Brisbane Marriage Celebrant

   Jennifer Cram 

Award Winning Celebrant - judged  one of Brisbane's top  3 celebrants in the 2012 ABIA Designer of Dreams






Imagine your special day made extra special by an extraordinary ceremony that reflects your wishes and values  - a ceremony that includes exclusive contemporary elements - a unique ceremony created specifically for you and  performed with warmth and friendliness

Wedding Celebrant - Baby Naming Celebrant - Commitment Ceremonies - Reaffirmation of Vows - Divorce and Separation Ceremonies - Milestones Ceremonies and Celebrations

I will be delighted to work with you to fully understand your wishes for your ceremony and to translate them into reality - a ceremony that delights and engages your guests, keeps them talking for months afterwards (in a good way) and exceeds your expectations.

The kind of magic that achieves this doesn't just happen. This is why I work very hard to gather information about what you would like for every aspect of the ceremony from you, together with the information that helps make the ceremony totally unique.

Through extensive knowledge of ceremonies and celebrancy, thoughtful and in-depth examination of every aspect of the traditional marriage ceremony, and of other types of ceremonies, a natural bent towards creativity and pushing the envelope, and the wisdom that comes with maturity and life-experience, together with my track record of 700+ ceremonies, I
can guarantee that your ceremony will not be a ho-hum experience incorporating outdated gender stereotypes, tired old rituals or long-winded readings used as fillers, a blow-by-blow account of how you met and the daily details of your relationship, or presumptious and boring lectures. My aim is that no-one looks at their watch, and everyone goes away saying "that was so them...." so I take a very creative approach to fusing tradition with your personal style to create a contemporary personal ceremony.
A word about my fees
There seems to be an increasing trend to couples emailing celebrants looking for a "cheap but fabulous" celebrant "because we are on a tight budget".  More than anywhere else you tend to get what you pay for when you hire a celebrant.

If you are having a wedding (as opposed to just get married without any of the fancy stuff) then what you spend on your celebrant as opposed to the stretch limo and expensive cake is a matter of priorities. One of my brides recently commented to me that a skilled and experienced celebrant able to inject a bit of humour into the ceremony without making it about the celebrant, able to weave the magic of the couple's relationship through every word, and able to incorporate into the ceremony unique touches that reflect the heritage and personalities of the couple is a bargain at $1000 (way above my top fee), but a bad celebrant is much too expensive at $100.

I firmly believe that your ceremony is an investment in your relationship with one another and with your friends and family present. Most of all it is an investment memories that will last for the rest of your lives - for better or worse. But I am aware that times are tough, so I offer a range of ceremony styles at fees that reflect the amount of time that each demands of me (but apply the same high skill level and dedication to all of them).

Don't take my word for it. Check out my testimonials!

We could not have wished for a more tailored, beautiful, and memorable wedding ceremony. It felt intimate even with 110 guests! Jennifer was professional yet so personable and ensured that all elements, legal and meaningful, were included. At no point did we ever have to worry as it was all taken cared of so wonderfully. We felt like the ceremony perfectly reflected us and our feelings and values. Thank you for helping shape such a special part of our lives together.
- Lena & Julian

Thank you for the most serene, perfect ceremony that we will always remember. Your name has come up at just about every social event/bbq we've been to /had since the wedding!
- Michelle, who married Tony on the beach at Scotts Point.

Hi Jenny,  You did an outstanding job on Saturday, thank you very much. We had so many positive comments about the quality of the ceremony, it was a real buzz for Katie and I. We'll be back in contact when we get back from Canada. Thanks again,  - Stu, who married his lovely bride at Clear Mountain Lodge

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