All our guests loved the ceremony & told us that they never thought a simple ceremony could be so much fun and entertaining. It was a great ceremony & we are glad we had you as our celebrant. Testimonial: Thanks again Jenny for a wonderful, care-free, sweet & surprising ceremony. Everyone had a blast, especially with a sunny day in the park, guests were amazed at how simple, yet sweet a short ceremony can be. Thank you for making our day special. We loved and enjoyed every minute of it. - Elise and Dan

Hi Jenny,  Very sorry to only write you so late, but I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful wedding we had on March 22nd.  I'm glad we left a lot of things up to you - and very glad we got such an experienced and wise hand for the job.  Little things, like the position of the bridal party, the jokes and fun talk during the ceremony, and of course the wonderful surprise of the traditional gifts were so great.  - Email from Roy, who, with Konatsu held their celebration of marriage ceremony at Raby Bay Foreshore Park.
Testimonial: The ceremony was very sincere and wonderful. We didn’t want a serious or boring ceremony, for our friends and family to just switch off through.   Also, being very down to earth people, we were happy that you accommodated us and that the ceremony reflected this. Thank you Jenny for making our special day as fun and stress-free as possible.  We certainly made it difficult for you, flying into Brisbane only a week before the event from Japan, but you worked with us to create something very personal and unique without even having met us in person – truly a talent. The ceremony was a success, and picture perfect next to the beach at Raby Bay.  Friends and family flew in with us to celebrate, and everyone had nothing but praise for the ceremony, which accommodated a Japanese translation alongside the English version.  I would recommend you to anyone and everyone I can! - Roy and Konatsu

Sean and I felt elated and so comfortable. It was a perfect balance of romance and meaning and a laid back atmosphere. It was both professional and friendly and perfectly short but sweet. Exactly what we wanted and we all had a lovely time - Emma and Sean who held their picnic wedding in the City Botanic Gardens



Your dry sense of humour along with the personal touches made it a very special and fulfilling day. Your performance was exception, a breath of fresh air from the usual bland ceremonies we have witnessed in the past. Our elopement wedding was just what we wanted and had envisaged. Testimonial: We are from the UK and initially were a little worried about organising a wedding overseas, but Jennifer's calm, reassuring, professional manner quickly put us at our ease. The ceremony itself was wonderful - thoughtful, personal, fun - a truly memorable experience. We are delighted that we chose Jennifer as our celebrant. . Kind regards and love, Chris and Claire xxx

Jennet and I would like to thank you for your superb wedding ceremony. Everybody at the wedding commented what a delightful, simple but fun filled ceremony you conducted. I am glad we chose you and would not hesitate to recommend your services to any couples that are contemplating marriage Once again thank you very much for your kind and meaningful words for our special occasion. Regards - Bill and Jennet who married at Scarborough Beach Park.

I loved how relaxed the ceremony was. I was initially doubtful about staring at guests the whole time but it turned out perfect. You made it such a warm, welcoming and involved ceremony. I had many comments to attest to that! - Sherilei who married Arren at Forestglen Park on Valentine's Day.
Exactly what we wanted. Short but sentimental. Everyone loved it. - Kylie and John who came down from the Sunshine Coast hinterland to be married at Southbank Parklands and who told me that they chose me because I had 'the best feedback on the Internet'!

We were very impressed and pleased with our choice. Thanks Jenny for a lovely ceremony.  Your choice of wording was perfect. Thank you for our perfect day. -  Louise and Rich who came from a  very cold England to be married at Redcliffe in a Warm and Wonderful Weekend Wedding ceremony (Registry Office style ceremony) on the hottest day ever.

Testimonial sent a few weeks later: You did a fantastic job of arranging what we had said in our survey and presenting it in a way that our guests felt they knew us even better.

You were fantastic with paperwork and legal requirements and we truly appreciate all of your help. Kimberly's mother commented on Facebook: Jennifer, thank you so much for the beautiful, personal, poignant ceremony you performed for Kimberly and Adam yesterday. From America, a civil celebrant ceremony was new to me and it really touched my heart. Thank you for all you did!

