous on
the day as well as shaped how things traveled, without
having to overly direct us. If we have cause for
celebration shortly down the track - it will be lovely
to have you lead this. In the meantime, I have
already been promoting your fabulousness to various
couples who are commencing their wedding plans.
Sincerest thanks and affection - Megan and John who married
in an intimate ceremony held in the City Botanic
GardensHi Jennifer,
Svetlana and I have just arrived back from our honeymoon, we had a wonderful time at Twin Water resort. We also had a a fantastic reception and our ceremony was great, God was looking down on us on Saturday before he let the heavens open up with rain, we were very lucky. We would like to thank you for our ceremony and all that you did for us it was a wonderful day, THANK YOU very much. With love and respect, David and Svetlana, who married at Centenary Lakes, Caboolture with family, friends and a large flock of cockatoos in attendance.
Both Fabrizio and I would like
to thank you for a beautiful memorable day. You really
made our special day special. All our friends and family
commented on the great job you done. Your words where
really sweet and meant a lot to us. It was obvious to
all that you really enjoy your job and are very
dedicated and put in the effort to learn a little about
us and then use that in your service. Gulay and Fabrizio who
married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding at the
Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha I/We wish to express our sincere thanks to you, Jennifer, for making our Wedding Day and Ceremony and guests feel so happy. You did everything and more than we could have hoped for. The way you worded the ceremony, our thoughts, hopes and dreams were so incredibly beautirul - you MUST BE a person with a big heart and so understanding to be able to filter through our desires and produced such a beautiful ceremony. Thank you deeply for making our day happy and full of love and joy. ALL our guests through you were incredible. Congratulations. Thank you - Franca who married her handsome love, Aurelio, in an intimate ceremony at Toni's Restaurant at Mt Gravatt.
Living overseas but deciding to have our wedding in Brisbane meant we had to put our trust in Jenny to do most of the work. We only met her face-to-face the evening before our 'big day'. Everything was perfect. She made us feel so at ease. Thanks Jenny The whole experience was wonderful. The work you did (and we did) to formulate the ceremony was something neither of us had thought about having to do but really made us feel involved. - Tony & Anna-Marie who nipped across from New Zealand for a long weekend for their intimate wedding.
Thanks for the perfect ceremony!! We are so glad you were our celebrant. Thank you for helping us through the whole process and for always being so approachable & available!! The ceremony was beautiful. Perfect. We loved how you personalised the whole service and made it very inclusive of the attendants etc. Everyone there on the day commented on what a fantastic job you did and how lovely the ceremony was. - Susan & Kath, who celebrated their love in a commitment ceremony at Mt Glorious Getaways
Hi Jenny.
Once again I would like to thank you for the time and effort you put into our beautiful ceremony. The whole day was just wonderful and was exactly as we had envisaged. Kind regards, Melanie & Bobby who married in the grounds of the University of Queensland in an intimate ceremony that included three lovely little fairies and a highland piper.
Hello Jennifer, I just wish to convey my sincere thanks for such a beautiful ceremony that you performed for Candice (my daughter) & Chris. It was so personal and full of love the memories of that special day will stay with me forever. Everyone was inspired and moved by the ceremony and commented on just how beautiful it was. Everything was so perfect with the personal touches that were included in the ceremony it was very hard by all to keep a dry eye on the day. Thank you again I would highly recommend you. Kind Regards, Dianne (Mother of the Bride). Chris and Candice celebrated their marriage with family and friends in a formal reaffirmation of vows featuring an unusual variation on the sand ceremony.
And an email from Candice herself: I'm so sorry it's taken so long but we do want to say a huge thank you - everything went perfectly on the day and it wouldn't have been as spectacular and romantic as it was without all your help and expertise. Words really can't describe how amazing the day was and how special we both feel.
