LoveJoWeddings - Celebrant & Registered Solemniser

Jo was so easy to deal with from start to finish. We wanted a really simple, family based wedding that meant something to us both and incorporated our children. We also had many things we didn’t want. Jo accommodated everything and guided us through the whole process and gave great suggestions of additional things we could add in. Everyone who attended commented on how great the ceremony part of our day was, and I would recommend Jo to anyone. Thank you for everything, we had one of the best days of our lives ❤️

Jo was an absolute dream to work with - we feel very lucky to have had Jo as our celebrant for our wedding. From start to finish, Jo brought professionalism, warmth, and a genuine passion for making our day special. Her calm and organised approach made the entire process so easy, and she was always available to answer questions or provide support. If you pick Jo as your celebrant you don't need to worry at all about your ceremony - she will make sure it's perfect. We had a lot of compliments about her from our guests. She is truly amazing!

Thank you so much again Jo for making our wedding ceremony so perfect and unforgettable- Charley and Ricky xxx

Jo was amazing! She laid out such a great ceremony. And included everything my husband and I asked for.
A lot of our guests commented on how ‘us’ it was.

Celebrated our wedding with Jo in Ravenport Resort. The ceremony was absolutely amazing and so enjoyable. Jo brought our wedding dreams together by hearing what we wanted and brought everything that we asked for and more to the ceremony which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. All the guests were signing Jo's praises. The ceremony was so relaxed, fun and meaningful - it was just what we wanted. Thank you so much Jo.

We had the most amazing wedding ceremony thanks to Jo. From the first phone call to Jo she was just so easy to talk to. Jo put us both at ease before the ceremony and she came outside to meet me before the ceremony and relaxed me. The ceremony was so personal was so lovely and we had some great laughs. A lot of people said it was one of the best ceremonies they were at and have to agree. Thank you so much Jo for getting our day off to a great start. Would recommended Jo to everyone thanks Caroline and Kevin

Five stars!!
We booked Jo for our wedding, and we’re so incredibly glad we did! She was recommended to us by someone local, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our special day.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how personal and fun our ceremony was. Jo took the time to connect with us multiple times before the wedding, really making the effort to get to know us as a couple. She understood how much we value laughter and joy, and she brought those elements into our ceremony in the most meaningful and tasteful way.

One of the things we loved most was how seamlessly Jo included so many of our guests in the ceremony without it feeling overwhelming. The ring warming ceremony, in particular, was a standout moment that many of our guests had never experienced before. It made everyone feel deeply connected to our celebration, and it was so special knowing that each person had a chance to bless our rings before we wore them.

If you’re considering Jo for your wedding, don’t hesitate—book her as soon as you can! She’s not only an incredible celebrant but also a genuinely lovely person who instinctively understands how to create the perfect atmosphere for every special moment.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Jo as our wedding celebrant, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we booked her, she was fantastic – incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and always ensuring we knew exactly what to expect. Her guidance made the planning seamless and stress-free.

The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for and more. Jo took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a beautiful, personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our journey together. Her warm, genuine personality shone through, and she added the perfect touch of humor that had everyone smiling and laughing along with us.

We received so many compliments from our guests about how heartfelt and engaging the ceremony was, and that's all thanks to Jo's talent and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will make your wedding day truly special, we wholeheartedly recommend Jo. She is absolutely amazing at what she does!

I could not recommend Jo enough, she did such a wonderful job on our wedding ceremony. Everyone commented on how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. You could tell Jo had worked hard to make the ceremony so special! Even helping the groom keep his cool and me find the right hand for the wedding ring!!

You will not regret booking Jo for your ceremony she is great to work with!

Jo was absolutely incredible from the moment we reached out to her. Just six weeks before our wedding, we found ourselves in a difficult situation after being double-booked. Jo stepped in without hesitation, graciously agreeing to be our celebrant on such short notice.
Despite the limited time, we built a wonderful connection with Jo—a true testament to her warmth, professionalism, and reassuring presence. She kept us informed every step of the way and made us feel completely at ease on our big day.
Having Jo as our celebrant was an absolute honor. We feel truly blessed to have found her and beyond grateful for the way she went above and beyond to make our wedding so special. Jo’s genuine care for her couples shines through in every aspect of the ceremony, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant

I cannot express enough that in booking Jo you will not be disappointed! Jo is amazing at her job. She told our story so beautifully with some fun added in. We first saw Jo at a friends wedding and knew she was the one for us. A lot of our guests had never been to civil ceremony and Jo was a big talking point after the ceremony our guests were so impressed with her as were we. We cannot recommend Jo enough for your wedding celebrations you will not be disappointed.

We were lucky to have Jo as our wedding celebrant and couldn't recommend her highly enough. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and by doing so, she put together a really special ceremony that was personal to us and made us feel so special on the day. The time that Jo took to create a warm, fun and loving ceremony ensured it was the highlight of our day and something we will remember forever.
Thank you Jo!

Jo did a fantastic job on our ceremony. She tailored it to our liking which included lots of music, our cat as ring bearer and a few different rituals. She conveyed our love story beautifully and it was very a personal ceremony. It was very unique and we, along with all of our guests, loved it. I would highly recommend Jo.