We have already recommended Jenny to friends. Thank you for making our day so amazing. You made everyone feel included and went above and beyond in your duties. There was no stress at all - Amber and Anthony who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekend Wedding (Registry Office Style ceremony) at the Pacific Peace Gardens

Very blessed to have a celebrant that makes the ceremony meaningful, loving, and fun. All legal documents were processed with ease, making it easy for us to concentrate on our wedding day. - Gina and Terence who married at Redlands Indigiscapes.

I thought you would like some lovely photos that were taken on the day (even though they were not professional, they turned out lovely and impromptu, which is what I wanted). Everyone mentioned how they loved the ceremony, and were very glad they were able to join in and have a laugh. It fit our family perfectly, and I am so glad it turned out perfectly. We passed on your business card to our friends, a young couple there, as they enjoyed the service very much. Everyone was thrilled by both the LGBT statement (which made a few people in the audience come up to me and thank me profusely for including it), along with the lack of a 'lecture', and just a nice statement instead. I am also super thankful that you had a nice list of vows we could use... they fit so perfectly, and we're framing both the signed certificate and the copy of the vows you gave us. Thank you so much for the extra thought... it meant so much that you cared enough to think of such a nice thing when we had no idea what we wanted. It was perfect!) So yes, please enjoy these photos, and I will be recommending you to everyone who asks about my wedding (which I'm guessing will be everyone for the next 2-3 months!). - Anne and Jack who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekend Wedding ceremony on board the Kookaburra Queen II moored at Eagle Pier.

Thank you so so much for Saturday. The ceremony was wonderful. Many people have said it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever been to. I know people say that all the time but I actually believe them. It was wonderful, thoughtful and personal and my family and friends have said they loved your delivery and dry sense of humour along with the personal touches. We are so delighted that we chose you as our celebrant and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending you in the future. Bye for now but hopefully our paths will cross again.

From: Katie H.  Score: 5/5   Comments:"Jennifer was an amazing celebrant. Her attention to detail and planning before the wedding meant that the ceremony was very unique and meaningful.

Thank you so much for making our day amazing! - Chantal and Chris who married in the Rotunda at Newstead Park. Here they are signing the register on the vintage Irish linen tablecloth hand-embroidered with shamrocks I brought as a surprise to add a touch of home for Chris



At least two dozen people commented to us that our ceremony was the best they had ever seen and we are still receiving texts with similar comments today. We just can't thank you enough for creating a fabulous ceremony that was so warm, fun and very personal. - Email from Liz and Cameron the day after their wedding at the Glen Hotel.

A massive thank you for our commitment ceremony, it was absolutely, exactly what we wanted. You really listened to our needs and played close attention to what we said in our questionnaires, and managed to turn it into something absolutely beautiful. Although we only met once prior to the wedding, with the help of your hard work and your excellent questionnaires it really felt like you knew us well.  We've had such fantastic feedback from our friends and families. A lot of people weren't really sure what to expect from a commitment ceremony, but I think everyone felt the ceremony was very familiar, without mirroring a hetero wedding. We've even had feedback from some of our family members, encouraging us to submit our wedding video to government so they can see how 'normal' we are! :)  You know how worried I was about the wedding, about panicking in front of everyone etc, but as soon as I was stood at the front I felt completely relaxed, and I really feel that the atmosphere you created really helped with that. At the reception, I even read out some trivia questions in front of everyone! Maybe it was the dutch courage from the wine ceremony ;)  Thanks so much again, will highly recommend you if anyone needs a celebrant in the future :) - Lynsay and Dani who held their ceremony at Riverlife

The scripting of the ceremony to reflect our desire to keep the event fun and loving, mingled with the "surprise" at the end, made the whole experience a favorite - Carolyn and Peter who married in an intimate ceremony with just the two of them, their witnesses and a photographer in the Spectacle Gardens at Roma Street Parkland

The ceremony matched our requests perfectly, it was quick and concise yet showed the love and affection we have for each other. It made us feel excited to start our lives together as husband and wife. Jenny took special care to make our ceremony special, without being intrusive or adding things we didn’t want. It was almost as if she knew us without ever having met us. I recommend her highly. -   Julie and Justin who held their ceremony at Flying Duck in the Roma Street Parkland

Jenny's personal touch and easy manner made our beach wedding a unique and happy day. You feel like she's become your friend. - Tony and Michelle who married in a late afternoon ceremony in the shade under the trees at Scotts Point Beach

The ceremony was lovely and successful. It was as simple and warm as we had expected. It is the moment we will never forget. - Wen and Jun who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding on Valentine's Day.


