FUN, RANDOM, ENGAGING SCRIPTS Hi I'm Jo a Civil Marriage Celebrant from Wollombi NSW.

How WEDDINGS have changed over the time......
Written by Jo Potter

In days past, the idea of incorporating humour into a marriage ceremony was considered a sacrilege. Most weddings were held in a church or the registry office- neither of which is generally considered a place of fun. The closest thing to humour might have been nana, not realising she had her beautiful skirt hitched up into her und

ies or toilet paper stuck to uncle fred's shoe, or a stifled giggle by the cousins as Uncle Harry dozed off in the back pew. Weddings were more about ritual than celebration and there was no tolerance for silliness. Marriage was serious business. Thank heavens those days are past and couples now have the option to customise every facet of their ceremony to reflect their personalities. And since most of us thrive on humour, theres no reason to leave it out of the ceremony. So infusing your ceremony with some lightness and playfulness that will leave you the couple relaxed and your guests energised and conclude with you feeling "WOW"! That was really us"

Thats what Ceremonies by Jo is all about.

HIKING ELOPEMENTS

Boots on. Heels in hand..Hearts open. Vows with a view. 🥾💍

Introducing my latest obsession: Hiking Elopements.
Because some love stories aren’t made for ballrooms — they’re made for mountains.

These ceremonies are for couples who want connection over perfection.
We'll hike into the wild, to beautiful places across the Blue Mountains, Barrington Tops, Tasmania and more — and say “I do” where the world feels big and your love feels even bigger.

Whether it’s a short sunrise stroll or a longer alpine trail, we tailor the whole day to your rhythm.
It’s raw. It’s real. It’s ridiculously romantic.

And yes — you can wear your boots with your wedding dress or change into your heels.

HELI Drop ELOPEMENTS

🚁 Wild hearts, high altitudes.
Let me introduce you to Heli Elopements — where love takes flight (literally).

In collaboration with the crew, we take you by helicopter to a remote rock shelf in the stunning Hunter Valley, far from the crowds and deep in the wilderness.
No one else around. No distractions. Just you, your person, the wind, and the wide open sky.

It’s bold. It’s breathtaking.
And it’s one hell of a way to start forever.

You don’t need to hike, plan, or stress. We’ve got everything covered — flights, weather plans, locations, timing, and all the little details that make your elopement feel grounded, intentional and unforgettable.

Just bring your love and let us handle the lift-off.

INTRODUCING ADVENTURE ELOPEMENTS

Let me take you somewhere wild 💫

When I started Ceremonies by Jo, I knew I wanted more than just weddings—I wanted experiences. The kind that stay with you long after the flowers fade and the cake’s been cut.

Teaming up with the crew has been the most incredible ride (sometimes literally 🚁).

Together, we’ve created next-level, off-the-beaten-track wedding days—from heli-drops onto remote rock shelves in the Hunter Valley, to hiking elopements in the Blue Mountains, Barrington Tops, and Tasmania, where you earn your vows one step at a time.

These are not your average weddings.
They’re raw, real, wildly romantic.
Just you, nature, your love… and me (your grounded, good-vibes celebrant 🧡).
2 witnesses and a photographer.

And this is just the beginning...

Follow along as I share more about our locations, how it all works, and the magic that happens when you let go of the rules and say I do your way.

Laughter is the best!! What were we laughing at Melissa Groen ??

Her joy is as natural as the breath of wind.

Up here, emotions are deep and free.

There's a reason couples choose the wild…
There’s a wild, untamed force that thrives on this endless space.

Where cliffs touch the sky and love knows no bounds.

Where will your heart take you?