Jenny, Thank you so much for yesterday. It was a perfect day and I had so much fun. Everything was just so wonderful and many guests commented on the ceremony and how it fit us perfectly. Thank You for listening to us about what we wanted and delivering it to a tee! - Glenys xxx - email from Glenys and Gary married in a grove of 300 year old Moreton Bay Fig Trees in a ceremony that honoured their Scottish, Welsh and Australian heritages. And more feedback from Glenys and Gary: The whole experience was very easy and straight forward. The wedding was very personal and our guests commented that it was very 'us'. Five years later on Facebook Glenys wrote: " It was an awesome ceremony and we've had her back twice to do namings for our two kids. Very personal ceremony and a lot of hours put in"
Hi Jenny,
Thank you so much for helping us with the ceremony
yesterday, it was magical and not a dry eye in the
place! Thank you for everything (leading up to and
including yesterday). Not only did we have a great
time but we’ve heard so many fabulous comments
about the ceremony, and the way you conducted
it. Everyone really enjoyed it and they
definitely let us know which is fantastic! - Michelle and Paula
who exuberantly jumped the broom at the end of
their commitment ceremony in the ceremony garden
at Clear Mountain LodgeAnd another note from Michelle and Paula: We wanted to say a big thankyou for helping us create the perfect day. So many people have said it was the best wedding they've ever been to. It was amazing. Thank you! Photo courtesy of Sheila Sissons Photography
Thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony
you created for our special day. It exceeded our
expectations. What a perfect start to our
married life! We have received many compliments
from our guests which we credit to you. You put
our minds at ease, always answered our
questions. You delivered an emotional, personal
and inclusive ceremony and many people commented
how good it was. It wasn't 'the standard
wedding' which is exactly what we wanted and
thank you very much. - Melissa and Andrew
who married at Indooroopilly Golf Club in a
ceremony that incorporated a purpose-created
ritual that looked forward to their first
wedding anniversary.
You made our wedding such a special yet a
hassle-free one. We absolutely loved the vows
you customised for us and are really grateful
for your help. You're the best! We're totally
satisfied. Ruchi and Jonas who eloped on the
Shorncliffe Pier
Jenny, Thank you very much. Our ceremony was
beautiful and exactly as we would have put
ogether for ourselves if we had your language
eloquence and style. Your understaning and
patience with use in the design/drafting phase
was very much appreciated. Thanks again - Ruth and Tim who
married at Spicers Hidden Vale.
Thank you for making our Moroccan/Bellydance
themed wedding come together perfectly! We
wanted something original and unique, while
keeping that "traditional" Middle Easter feel,
and you gave that to us. As you know one of our
guests from the day has now chosen you for her
upcoming wedding as well! A lot of people
commented afterwards how moving the ceremony
was. Thank you! - Maria and Jeff who married in a
sumptuous theme wedding at the Everton Park
Hotel.
Jenny, Thank
you so much for your wamth and
professionalism in preparing for an
officiating our wedding. You made
everyone in the wedding party feel at ease
as you guided us through our ceremony, which
was structured especially for us. Thank you
for your flexibility, guidance and
experience in ceremony-writing. Thank you
for allowing our wedding to be fun, romantic
and uniquely 'us'. It was a day we will
remember fondly forever. We had the most
beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you! - Luke and
Bronwyn who married at the Summit
Restaurant on Mt Coot-tha in a ceremony
that put a new twist on some old
traditions.
The whole experience was easy, organised, with
plenty of time to organise beforehand. On the
day Jennifer made us feel comfortable and
relaxed due to her experience and calm nature.
The way she performed the ceremony was very
loving, sharing our personal information to
guests in a way that did not offend anyone which
made us more relaxed. She did a great job! A
beautiful personalised ceremony made all our
dreams come true - Amber and Yvette, who celebrated their
union at Virginia Palms International.
Dear Jennifer, Thank you so much for making a big day (or part thereof!) flow very easily.
Your attention to detail made the ceremony special to all in attendance, and especially to us. Quite a number of guests commented on how they liked the ceremony structure & content, as well as delivery. The Ring Warming was quite a hit too. You were so helpful when we met, and that help continued through development to delivery - which made all the difference. We knew we were in the hands of a professional & had no need to worry. You make a complex job look simple and do it with a genuine warmth - well done. Dan & I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution to a very special day, and would have no hesitation in recommending your services to any friends or family. Thanks so much! xxoo Carly & Dan who married at Einbinpun Lagoon, Sandgate in a casual, relaxed ceremony.
Thank you so much for a beautiful ceremony. The comments from the guests afterwards were truly inspiring - I wish you had been able to hear them yourself. Everyone was impressed with the way the ceremony was especially for Alice and Murray and not just picked from a list. - from Judy, Murray's mother. Alice and Murray reaffirmed their vows in a candlelit ceremony in Judy's garden.
