Jo Taranto

The act

Warm interaction and light humour are what guests can expect when Jo Taranto guides the room through a wedding celebration. She offers Master of Ceremonies work, facilitation and presenting, allowing her role to be shaped around the occasion. Seven years in communications and journalism support her ability to make information clear while keeping the delivery engaging. Jo also co-hosts Channel 10's Planet Shapers and has extensive experience facilitating events and workshops nationally. This should suit a wedding that values collaborative planning and wants a professional host who can use humour without losing the room's warmth.

Good to know

What to expect

Jo Taranto works with you through the lead-up rather than turning up on the day with a script, and that collaboration is the part clients tend to mention. On the day itself: professional, warm with guests and with any special guests you've got in the room, and funny where humour actually fits rather than where it's been scheduled. She's done more than 300 workshops and events for over 200 different clients around the country, so the range of rooms she's stood in is wide. Sustainability and resilience are her subjects, and she comes at them from seven years in communications and journalism rather than from a lectern.

Performance options

Three jobs, depending on what your event needs. She'll take a keynote slot on sustainability and resilience. She'll host as master of ceremonies, keeping a day moving and handling the introductions. And she'll facilitate, which is the one to ask about if you want the room participating rather than listening. Presenting work sits in there too. Some events use more than one of those across a day. Say what shape yours takes when you enquire and she'll tell you which fits.
