I have lived in Cairns since 1980. The first marriage I performed was as a clerk of the court at the Cairns Magistrates Court in 2001. I love being able to provide a modern and personal service to my clients As a local resident I am familiar with so many beautiful ceremony locations. The options in The Cairns Region are almost endless and include beautiful beaches, tropical islands, pristine rivers, magical tropical gardens and many 5 star resorts. Palm Cove, Kewarra Beach, Port Douglas, Atherton, Kuranda, Mareeba and the Atherton Tablelands are just a few of the places that I travel to. Getting to remote locations down dirt roads or sand cays on The Great Barrier Reef via quick helicopter ride is all in a days work when you live in this amazing part of the world. My goal is to make it “your day your way” I will help you put all of your dreams and ideas together to create a ceremony that represents you and makes your guests feel welcome and included. I love to include special people in the ceremony whether they are your children, pets, parents, siblings or friends, these are the people that have shared in your life and will be there for you in the future.

In a Chapel or on a beach, in a garden or anywhere you wish to make your special dreams come true. It is important to have a style of Ceremony which reflects your ideals and philosophies, cultural beliefs and hopes for the future. You can design your own personalized vows that will suit your particular dreams. Your Ceremony can be as individual and unique as you both are. Together, we can create the Ceremony of your dreams; from a simple Ceremony to a more Traditional one, filled with surprises. My Commitment is to develop and deliver a Ceremony that is right for you.

This happy, relaxed marriage celebrant welcomes you to her Tropical Paradise office here in Far Norths magnificent locations of Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas and the Tablelands. I'm Jo and have been a fulltime marriage celebrant for over 17 years. Having married over 1000 couples I'm all about making the process as simple and easy for you both so that you can focus on other important details, and I say this without ego, I should know what I'm doing by now. A registered celebrant only has three small things by law that they comply with; the rest is what you want, not what I want. I will work with you to create a ceremony that truly reflects and captures the essence of your commitment, whether it be a large wedding, elopement or vow renewal. Having a celebrant you connect with creates a memorable ceremony, and that flows into your reception. How wonderful you both and your guests to have a happy and joyful day from beginning to end. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have regarding your special wedding day. Congratulations and happy planning!

am a full time Cairns Celebrant and I specialise in ceremonies in Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas, but I also travel all over Tropical North Queensland – we call it Paradise! I offer you a professional and personalised ceremony – warm and caring and reflecting YOUR personalities and using my expertise to make sure you have a memorable Wedding. There are endless choices for wedding venues in the Cairns area – you can marry at sunset on a beach or maybe in the rainforest; in a hot air balloon at sunrise; in an elegant private house or in a chapel overlooking the ocean or even in your own backyard. Whether there are only the two of you or you have 100 guests – I am available any day, any time, any place – 7 days each week and you will have my undivided attention. Once I have received a booking from you, I confirm your date, time and venue, and I provide you with a good selection of wedding ceremonies to choose from, plus further examples of wording for your vows and ring exchange. There are some optional rituals you can incorporate and you can include special poems and readings. You can include members of your bridal party or family and friends and you can make special mention of anyone who is unable to be there, for whatever reason. You can use your favourite music if you wish or maybe have a string quartet – the choice is YOURS. On the day I give you a Presentation Certificate, and I can provide a rehearsal if you need one – in the Cairns and Northern Beaches areas, and unlimited contact via email and telephone – ensuring your wedding will be memorable for you and your guests. I include a PA System if you need one and a table and 2 chairs for the signing of your Certificates.
