Why Work With Jo

 A celebrant you can recommend with confidence

When you introduce a celebrant to a family, you're putting your own reputation on the line. I understand that, and I take it seriously.

I turn up on time, every time. I'm fully prepared before I ever meet the family. And I bring a warm, calm, professional manner to every service, so you can hand over with total confidence that the family is in safe hands.

Trained to a high standard

I trained with Terri Nugent (née Shanks) at the Funeral Celebrant Training college, the UK's longest-established training provider for independent celebrants. Terri built a successful celebrancy business across East and West Sussex, conducting funerals, weddings, civil partnership blessings, and baby naming ceremonies, before going on to train the next generation of celebrants herself.

More than just the service

I can also take care of the wake, which sets me aside from other celebrants. I can suggest venues, arrange catering, and attend on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly, whatever is needed by the family to make life that little bit easier for them. 

This means one less thing for the family to manage, and one more reason for them to remember working with you fondly.

Easy to work with

Clear communication throughout. Prompt responses. No surprises on the day. If you'd like to discuss how I can support your families, I'd love to hear from you.
