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

I'm hope this one will be rather easier to write than my love-letter to
Ali! Thank you again fro all you ddi o make Ali's and my wedding work
so well. he love letters were every bit as powerful as you'd presaged;
and the whole thing just seemed to flow so well. We feel that on every
level the ceremony was what we were hoping for. Your counsel and
experience were invaluable. Cheers, Chris & Ali-Breeze xx.
Jennifer
Cram is a top class celebrant. We would recommend her to anyone. She
made our wedding a day to remember. Each stage of the organisation of
our wedding was seamless and
relatively stress free. We were very comfortable with everything every
step of the way. You were very efficient at all times and especially in
the way that you responded to emails very quickly and you provided
helpful advice and information when we needed it. You always had a
friendly and professional approach. The wedding day itself went without
a hitch, thanks to your excellent organisational skills and we were
very impressed how you delivered the cereremony. The surprise at the
ceremony was a lovely touch and we will treasure the fits. The marriage
certificate and handbook were both beautifully presented. We were very
happy with everything. -
Chantal and
Graham who came from England to celebrate their marriage at Flying Duck
in the Roma Street Parklands in a ceremony that included their daughter
and Chantal's sister, and featured beautiful Australian flowers.
It was exactly what we wanted and hoped
for. When our friends and family communicated back to us how touched
they were to be involved we knew for sure that the ceremony was as
inclusive as we wanted to convey. It was fun, it was meaningful, it was
touching. I loved the interactive nature of the ceremony. THANK YOU so
much.
- Brooke & Manny, who
personally greeted all their guests with a gift of a bright orange
gerbera before the ceremony when they married in a late afternoon
ceremony in the Rotunda at New Farm Park.
Tarek and I were extremely happy with all
aspects. Jenny made us feel very comfortable and we were confident that
the ceremony would go smoothly. We especially liked the way Jenny made
all our guests feel welcome. We had a lot of comments from guests about
how lovely the ceremony was, and how personal. Jenny was extremely
accommodating of all our suggestions and requests. She understands
people and is very thoughtful!! Also very knowledgable about the legal
aspects and paperwork. Thanks Jenny! We
loved the ceremony - we are
really happy you were our celebrant. -
Alana and Tarek who married in the
Melange Cafe at Roma Street Parkland in a ceremony that incorporated
both Ancient and Modern Egyptian traditions.
Hi Jennifer, We were so happy with how
it all went on the day and are very grateful to you for your help and
support and for sharing your knowledge and humour with us. We
will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family.
- Fleur and Niels, married surrounded by
family and friends at home in a ceremony that acknowledged their Dutch
and Scots heritage.
Jennifer truly gave
us the wedding that we wanted. She understood our
personalities, cultural backgrounds, and approach to marriage
perfectly. Throughout the whole process we felt comfortable and
confident. Most of all, we appreciate the extra care and thought that
was taken, making everything feel very personal. Thank you Jennifer, we
could not recommend you highly enough. - Hiromi and Leigh who married in a Warm and
Wonderful Weekday Ceremony in the New Farm Park Rotunda.
Hi Jenny,
Thank
you so much for everything you did for us on our wedding! EVERYTHING
was absolutely perfect – you co-ordinated everything just briliiantly.
All
through the night you were the topic of discussion – every guest we had
was
raving about how the ceremony was the best they’d ever attended, full
of laughs
and tears. Normally people switch-off during ceremonies (well, I do
anyway!)
because they can be a little boring, dull and predictable, but it was
quite
obvious that everyone was engaged and waiting to hear what was coming
up next.
Comments were things like “I’ve never laughed so hard in a ceremony
before!”
and “Jenny created the ceremony as if she was telling a story,
including the
audience and keeping everyone interested” and “she really set the mood
for the
whole evening”. My
Mum couldn’t stop singing your praise! She was so touched that she was
included
in the ceremony (thanks to your suggestion about including them!) and
she said
that you did an absolutely amazing job in every aspect. She
was really REALLY impressed and started tearing up again at how you
made the
day so perfect. My
Dad (who is normally a man of few words) just wouldn’t stop talking
about you. The
most interesting thing he said was “She did a better job than any
priest could
do”. He
also said that “She’s not a ‘normal’ celebrant, she’s brilliant.” OK so
that
comment is a little mean to other celebrants, but you get the point
right, he
regards you as the best. He said that your ceremony made him so proud
and emotional and that you really delivered just a wonderful, wonderful
ceremony. All
your hours of work you did Jenny, with the paperwork before and after
the
ceremony, your prompt responses to our Qs via email, all the work and
practice
