Kind Words
a few tender words from people whose life moments I’ve been honoured to share

We had the absolute pleasure of having Jo Pierce as our celebrant, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better! From the very first meeting, Jo was just incredible to deal with — real, humble, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She made the entire process so easy and stress-free for us.
Jo was always organised, positive, and supportive every step of the way. She took the time to really get to know us and made sure our ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and full of joy. Our wedding was an English/Spanish celebration, and Jo went above and beyond to make everyone feel included. She even learned and used a few Spanish words during the ceremony, which meant so much to us and our families. That thoughtful touch showed how open, caring, and adaptable she is — it made the moment even more special. Jo, you truly made our day unforgettable. Your warmth, authenticity, and professionalism are unmatched. We cannot recommend you highly enough — you’re simply the best! Thank you for being such an important part of our story.

Jo provided an exceptionally respectful service for our mother this August. Jo heard, collated and respectfully acknowledged the experiences of our entire family to provide a respectful representation of our mother’s life. Jo has been attuned to the varied and dynamic experiences of grief and loss, providing a genuine celebration of Mum’s story. I would highly recommend Jo as a celebrant for end-of-life services as she was generous with her time, mindful of her delivery and responsive to our family’s needs, even so far as to select her wardrobe in Mum's favourite colours.

Jo was a celebrant for my mum’s Celebration of Life. She spent time with us to really get to know mum and ensure she honoured her in the best possible way. She checked out the venue prior to the service and was early on the day. Jo was exceptionally professional, sensitive, and respectful. Her words about mum were beautiful, and her delivery was exquisite. She even sang "What a Wonderful World." I highly recommend her.

Wonderful Jo, we would like to thank you so much for being our celebrant at our wedding ceremony! Thank you for guiding us in creating a ceremony that truly represented us as people and as a couple. It was such a moving ceremony for us, our family, and close friends.
Your presence and your words were loving, charming, and fun—just the perfect balance we hoped for to set the tone for our special day. We really appreciated having you as our celebrant; you will forever be close to our hearts.

Where do I even begin? I’m so happy we found Jo. Straight from the start, she was so caring and such a lovely person to converse ideas with. I had a pagan wedding with some old-fashioned rituals, such as washing of the hands with salt water, hand fasting, warming of the rings, and we drank honey mead. She went above and beyond with all of my wishes, even researching all the different ways to perform the ceremonies for me. She made everything special and so much fun! I highly recommend her for any type of wedding ceremony. We love you, Jo! XO

We loved having Jo as our celebrant because she made it so comfortable, so easy, and walked us through everything. But the best thing was being able to turn what we talked about into a reality, and what she came up with was definitely better than what we expected and what we were even thinking of—especially the script; that was absolutely amazing.
Vivianne E – June 2025 – 5 stars
Jo was the celebrant for my son’s wedding held at our home in Bellingen. They chose to have a Fairy-themed wedding, and Jo did an amazing job making sure the bride and groom realised their dream. Jo made everyone feel at ease on the day as well and even dressed for the Fairy theme. I would recommend Jo to anyone, knowing she will deliver beyond expectations.
Chloe M – May 2025 – 5 stars
Jo was a delight and very accommodating to us, as we did not live locally. Jo delivered the perfect wedding for us by incorporating just the right amount of humour into our ceremony. All our guests commented on what a fun ceremony it was. The whole process was stress-free. I would definitely recommend Jo :)))
Shanti U – April 2025 – 5 stars
From the very first meeting, we felt comfortable with Jo. She is lovely, helpful, professional, warm, and ready to help at every turn. Jo was the perfect person to marry us and make our special day on the beach magical. We recommend Jo for every type of wedding or ceremony!