Emily and Damien married in an early evening surprise wedding at the Toowong Rowing Club (guests were invited to an engagement party and on arrival were greeted by a large mirrored sign welcoming them to the wedding). The ceremony was very relaxed and generated lots of laughter. They posted the following comments on their Facebook pages: Thanks Jenny, the ceremony was better than we could have imagined. It was a perfect day - Damien. Thanks Jenny. It was awesome. We loved that the ceremony was down to earth and personal. If we could do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing!!! - Emily

We would not have done it without you, Jenny. You helped us through the preparation and guided us on the day. You made us both feel very comfortable, connected, happy, proud and relaxed on such an important day in our lives. Our friends and family still talk about feeling a rollercoaster of emotions on the day. They continue to this day to make several comments about it being the most beautiful ceremony they have ever attended. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - Hugo and Daniel, who held their commitment ceremony at Spicers Hidden Vale, and included a unity wine ritual in the ceremony.

Hello Jennifer, I wanted to thank you for the lovely evening my wife and I had. It was truly a special night. My wife was still crying when she went home and read through the service you gave us and she intends to carry the stone in her bag. Thanks again for helping make our night special. Regards, Matt - who arranged for me to conduct a special 20th wedding anniversary celebratory ceremony as a surprise for his wife.

Testimonial from Stu and Katie, who married at Clear Mountain Lodge: [from the groom]: Initially I discounted the whole ceremonial process as just being something that was fixed and had to be performed out of legal and official necessity. This remained so even through the very helpful guided process of writing the basis of our content and vows, which was then transformed into something extraordinary by Jenny Cram. Even though I was impressed with the drafts leading up to the day, in my mind it was still part of the official process. Jenny Cram totally reshaped my views about how special a wedding ceremony could be, and this became apparent for me on our wedding day. From the moment I was standing waiting for my future wife, I began to truly appreciate what Jenny had done. In creating this ceremony, Jenny had transformed something I thought was run of the mill stuff into something very personalized, and it changed the whole atmosphere of the wedding. I felt confident in Jenny where I was, under her friendly guidance, the guests were all engaged- in fact I felt they were emotionally connected with the proceedings. Jenny brought it all together and it made me feel like there was a whole other element to a wedding day that I had totally overlooked. I feel that this was the element that Jenny brought to our wedding. It could, very easily have been lost by anyone other than the most dedicated, professional and expert marriage celebrant.   [from the bride]: Jenny, thank you so much for your commitment to crafting and facilitating exactly the kind of wedding ceremony we both wished for. Thank you for making my husband and I feel special and for upholding our vision of a relaxed, enjoyable, meaningful and personal ceremony free of waffle, cut-and-paste, and staid traditions. I could not have believed that our wedding ceremony could have been so beautiful, even though I had chosen you as our celebrant because of your professionalism, excellent feedback and gleaming testimonials. I loved the process of information gathering, and the time you took to get to know us and our story. I will treasure the memories of our wedding ceremony forever. Thank you.

Hi Jenny, Just wanted to send you a quick email to tell you how much we loved the ceremony you held for us.  The touch of the stone really meant a lot to us and we see how much effort you went for us. We couldn't have asked for a nicer celebrant and ceremony and that we will ever be appreciative to you for this.  I will be sure to send back our feedback and also when we receive the photos from the photographer, I will send you a copy.  Go raibh mile maith aige!!!  Thanks a million in Irish.  Warm regards - Antoinette & Robert who eloped in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding in Newstead Park. They later send this feedback: The overall experience was calm, peaceful, and joyous with no anxiety, due to your personality and experience. We were both very pleased with everything.