you would have done for the ceremony itself, the ceremony book, the
slideshow
surprise and for all your personal touches and co-ordination of the
ceremony is
just so over-and-above what a stock-standard celebrant offers. Thanks
again, Jenny. -
Kath and Cam who held
their ceremony at Walkabout Creek.
Thank you
for a wonderfully unique and intimate ceremony. It was all we could
have ever asked for. Everyone has commented on the ceremony was "us",
unique,
and the best wedding they had attended. I loved how our friends
and family were
incorporated into the ceremony, making them part of the
day not just bystanders
of an event. - Kelly and Lucas who
married at River Terrace Park.
Jennifer Cram is a
professional in all aspects of the term. Being a Construction Project
Manager on major projects I deal regularly with teams of Architects and
Constructions companies, so have high expectations for proficiency and
capability. Jennifer was able to meet and exceed my expectations and I
would have pleasure in recommending her service to anyone looking for
an experienced, ethical and above all else caring Celebrant. My new
wife and I were well pleased and wish her well both now and in the
future. - Zak and Lin, who held
their elopement ceremony, including a handfasting in which their two
witnesses participated, at the Pioneer
Chapel at Tingalpa.
We felt the
whole experience was very good. We enjoyed the ceremony
as well as did
our guests. We felt comfortable and were satisfied with
how it went.
Very professional. Our friends will probably be in touch
when they get
married. Thanks again for a special wedding ceremony
we are both very
grateful to you.
- Louise and Kris who
married at Newstead Park in a ceremony
that incorporated Irish Celtic
customs and was shared
with overseas family and friends via Skype
We chose Jenny
as our celebrant as we really liked her aura and
personality, and the price for the level of involvement was brilliant!
I was very emotional on the day and Jenny's involvement and words just
made it perforct. I had so many lovely words said about how the
ceremony went. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jenny, you made Steven
and my day just perfect! - Louise and
Steven, who married at the waterfall in the Wineglass Gardens.
Thank you for
all the effort you
made
to ensure our wedding was exactly how we desired. On the day it was
more than I could have hoped for, magical and sincere, and we really
appreciated how comfortable you made us feel. From start to finish,
extremely satisfied. Thanks you. Love
Ben
and Hannah who eloped with a few friends and a dog on Norfolk Point at
Manly.
We could
not
have found a more friendly,
down to earth celebrant. At first the whole experience was daunting and
nerve-wracking, however we both felt comfortable with you and you were
always there to guide us
through and help make the ceremony a happy and
special occasion. You
guided us through not only the
legal requirements, but also through the
planning of the ceremony. We found your ceremony to be
personal and
romantic and you helped make all the guests feel included. It was truly
a unique ceremony,
delivered by a truly unique woman. Thank you for
everthing, Jennifer :-) - Sarah and
Lauance, who held their Warm and Wonderful Weekday marriage
ceremony in the Chapel at the Kholo Botanic Gardens
Thank you so much for making our day
the one we planned! It was fun, lighthearted, emotional, and very
moving. We both felt very special and listened to! Thank you for
allowing my hubsnad's impromptu surprise! Your felxibility and
understanding made all the difference to the day. We are both very
happy in our new life together and thank you for your part in making
the beginning of our journey together very memorable. it is a day we
will never forget. Kind Regards, Yvonne and Rodger - who married
under a rose-covered gazebo at the side of the dam on their property
with Yvonne's daughters and grandson who had come from England for the
occasion as attendants.
Julian
and I were so impressed and touched by the ceremony that you lead, and
we have
received many wonderful comments from guests on the day. Many of those
said it
was the most intimate, fun and relaxed wedding they have ever
witnessed. We
particularly loved how the ceremony reflected our core values and our
feelings
towards each other and those close to us. For this, we are very
grateful for
your service and guidance on our wedding day. - Lena and Julian who exchanged their vows at
Hillstone St Lucia.
Hi Jenny, Thank you
from the bottom of our hearts for such a beautiful and perfect
ceremony. So many of our guests were commenting all night that it was
the best
ceremony they have ever attended - we had people saying that they
usually hate
weddings but loved this one. It was perfect for them. More
importantly, it was perfect for us. We couldn't believe it was possible
to
be more happy than we were, but we are. We cannot find the words
to express our gratitude. Lots of Love,
Hilary and Rod - who married at dusk
in a candlelit ceremony against a background of bird calls and great
acoustic guitar music.
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 counselling in many regards! We chose you after
being dissatisfied with our original celebrant and you did not
disappoint! 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. -

