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 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.

Sarah and Mark, you guys were amazing and thank you! Your wedding was so much fun! Our paths have crossed so many times at your friends weddings and when it came to your big day I wont lie I felt that need to do better and I do think WE did just that ! It was great that you knew my ceremony style and you wanted that fun and light-banter with the heartfelt moments too.
Thank you both for all your hard work and the effort and commitment you made with your homework, the chats and calls because a good ceremony is team work. We laughed and cried, your friends and family were absolutely amazing !

Jo (and her wonderful wedding service) was easily the most talked about part of our special day. From our first interaction to our last, Jo showered us with care, understanding and quick wit - which always kept us laughing! I felt quite the novice when it came to wedding planning, but Jo talked my husband and I through every aspect of our service and made invaluable suggestions that have now become cherished memories of our celebration (the quaich cup and hand fasting traditions in particular). I genuinely believe no one could have delivered our service better, with Jo’s rendition of our love story lighting up the room with love, laughter and deep appreciation. Jo is one in a million and I’m so thrilled to have met her! Thank you, Jo! Love, Rachel and Mark xxx

It was a privilege - January weddings are so special and we had a lot of fun in the beautiful butler house in Kilkenny. It was great meeting all your friends and fun pinning those tricky buttonholes, but we got there. Your furry queen was beautiful and so well behaved.
Thank you for keeping in touch after - its been great and I will see you all soon

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.

The magic happened when we met in person during the ceremony planning - I then knew exactly what you both needed and hoe I should deliver your ceremony. You both wanted the romance but the messers in ye also wanted the fun so with all that mixed together the magic was created.
I think we all had a lot of fun on the day and the handfasting went down a treat with our 7 assistants. Thank you for trusting me as I know this was a big deal and a special day and Im thrilled I got to be a part of it

We honestly didn't know what we wanted before talking to Jo, all we knew was we wanted it to be quick (there was 13kids under 3 at the ceremony) and fuss free. She was able to read the room and made the ceremony suit the kids. Everybody was commenting on how amazing she was and how she made everyone feel relaxed and at ease. She portrayed our story so perfectly and found the words when we couldn't.
From start to finish, everything was easy and stress free, just how we wanted it! She kicked off our day so amazingly, we can't thank her enough. . !

Amy and Tony,
where to start - I was excited for your wedding from our initial chat, you were a dream in that you were so practical and focused on what was important but also making sure all the kids were catered for during the ceremony so the adults could also enjoy. Considering the number of kids they were incredibly well behaved and a joy to have in the room.
Tulfarris was a dream location and the ceremony space was perfect.
You really were a stunning bride and I am so happy you choose me to officiate for you on your special day

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

Awh what can I say about Jo. Jo will forever hold a soft spot in our hearts. When we first reached out to all the celebrants, Jo was the only celebrant to ring us and have a chat, we instantly connected with her and chatted for ages. Throughout the few months, Jo was checking in and helping us out with the registration process and getting us prepped for the big day. On the day of the wedding I invited Jo up to my room to have a glass of fizz which I feel really helped settle my nerves on the day.
The ceremony itself was so special and the amount of compliments we got about Jo was unreal. From the info we supplied Jo hit the nail on the head with our personal stories and really captured the moments. Our ceremony was light, fun and very very personal.
I think it's one thing you won't regret is booking Jo!

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

We had the loveliest day celebrating and it was amazing to meet your lovely sister again, your families and your gorgeous dog Maggie - now that Maggie has her wings Im so glad you got to have her as a special part of your ceremony.
Boyne hill was spectacular as always and getting to work with the gorgeous Katie Hughes and Podge was the icing on the cake.
Im looking forward to seeing the next chapter of your lives unfold and Im so excited for you xxx

The 3 degrees of separation was truly tested on your wonderful day and the coincidence of what happened in the universe that day was not lost on me. The honour was indeed mine to celebrate with you both and to see the wonderful love that you both share for each other and your family.

I loved that you did your homework before contacting me, you had done your research and watched my videos, so you knew exactly what you wanted and what we were doing. Having your lovely cat there on your day was really special and your Garfield was amazing and did a great job #lovepetsatweddings and the music was amazing ( you made excellent choices ).
It was very special being part of your day and I loved meeting your families who were so welcoming and kind. Its always a true honour when a couple choose me to be part of this very important part of the biggest day in their lives.
Thanks for the email update on your married life, delighted you get to spend more time together and talk soon again hopefully AND cant wait to see your finished new home :-)

Any questions I had she had the answer to and I wish I could do it all over again. Thank you a million times over Jo ✨️💓

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.

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. *****

Knowing you before and knowing your family over the years of them visiting you in Gorey made the privilege of being asked to be your celebrant on the day even more special. The excitement with your kids and families on the build up, the little wait we had for you to arrive Claire was all worth it - the looks you shared between you during the ceremony showed me I really do have the best seat in the house on a wedding day and I get to witness those special looks between you. Your kids were so amazing and so well behaved. The weather turned spectacular after the heavy showers we had all morning so we all really got to relax and enjoy the gardens in Bally beg as Doug Sheridan sang for us. Thank you for having me and for all your hard work in helping me prepare your ceremony

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.

You both are the definition of the word love and of the term soul mates - celebrating your vow renewal and sharing your personal journey and personal story was a massive highlight for me. You both bared your souls in that first meeting me had and you gave the a wonderful insight into the depth of the love you had for each other and the reason that that love was worth celebrating - vow renewals are special and all the more special because of the beautiful people involved. Thank you for finding and working with me - it was a real pleasure xx

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

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 ♥️

It was just so wonderful planning the wedding with you both, and Ill never forget Jo's mum coming to me after and saying how all weddings should be just like that :-)
It was a credit to all the hard work that you both put into helping create the ceremony and indeed all the hard work of Claire and all the team at the Gaslamp Gallery who pulled out all the stops.
I hope to catch up with you both soon and thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review
Love to you both

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!

Knowing you both personally was a fantastic start to our ceremony but it was getting your story and the things you loved and admired about each other that demonstrated what a special and wonderful and caring couple you are - you clearly look out for each other and care deeply for each other. That's special! And I know your both will never take it for granted. I loved our ceremony space at the Lord Bagnel and we had a fantastic warm spring day.
See you both soon

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.

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.
Genuinely blown away by your lovely words and Im so glad you enjoyed the experience of a personal ceremony...every couple are different and have different needs and I hope I managed to respect and reflect that throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed all our chats and every email and your families and friends were so much fun and a joy to work with and Im so glad we got to have the lovely Sharon from Seafield with us on the day. I will miss our chats but I know it wont be long till we see each other again as other guests at your wedding have booked my services so you can relive it all over again as a relaxed guest :-)
All my love and best wishes to you both and regards to your mum and dad...see you both soon xx and make sure to pop in :-)
