“We love Jo!”

“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, you won’t regret it xx”

“It's hard to put into words just how amazing Jo was as the celebrant for our wedding. She was so so amazing at how she captured the details of our story and relayed that into a beautiful ceremony.

We gave Jo the brief of having a relaxed, fun ceremony whilst still telling our love story and she absolutely delivered. She truly has a talent to tell love stories.We have had so many guests compliment us on just how great she was.

From the first meeting over facetime, to meeting in person, to then our big day, she was always so flexible, always offered a helping hand and we could tell that she truly wanted the best for our day.

She helped us both navigate the nerves prior to the ceremony and kept us relaxed and not to mention has made the whole paperwork side of things a breeze and takes care of it all!

We cannot recommend Jo enough! Incredible at what she does!”
