Doing what I love, every day!

Where do I start? My now husband and I chose to have an intimate destination wedding with our closest loved ones. We both wanted to love our day and not have to suffer through the stress and anxiety of organising the most important day of our lives whilst living in another country. I found Ellie to take on the roles of Planner/Coordinator & Celebrant for our day, and she has been an absolute dream through the entire process. Talking Ellie through our vision, and having her offer vendors and options to us to achieve this vision was just easy for her. When I would think of something that made me stress, Ellie was on it so quickly! On the day, Ellie kept our ceremony light hearted and truly our quirky “us”. She kept the flow of the evening so that we didn’t have to worry. If I could recommend to anyone planning a wedding - get yourself an Ellie!!

We had our dream wedding in Sorrento Italy, and I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without Ellie from Dream to Wed! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible, not only did she handle all of the content creation beautifully, but she also helped us get ready and made sure the entire day went perfectly to plan. Her positive energy is contagious and every moment she captured felt so authentic and full of emotion, and now we have the most beautiful memories to look back on. If you’re getting married in Italy, I cannot recommend Ellie enough. She went above and beyond in every possible way, and truly made our Italian wedding feel like a fairytale. She literally just fits in like part of the family!

Ellie was our Celebrant and our MC for our Wedding day, and my God, did she deliver following our first impressions of her. Ellie beautifully crafted her sections of speech for both our ceremony and through the course of the night. She knew the Wedding Run Sheet back to front and she was poised so elegantly throughout the entire day and night. Honestly, we feel like not only that we chose the most amazing celebrant but we also made an amazing friend for life. We both fell in love with Ellie from the moment we met her and following her duties on the night, she felt like she was apart of the wedding and we welcomed her to stay and dance with us all night. We love you Ellie, and we know this is not the end of our story with you. We both need to be in your life, you are just so infectious. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your genuine sincerity, and honest charisma that shined so brightly throughout the whole day. We just simply feel blessed and honoured you shared this experience with us. Honestly so much love poured out of you on our special day and we can't write a big enough review for you. We love you deeply.

Thank you so much for all your help, on and leading up to our wedding day. We cannot thank you enough for your amazing services. Everything went perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We have had nothing but amazing feedback from our guests, some even saying it was the best wedding they have been to, so THANK YOU. You made me feel so at ease with the planning process and everything was thought about by yourself. Thank you for making it all possible.

Ellie is a wonderful Celebrant and a lovely person! She made our wedding day extra special with her attention and help, thank you Ellie for the best day of our lives!

My now wife has already added a review but I think Ellie needs 10stars! Everything was an absolute pleasure with Ellie from the planning, communication and proactive stress free dealings with her pre wedding - to the day of where she absolutely nailed our story she put together for the attendees, professional, involving, bubbly, her contribution to our day made us feel that much more special and memorable. Even down to her attire which was perfect for our style of wedding and photography and personally I’m not great with public speaking but I couldn’t have been more at ease saying my vows with Ellie’s calm happy guidance.

Not one of our guests didn’t comment on how brilliant she was.

Thank you so much Ellie. You are such an incredible celebrant and coordinator. You are just exactly what we needed. Your calm and "can do" attitude made the whole difference. We truly enjoyed our wedding day and you made it memorable and meaningful. I will recommend you to any couple looking to get married.

Thank you so much Ellie. You were so lovely and accommodating with our requests! The ceremony was simply perfect, the family loved that we were able to add our own traditions and incorporate Maori culture as well.

Ellie you are amazing, thanks so much for all the work and effort you put into our wedding day. The guidance and knowledge you shared helped us so much and the way your told our story will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We will be forever grateful for your work.

G & J

Our wedding was an amazing day, especially with the support of Ellie! We thought we were going to manage our special day’s organisation by ourselves, but without the guidance, and amazing communication that we had from her, the day wouldn’t have gone as flawlessly as we had hoped and given us the memories to last a lifetime. We would highly recommend Ellie’s services to anyone trying to plan their dream wedding.

Ellie was honestly the best, from the moment we chose her. She made so much effort it getting to know us. From helping us with our vows and speeches to making us so comfortable on our wedding day. I hope I never get married again but if I did I would definitely have Ellie as my celebrant and planner. Where do we even begin but thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! From day dot you have been a point of reference for absolutely everything! You helped me with things you did not have to do so and you made us both feel so very comfortable and welcomed with coming to you for help. Your ceremony speech was so personalised about things we don’t even remember telling you about and that you have just picked up on over the course of knowing us and that just speaks volumes as to the effort and notice you put into your couples. You nailed the brief with the mushy lovliness and the perfect balance of humour. Everyone couldn’t stop praising you to us the morning after. You set the entire tone of our wedding and that tone was fun laughter happiness love and the best damn day of our lives! I loved having chats with you and our little Instagram tags. I’ll miss having an excuse to message you now! Ellie from the bottom of our hearts thank you thank you! We found a friend in you. You were the best; it had honestly felt like you knew us so well. The day would never have been the same without you. Thanks so much for the effort you made to get to know us.