Jenny, Steve and I would like to thank you for making our day perfect. Coming from another state and dealing purely by email couldn't have been easier. Prompt responses to my emails put my mind at ease & showed me that we had picked the best celebrant to perform our ceremony. Jenny, you wrote the vows perfectly and said them with the passion that was required. When we first met you on our day you were so lovely. Words can't really express our gratitude for your professionalism. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Would recommend your services to everyone. - Angie & Steve who married at Roma Street Parklands on a stopover during a cruise
Our commitment ceremony was even more magical than we could have imagined. Everyone was very impressed and moved by our ceremony. It was the happiest day of our lives! The ceremony could not have been more perfect. It brought people to tears. You are incredibly well organised. We appreciated all of your help. Your input and suggestions regarding our ceremony made for a perfect day.- Sarah and Susan who held their commitment ceremony at Newstead Park and included their 18 nieces and nephews in the ceremony
Dear Jenny, On Murrayand
Alice's behalf I wanted to write to say special
thanks for the ceremony you conducted on 9th
January. It was indeed special and bore no
resemblance to what would have been had they
chosen to use the services of the Registry
Office. - Judy (mother of
groom). Visa wedding held in Judy's lovely
rural garden
Dear Jenny,
We just wanted to say another big thankyou for our fantastic wedding ceremony. It was just perfect, and very 'us'. We loved that it was so intimate, and personal, yet our guests felt so involved. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful it was that you used our own words in the ceremony, and we've even had a few of our friends comment that they'd like to steal a few ideas for their own wedding ceremonies! Thank you once again for your amazing work. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends and family. - Penny & Chris, who married at Brett's Wharf
Dear Jenny, I'm sorry that this testimonial is a long time coming – it seems that there is just as many things to do after a wedding as there is organizing one!
Kurt and I would like to sincerely express our gratitude to you and all that you contributed to our wedding. As I mentioned above, we initially viewed the ceremony as the boring, legal part of the day that you had to endure before you got to begin to enjoy and really express yourselves. With you as our celebrant, this was not the case. We both thoroughly enjoyed our ceremony because it was personal and heartfelt, and a very clear reflection of the feelings that Kurt and I share for each other. The thought and the planning that you had clearly put into our ceremony meant that it really felt like it was all for us – there was no hint or indication that we have done this a million times before!
Every guest that attended our wedding has since told us how spectacular they thought our ceremony was. They loved the stone pouring and the love letters and most had never seen either of these rituals done before. And speaking of the love letters, I highly recommend this to all couples for your future ceremonies. They add a personal touch that I can’t even describe, and for some, it may be the only love letter they ever receive from their new husband!
Thank you again for your patience, persistence and good humour throughout our entire wedding process. One of the photos I have attached is of you speaking, and if you look in the background my niece Gracie is behind you pulling on your microphone stand. I like this photo because I think it is a great representation of the service that you provide. As with every other aspect of your professional and obliging performance for us, you happily pushed on with your job despite the obvious interruptions.
Because of the love and personality that you bought to our big day, you will always mean a lot to us both.
Thanks again,
Beth & Kurt, who married at Indooroopilly Golf Club in a ritual-rich ceremony .
You made us feel very involved in all aspects of the ceremony. We were very happy with the whole experience. There is not one thing we would change (even the laughing). We had our guests coming up and saying throughout the whole night that it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever been to and that they have never been to one like it before. - Kristy and Brad, who married in a very happy ceremony at Woodlands of Marburg
Thank you for performing our wedding ceremony, but thank you also for drawing us together in heart & mind. You will be in our hearts & memories forever - Olivia You did such a fabulous job of our ceremony. Thank you so much. Eric and Olivia married and blended their families in a traditional ceremony at Redcliffe that included a Family Unity Candle.
We have received numerous words of praise on how lovely the ceremony was, some even stating it was the best they had attended. For us personally the ceremony was the highlight of our wedding. The ceremony itself was especially moving for us and also our guests. - Christa and Barry who married aboard HMAS Diamantina at the Brisbane Maritime Museum.
Everyone at the ceremony commented on how great the celebrant was! You really made us feel special! You gave us so much time and support and advice. It was like you were a wedding planner and Fairy Godmother rolled in one. Thank you so much - Maureen and Michael who married poolside at Michael's mother's home in a sunset ceremony that included a handfasting and other Celtic elements.
Thank you for guiding us through the marriage process. I felt like I could completely trust you from the moment I saw your website, you just screamed 'organised!' thank you for a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful memory - Natalie & Ihab whose wedding at Boulevard Gardens is featured in the 2009 edition of Brisbane Bride
Our Ceremony was so
beautiful and meant so much to us. As emotional
as the day was for me I’ll remember it with
great love in my heart and gratitude to you for
making our day so precious - K & G
Many thanks for the beautiful ceremony you created for our wedding. You helped to make the most important part of our day so special. We so much appreciate all the exceptional efforts you made to have everything perfect for the day - far above and beyond what was required. We really enjoyed working with you - it was a real privilege to share that special time in our relationship with such a kind, caring and professional celebrant. It was so helpful to have your advice in all that was required before and after our wedding also. Thank you for the special keepsakes you organised to ensure an unforgettable ceremony is remembered forever. With much appreciation. - Laura and Casey, who married at the Latrobe Chapel.
