"Jennie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we messaged each other to being the celebrant on the wedding day. She created such a beautiful fun ceremony, while remaining calm and professional at all times. Jennie is a book of knowledge when it comes to writing vows, and putting a ceremony together. She happily responded to lots of my questions promptly, without any problems.

Would 100% ++++++++++ recommend Jennie if your looking for a celebrant you won’t be disappointed!"

"We just wanted today how amazing it was to work with you over the last year and thank you for making it so easy, relaxing and stress free. You have a lovely nature and just put us at ease from the first moment we met you. With how crazy the lead up to the wedding was and being on the other side of the world, you were able to help us with last minute changes to the ceremony which was amazing. We would definitely recommend you anyone we know looking for a celebrant.

Thanks again and take care,"

​"When kicking off our wedding planning Jen was the first and only celebrant we spoke to.  We immediately liked her and felt that she would easily fit our bill of wanting a lovely, warm, relaxed ceremony that reflected us as a couple. Jen took the time to get to know us, nothing was too much trouble – even last minute changes and throughout the whole process we felt confident that the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted.  Planning a wedding can be stressful so it was great having the confidence that the ceremony side of things was in great hands.  Numerous guests have commented on the ceremony - the stories, the sentiment and the humour.  

We highly recommend Jen as someone who will make this special and important day one to remember."
Sue & Wayne

"Jennie was amazing from the get go. She made the whole process so seamless for us. We didn't want our ceremony to be too formal but personalized around us and our love for each other.  We had full trust that she had the whole ceremony covered which was one less thing for us to worry about. She did such an amazing job.

Jen really has a way with words that touches everyone’s hearts."
Sean & Leah

"Thank you for making the day a special one for our family and friends. Although funerals are a time of sadness the day for us was also full of fond memories and a few laughs, just as H would have wanted it.

Thank you once again you were amazing."

"A wedding day is one of the most special and important days of your life and as the celebrant plays such an integral part of this day, we felt it was important that we chose someone who we knew cared about us and was just as excited about our day as we were. As soon as we met Jennie, we knew she was the one for us! We could feel the care and love radiating off her - this remained through the whole process, from the first time we met, right through to the ceremony.
Jennie took the time and effort to get to know us so well, that when we received the draft script, it was as if someone who had known us for years had written it.
She was more than happy to make last minute amendments and never made us feel as though it was an inconvenience. The ceremony itself, was perfect and it was all down to Jennies passion and pride for what she does. 

Thank you Jennie,"
Ashleigh & Simon

"Thank you so much for what you did for our family with the eulogy and the wonderful service.

"Jennie is very well organised and relaxed, which was much appreciated by Hazel and myself. She has a comprehensive check list which will give you a trusting comfort of knowing things will happen on time and to the letter.
Jennie was well rehearsed with the marriage ceremony which was custom built for Hazel and myself. We met at the venue and made arrangements for either wet or sunny day, as we had elderly people coming, who had special needs that had to be catered for.
Jennie told a fun and humorous story of our relationship, which lead on to the serious side of the wedding ceremony. Here she paid attention to detail having spent time with not only the bride and groom but also the bridesmaid and best man.
With less than 3 hours to start time I made the decision to move our event inside from our preferred outside venue. Jennie dealt with this situation very well in a relaxed manner and she worked well with the music/sound people.
Our time table ran almost to the minute. This was because the preparation was well organised and carefully planned. We had 155 guests and they have without exception complimented us on how well organised and relaxed the atmosphere was and that everything ran to time.
We feel lucky to have had Jennie involved with our special day and we have no hesitation in recommending her to our friends, family and anyone else.

Thank you for making our day a very special one that was enjoyed by all our guests."

"Thanks so much for Sunday.  We had a lot of guests comment on how lovely the ceremony was and how good the celebrant was!  So well done!  The wood pigeon provided a few laughs and I think it's good luck, although thank god it didn't drop a load down the front of my dress.

Cheers"

"Maree and I had been looking around for a celebrant for a while. After talking to Jen for the first time we instantly knew she was going to be impeccable.
Jen is super friendly and professional, makes you feel at ease. She is so relatable and easy to open up to and chat to. She has a great personality, her sense of humour totally matches ours.
I was a little nervous about writing my vows, I knew what I wanted to say but struggled to get it down on paper. Jen helped me to bring it all together and they sounded perfect, she certainly has a way with words.
On the day it felt like she’d know us for years. The ceremony was beautiful, light hearted and funny, but at the same time very touching. (I cried a few times :P)
We would like to thank you so much for helping to make our best day ever. And would highly recommend you to everyone we know.

Thanks again Jen for everything."

A beautiful bride, a stunning day and just perfect ceremony."

"I would like to say thank you so much for facilitating the burial of our parents ashes on Saturday.  You conducted a dignified ceremony with thought and sensitivity which the family appreciated.  Bill’s sisters were grateful to be able to say their farewells in a tangible way, and the whole family were very happy with the service and proceedings. We had such a beautiful sunny day, and with the lack of other people in the cemetery it felt like our own private park. We will always remember it.
 
Thanks again Jennie"

"I can't speak highly enough about our wonderful celebrant Jen. My husband and I are kiwis living in Australia and all our planning was done from here, this meant we could only meet Jen via Skype. Upon our first meeting Jen's energy was infectious and she made us feel comfortable and engaged. It was without question that we knew Jen was the celebrant for us.

When we arrived back home the week of the wedding Jen made sure she came to meet us in person at the venue and she worked around our schedule, she just made everything so easy. Jen was fantastic all throughout the process as well, we were a bit slow getting our vows together and Jen offered help and patience all throughout. On the day she made the whole ceremony come together beautifully and we were honoured to have her marry us.

Thank once again Jen, it was a pleasure to have you marry us and a part of our special day."

"Jen was wonderful! From the day we first met her, she showed so much interest in us, and our story.  Jen was happy to meet with us more than once and not only attended our rehearsal but was happy to give us ideas and suggestions to make it perfect.  She took care of everything including our marriage licence, all documents, sent reminders when needed, gave us advice and suggestions and answered all our questions leading up to the day. She printed out our personally written vows, and on the day communicated with our photographer, musician, MC, Best Man, as well as us.  It was clear at our wedding she knew us and everything she said felt genuine.

We would highly recommend Jen as a celebrant, and are so pleased we found her."

Apologies that it has taken a little time to send this! We are writing to you on behalf of all of Rod’s family, to thank you so very much for the fitting farewell service that you gave for our Dad, and Father-in-law, Roderick Marr. You conducted Rod’s service with such warmth and care. Your attention to the details of Rod’s life, helped us all to remember the many wonderful moments we all spent with him, over the years. Thank you so much for helping to make a very difficult time for the whole family – a little easier! 

With our very best wishes,"

"Graham and I decided to get married on Christmas Eve 2014, but we need a Celebrant. So on 15th December we rang Jennie to see if she was available to marry us! To Jennie it was no problem, she was as excited as us, and then we thought 'how can we organise this with 10 days notice?' Jennie explained what we had to do and made it so easy for us. As one could imagine Christmas Eve was imposing on everyone's Christmas but it was no problem to Jennie. Our vows were perfect and evening was magical. We can highly recommend Jennie for a wonderful ceremony; so supportive of both our families and friends.

Thanks Jennie once again for making our evening so magical."

He wasn’t well and life for him over the last few months was hard. As I said to you on the day we were lucky to have had you as the celebrant. You made the formal part of the day go seamlessly which is how good people make things go.

Thanks again and best regards"