Words can’t begin to describe how grateful we are for the part Ellie played in our special day. As soon as we reached out for our elopement and found out Ellie was also a celebrant we knew we wanted her to be a part of our day as she made us feel so at ease in all our decisions. Ellie was so kind, patient and accommodating and no question was ever too much trouble. Meeting Ellie on our elopement day, we felt like we had an old friend by our side due to how calm, warm and welcoming she was towards us. The words she put together for our ceremony couldn’t have captured us more perfectly. We had the absolute best, best, best day possible and it was all thanks to Ellie.

You truly brought my vision to life, and I honestly can’t thank you enough for that. We’ve had so many people reach out over the past few days saying it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to and that they had the most amazing time… and that is a direct reflection of everything you did. I know it wasn’t always easy, especially with our big blended family and fitting so many people into the space, but you handled it all so well with what you had available. You were the reason the day flowed the way it did, and we’re so, so grateful. Also, your social media content, awesome!! You absolutely nailed it. Thank you as well for everything leading up to the day, all the emails, the back and forth, and just being such a calm, reassuring presence while I was planning from another country. You really put my mind at ease the whole way through. We’ll absolutely be crediting you for helping bring our dream day to life. You went above and beyond as an on-the-day coordinator, and you were such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Thank you again for everything.

Ellie was our celebrant for our dream wedding in Tuscany Italy. Ellie's words and speech during the ceremony were so touching and heartfelt! We felt like she knew us all her life. Ellie offered to be a content creator for our day and to help plan our wedding. Ellie was funny, creative, and full of great ideas that made our big day even more special. We can’t recommend her enough! If you need a celebrant or planner in New Zealand or Europe, we very highly recommend Ellie!

Ellie helped coordinate and officiate our wedding in New Zealand last year, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, energetic, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Leading up to the big day, she was incredibly patient with all of my questions and always made us feel supported. You can tell how much she cares about her work—she makes the experience feel very personal and meaningful. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone planning their wedding. She was an absolute joy to work with!

Thank you so much for all your help on Saturday and in the lead up to our big day. Just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing job you did for our wedding planning. You were so easy to deal with in the lead up to the wedding and absolutely amazing on our wedding day. The weather on the day was windy with the possibility of rain, Ellie moved our ceremony site four times to accommodate the weather and our location preference. This made everything on the day so stress free for us knowing Ellie had everything under total control. The reception set up was exactly what we wanted and had envisioned especially since we were prone to being indecisive. We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication to making our day absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend Ellie to anyone planning their wedding .

Ellie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us create a beautiful, personalized ceremony that reflected our love for each other. She was professional, organized, and kept everything running smoothly on our wedding day. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was. If you are looking for a wedding celebrant who will go above and beyond to make your day special, look no further than Ellie. She is an incredible person and a true professional, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as a part of our wedding day. Thank you, Ellie, for everything!

I don’t know how to thank you enough, Ellie. Our wedding day was truly magical, and the entire lead‑up was seamless, all because of you and your incredible talent. Nothing was ever too big, too small, or too complicated for you to solve. You brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined, and we felt supported every single step of the way. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ellie! Our wedding day was so peaceful and stress free thanks to her! She took the time to note the small details to add a personal touch to our ceremony that left us smiling and laughing the whole time. She was a warm, friendly, and sweet presence throughout our day and we would highly recommend to anyone!!

It was a pleasure to have Ellita as our celebrant. She fit well into our Islamic/Indian/kiwi ceremony, and incorporated the different cultures well. Even my guests had mentioned they appreciated seeing that. Ellita did an amazing job getting to know us and writing a ceremony speech that fit us as a couple perfectly. It was personal, with some humour, it gave our guests a great overview of us and really contributed to celebrating our love. I appreciate her thorough work, and the affable atmosphere she created at my ceremony. Thanks again Ellie, I'm so glad to have you there for our special day

Ellie offered us her services some time before our wedding. My wife and I were immediately struck by Ellie's extraordinary kindness to people, and in particular to (future) brides and grooms. We were seduced by her artistic style, politeness, kindness and generosity. The proof, all the wedding behind-the-scene videos she took illustrate this generosity, and the Instagram content she made for our wedding captured the emotions and light of this wonderful moment. Ellie is undeniably a must-have for her wedding, and in life! We recommend her without hesitation!
