About Celebrations By Jo
Jo, the celebrant behind Celebrations By Jo, describes herself as a Barossa wedding celebrant and has stood in front of more than 150 couples. Before anything is written, each of you answers a short private questionnaire, and those answers become a ceremony that reflects how you met and what you share, whether you marry among the vines, in a garden or at a quiet signing. The legal steps are hers to manage. Jo completes and files the notice of marriage well ahead of the date, meets with you for the consent the law asks for, brings the declaration and certificates for signing, and sends them in electronically once the ceremony ends. Her signature ceremony costs $1,100 and includes as many catch-ups and messages as you need, help shaping your vows, a rehearsal, printed vow booklets, a keepsake script and a sound system for your songs, with any number of guests. An elopement is $850 from Monday to Thursday or $900 from Friday to Sunday, and a signing with only the two of you and two witnesses is $550. Couples who would like a friend or relative to officiate can have Jo work beside them to meet the legal requirements, with that option quoted on request. You can meet her first over the phone, on a video call or at her home office, and a deposit then holds your date. Travel costs can apply depending on where the wedding is.

What does Celebrations By Jo charge for a Barossa wedding?
Her signature ceremony is $1,100. Elopements cost $850 from Monday to Thursday or $900 from Friday to Sunday, and a signing with just two witnesses is $550. Travel can be extra.
Will Jo take care of the marriage paperwork?
Yes. She files the notice of marriage, meets you for the required consent, has the certificates ready on the day and lodges them electronically once you are married.

Yes. A friend or relative can lead the ceremony while Jo stands alongside to cover the legal side and prepare the documents. That option is quoted on request.
Do the ceremonies have a guest limit?
The signature and elopement ceremonies have no guest limit. The legal signing option is just for the couple and their two witnesses.
Do we need separate sound equipment for the ceremony?
No. Jo brings a sound system for your music and recommends picking four songs: one to walk in to, two for the signing and one to leave on.
