Just some of the testimonials received from past clients

Here are just a few of the many thank you notes and testimonials I receive in addition to the many positive remarks from guests who love the ceremonies, the unique additions, light-hearted moments, and heartfelt expression of the personalities, values and beliefs of the couples and families for whom the ceremonies are created and performed.

Hue & Alex happily married by Jennifer CramJennifer conducted a beautiful and intimate ceremony for us. She made it very personal and everyone who attended felt part of our special day.

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.

So, THANK YOU!! - Allison and Rohan who incorporated a rose ceremony in their marriage ceremony in the beautiful gardens of Topiaries at Beaumont

Kai and Sandra happily married at Woodlands of Marburg by Jennifer Cram Brisbane Ipswich Marriage Celebrant 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 & 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 & advice with the legalities of marriage, eg documents, paperwork, name-changing advice, has also been absolutely invaluable to us. In short, we made absolutely the right decision in booking you as our celebrant, Jenny. We are absolutely thrilled with what you did for our ceremony - it was quite simply, perfect. Thank you, XX  - Sandra and Kai who married at Woodlands of Marburg

We couldn't think of a more beautiful wedding experience. We didn't expect all the extra special touches that made our day perfect. We were so lucky to have chosen you and have already recommended you to some friends planning to marry. Sonya and Jamie married on the beach at Redcliffe.

Hi Jennifer,  Brett and I would like to say a HUGE thank you for the wonderful job you did for us yesterday. It was such a lovely ceremony, we couldn't have asked for a better one. Everyone of our guests said that the ceremony was beautiful, especially with your added touches. Thank You again and we will definately recommend you to any of our friends who want to get married. - Jess and Brett who married in a late afternoon Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding ceremony in a private garden.

Jenny has some lovely finishing touches which made the day really special. Her choice of wording and sense of occasion are all extremely approprate and made everyone feel relaxed. We both had a fab day as did our guests. We were given good advice and help all along. We both 'switched off' to the outside world during the ceremony and definitely feel we made the best choice. - Clare and Damien who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding on Scarborough Beach.

Dearest Jenny,Michelle & Shaun happily married by Jennifer Cram, Brisbane Marriage Celebrant,  at Sir Manuel Hornibrook Park
     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.


Melissa and Andrew happily married at Indooroopilly Golf Club by Jennifer Cram Brisbane Marriage CelebrantAfter attending a wedding six months after her own, Melissa sent the following reflection and comparison:

Hi Jenny,
    Well its been almost six months since Andrew and I got married. We both went to a wedding last night and I felt compelled to write to you today. Last night's ceremony was nice however I couldn't help but notice the celebrant lacked the attention to detail which you had. Throughout the ceremony I wondered if she considered the following:

  • her dress choice - which was red, purple, orange and yellow, low cut and bright.
  • the music - which was cut off mid-song when the bride arrived.
  • the PA system - there wasn't one. It was an outside ceremony and I missed some of it because I couldn't hear her.
  • the pink lacy bra she was wearing which we could see, in all its glory, when she bent forward to light the candle;
  • did she consider the cheap fluro pink plastic folder she had her documents in?
  • did she consider where she was standing - I couldn't get a good photo of the bride and groom because she was in the way!
  • the ceremony content - I left the ceremony thinking.. Where did they meet? How did they meet? who are the people in their bridal party?

   I don't mean to be disrespectful to the celebrant of last night's wedding. Unfortunately for yesterday's wedding service, all these minor things added and I walked away dissatisfied with the service.  I didn't think about these small things when booking your services and I certainly didn't think to ask about them... but I sure am glad you paid attention to detail. Yesterday's wedding has highlighted the standard of professionalism we got from you leading up to and during our wedding day - it was the best service we could have imagined. Our guests commented on how personalised our service was and even commented on your emotive responses on the day. I am so pleased they remember you for all the right things.
     Although I sent you a 'thank you' card after our wedding day I just felt compelled to write to you and say thank you again Jenny. I wonder if I'll ever go to another wedding ceremony and actually see a celebrant who has paid attention to every little detail like you. You helped to make our day memorable and you've set the standard high. 
      Regards,  Melissa
 

Our Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding with Jenny far surpassed what we were expecting. When we decided 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! - Amber and Leonie who travelled from Germany to celebrate their relationship with a handfasting at Sassafras Café at Paddington.

