Jennifer Cram
Brisbane Humanist Marriage Celebrant
aka The Celebrant Who Gives You More
Please call me Jenny. All my
friends do. And I hope that we will become firm friends
as we work together to create a ceremony that is a
perfect mix of laughter and tears, of serious words and
light-hearted expressions, of words to listen to,
actions to look at, symbolism to internalise, and
interaction between you and your guests as well as
between your guests and me, your celebrant.
So what do I do differently? Quite simple. Most
ceremonies, wedding ceremonies especially, start with a
pre-determined standard structure to which you might add
some personalisation to put your stamp on the ceremony.
I turn that on its head, because, in order to make the
ceremony truly yours, and really about you, we need to
start with you. Who you are, what makes you tick, what
dreams and ideas you have. And then we allow that to
inform, guide, and determine the structure of the
ceremony. And that applies equally regardless of whether
it is a wedding, commitment, naming, renewal of vows, or
other ceremony.
Becoming a marriage celebrant has been one the best
decisions I've ever made. It is both a privilege and a
pleasure to work with couples (and individuals) to turn
hopes and ideas into a beautiful, meaningful ceremony.
A little about me. I am a professional, accredited,
independent,
award-winning
marriage celebrant who encourages you to think outside
the box. Getting married, or organising a ceremony to
celebrate a significant life event, shouldn't be hard.
So I work hard to make the process straightforward and
focused on what you want and on how you want your
ceremony to look and feel. I give you more ... more
Time, more Attention, more Creativity, more Information,
more Resources, and more Autonomy. Basically, I give you
all the ideas, knowledge, suggestions, and freedom you
need to have a ceremony that is everything it could be,
and should be, because life's too short for boring!
Jennifer was wonderful. The ceremony was relaxed and
enjoyable. Our guests all enjoyed the ceremony and
all commented on Jennifer's knowledge and passion
for the process. - Allan and Claire
Our guests all commented afterward that Jenny was an
engaging celebrant and the ceremony was more
interesting and personal than a regular wedding. -
Jamie and Michael
Jenny is knowledgeable, prompt, appropriately
attired, excellent value for money, and most
importantly to us, very precise with legal
paperwork. Jenny is 100% professional and she WONT
let you down! Don't worry about the rest, she's
the best! - Rebekah
and Glen
Thank you so much for helping us make our wedding day
the success that it was. You made the process so easy
for us so we could focus on other details. Again.
Thank you so much!! Lotsa love -
Rod and Yohan

Jennifer’s calm and thoughtful approach
encouraged us to make it entirely our own, with
all of the bits we wanted and none of the long
winded elements that are so often part of a
wedding. - De
and Graham
After much research we approached Jennifer to
officiate our commitment ceremony five years ago. This
was followed by our parents 65th wedding anniversary
reaffirmation of vows. When same sex marriage became
legal in Australia we immediately booked Jennifer to
formalise our union, one of the first in the country
and Jennifer's first. As always Jennifer performed her
duties as a consummate professional, conducting our
ceremony in a warm compassionate manner. We have
absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jennifer.

Craig and James
The written information you
gave us was wonderful, as was the process of
creating and developing the ceremony. The way
you performed the ceremony on the day was
extraordinarily simple and lovely. - Zino
and Gboyega
The process was simple for us,
so very simple & effortless. We were given
plenty of information, and we absolutely loved
Jennifer sharing her knowledge of customs &
traditions of different cultures, her background
knowledge is absolutely incredible. -
Brandon and Nicole
You were able to weave a personal and unique
ceremony from our answers to your questionnaire.
We were most impressed with how you delivered a
ceremony that was a true reflection of us. It went
beyond our expectations and we would highly
recommend you as would many of our guests. -
Eileen and
Miles
I love working with you - you are always so
professional and caring plus we have a stack of
fun. I love how it's always about
the bride and groom and what they are about and
what they want. With you no request from them is
too much trouble. You are an angel xoxo

As effortlessly as you delivered the whole ceremony,
the guests would not have known how much work you had
put in to making our day as wonderful as it was. We
knew!! Gratefully - Hanna and Mark
The way you conduct a ceremony is amazing.
You make the guests feel like you've known us for
years. - Emma and Jeremy
