**About Jo Murphy – JAM Weddings** Hi, I’m Jo Murphy, the heart and soul behind **JAM Weddings**, where I create personalised, memorable ceremonies filled with love, joy, and *you*. I believe every couple has a unique story, and your wedding ceremony should celebrate that in a way that feels right. Whether your dream day is romantic and traditional, light-hearted and fun, or something totally unexpected, my job is to craft a ceremony that reflects your journey together and leaves you and your guests smiling long after the “I do’s.” ### **Why I Became a Celebrant** My journey as a wedding celebrant began with a moment close to my heart—officiating my best friend’s wedding. Standing beside them, sharing their story, and witnessing the joy that filled the air was truly unforgettable. It was then that I realised how powerful a heartfelt ceremony can be—not just for the couple but for everyone sharing the moment. From that day, I knew I wanted to help more couples experience that magic. That passion led me to start **JAM Weddings**, where every ceremony I create is filled with care, creativity, and a touch of joy. ### **My Approach to Your Ceremony** At **JAM Weddings**, I believe that the most meaningful ceremonies are those that feel like *you*. That’s why I start by getting to know you—how you met, your favourite memories, and your hopes for the future. I’ll listen to your vision and help you shape a ceremony that’s uniquely yours. Whether you want something short and sweet or full of laughter and storytelling, I’ll guide you through every step, from crafting your vows to making sure your guests are fully engaged in your love story. When you choose me as your celebrant, you’re not just getting someone to lead your ceremony—you’re getting a storyteller, a cheerleader, and a calming presence to help you enjoy every moment. ### **What Sets JAM Weddings Apart** – **Personal and Authentic:** Your love story deserves more than a template. I write every ceremony from scratch to reflect who *you* are as a couple. – **Warm and Supportive:** I make the process easy and enjoyable, supporting you from our first meeting to your walk down the aisle. – **Experienced and Professional:** From large weddings to intimate elopements, I bring experience and a polished, professional approach to your big day. – **Inclusive and Open-Minded:** Love is love, and I proudly celebrate couples of all backgrounds, cultures, and identities. ### **Ceremonies Offered by JAM Weddings** – **Weddings:** From classic to modern, heartfelt to humorous—I’ll help you create a wedding ceremony that feels *just right*. – **Elopements:** Intimate, beautiful ceremonies for couples who want to celebrate their love in their own unique way. – **Vow Renewals:** Celebrate your journey and reaffirm your love with a ceremony that honours your shared experiences. – **Commitment Ceremonies:** A meaningful way to honour your bond without the formalities of a legal ceremony. ### **Why Choose JAM Weddings?** I know that choosing a celebrant is a deeply personal decision. You’re looking for someone who understands your love story and can bring it to life with warmth, heart, and a bit of flair. At **JAM Weddings**, I bring my passion for storytelling, my commitment to creating personalised experiences, and my joy in celebrating love in all its forms. I’ll be with you every step of the way—helping with your vows, calming your nerves, and ensuring your ceremony feels *exactly* how you’ve always imagined it. ### **A Bit About Me** When I’m not celebrating love with my couples, you’ll find me enjoying life’s simple joys—like reading a great book (I’m a Stephen King fan, and *11/22/63* is my all-time favourite), indulging in gyoza or a good chicken wrap, or spending quality time with my family and our beloved pets. I know that life’s most special moments are made of love, connection, and a touch of magic—values I bring into every ceremony I create. ### **Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together** Your wedding ceremony is the heart of your day—the part you’ll remember long after the cake has been eaten and the dance floor has cleared. At **JAM Weddings**, I’m here to make that moment unforgettable. Whether you’re planning something grand or intimate, formal or fun, I’ll help you create a ceremony that’s deeply personal, filled with love, and uniquely *you*. Let’s start with a chat!