From my intial website enquiry every aspect was made extremely easy. My enquiry was replied to within hours and the obligation-free meeting confirmed our good feelings about Jennifer. She was extremely professional, but friendly and welcoming, asking us about our relationship and wishes for the ceremony in order to make it personal and special for us. It did not feel that she was simply asking the same old routine questions that may be asked to every couple and that she was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple in order to design a unique experience just for us. The questionnaire made it easy for us to express out feelings on paper without the anxiety of writing our own vows. When we read the draft copies we both had tears in our eyes and couldn't believe how well our notes and dot points on the questionnaire had been sculpted into beautiful words. Jennifer was always prompt and punctual when scheduling feedback dates and for the rehearsal. Involving the families in the rehearsal also eased their nervousness on the big day and gave us the opportunity to ask any questions beforehand so everything ran smoothly on the day. At the ceremony Jennifer was well presented, courteous, and helpful. Sally & Corey, who included a Unity Candle lighting in their traditional ceremony held at Rydges, South Bank. And a second thank you from Sally & Corey: Just a big thank you for everything you did for us in preparation for, and on the day of our wedding on the 12th January. Everyone has been raving about the ceremony and how wonderfully creative and intimate it was. we had an absolute ball and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our photos also turned out incredibly well, due to your input and suggestions about positioning and layout of the ceremony. I know we will always remember the day as one of the best in our lives, thanks to your professionalism and assistance on our special day. Many thanks again.
We felt comfortable with you
from start to finish. You were very 
professional.
The ceremony itself was beautiful. It
represented 'us' and was very intimate. Everyone
was 'engaged' and said they felt involved. If we
were to do it over again we wouldn't have
changed anything. It was exactly what we wanted
and more. Thank you! - Lisa and Phil
who held their ceremony at Bundaleer
Rainforest Gardens.
Happy New year to you and your family! I know it's late but better late than never as they say. We just want to say a BIG THANK YOU for a wonderful ceremony you have provided for us last month. It was truly awesome and we can't thank you enough for your professionalism. Despite extreme heat, it all worked out beautifully. Thank you again. Eliza and Roy, who married in their own garden in a ceremony that included traditions celebrating their Filipino Heritage and included Eliza's daughter.
The ceremony was very lovely, elegant, specified for our cultural background. - Zheng and Dongwei who married in an intimate ceremony at the City Botanic Gardens Cafe.
Our experience with Jennifer doing our Naming Ceremony went above and beyond our expectations. The day went perfectly. She was able to understand and deliver exactly what we felt in our hearts. Thanks for making it so personal and special - Mel and Grant
We all enjoyed the experience and family and friends told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony too. Your research (the thing with the flame lily) was excellent. - Charles and Elizabeth, who married on the Manly foreshore in a ceremony that incorporated jumping the broom.
Good morning Jennifer, Thank you for you ceremony on Sunday, everyone commented how beautiful it was, especially the certificates. Kind regards, Kim, Jeffrey and Katelyn.
Our aim was to have a unique ceremony with vows that reflected us as a couple. you were both accommodating of our needs and had excellent suggestions for including our families and guests in the ceremony. You clearly explained the legal requirements where appropriate and all paperwork was taken care of in a professional manner. During the rehearsal you handled the emotions of family memebrs in a sensitive and careful manner, with a sense of humor. This ensured that people were relaxed during the ceremony. Your delivery of the ceremony was clear and most importantly, sincere. We appreciated both your personal and professional approach. Ryan, myself, our families and guests believed it was one of the best ceremonies we have attended. - Ryan and Pip who married at Eve's on the River, Teneriffe.
Jennifer, we were very please with the way you handled our somewhat different wedding. You were supportive from the moment we first met to the moment of us signing the marriage register. We would not have changed anything. Thank you so much for your help and guidance. - Jan and Vince.
David and I both want to thank you for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us. A lot of people have said that it is the best wedding they have ever been to and one of my firend said she doesn't usually cry but says I pushed her over the edge! We had such a fantastic day. - Melanie and David who married in a private garden.
