“Ellen is truly amazing, and we could not have imagined a better celebrant for our wedding on 16 October 2025! From our very first meeting, Ellen’s warmth and kindness instantly put us at ease. She took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple, and guided us thoughtfully through every step of the process with care and professionalism.

Ellen created a ceremony that was deeply personal, heartfelt, and so authentically us including some distinctive speeches from close friends which added some fun and humour for our attendees. It felt natural, sincere, and full of love, and thanks to Ellen’s calm and reassuring presence, we were able to relax, be fully present, and truly soak in every moment. Our family and friends have since shared how much they loved and connected with the ceremony, which is a testament to Ellen’s beautiful work.

Behind the scenes, Ellen went above and beyond, juggling countless details to ensure everything flowed seamlessly. Her organisation and professionalism took all the stress out of the legalities and logistics, allowing us to simply enjoy our day. Ellen was a criminal lawyer in a former life, there are so many transferrable skills that Ellen has available to her now as a result, that other celebrants just do not have.

Ellen’s genuine joy, passion, and dedication shine through in everything she does. We feel so grateful to have had her play such a special role in our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a celebrant who brings warmth, grace, and a truly personal touch to their big day.

Ellen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.”

“5 stars just isn't enough for Honeybee Celebrancy.

Ellen is the real deal, one of the most authentic and kind human beings you'll ever meet.

As a celebrant she was absolutely amazing from our initial chats all the way through to the big day. Her presence was always calm, collected and supremely organised - in other words, the perfect teammate for our wedding day.

So many of our guests were literally raving afterwards about how well she spoke and ran the ceremony.

If you're looking for a celebrant, look no further because we really don't think it's possible you could do any better.”

“The Queen Bee of marriage celebrancy! Ellen is the best celebrant anyone could imagine!

Ellen supported Ben and I in pulling off a surprise wedding. Having been to very few weddings prior to our big day, I didn't know what expect but Ellen went above and beyond. She has a fine eye for detail, is very proactive and helped us consider all aspects of our wedding. Ellen is a wealth of knowledge and has a heart of gold.

Despite living in different states, arranging meet ups prior to the wedding was a breeze. Ellen communicated with us regularly to ensure we were on track, had answers to any questions and that we had rehearsed all we needed to in the lead up.

Knowing how much preparation had gone into our ceremony really allowed us to relax and take in the excitement on our wedding day. During the ceremony, Ellen made us feel at ease, spoke eloquently, and captivated the attention of our guests.

If you are looking for a celebrant who will bring the right vibe and energy to your big day, I highly recommend Ellen to be your celebrant! Thank you so much Ellen for making our wedding one of the best days of our lives!”

“Ellen was everything you could ask for in a celebrant and more.

We were referred to Ellen through our photographer, and for good reason - right from our first meeting she was genuine and warm, communicated clearly, and was clearly very knowledgeable. Ellen truly takes the time to build rapport, and most meetings felt like catching up with a friend who happened to be organising our ceremony at the same time!
Through the whole process she was enthusiastic and bubbly, and travelled to meet with us on several occasions. Ellen kept us in the loop with legal requirements regularly, via email so we truly didn't have to worry about anything.

Ellen was very accommodating with our ethnically diverse ceremony which had multiple moving parts. Our choices on how we wanted the ceremony run were always respected.

On the day, in spite of a bout of bad weather & other challenging circumstances, Ellen went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. We highly recommend Ellen for her expertise, dedication and warmth!”

“Ellen is everything you could want in a celebrant. She is extremely organised, knowledgeable and excellent at keeping you on track. She is also incredibly personable and her down to earth attitude kept us so calm in the lead up to our wedding, while her constant enthusiasm and kindness was very infectious. We felt in very safe hands.

Ellen truly took the time to get to know us as people and as a couple - it also helped she was extremely friendly and great to be around! Ellen’s ceremony was very special. One of the best things we heard from our guests was that, in the best way possible, they barely noticed Ellen - that she didn’t try hog the limelight or steal the show. She is humble and quietly brilliant and perfectly captured the mood we wanted to achieve for our ceremony.

If you are wondering what celebrant you should book for your upcoming wedding, look no further and book Ellen.”

