Wedding Ceremonies
You’re engaged! WOW! Congratulations.
I’m so excited for you.
This is the first step on a momentous and wonderful journey together.
You may have dreamed of this day for years and as it approaches may be experiencing a heady mix of excitement, anticipation, stress and nerves.
Let me help relieve some of that pressure with an unforgettable ceremony tailor made just for you.
I offer A personalised love story.
Whether you are looking for a traditional ceremony or want to mix things up with something completely different, I offer a personalised service that is as beautiful, funny and emotional as your own one-of-a-kind love story.
Want to include a hand fasting, sand ceremony or gin tasting ceremony? No problem. Or why not make up your own ritual? How about a sing-along or getting your guests up for a dance? Want to say I do in your back garden? Why not!
After all, this is a celebrant led ceremony. The only limits are our imaginations.
I can hold your hand throughout making suggestions for readings, rituals and little touches that make your ceremony stand out from the crowd.
Then just sit back, relax and let me create something magical for you.
I'm more than just a celebrant
I love meeting new people, getting to know them and listening to their stories. I won’t just be your celebrant – I can become your friend and confidante as you negotiate this exciting but sometimes stressful rollercoaster of a journey leading up to the big day.
If either of you has children, I can suggest ways to include them in the ceremony so that they really feel a part of it.
Warm, relaxed and friendly with meticulous attention to detail my aim is to put you at ease, confident in the knowledge that your big day will go to plan so that you can have the BEST DAY ever.

Kind Words
"It was such an amazing day and we wish we could do it all again! I’m so glad we had you to do our ceremony. You made it perfect with the way you created and perfectly delivered a beautiful script that put the personalised touch on our wedding we had been searching for. We can recommend Jo if you are looking for something that speaks from the heart, that you can shape and Jo can excellently articulate to give you and your guests a ceremony to remember."

“Brilliantly done Jo. Honestly, you’ve got what it takes to write beautiful scripts. I felt you crafted the ceremony beautifully with personal touches and a beautiful paragraph at the end describing the blending of individuals. I love the humour and light-hearted touches - great reference to Rowan Atkinson!! I LOVED your tongue in cheek nod to My Fair Lady in your housekeeping notes - a fun way to make a point!!" Also, well done for weaving together the ring warming together with a singalong. The handfasting at the end was artfully crafted too.
This script has the right balance of humour and light-hearted touches together with the more formal and romantic bits!"

Excellent service
"We contacted Jo after we booked our ceremony for in only 4 short months time, she was very professional and always quick and super helpful with responses. She was very flexible with payment option which really helped us. On the day of ceremony Jo presented herself very professionally and wrote a beautiful script with lots of personal touches for us as a couple. We had lots of compliments from guests on what a beautiful service it was. Would definitely recommend Jo to anyone who is thinking of having a celebrant led wedding."

Calm and professional
"Joanne was amazing she really took the time to get to know us as a couple, my husband needed some help with his vows so Jo had a separate call with him and managed to use everything he said to create the most moving personal vows. I wanted a hand fasting to get our girls involved and it was a lovely way to end a beautiful service, the knot was tied with perfection even tho I was a little worried my cords were too short. Jo was so helpful and supportive from the first conversation and was so calm and professional on the day, Jo was warm and welcoming to all our guests and really helped make our day perfect and we cannot thank her enough!"

Best decision, felt part of our story
"Jo was an absolute dream on the day, the day before and all the days before that helping us get ready. She was warm, genuine and really interested in us which is what we loved about her from the start. It didn't feel like she was just doing a job, she felt part of our story. Jo created a chat to talk to us both, met us for coffee to go through the script and was always attentive and helpful. Particularly when we needed extra help with choosing handfasting cords and checking our vows. She even recommended us having our dogs play a part at the wedding, and afterwards, it was our favourite part. Her replies, even when on holiday were fast which eased our stress. Jo even helped set up our decor when she came for a rehearsal, was super flexible when we wanted different things and was brilliant with all our friends and family. We've had so many compliments on how well she delivered our ceremony and how thoughtful the script was. Considering at the start of wedding planning, the ceremony was our least interested part, it was incredible. We're so so thankful we found Jo and grateful we have our own celebrant for all that comes in the future. Best decision we made for the wedding having Jo, so stop researching and just get her booked in. Trust me, if you want laughter, happy tears and all the love!"