A remarkably professional service. Not able to be improved upon. Our family and friends were very impressed. We give thanks that A.J. guided us towards your person. -Heather and Keith who celebrated 50 years of marriage with a ceremony held at Woodlands of Marburg.

It was a pleasure to work with you on Sunday, you are a gifted professional - Kerri Jessep, the photographer for Heather and Keith's ceremony.

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 at the City Botanic Gardens

Hi Jennifer,
Svetlana and I have just arrived back from our honeymoon, we had a wonderful time at Twin Water resort. We also had a a fantastic reception and our ceremony was great, God was looking down on us on Saturday before he let the heavens open up with rain, we were very lucky.
We would like to thank you for our ceremony and all that you did for us it was a wonderful day, THANK YOU very much.   With love and respect, David and Svetlana,  who married at Centenary Lakes, Caboolture with family, friends and a large flock of cockatoos in attendance

Both Fabrizio and I would like to thank you for a beautiful memorable day. You really made our special day special. All our friends and family commented on the great job you done. Your words where really sweet and meant a lot to us. It was obvious to all that you really enjoy your job and are very dedicated and put in the effort to learn a little about us and then use that in your service.  Gulay and Fabrizio who married in a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha

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.

Just a short note to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for making it all come together so nicely it was described as elegant  warm dignified and friendly -just what we aimed for. Many thanks. I will never forget you Jennifer - Franca who married her handsome love, Aurelio, in an intimate ceremony at Toni's Restaurant at Mt Gravatt.

Living overseas but deciding to have our wedding in Brisbane meant we had to put our trust in Jenny to do most of the work. We only met her face-to-face the evening before our 'big day'. Everything was perfect. She made us feel so at ease. Thanks Jenny The whole experience was wonderful. The work you did (and we did) to formulate the ceremony was something neither of us had thought about having to do but really made us feel involved. - Tony & Anna-Marie who nipped across from New Zealand for a long weekend for their intimate wedding.

Thanks for the perfect ceremony!! We are so glad you were our celebrant. Thank you for helping us through the whole process and for always being so approachable & available!! The ceremony was beautiful. Perfect. We loved how you personalised the whole service and made it very inclusive of the attendants etc. Everyone there on the day commented on what a fantastic job you did and how lovely the ceremony was.
- Susan & Kath, who celebrated their love in a commitment ceremony at Mt Glorious Getaways

Hi Jenny. I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you again for the lovely ceremony you conducted today. We received so many comments from our friends and family after the ceremony saying they thought it was excellent. We shall certainly recommend your services to anyone else we know who is getting married or having a naming ceremony in the future. Many thanks, Geleeta, James and Sage.

Once again I would like to thank you for the time and effort you put into our beautiful ceremony.  The whole day was just wonderful and was exactly as we had envisaged.  Kind regards, Melanie & Bobby who married in the grounds of the University of Queensland in an intimate ceremony that included three lovely little fairies and a highland piper.

Hello Jennifer, I just wish to convey my sincere thanks for such a beautiful ceremony that you performed for Candice (my daughter) & Chris. It was so personal and full of love the memories of that special day will stay with me forever. Everyone was inspired and moved by the ceremony and commented on just how beautiful it was. Everything was so perfect with the personal touches that were included in the ceremony it was very hard by all to keep a dry eye on the day. Thank you again I would highly recommend you. Kind Regards, Dianne (Mother of the Bride). Chris and Candice celebrated their marriage with family and friends in a formal reaffirmation of vows featuring an unusual variation on the sand ceremony.