"We can't imagine a more wonderful celebrant than Ellen. She made the whole process of planning and executing our intimate marriage ceremony seamless and easy thanks to her help and preparation, and joyful personality.

Ellen was well organised, communicative and generous with her time, and tailored the ceremony to our needs, with suggestions and thoughtful gestures that made our ceremony extra special and memorable.

Her passion for her work is evident and there wasn't a detail overlooked when it came to the wedding - Ellen had it all covered, from all the legalities and the heartfelt and meaningful ceremony, to providing and managing a speaker for music - even to making the baby smile at the camera during the photography session!

What we loved and appreciated the most from our time with Ellen was that she genuinely celebrated us and our union, and at the end of the wedding we knew that we had gained a new friend.

If you're looking for a celebrant who will spread the love and joy on your wedding day, look no further than Ellen. We highly recommend her.”

“Ellen, from the moment we had our first zoom call with you, we knew we had nothing to worry about.

Your professionalism, enthusiasm and passion immediately made us feel at ease and comfortable with a process that could otherwise be daunting.

You were organised, reassuring and always went the extra mile for us (even offering up your partner’s shoes to a groom who forgot his on the wedding day) to ensure that our wedding was stress free and went according to plan.

Your attention to detail and personalisation of the ceremony added that extra magical element that had us and our guests in awe.

Ellen, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so special and for being the best celebrant a bride and groom could wish for.

Lots of love, Rachelle and Matt.”

“Ellen is an amazing celebrant and the perfect person for any wedding.

When we were planning, we didn't really know where to start with anything for the ceremony but after our first meeting with Ellen we were no longer worried. Ellen was super organised and presented lots of information and options to think about. Throughout the whole process Ellen was very responsive, attentive and extremely thoughtful.

In the lead up to the big day Ellen was generous with her time and really took away our stress about the ceremony by being so prepared and enthusiastic.

Most importantly Ellen is a warm, loving, sunshine human being, the perfect person to have in your wedding and to share the day with you.

If you are looking for a celebrant, you will not find a better person to have with you than Ellen.”

“Where to start! We had to reschedule our wedding a couple of times due to covid. After a few issues from our original booking (with a different celebrant), we were left without a celebrant when we were doing our final plans for our wedding for 18 November 2023.

Enter Ellen; holy moly what a blessing in disguise. We had seen Ellen’s work on her socials before and were in awe over the testimony’s from the people she had previously married, so; Conor and I asked Ellen if she could be our celebrant and she excitingly agreed!

Her professionalism and planning was unmatched to anything we had ever seen before, she took so much stress out of the biggest part of our day, planned everything down to a tee and explained everything from start to finish and beyond (how to change names etc).

Even though Elle is a friend to us, we know she would feel like a friend to anyone she officiates for, her kindness and zest for celebrancy is unreal and we are so blessed that we were able to be married by her, she played so many important roles on our big day and it was honestly the best ceremony (not only in our opinion but a large number of our guests opinions as well).

We love you Elle!”

"Ellen, from start to finish your expertise in what you do was priceless.

Your kindness, support, patience and presence on the day was everything we could have hoped for.

Not only did you help us create memorable and unforgettable ceremony, but you created a stress-free process from our first meeting to the finalisation of our wedding registration.

We cannot thank you enough for genuinely celebrating our love and our little family.

Ellen is by far a dream celebrant; we highly recommend Honeybee Celebrancy to anyone and already cannot wait to see her again.

What a friend we have gained for life.

Love the Jensen’s”

“Ellen is a fantastic celebrant who makes you feel comfortable and at ease when going through the exciting but complicated process of getting married.

She was available whenever we needed to go over something and provided plenty of positive feedback when helping us create our ceremony.

Her oration of our ceremony was clear and heartfelt. We also appreciated that Ellen prepared our vows on cards for us to read on the day. We can’t thank you enough Ellen!”

"We have had the pleasure of seeing Ellen in her element twice now, one for our dear friends' wedding and again for our own (after seeing her in action we knew she was the one for us!)

From the beginning Ellen has been amazing to work with, communicative, thorough, supportive and the biggest hype girl! Ellen and her partner also helped us with including our pooch in the wedding which was the greatest help and weight off our shoulders, especially since we have an anxious dog.

If you’re looking for a celebrant who is as passionate about your wedding as you are, you’ve found them!!