and Francesc, who married in a
bilingual English and Catalan ceremony
which celebrated both cultures.

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. -

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.
Beautiful ceremony, just the way we hoped it
would be. achieved exactly what we wanted to achieve Many
people commented after how genuine and personal it was.-
Gabrielle and Glen who married in the Kholo
Chapel, Muirlea.
Our ceremony was very
special and I loved it. It was very personalised from the translation
into German to the surprise moment with the Pandora charm. Jennifer,
you were so thoughful 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 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

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 held their
relaxed and happy Warm and
Wonderful Weekday Wedding at the Pioneer Wedding Chapel at Tingalpa
Dear Jenny,
Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony. It felt like a
real celebration and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You made
everything easy to follow and of great assistance. Our guests also
mentioned they really enjoyed the ceremony. Thanks. - Kirsty and Paul who married in the Rotunda
at New Farm Park in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding ceremony
filled with love and laughter. A stylish addition was the birdcages
they hung behind them filled with tiny paper cranes, just some of the
1200 Kirsty had folded to decorate the ceremony space and the reception.
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.
Hi Jenny, Now
that the dust has settled I just wanted to let you know how glad
Chonthicha and I are that 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 -

Garden Marquee at Victoria Park Golf Complex in a ceremony that

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 express
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.
You communicated
very well with us and went out of your way to
ensure the ceremony and marriage went ahead despite flooding in
Brisbane. It made us feel important and special. The vows you wrote for
us were lovely, including our special son, Osian. Couldn't have asked
for a better ceremony. Thank you. - Sarah and David, who married on 12 January
2011 - the day the Brisbane River reached its highest peak in the
recent floods.
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 conducted 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.
I was also
delighted with your view
on equality with the words and actions during the ceremony. I hadn't
thought of this prior to arranging our ceremony but this was perfect to
suit our relationship. - Aoife and
Nat who held their Warm and
Wonderful Weekday Wedding in the
rainforest at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha
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 east. Guests have comented 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 organised 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.
I thought that the whole
ceremony was beautiful, and that you took care of everything so well,
right from the first time I contacted 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! The
fact that you involved the guests in
the ceremony and didn’t treat them as an audience was a great touch too. We received a lot of great feedback from our
guests. Overall,
you
were great to deal with and
made the experience enjoyable. - Ana-Maria and Wade whose No-Fuss Intimate
ceremony was held
in Captain Burke Park with the Kangaroo Point Cliffs in the background.
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.

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

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

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.
Hello Jennifer,
I would just like to thank you for the absolutely wonderful service you
performed for Kylie and Scott at the Indooroopilly Golf club on the
25th September. I found your professional, sincere and yet light
hearted touch to their ceremony beautiful. It made them laugh and
interact with their family and friends, which made for great
photography. Your guidance and little tips you shared with the couple
and bridal party prior to their ceremony, helped me immensely. I
was able to capture those crucial moments with ease and it appeared
seamless, to the couple and their guests. I look forward to
working with you again in the near future. -

appreciate all the effort you put in, especially with the short amount
of time we had. Thanks again - Amy

Jennifer, We
received
the wedding certificate today and wanted to say a big thank you for
your
work at
our wedding. We
really
appreciate your help to write the ceremony and your professionalism.
Many of
our guests mentioned that they really enjoyed the ceremony because it
was so
personal and true to the spirit of Josh and I. On
reflection, your most important piece of wisdom (in addition to don’t

jokes that would stop the ceremony) was not to remove Arlyn and Kate
from the
ceremony when he cried. It was extra special to have them both there
and
walking out with Arlyn at the end of the ceremony was the perfect touch
to
commemorate the official declaration of our family. Cheers - Anne and Joshua who organised their
ceremony while overseas, and held it in the rose garden at Hillstone
St Lucia,
incorporating their 2 year old, family and friends, and hummingbird
symbolism.
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! -

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 -

Everyone loved how personal it was. -

right time, putting our mind at ease. Much appreciated for your loving
care -

quiet ceremony with just two witnesses.
Dear Jenny
When 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.
And more
feedback from Andrew and Monique: Working with you was a
pleasure. You were always able to answer our questions and provide
detailed advice. your thoughts and suggestions while writing our
personalised ceremony made it unique and memorable. Your surprise
activity made us all laugh and we had a lot of fun having our own
ceremony, made us feel a part of the celebration. We will recommend you
to anyone because your services are truly wonderful. Thank you.
Professional,
personal, secure, relaxed because of your approach & competence.
Confident that all would progress smoorthly. Your extra personal
touches make a big difference. Have no hesitation in recommending your
to others. All was wonderful & you are fantastic! -
Diana and Bradford, who married in a Warm
and Wonderful Weekday Wedding at Sherwood Forest Park.
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.
Thank you,
Jennifer for a terrific job in preparing and presenting our
wedding. The whole experience was very positive. We and our guests all
found it warm, meaningful 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.
We
just wanted to thank you for the beautiful ceremony you put together.
All the
guests commented on what a great job you did encapsulating our
relationship.
So, THANK YOU!! -

Thank 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 expressing 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 -

couldn't think of a more beautiful wedding experience. We didn't expect

lucky to have chosen you and have already recommended you to some
friends planning to marry.

