“From our first zoom meeting we knew she was the best celebrant for us! Jo was so easy to talk to and so on top of everything!!

She made the whole process so seamless and handled all of the paperwork.

We wanted our ceremony to be light-hearted with some laughs, but also meaningful and heartfelt, and Jo absolutely delivered on this!!!

The way she captured our story so perfectly was amazing. We had so many guests compliment on how personal and how 'us' our ceremony was.

We honestly could not recommend Jo enough!”

- Tessa & Mitch

“From the minute we meet Jo my fussy (husband) was so happy and relaxed with her, and we knew right away she was the right fit.

Jo definitely understood the assignment and made all of our wishes come true and then some. She understood that we wanted to involve our kids (all 6 of them) and managed to make it work.

It was the best day and we have had so many compliments on our ceremony and how the guests had never been to a ceremony like ours before. It was absolutely one that everyone will remember.

Do yourselves a favour and have Jo marry you, she’s a celebrant you won’t regret xx”

- Maddi & Jida

Our experience with Jo was 15/10, we cannot recommend her enough! All the way from getting a quote through to post-wedding updates, Jo has been outstanding through it all.

She managed to capture everything about us and make a ceremony and reception that we thought was perfect in every way. She had heartfelt moments with a dash of humour exactly when we wanted it, managed to wrangle a VERY big crowd and took all the pressure off us!

If you are looking for a Geelong Celebrant and/or MC for your wedding, please consider Jo, we promise you will be taken care of and will feel so much more relaxed about your big day!
