Jen Lawrie-Smith Marriage Celebrant

When we met up with Jen we easily decided on the spot that we wanted her to be our celebrant. Jen was very knowledgeable & had lots of great ideas & great resources to gain some inspiration. Leading up to our wedding I was very anxious with what information to include our ceremony & there were many emails back and forth that Jen was not only quick to respond to, but eased my anxiety & discussed anything I was concerned with. Jen was very thorough with our when we met for our rehearsal the day before our wedding & was able to give us some helpful advice on how to include our how family in our wedding. All of our guest said how much they enjoyed Jens ceremony & jokes she threw in there relating to us & how much fun it was. Thank you so much Jen!

The moment my now husband and I met Jen, at a coffee shop in Queenscliff we both knew we had made the right decision. Jen turned up in her volunteer coastguard uniform looking a million dollars and full of adventure and life!! She was perfect for us! Jen made the whole process so seamless and was so accommodating the whole time. We had family turn up extremely last minute from the US and Jen took all of this in her stride, adapting things so everything would flow so smoothly on the day! And it did, people laughed and cried and everyone loved her! The care and consideration Jen took in making the most important part of our day special was second to none. I couldn’t recommend a more beautiful lady for the the most special of days! A million Thankyou’s Jen!!!!

From the initial interaction with Jen; she was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. She invited us down to her house to meet face to face and hear about our journey as a couple. Jen took the time to get to know us and once we completed our questionnaire, we had a draft copy of the ceremony for review. Because of her thoroughness, it was essentially what we envisioned. She prepared and delivered a heart felt ceremony - which we had many compliments on. While looking around for a marriage celebrant, Jen was at the top end of our budget. Upon meeting her, we had a great feeling about her and decided this part of our wedding was something we didn't want to skimp on. Were so happy we made the choice to go with Jen. She is a true professional, kept open lines of communication and was always available via email. Thank you for playing such a special role in our wedding.

My (now!) husband and I contacted Jen when at short notice we had some issues with our previously booked celebrant. Jen went above and beyond to help us sort out our legal paperwork and create a wonderful and unique ceremony that reflected us as a couple. Jen had a wealth of resources and information that she provided to us which we found extremely helpful. In short Jen was our saviour!! Jen's communication with us was exceptional and we felt so confident and reassured in her hands. Jen was so well prepared and articulate on the day and we had so many positive comments from our friends and family about the ceremony! We loved sharing this extremely special day with Jen and are forever grateful to her for turning around our situation into a day that we will remember forever! Lola and Sam

She was great and really professional! She had a lot of great ideas for our wedding and really lovely to talk to. She had a really calming presence which made everything as stress-free as possible.

Jen was really lovely to work with, and the ceremony was exactly how we had hoped! Her fees were also very reasonable.

Jen was exactly what we were looking for in a celebrant. From our very first meeting, she soothed our nerves and answered all our silly questions with passion and confidence. She was a guiding light during our wedding rehearsal and a beacon of calm during our ceremony. Highly recommended.

My partner and I were extremely happy with our wedding ceremony and the preparation that Jen put into it . We met Jen months in advance and she was extremely accommodating. She took the time to get to know us and our individual relationship in order to prepare a ceremony that was unique to us. She was always readily available via email/phone and ensured we were happy with every element of her draft prior to the day.

Jen was absolutely brilliant to deal with whilst making it personalised to us for our low key wedding. Her personal touch and warm personality made it that much more special on the day.

Maya and I couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Jen was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She was extremely efficient and professional but with a personal touch. She is very experienced and was able to offer a lot of helpful advice and suggestions throughout. On the day itself, she was a the ultimate professional. She made everyone feel at ease and performed a beautiful ceremony. Thank you Jen xx

We are so pleased Jen was part of our special day. Jen is an absolute professional - our guests all commented on what a beautiful ceremony she created. She told our story so perfectly with the right balance of humour and sincerity. Thank you Jen! xxx

Jen was great! She was organized, well spoken and very calming throughout the ceremony and in the lead up. She was a pleasure to deal with and we would highly recommend her.

Jen did a lovely job of making our day relaxed, fun and tailored just for us. She was very professional, organised and helped to create the right atmosphere for us to tie the knot. It was a real pleasure having her officiate over both my partner and his brother's wedding's.
