“Jo created such an incredible, unique ceremony for us. We were so happy she played such a big part in our special day and she did us both proud. Everyone commented to us how personal the ceremony was and how much care and thought had gone into the words. Me and my husband got married at The National Space Centre and we were so happy that we had met Jo and she was able to take the space journey with us. Jo helped to create a unique, memorable, out of this world wedding that no one will ever forget.”
“Jo was our amazing celebrant. I was so nervous about using someone that I had never met, as to me, the Celebrant would be the main part of the wedding. I had no concerns after our 1st conversation. Jo is truly an amazing woman who we both fell completely in love with! She went over and above to make sure our day was perfect. Everybody had said they had never been to a wedding as personal as ours and we wouldn’t have managed it without her! I would recommend her to anyone that would listen!”
“Jo made us feel like ours was the only wedding she was planning the ceremony for. She was so happy, positive, helpful and smiley every time she met us. We felt so comfortable talking about everything with her and having her there on the day was so special. Her bespoke ceremony was so personal and had people in tears with both emotion and laughter. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else doing our wedding ceremony and I will recommend her to everyone!”
“There are no amount of positive words that would fully sum up how brilliantly Jo planned and conducted our celebrant service. From the second we spoke on the phone I knew that she would be very laid back and easy to get on with. The ceremony she wrote for us had everything from our own written vows to things that made the whole wedding party laugh. Using Jo enabled us to have a very personal ceremony and something that we will definitely remember for the rest or our lives.”
“It says it in the name, it truly was our perfect ceremony! Jo is such a kind wonderful person and her personality really shone through throughout the time ‘working’ with her ( it felt more like talking to a friend than working!). We had so many questions from friends and family about Jo because of her professionalism and presentation on the day. She managed to perfectly portray our relationship during the ceremony and delivered everything and more than we could have imagined. Thank you Jo!”
“Jo Clarke from My Perfect Ceremony was incredible. She absolutely made our day. Right from the beginning she got to know us to the point where we knew we had a friend who we could rely on. I can’t thank her enough. She is a caring, warm humble human being who deserved to be acknowledged for her great work.”
“Jo has found her calling in being a Celebrant! From the moment we spoke on the phone I knew she was the perfect person to write and conduct our ceremony and I was right. Jo’s words captured our feelings perfectly, she totally understood what we wanted (even more than we knew ourselves) and nothing was too much trouble. Jo is such a warm, calming and friendly person, she put us both at ease in the run-up and on the day itself. She’s fabulous!”
“Jo was really helpful, gave us lots of regarding our vows and ideas. Jo was so smiley & happy through out the whole experience and kept my husband calm while waiting for me. We did not have very good weather on the morning off our wedding, so last minute we moved all off our chairs into a tight marquee... Jo kept everything calm and kept everybody Spirits up... including mine! I could not recommend her enough!
”
“Thank you again - it really was the perfect ceremony! We had such brilliant feedback on how personal it was and how brilliant you were.
”
“Jo was an absolute delight to work with! She listened to our vision for the day, encouraging us at every stage-even during my “I’m writing my own poem phase” and made sure the ceremony flowed seamlessly with such beautiful words written by her. Nothing was too much trouble for Jo, complete professional from start to finish! We’ve had so many comments from family and friends saying how wonderfully calming and kind Jo was and we couldn’t agree more!

“Jo was a delight to work with! She was so cheerful, helpful and the way that she conducted our ceremony was a magnificent reflection of our relationship and was literally the PERFECT start to our married life together.
We knew that we wanted our ceremony to reflect us as a couple, to be fun but also to celebrate the love that we have for each other. When we met Jo at a wedding open event, we just knew that we wanted her to be a part of it! As we found out more about My Perfect Ceremony and the service they offer, it got better and better! Jo sent us all of the information we needed, but allowed full flexibility in the type of ceremony we wanted which meant that we were able to draw on her expertise but also bring our own ideas. Jo made time to come to the venue the day before and run through every detail.
She made us feel at ease (not easy when you’re standing in front of 100 people with a microphone, pouring your heart out!), and confident that we had made the right choice. By the time we got to the ceremony the next day, it was like having a friend with us. Jo also took some amazing photos (a celebrants-eye view!) which captured moments which would otherwise have been missed or forgotten. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.

“Jo was an absolute pleasure to work with, right from the start. She understood our vision of a non-religious but detailed, personal & special wedding ceremony and was able to deliver 110%! She was supportive of our ideas and was able to contribute helpfully to planning our ‘perfect ceremony.’ So many people who were at our wedding have since spoken to us about Jo and her professionalism, friendliness and lovely demeanour.

“We were introduce to Jo via our Wedding Planner, and as the name suggests it was a ‘Perfect Ceremony’
With Jo’s personal and professional unique touch, the ceremony was a ‘ Perfect ‘ start to an absolutely fabulous day.
Jo became part of the family and enjoyed the celebrations long into the night, if you are looking for that extra special touch then ‘My Perfect Ceremony’ is for you. ”

“My Perfect Ceremony were more than perfect at every step of our journey together. Both my wife and I can’t think of a negative thing to say about them. If we were to do this all over again we’d choose My Perfect Ceremony again in a heartbeat.”
“‘Having Jo as the celebrant at our wedding was like having an extra friend there. Jo is very warm and genuine, and makes you feel as though yours is the only wedding she has in her schedule.
Jo also did a ceremony for our daughters Elsie and Flora, we have an older daughter Isla who is no longer with us and Jo was very sensitive and helped us with suggestions to bring Isla into the ceremony.
From the first phone conversation we had Jo always had time and advice if we needed it, and we had the most perfect ceremonies with lots of laughter and amazing memories.”
“Jo was amazing at our wedding, she came with a huge smile, a huge heart and words that made us all laugh and cry.
I highly recommend Jo, if you choose her to officiate at your ceremony, you will remember her words and the ambiance for a very long time,
she’s wonderful!”

“Hi Jo. We just wanted to message you and thank you again for conducting our outdoor ceremony it was everything that we imagined if not better! Everyone has commented on how lovely it was.
Your help and guidance during the planning really helped us make the ceremony just perfect. We also loved that you left your wellies on at the groom’s request! Just one of the little things that made the day even better!”
“Jo is an angel, pure and simple. My wife and I will be forever grateful to her for bringing our dream ceremony to life. From the moment we met Jo, we knew she was the only person to marry us before our dearest friends and family. Our ceremony was so personal and our guests all commented on how heartfelt, sincere and unique it was to Lisa and I. As well as being incredibly warm, Jo is extraordinarily professional. Both her timeliness and her level of support exceeded all our expectations.
”
“How can we ever thank you, Jo?!? You made our ceremony so personal and so special and guided Lisa and I so beautifully in the weeks before.
With your help, we had the opportunity to express all the things that are important to us. Without question, you gave us our PERFECT ceremony.”
