“Ellen just made our wedding day seamless! We had so many friends and family comment on how personal, enjoyable and lighthearted our ceremony was and that is all thanks to Ellen. We had a few meetings with Ellen to discuss the sort of ceremony we wanted and she  captured the tone perfectly!

Also, because of how organised Ellen is it helped ease our nerves and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day for what it was.

Highly, highly, highly recommend!”

Katherina and Neil

We could not have wished for a better celebrant. Ellen was simply perfect and beyond our expectations for planning our humanist wedding ceremony. Ellen met with us multiple times, provided us with guidance and example wedding ceremony scripts, poems and little extras that could be incorporate into our ceremony. She was supportive of all our ideas, and added very suitable touches to our ceremony which we had not thought of (e.g. greeting the bride's family from Germany in German). In short, Ellen made sure that our ceremony was unforgettable with our wedding guests still commenting on it as having been the most hilarious, participatory and personal ceremony they have ever witnessed.

Ellen was our celebrant on 01/07/2022 and we can’t recommend her enough! Ellen made the process so straight forward and sends you everything you need when you first book, as well as some reminders along the way which is great! She made my husband very relaxed as she’s so easy to chat to. Ellen really makes it personal to you and will tailer her approach to whatever you would like. 

Ellen made the ceremony so special and funny! She’s like a comedian and so quick even with the guests. Everyone said it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve been to. We loved the humour in it as it helped us to relax and it’s been an absolute pleasure watching it back in our video. The photos show just how funny it was - we loved it! We had children do some poems and she was very good with them. It was also very personal and still managed to bring in the romance, without being too soppy! 

Ellen made it perfect for us 💗
