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!
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 💕

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 our celebrant at our June 1st wedding a few weeks ago. From very first contact with Jo, I knew she was the right choice for us. She explained our options for the ceremony and was so friendly and helpful throughout.
On the day, our ceremony was amazing! She managed to capture us in our 'Love Story', it definitely made it more special and personal.
So many people have mentioned how lovely the ceremony was!
We would highly recommend Jo for any couples on their wedding day.

My wife and I, got married in Clonabreany House, Co. Meath in May and we can’t thank Jo enough for making our wedding an unforgettable experience. Jo’s passion and dedication shone through as we had a beautiful ceremony filled with love, laughter and celebration. Jo helped us create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Our guests spoke so highly of our loving & fun filled ceremony and the comedic timing, that oozed so naturally from Jo, as she told “our story” to the congregation was nothing short of genius. We can’t thank Jo enough for all the support, understanding & guidance during the build up to our big day. Thank you Jo, for being such an integral part of our wedding.

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.

Well what can I say about Jo. We got married on 3rd June 2023 in Ashdown Hotel, Gorey. From day one Jo guided us through the whole process. She made our wedding service all about myself and Declan and our love story. We had to write our love story and not show each other what we had written until Jo read them out during the ceromony. She brought fun and entertainment to our service. Our favourite part of the ceromony was definitely the hand tie fasting. A lot of our friends and families had never been to a civil ceromony before and said it was a beautiful ceromony made all the more special by Jo. She made everyone feel relaxed all guests thoroughly enjoyed the ceromony.
I would highly recommend Jo She made the whole process so simple and meant we could enjoy it from day 1.

Jo was absolutely amazing. She made the whole process seamless. She walked us through the ceremony in detail before the day and she took plenty of time to get to know us, our story and our family and friends. She also advised us on getting the very important green folder!
On the day, she arrived in plenty of time, set up, and had time to talk to all the relevant people. She took us through the ceremony and had the guests involved in the hand tying ceremony, after which everyone complemented.
We would highly recommend Jo to anyone getting married. Annie & David x

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!

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.
Response from Jo McAteer Celebrant & Registered Solemniser
Being part of you day was a huge pleasure and privilege. I so enjoyed every moment and my biggest pleasure is how much you and you guests really enjoyed the ceremony. That's what' it's all about. Xxxx. Wishing you guys all the best in married life xxx