Jenny, Thank you so much for yesterday. It was a perfect day and I had so much fun. Everything was just so wonderful and many guests commented on the ceremony and how it fit us perfectly. Thank You for listening to us about what we wanted and delivering it to a tee! - Glenys xxx - Glenys and Gary married in a grove of 300 year old Moreton Bay Fig Trees in a ceremony that honoured their Scottish, Welsh and Australian heritages

Hi Jenny, Thank you so much for helping us with the ceremony yesterday, it was magical and not a dry eye in the place! Thank you for everything (leading up to and including yesterday). Not only did we have a great time but we’ve heard so many fabulous comments about the ceremony, and the way you conducted it.  Everyone really enjoyed it and they definitely let us know which is fantastic! - Michelle and Paula who exuberantly jumped the broom at the end of their commitment ceremony in the ceremony garden at Clear Mountain Lodge

Thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony you created for our special day. It exceeded our expectations. What a perfect start to our married life! We have received many compliments from our guests which we credit to you. You put our minds at ease, always answered our questions. You delivered an emotional, personal and inclusive ceremony and many people commented how good it was. It wasn't 'the standard wedding' which is exactly what we wanted and thank you very much. - Melissa and Andrew who married at Indooroopilly Golf Club in a ceremony that incorporated a purpose-created ritual that looked forward to their first wedding anniversary.

You made our wedding such a special yet a hassle-free one. We absolutely loved the vows you customised for us and are really grateful for your help. You're the best! We're totally satisfied.  Ruchi and Jonas who eloped on the Shorncliffe Pier

Thank you for making our Moroccan/Bellydance themed wedding come together perfectly! We wanted something original and unique, while keeping that "traditional" Middle Easter feel, and you gave that to us. As you know one of our guests from the day has now chosen you for her upcoming wedding as well! A lot of people commented afterwards how moving the ceremony was. Thank you! - Maria and Jeff who married in a sumptuous theme wedding at the Everton Park Hotel.

Jenny, Thank you so much for your wamth and professionalism in preparing for an officiating our wedding.  You made everyone in the wedding party feel at ease as you guided us through our ceremony, which was structured especially for us. Thank you for your flexibility, guidance and experience in ceremony-writing. Thank you for allowing our wedding to be fun, romantic and uniquely 'us'. It was a day we will remember fondly forever. We had the most beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you! - Luke and Bronwyn who married at the Summit Restaurant on Mt Coot-tha in a ceremony that put a new twist on some old traditions.

We were lucky to witness one of the most touching ceremonies which brought tears to everyone's eyes. - Comment by photographer Lucia Tai in her blog entry about  Bronwyn and Luke's wedding at the Summit Restaurant at Mt Coot-tha. Read more and see some of Lucia's lovely photos on her blog http://www.almaphotography.blogspot.com/  6 July 2009 "A Fairytale Wedding - Bronwyn & Luke"

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! xxoo Carly & Dan who married at Einbinpun Lagoon, Sandgate in a casual, relaxed ceremony.
I don't quite know how to put into words how beautiful our ceremony was! Every guest has commented on how they felt included & involved - which was our No 1 criteria that we asked you for. The way in which you weaved our story into the ceremony was perfect & there was not a dry eye in the house - either from laughing or crying. It was absolutely everything we could have asked for & more! Thank yo for making our day perfect.

Thank you so much for a beautiful ceremony. The comments from the guests afterwards were truly inspiring - I wish you had been able to hear them yourself. Everyone was impressed with the way the ceremony was especially for Alice and Murray and not just picked from a list. - from Judy, Murray's mother. Alice and Murray reaffirmed their vows in a candlelit ceremony in Judy's garden.

Jenny, Steve and I would like to thank you for making our day perfect. Coming from another state and dealing purely by email couldn't have been easier. Prompt responses to my emails put my mind at ease & showed me that we had picked the best celebrant to perform our ceremony. Jenny, you wrote the vows perfectly and said them with the passion that was required. When we first met you on our day you were so lovely. Words can't really express our gratitude for your professionalism. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Would recommend your services to everyone. - Angie & Steve who married at Roma Street Parklands on a stopover during a cruise

Better than any huge wedding. I will never forget my first hug as Bob's wife. Jennifer, it was just perfect. Thank you. - Sherryl & Bob, who held their Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding in their own lounge-room with just two witnesses.