Where to start when it come to Jo she is just amazing at what she does from every email to the day itself. She made our ceremony so personal to us and light hearted and I couldn’t recommend her enough our guests complimented how amazing she is and how the personal stories about each of us that she shared with such love was beyond anything I was expecting. If you have her booked already your in for a real treat and if not you should you won’t be disappointed it’s a ceremony like no other ✨ Jo is so lovely and down to earth and sets the tone perfectly for the day 🤍 we couldn’t of been any happier to become husband and wife with her as our celebrant 💕

We were really happy to have Jo as our wedding celebrant. She had such a relaxed and easygoing approach, which made the whole process stress-free. From the start, she was helpful, approachable, and always willing to offer advice when we needed it.

She guided us through everything, making sure we were comfortable with the ceremony and even giving us ideas to make it more personal. On the day, she kept things running smoothly and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a celebrant who is professional yet down-to-earth, we’d definitely recommend Jo. She made the experience enjoyable and straightforward, and we really appreciated her support.

Jo was amazing! Our first call together we were chatting away for over an hour, it was like catching up with an old friend and I knew she was the perfect celebrant for us!

She made everything super easy and simple for us to understand, there was no pressure and she really took the time to get to know us as a couple. Jo made the ceremony so special with a fun and light hearted feel so we could easily relax. She also always looks so fab and sounds great for those wedding videos! She had already performed lots of weddings at our venue and with our musicians so we knew we could leave everything in her hands to coordinate and everything went very smoothly. We highly recommend Jo.

Thank you so much for marrying us and making our day so special!!

Jo married us on June 4th 2024. I have known Jo for a few years now since first moving to Gorey. My parents used to stay in her wonderful B&B before myself and Tom had brought our house.
She was always an absolute pleasure and would do anything for anybody!
When we got to planning our wedding, I knew from the get go that Jo was the person I wanted to have perform our ceremony.
She was so thorough at finding out exactly what we wanted, and we ended up with the most perfect wedding ceremony. All of our guests were commenting on how nice it was.
Jo, of course, brought humor to our nuptials, which we were so relieved about, because it totally took all the stress away. The ceremony was relaxed, full of love, and laughter.
She worked great with everyone involved, from our co ordinator, to our singer, to make sure absolutely everything ran smoothly.
We cannot recommend Jo enough. If anything, she is one of the nicest people I have met since moving to Ireland. She is so professional, and would be sure to make any wedding an unforgettable one. Thank you so much for playing such an important role in our special day. *****

Jo was absolutely the perfect choice for us from the very first phonecall .Her exceptional knowledge,experience,and support on everything from paperwork to content,where to start,how to start ,what we need etc and her positive and caring personality made sure we had so many choices and options in our ceremony and guided us both all along the way .Jo was so much more than a celebrant ,she was part of our wedding family making sure all involved knew what to do and we could completely relax and enjoy our magical day in her safe hands.

We really recommend Jo! She really made our ceremony so special, she was laid back, funny and genuinely interested in us, we have seen some celebrants who juts go through the motions with little emotions but Jo was brilliant. She took her time, suggested so many things that we could do as part of the ceremony and we ended up using a few which made it so fun and enjoyable and really personal to us. She was fab!!

Jo very kindly stepped in to officiate our wedding at the last minute when our original celebrant had to cancel due to illness.

Jo took the reigns from the get go. She is so warm and approachable and nothing as an issue.

We held a beautiful Ceremony in Darver Castle - even with bulging discs!! she powered though and made our day so special.
It was a beautiful ceremony and everyone commented on how relaxed and enjoyable it was.

Jo was absolutely amazing, a true professional.
Everyone commented on how lovely our ceremony was.
Thank you so much Jo for making our day so special.

Myself and my wife could not recommend Jo more, she was absolutely amazing and the ceremony was perfect from start to finish. All our guests commented on the ceremony. We are so thankful.

My wife Jo and I were married by Jo McAteer on 17th June 2022 in a small intimate ceremony in The Gaslamp Gallery, Gorey.
Our first meeting with Jo McAteer was at her home and we instantly clicked with her, finding her to be a very warm, caring and engaging person . She listened to how we wanted the format of our ceremony to be and suggested various options regarding prayers and readings.
During the run-up to the Wedding, Jo was always only a phone call away and when our big day arrived, Jo delighted us with the most personal and touching ceremony that we could have wished for.
We feel blessed to have had Jo McAteer as our Celebrant and making our Wedding Day so special, she put everyone at ease and her professionalism and attention to detail is hugely impressive.
Our fondest regards to Rev Jo McAteer ♥️

We really couldn't have asked for a better celebrant than Jo. The guests never stopped talking about her for weeks after the wedding.
Jo is so professional at what she does but always knew what to say to keep us calm on our big day. The main comment was how personal and romantic the ceremony was, totally different to any other wedding they had ever experienced.
We would highly recommend Jo who will definitely help to make your big day even more special!
Lina & James

Jo is fabulous!! She tailor made our ceremony to suit us perfectly and we had so many comments from guests on how entertaining and personal it was! She is the most lovely person and great to deal with! Very highly recommended!

Jo was just fantastic. The ceremony was everything we wanted and more. Conducting the wedding outside brought it's own unique challenges but Jo took them all in her stride. We had many compliments from our guests about how interesting and personal it was. I really couldn't have been happier.