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

again and we will
definitely recommend you to any of our friends who want to get married.

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. -

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?
- Photo

Lawler Photography
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 particularly appreciated her
thoughtfulness and “thinking for us” by leading us through the process
to
enable us to collect our official certificate from the Registry Office
in
Brisbane, rather than us having to wait for it to be posted out.
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! -

Hi Jennifer, We just wanted to thank you for the lovely ceremony-it was
just what we wanted and everyone 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
Gardens
Hi Jennifer,
Svetlana and I have just arrived back from our honeymoon, we had a

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.

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.

We thank you for being
with us
on our big day.
It was all we thought it would be - just perfect! We
can't thank you enough for your professionalism and the 'it's not a
problem'
approach you had - THANK YOU! Having
eloped from friends and most of our family to do this - we quietly went
back to
the hotel and phoned everyone (family and friends) to give them the
biggest
shock they've had in quite a while! and after 20 years together -
no one
had a clue!! Thank
you for giving us one of the best memories we will ever have!
- Gay
and Jamie who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding in the
City Botanic Gardens.
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.

from our friends and family after the ceremony saying they thought it
was
excellent.
We shall certainly recommend your services to

future.
Many thanks,

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

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

much for helping us with the ceremony yesterday, it was magical and not
a dry eye in the place! Thank

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,

you very much. - Melissa and Andrew

again - Ruth and Tim who married at

Thank you for making our Moroccan/Bellydance
themed wedding come together perfectly! We wanted something original

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

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.
Jenny, Thank you so much for all your hard
work in putting together and
conducting our beautiful ceremony. The effort you put into tailoring
our personalised ceremony was most appreciated. All our guests
commented on how moving it was. It was just a great way for Paul and I
to start our life together! Warm regards, Jodi and Paul, who married in a Scottish Tartan ceremony
in the rose garden at Hillstone, St Lucia.
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!

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.

to what would have been had they chosen to use the services of the
Registry
Office. - Judy

Jennifer has
been an awesome marriage celebrant throughout the entire process. She
has been very suportive and understanding towards both of our needs. It
has been a very touching and moving ceremony and every single one of
the
guests loved it. The love letter was an awesome idea as we both love
them. We also like the design of the love letters and also the copy of
the ceremony. - Ling and Tan, who
married in a ceremony that acknowledged and celebrated their Chinese

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
Hi
Jenny, My wife & i
would just like 2 send u a very special THANK YOU very
much 4 all of your help & blessings on our special occasion, thank
you.-
Ian & Dianne who
married at the Bush Chapel, Queens Park, Ipswich.
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
that included a sand ceremony.
Thank you for
our wedding ceremony, it was perfect. Our guests have commented on how
different our ceremony was and how they really enjoyed it. From our
first contact with you until the end of our ceremony you were there to
answer any questions, helpful information and ideas. Thank you again
for a perfect wedding ceremony (and a great start to married life). -
Mandel
& Troy who married on the deck at Forest Lake in a ceremony that
included Mandel's daughters.
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
I was able to
go into the ceremony knowing exactly what I wanted to express to my
husband and the way in which I want to live our married life. Jenny's
way of working through these things with us allowed me to see our
wedding day as not just a day but rather, a beginning of a lifetime. -
Olivia
Everyone
at
the ceremony really enjoyed the wedding. The ceremony was
special and not your typical wedding ceremony. Jennifer - I was very
happy with your ideas and the way you carried out our ceremony. Thank
you. - Eric
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. c, 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.
Thank you for making our
ceremony both magical and memorable. It was wonderful to have you as
our guide as we took this step together and your touches make the whole
day run more smoothly. Our friends and family commented on how special
the ceremony was - especially the references to the 'boys' and Mick's
cleaning abilities! We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Thank
you again for being part of it! Love, Mick
and Bec, who married at Roma Street Parklands in a twilight ceremony
that was a surprise for their guests. Read their review of
their wedding in Bride's
Diary

