Don't stress
Hi bestie!
If we're going to be besties, you should call me Ellie!
I'm Founder, Celebrant, Head Planner, MC and all-around Creative Stylist behind Dream to Wed. I've been lucky enough to work in the wedding and events world for over a decade in both the UK and NZ—everything from large exhibitions, Diwali festivals, lively Pride events and of course divine elopements and weddings.
For the last nine years, I’ve been bringing magical weddings and events to life across Queenstown, Wanaka, and Central Otago and now I'm so excited to start planning stunning weddings and events in Christchurch and the Canterbury region!
I'm Ellita Marianne