Hi  Jenny, We just wanted to thank you for your lovely  ceremony last Saturday. It was exactly what we wanted and was enjoyed by all. We especially liked the personalised  touch you gave. We also appreciate you performing this at such sort notice. Perhaps we will see you in another year or so with the next one!! Kind regards, Danielle and Will whose naming for their daughter Charlotte was arranged to coincide with a short trip back home from overseas.

Jenny was always very professional and very efficient but still warm and funny. She made us feel very relaxed and at ease. She was engaging and made everyone feel at ease. She was easily contactable and responded quickly to my emails. - Melanie & James who married in an intimate ceremony at New Farm Park organised from the UK

Thank you for such a beautiful & perfect naming ceremony for both our children. The words,& readings were both inspirational & thoughtful. Everyone felt included in the ceremony & commented such afterwards. A beautiful memory for our family. Thank you. Kerrie, Brendan, Gemma & Cooper who celebrated the naming of Gemma in their own backyard and two years later held a naming ceremony for Cooper in the same place.

Visa wedding held in Judy's lovely rural garden

Jennifer has been an awesome marriage celebrant throughout the entire process. She has been very suportive and understanding towards both of our needs.

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 heritage

Dear Jenny,
We just wanted to say another big thankyou for our fantastic wedding ceremony.  It was just perfect, and very 'us'.  We loved that it was so intimate, and personal, yet our guests felt so involved.  Many of our guests commented on how wonderful it was that you used our own words in the ceremony, and we've even had a few of our friends comment that they'd like to steal a few ideas for their own wedding ceremonies! Thank you once again for your amazing work. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends and family. - Penny & Chris, who married at Brett's Wharf

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.

The ceremony was a wonderful experience - everything said was beautiful. Guests commented it was so nice it was like a wedding. it made us feel the day was a very special way to introduce our baby. We'll never forget it. - T

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. The whole ceremony ran extremely well. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how wonderfully intimate it was for many weeks after and how thoroughly they enjoyed it. We have no hesitations recommending Jennifer to all of our friends in the future - Sally & Corey, who included a Unity Candle lighting in their traditional ceremony held at Rydges, South Bank.

And a second thank you from Sally & Corey: Just a big thank you for everything you did for us in preparation for, and on the day of our wedding on the 12th January. everyone has been raving about the ceremony and how wonderfully creative and intimate it was. we had an absolute ball and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. our photos also turned out incredibly well, due to your input and suggestions about positioning and layout of the ceremony. I know we will always remember the day as one of the best in our lives, thanks to your professionalism and assistance on our special day.   Many thanks again.

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

We 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

Our experience with Jennifer doing our Naming Ceremony went above & beyond our expectations. The day went perfectly. She was able to understand and deliver exactly what we felt in our hearts. Thanks for making it so personal & special. x - M & G

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**** and I both want to thank you for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us.   A lot of people have said that it is the best wedding they have ever been to and one of my friends said she doesn't usually cry but says I pushed her over the 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

Thank you so much for the wonderful marriage ceremony you wrote & presented for us. All our guests have commented on how personal it was. There were plenty of happy tears flowing on the day. We had a fantastic day. A ceremony we will never forget. - C & D

Very emotional. You made everyone feel part of the ceremony and a part of  G***'s life. - K & B

Thank you for another great ceremony. You're awesome at what you do. - K

We would like to thank you for the fantastic wedding ceremony you did for us. It was just perfect & everything we both wished for. The atmosphere was relaxed & loving 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. - Holly and Kenneth who 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.

M*** and I 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. - N & MThank-you

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. - Mark [the Groom]. Mark and Bridget married in an emotional ceremony which brought friends and members of their families from all over the world. Held in the Fountain Courtyard at Hillstone St Lucia the ceremony incorporated a blessing by Mark's father. Their wedding is featured in current Hillstone St Lucia advertisements.

So many people commented how warm the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed it. Jennifer's relaxed personality and friendly smile made us feel immediately at ease. Her attention to detail and inventive suggestions helped make our wedding ceremony personalised and meaningful. We are so pleased that Jennifer shared the journey with us. - Paul and Erin who married at Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens in a ceremony that reflected their love for their dog, for each other, and for their families.