were very happy with
our vows, thank you! So many people commented how warm the ceremony was
and how much they enjoyed it. - E & P
Just
wanted to let you know again how happy we are with how everything
went. The ceremony went perfectly, it was just how I imagined it
to be. I will be recommending you to anyone who needs a good
celebrant!! - M
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.
D****

such a beautiful ceremony for us. A lot of people have said

edge! We had such a fantastic day. Nothing went wrong and
the weather was gorgeous. - M & D
M****
and I would like to say thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony
you composed for us. We had many people come up to us over the night
and comment on how lovely and personal the ceremony was. Both M****
and I really enjoyed the ceremony and also wish to thank you for
the added extras you provided to us and the kids at the end of the
ceremony. You told us not to worry about the ceremony as all would work
out on the day and it did just that even though it rained. Thanks again
we will send you a picture once we get some. - K & M
The
whole process from first meeting to ceremony was a pleasure. The
ceremony was great and met all our expectations (exceeded them). We
felt your attention to getting all things perfect paid off and we had a
stress-free and forever memorable ceremony. - M & B

you so much for the wonderful marriage ceremony you wrote &
presented for us. All our guests have commented on how personal it was.

and we
had the best time. Thanks also with all the help and advice you gave us
for the
preparation of the day and all the paperwork. We are so glad we chose
you as we
wouldn’t have been able to have the ceremony we wanted if it wasn’t for
you and
all your wonderful suggestions. May life always be kind to you. Once
again,
thanks heaps. We have such fantastic memories because of you. -
Deb and
Bruce who married under a chuppah in a ceremony rich in Jewish
tradition.
You are a
complete package Jennifer. You offer everything on your website we
required, all of exceptional quality. We didn't need to be afraid of
asking any silly question - you lovingly answered all. [Your performing
of the ceremony] was exceptional - very clear and patient. Ability to
help us out with words and directions was excellent. -
Heidi and Michael, who held their combo
wedding and naming ceremony for their two sons in a family oriented
ceremony in their own garden.
Jenny, you
were absolutely wonderful. You put an amazing ceremony together on our
behalf.
You pieced together so beautifully the journey of our relationship, not
only
were Kenneth and I moved by your words, but so was everybody else. You
were so
organised and that made Kenneth and I feel so at ease. You were very
easy
to keep
in contact with and you were very persistent and quick with your work
without
it seeming rushed. Truly did put a lot of time and effort into making
our special
day magical. -

married overseas and came back to Australia to reaffirm their vows in a
formal ceremony with family and friends
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.
I can't
really
begin to put into words how amazing that ceremony was. We had people
come up to us afterwards and explain that they had not
cried at
their own wedding but found themselves in tears at ours.
I am not an
emotional fellow generally speaking, however I could not
help but be
moved. A formal
thank you is being put together by Bridget [the note to the right]
however in the meantime, I
wanted to thank you so very much for what you did.
Your attention to
detail, care and experience really showed through.
You
even had my
stalwart best men in tears!! Thanks again
Jennifer. -

Dear Jenny,
We cannot thank
you enough for the most wonderfully moving naming ceremony ever.
We were all so touched; there wasn’t a dry eye in the park! We
loved how you made Lily’s day so special and
personalised. I have had phone calls from people tonight just to
say how much they enjoyed the day, and how it was the best ceremony
they have ever been to. We thank you for being so amazingly
talented at what you do; you have a very kind heart and that showed in
your service. Thank goodness we found your website! Thank you,
thank you, and thank you, a million times over. What a wonderful
day.

ceremony on Sunday, everyone commented how beautiful it was, especially

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.

your help and guidance. -

would like to thank-you from the bottom of our hearts, for your
fantastic job. We had so many positive comments about the ceremony. You
made our ceremony unique and special. We also had some people ask if
you knew us. I felt that it is a big compliment with regards to
how you personalised our ceremony. I want to pay
particular attention to your professionalism, from your stationery,
website, magnets and the meetings we had with you. I like to think that
I am professional in my job and it is sometimes hard to find it in
others.
I would like
to thank you and congratulate you on such a wonderful job
on Sunday. The ceremony turned out just as I pictured it. You listened
to both Peter and myself and took everything into consideration to give
us
the day we wanted and not the day we settled for! Every small detail
was taken into consideration and I think if you could have controlled
the wind, you would have! Jennifer, you made, from start to finish, a
very easy, warm and informative experience. You thought of all the
little things we hadn't and came up with some great ideas that enhanced
our day. If we need a celebrant again, your our woman! -

Hi Jenny,
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! -
