I am Jen, an Authorised Marriage Celebrant based in beautiful Victoria, and I am here to help you create a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and unmistakably yours. I believe every love story deserves a personal and unforgettable celebration. As a local marriage celebrant in Berwick, I proudly serve Melbourne’s South Eastern suburbs, The Dandenong Ranges Yarra Valley, Warragul, and the wider Gippsland region. My approach is warm, open, and genuinely people focused.
I work closely with every couple to shape a ceremony that reflects who you are, whether that is deeply personal, light hearted and fun, or something beautifully in between. I bring a friendly and calm presence to the process, along with a lifetime of experiences that help me understand people from all walks of life. I do have a tendency to get excited for the event too. I have married first timers, second timers, third timers, and even fourth timers. Love does not follow a rulebook, and neither do I. All couples, all stories, and all journeys are welcome.
I deliver ceremonies with compassion and care:
I guide you through the legal requirements, help you shape your vows, and make sure everything flows smoothly on the day. My focus is always on creating a ceremony filled with love, laughter, and memories that last a lifetime.
If you are looking for a local celebrant in Berwick, or a wedding celebrant who travels across Melbourne’s south east, the Yarra Valley, Warragul, or Gippsland, I would love to be part of your special day. I love what I do, especially when you say, “I do.”
I handle all legal requirements, help you shape your vows, and ensure your ceremony flows smoothly from start to finish. My approach is warm, relaxed, and inclusive — all couples and all stories are welcome.
With a rich and varied life journey behind me, I bring understanding, empathy, and a calm presence to every ceremony. I’m here to help you create a moment filled with love, laughter, and memories that last a lifetime.

What does a marriage celebrant do?
As your celebrant, I guide you through every step of your ceremony — from the legal requirements to writing your vows and creating a personalised script that reflects your relationship. I handle all the paperwork, lodge your marriage documents, and ensure your ceremony runs smoothly from start to finish.
Where do you officiate ceremonies?
Choosing a celebrant who knows the area means you get someone familiar with local venues, travel routes, and ceremony logistics. I regularly officiate weddings across Berwick, Beaconsfield, Pakenham, The Dandenong Ranges, Narre Warren, the Yarra Valley, Warragul, and the wider Gippsland region.
If your venue is outside these areas, just ask — I’m always happy to travel.












Ultimately, we were very impressed with how well the service was handled during our ceremony, and we both believe you, as our local marriage celebrant, went above and beyond to meet our expectations for our special day. What I appreciated most were the suggested poems and personal quotes that you included, along with your feedback on how we could arrange our wedding for it to run smoothly. I believe having the recommended rehearsal that you encouraged was one of the many reasons I was more relaxed on the wedding day, even though things didn't go so smoothly because of the dress situation and running late. We both would like to say a big thank you for all your hard work and advice throughout each step of the way. We couldn't have done it without you and your support as our Berwick celebrant. Warmest regards, Aggie & Chris
We engaged Jennifer as our local marriage celebrant solely for the legal component of our wedding since a family member had not yet received their Authorisation to perform weddings from the Attorney-General's Department. We couldn't have been happier. Jen, our Berwick celebrant, was friendly, thorough, and provided plenty of advice and tips to help with the smooth running of our ceremony. It was such a special day, and we will always be grateful for the support Jen provided to us. With plenty of great advice and tips, lots of smiles, super-efficient service, and above all, her kindness, we highly recommend her as a Warragul celebrant or any wedding celebrant.
We discovered Jennifer Ryder through an online portal, and she was truly wonderful as our local marriage celebrant. We appreciated the extra touches she provided, like including a beautiful and meaningful poetic piece. Combined with our vows, what she created was perfect for us. Jennifer is very sincere and would be an excellent choice for your ceremony as a Berwick celebrant. She is an amazing woman, warm and friendly. We're incredibly grateful to have chosen her as our wedding celebrant.
From the moment we met Jennifer, our wonderful local marriage celebrant, we knew she would guide us on our journey to marriage with her heartfelt demeanor, friendliness, kindness, and compassion, all while sharing a few laughs along the way. As a passionate Berwick celebrant, she truly loves her role, and we couldn't have been happier to have Jennifer conduct our beautiful and private ceremony. Throughout the process, she stayed in touch, provided regular updates, followed up on our questions, and offered valuable feedback. The script she created truly reflected us, making us feel incredibly comfortable. We are so grateful to you, Jennifer, for your support and guidance as our wedding celebrant. With our love, Serena and Steve.