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.- Rose, Daniel & Lily whose naming ceremony was held at Moora Park, Shorncliffe

Our experience with Jennifer doing our Naming Ceremony went above and beyond our expectations. The day went perfectly. She was able to understand and deliver exactly what we felt in our hearts. Thanks for making it so personal and special - Mel and Grant

We all enjoyed the experience and family and friends told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony too. Your research (the thing with the flame lily) was excellent. - Charles and Elizabeth, who married on the Manly foreshore in a ceremony that incorporated jumping the broom.

Good morning Jennifer, Thank you for you ceremony on Sunday, everyone commented how beautiful it was, especially the certificates. Kind regards, Kim, Jeffrey and Katelyn.

Our aim was to have a unique ceremony with vows that reflected us as a couple. you were both accommodating of our needs and had excellent suggestions for including our families and guests in the ceremony. You clearly explained the legal requirements where appropriate and all paperwork was taken care of in a professional manner. During the rehearsal you handled the emotions of family memebrs in a sensitive and careful manner, with a sense of humor. This ensured that people were relaxed during the ceremony. Your delivery of the ceremony was clear and most importantly, sincere. We appreciated both your personal and professional approach. Ryan, myself, our families and guests believed it was one of the best ceremonies we have attended. - Ryan and Pip who married at Eve's on the River, Teneriffe.

Jennifer, we were very please with the way you handled our somewhat different wedding. You were supportive from the moment we first met to the moment of us signing the marriage register. We would not have changed anything. Thank you so much for your help and guidance. - Jan and Vince.

David and I both want to thank you for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us. A lot of people have said that it is the best wedding they have ever been to and one of my firend said she doesn't usually cry but says I pushed her over the edge! We had such a fantastic day.  - Melanie and David who married in a private garden.

Dear Jennifer
Thank you so much for working with us on our wedding and naming of Sam. The whole process from first meeting to ceremony was a pleasure. The ceremony was great and met all our expectations (exceeded them). Ws felt your attention to getting all things perfect paid off and we had a stress free and forever memorable ceremony. We were really pleased with how the day went and all had a great time - Michelle, Ben, and Sam who had a combination wedding and naming ceremony at the Latrobe Chapel.

You showed that you really cared and made our day really special. You are friendly, caring and respectful. You go out of your way to make sure you give people what they want. We would recommend you to anyone. You made us feel comfortable, and your technique is professional. Your services are amazing and we trust you.  G & K

Everyone present found it a moving and very enjoyable ceremony. Wonderful job. Thank you so much for a wonderful morning we will never forget. M & P

To me the marriage was one of the most memorable, and you made it perfect. - Grandmother of the groom

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 P_ 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! - P & L

You have made us feel very special and I hope we can keep in touch - S & Z

We loved, and everyone present commented on the service being so personal. You are so easy to talk to, like someone we'd known for years. When we have baby number 2, we will give you a call for his/her ceremony. Wish we'd met you when we were getting married. Z & B

We were very satisfied with the way the ceremony was performed to our "requirements"  and how you fitted in with everything we wanted out of the day and how you fitted into our "casual approach". You were in no way pushy and were extremely helpful throughout the whole process especially considering the short amount of notice we had given for the ceremony and how fussy we were with what was said. You fitted in with us, you let us express our ideas and stuck with them, you didn't try to coerce us into doing anything different or what we did not want, you were easily accessible if we needed information and advice. - A & M

Thanks so much for a fabulous ceremony, it went far beyond our expectations. Thanks for all the work you put into the ceremony it meant a lot to our family, Love C, D & E

The Ceremony was absolutely beautiful - exactly what we wanted. - J & T

Thank you so much for making our wedding such a special day. We appreciated all the time and effort you put in to make it the perfect day. Thank You. - K & M

This time around the whole naming ceremony was a lot more personal, meaningful, and well considered. The whole afternoon felt a lot more like us, including having the kids play on the tree during the ceremony, and that made it very special. In comparison, we felt disappointed that we had not found you for S*****'s naming. - R & T