If we had to do it all over again, without a doubt Ellen would be our first and only choice!"

“Ellen was absolutely incredible from start to finish. When we first met Ellen, we knew Ellen would be a great celebrant to marry us because she was fun, calm, professional and she was excited to try some new things that we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony.

Ellen also went above and beyond to help make our day as special as possible, and you can tell she really does care.

Thank you Ellen for everything!”

“If you are looking for an incredible celebrant, look no further!

Ellen made the whole process from start to finish an absolute dream.

The planning was so easy, she included our pup in the ceremony and took extra good care of her afterwards.

And the ceremony itself - it was like we had known each other for years.”

"Ellen was the perfect celebrant.

You couldn't ask for anyone who is more caring, organised, calm and full of good vibes.

She helped make what could easily have been a daunting or complicated process so simple and easy to understand.

We are extremely grateful to have had your help make our wedding such an incredible and seamless day."

“When we first started planning our wedding, I told my now husband that I wanted someone who wasn’t a stranger. I knew Ellen was a celebrant and I thought she would be perfect. Ellen is brilliant, lovely and such a warm, friendly person who I knew we would feel very comfortable with her standing by our side.

From the very beginning, Ellen was so helpful and very supportive with the process leading up to our special day.

If anyone is looking for a celebrant, please choose Ellen. We cannot thank her enough!

Big love from The Sajorda’s”

“Grateful, cannot even begin to explain how we feel having Ellen as such a central part of our wedding day.

Not only did she do a beautiful job of officiating our marriage, but she went above and beyond what could be expected as a celebrant.

The pre-ceremony organisation was phenomenal and really did relieve a big chunk of pre-wedding stress from us. Every step was planned and no detail was overlooked. Ellen took on each and every request we had, and even took extra care of our fur-babies who she advocated should be included on the day.

If anyone wants a celebrant who loves celebrating love, you cannot look past Ellen!”

“Choosing a marriage celebrant is like choosing the narrator to the most anticipated, emotional, exciting day of your life… it has to feel right.

Ellen was the glue of our entire ceremony. She organised everything that we needed (and all the extra things we didn’t know we needed!), provided all of her own equipment and just made the whole experience beautiful and seamless.

The delivery of her heartfelt words and the way she captivated our family and friends was nothing short of amazing!”

“We didn’t have to consider who we wanted to marry us because in our mind we knew we only wanted Ellen… and we are so grateful to her that she said yes!

It’s because we knew with her genuinely beautiful soul she would help us put together a ceremony that captures what we want to say to each other on our special day.

From the beginning she put together all of the paperwork we needed and met with us in person to go over it all and explain all of the legal formalities, as well as making the ceremony personalised to our story.

She went over and above to make it as easy as possible and we felt so comfortable knowing she was standing there with us on one of the biggest days of our lives.

Thank you Ellen, we appreciate you xx”

“We are so grateful that Ellen said yes to being our celebrant!

Ellen’s presence at all times brings ease and joy and that was exactly what having her as our celebrant was – easy and joyful.

Ellen had every detail covered from start to finish and was so proactive and prompt in her communications with us. We even had our official wedding certificate in our hands the following week!

As a celebrant she is the perfect blend of professional but relaxed and serious but fun. And her fiancé Dylan was an amazing assistant looking after the music and setting up a video recording for us on the day.

Thank you, Ellen, for everything you did to make our wedding day so wonderful.

If you are looking for a celebrant, look no further! You won’t be disappointed.

Love Robyn & Daly xx”

“Ellen is the PERFECT wedding celebrant!

We were lucky enough to have Ellen as our wonderful celebrant earlier this year. Not only was she calm and knowledgeable, but she was also genuinely excited for our special day.
She took the time to go through the whole process with us, including the paperwork, ceremony order, vows, wedding certificate etc. She even helped us with recommendations for photographers. She was easy to contact and liaised with the other venders without me needing to be a middleman.

Our ceremony was flawless. Everything ran so smoothly, and I give the credit to Ellen. She had listened to what we wanted and made it special and personal to us. She had thought of everything and her special touches, like the vow booklets, were just the cherry on top.

Ellen is everything you are looking for in a marriage celebrant, seriously, book her now!”