Hello Jenny, Georgina and I wanted to express again our gratitude for all your work before and on our wedding day. Your vision and insight into what was possible made the day special and unique. As I am sure you observed, everyone was deeply moved by the ceremony. We could not have asked for anything more and we both have a memory that we will cherish. - Wayne and Georgina, who married in the Stradbroke Pavilion at the Grand View Hotel, Cleveland Point, in a ceremony that was very different from the traditional wedding, involving lots of tears, lots of champagne, and lots of laughter.

Hi Jenny, I just wanted to send you an email to convey our heartfelt gratitude for doing such a good job of conducting our marriage ceremony.  Sabina and I were really happy with the way everything went off and really appreciate your efforts on the day to make the ceremony as unique and special as it was! We will definitely be referring you to anyone looking for a celebrant :) - Anban and Sabina, who married in an Intimate Wedding in the Rotunda at Newstead Park

It was a pleasant experience with genuineness and peacefulness. A lot of thought from you went into the ceremony. It was more meaningful and throughtful with something presented so simply. Thanks again, especially for helping in the Visa procedures. - Leanne and Shadi who held their Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding in her mother's sitting room.

We were very happy with the ceremony. We wanted something simple and short and we were very happy to receive that. We felt very at ease and enjoyed the moment. Thank you :-)! It was perfect. - Sarah and Dylan, who eloped, marrying in their hotel suite before embarking on a Pacific Cruise.

We were extremely happy with the content and delivery of our ceremony. Pre-ceremony nothing was too much trouble to ensure we got it right and were happy. We appreciated the effort to make the ceremony "ours". We especially enjoyed your original suggestions to make the ceremony personal. - Wendy and Keith who married at Hillstone St Lucia and involved their children and grandchildren in the ceremony.

Hi Jenny! A very big THANK YOU for your services Jenny, words can't describe how good it was, you  made my dad cry and that's hard to do. Everyone enjoyed how funny and interesting it was, some are still talking about it, Tosh went as far as saying "it was the best ceremony he has seen". The look on Andrew's face when you mentioned" bridesmaid" was so funny! He was still getting stick the day after. I would definitely recommend you to anyone and I can see why you have won so many awards. Gina and myself had a great day from start to finish and we are so happy we found you to wed us Thanks soooo much Jenny! - Gina and Kevin, whose relaxed Bayside ceremony melded their Taiwanese and Irish cultures.

Hi Jenny, Thank you so much for the wonderful wedding ceremony you performed for us last Saturday. So many of our friends and family commented on what a moving, beautiful and unique wedding ceremony it was that was enjoyable, funny and so meaningful, with many of them saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to.  All of our engaged friends have asked for you card, so I'm sure you will be hearing from them soon! Our parents loved it and to see the tears in Tony's Dad's eyes when you were reading the tribute to the parents was so heartwarming for us and meant so much as this man is not a cryer. It was absolutely perfect for us, represented us so accurately as a couple and was exactly what we dreamed of. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Right from our first conversation you made me feel at ease and helped us every step of the way to create and develop the amazing ceremony it was, it was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you so much for the way you dealt with the bit of a hiccup with the late start and everything, with all our guest saying you made them feel comfortable and lightened the mood with your humor and kindness.  And thank you so much for the wonderful "tieing the knot" ritual.  What a lovely surprise! Everyone commented on how beautiful it was.  It was such a lovely way to get the kids involved and we'll have that as a keepsake from our wedding forever. - Laura and Tony, who married in the Butterfly Garden at Redlands Indigiscapes Centre.

Dear Jenny,  thank you so much for being such a wonderful celebrant for our wedding. Your efforts and special touches made our wedding day even better than we'd hoped for. So many people have commented on the fantastic job you did and have told us how much they loved being part of our wedding. Wishing you all the best. Kind regards, Kate and Mika - who married at Newstead Park.

Dear Jenny, We'll do all this properly later, but I just wanted to send an early vote of thanks for the wonderful job you did for our wedding. Many, many people came up to us during the evening and said it was the best wedding they'd been to, or the most personal, or the most apt - and we wouldn't have been able to have done that without your experience, guidance, wisdom and wit. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and thanks again for getting us off to such a good start. Cheers- Chris who married Ali in the Great Hall at Brisbane Grammar School.
