Joanne Clair Ceremonies is an independent wedding celebrant business based in Cheshire, creating relaxed, heartfelt ceremonies across Cheshire, Staffordshire, Merseyside and beyond.

The owner, Jo, works with down-to-earth couples who want something more personal than a standard script—those who value warmth, laughter, a few happy tears, and a ceremony that feels like them. Jo has a particular love for working with blended families, second-time-around love stories, and anyone who wants to break away from tradition and do things their own way.

Every ceremony Jo creates is written from scratch and shaped around the couple’s unique story. She takes time to get to know you, listens with genuine interest, and helps you feel completely at ease—whether you're writing your own vows or simply hoping to make the moment feel calm and meaningful.

Jo’s goal is simple: for you and your guests to feel relaxed, connected, and emotionally present. She wants your ceremony to be the part of the day people talk about—not because it was flashy, but because it was real. Full of heart, humour, and beautifully “you”.

A proud member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, the Celebrant Guild, and a recommended supplier with Red Event Wedding Fayres, Jo is known for her friendly, thoughtful and professional approach and ability to create ceremonies that live long in the memory.

Couples consistently describe her as warm, approachable, and someone who instantly puts them at ease.

If you're looking for a celebrant who’ll create a ceremony that’s personal, inclusive, and remembered for all the right reasons, Joanne Clair Ceremonies is a perfect choice.

Best decision, so stop researching and just get her booked in. Trust me, if you want laughter, happy tears and all t

Jo was an absolute dream on the day, the day before and all the days before that helping us get ready. She was warm, genuine and really interested in us which is what we loved about her from the start. It didn't feel like she was just doing a job, she felt part of our story. Jo created a chat to talk to us both, met us for coffee to go through the script and was always attentive and helpful. Particularly when we needed extra help with choosing handfasting cords and double checking our vows. She even recommended us having our dogs play a part at the wedding and afterwards, it was my favourite part. Her replies, even when on holiday were fast which eased our stress. Jo even helped set up our decor when she came for a rehearsal, was super flexible when I wanted different things and was brilliant with all our friends and family. We’ve had so many compliments on how well she delivered our ceremony and how thoughtful the script was. Considering at the start of wedding planning, the ceremony was our least interested part, it was incredible. We’re so so thankful we found Jo and grateful we have our own celebrant for all that comes in the future. Best decision we made for the wedding having Jo, so stop researching and just get her booked in. Trust me, if you want laughter, happy tears and all the love !!

Excellent service

We contacted Jo after we booked our ceremony for in only 4 short months time, she was very professional and always quick and super helpful with responses. She was very flexible with payment option which really helped us. On the day of ceremony Jo presented herself very professionally and wrote a beautiful script with lots of personal touches for us as a couple. We had lots of compliments from guests on what a beautiful service it was. Would definitely recommend Jo to anyone who is thinking of having a celebrant led wedding.

Made our special day even more special!

Jo was fantastic with our Naming Ceremony. On the run-up to the day she asked really pertinent questions and produced a draft service order for us to review - nothing was too much trouble and after a few minor amends (very few needed, as the 1st draft was excellent!) we had a meaningful, commemorative and personalised Ceremony planned.

On the day itself, Jo arrived early and was on-hand for any final questions/concerns before the Ceremony started. During the Ceremony Jo spoke with conviction and credibility, in a way that conveyed the key messages to our friends/family but also left room for a bit of fun and laughter (as we wanted during the event). She put all of the speakers at ease and coped effortlessly with the technical difficulties that occurred (which were not her fault!) plus the abundance of children causing distractions, which she was totally unfazed by.

Overall Jo did an excellent job and we have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone that needs a celebrant for their special day.

A day made perfect

We would like to thank Jo @ Joanne Clair ceremony for being our celebrant at our wedding on the 7th June 2024.
Jo made our ceremony perfect with the way she created and perfectly delivered a beautiful script that put the personalised touch on our wedding we had been searching for.
We would recommend Jo if you are looking for something that speaks from the heart, that you can shape and Jo can excellently articulate to give you and your guests a ceremony to remember
