That’s why you need Cellebrate -
make sure your ceremony is
authentically awesome.

A fun, fresh, fab celebrant

Hi, I’m Elle aka Cellebrate!

My name is Elle (said like bell, not like belly). I’m a cisgender woman and my pronouns are she/her’hers. I’m a Commonwealth-registered civil marriage celebrant based in Inner West Sydney (Wangal and Gadigal Country) and the Upper Blue Mountains (Dharug and Gundungurra Country), but I travel all over NSW and Australia marrying excellent humans to each other.

I’m neurodivergent, live with an invisible disability, and am always striving for allyship for queer, indigenous and marginalised communities. I’m an advocate, an activist, and an educator on all things inclusion and accessibility, ESPECIALLY in the wedding industry. We’ve got a long way to go as an industry, but I’m glad to be part of that journey!

I run a values-led business and specifically seek to work with like-minded people who want to have authentic and wholehearted celebrations of love. This means I’m definitely not the right celebrant for everyone, but I sure hope it means I’m the PERFECT celebrant for you!

Inclusive by design

Combining lived experience, actual expertise & genuine care

So you’ve probably already noticed that the wedding industry is a bit… Normie. The words inclusion and inclusive are thrown A LOT without any real follow through, especially since we (quite rightly) changed the law in 2017 and legalised same-sex marriage.

But let’s face it - in 2025, whacking a rainbow on your website and throwing an Acknowledgement of Country in your website footer just isn’t enough. Your wedding is such an important day, so you need to be able to select vendors who:

  1. Showcase their values and inclusion upfront so you can make informed decisions about the suitability of them and their services

  2. Have the lived experience, expertise and a practical understanding of inclusion that goes beyond tokenism and self-proclaimed allyship.

Part of why I became a celebrant was to bring my detailed, thorough and genuine commitment to diversity in all its forms to the wedding industry. We wouldn’t hire service providers who don’t or can’t support us in other parts of our lives, so why should this be any different?

Don’t worry, fam. I got you.

  • Elle truly set the tone for the most magical day. She brought the perfect mix of humour, heart, and calm energy, making the entire ceremony feel deeply personal and full of love. She was also amazing with our vendors and guided us through writing our vows, making the whole process feel easy and meaningful. Elle isn’t just a celebrant — she’s a dream-maker. We feel so lucky to have had her marry us. Hands down, the best in the business! 💛

  • We were looking for a small ceremony out in the Blue Mountains. There were some hiccups literally at midnight before our wedding and Elle was with us to help out. Gosh, cannot explain how stressful this time was but Elle was awesome. Friends commented how great her ceremony was and we were asked how long we had known Elle or worked with her; not long!!! But it shows how quickly she could build rapport and have a fantastic story and everything.

    Jason & Caitlyn

  • Oh my god! The entire experience with Elle from Cellebrate.... from our very first meeting right through to the moment she pronounced us husband and wife was inspiring. Elle took the time to get to know us and our story. She revelled in understanding who we were and the kind of ceremony we wanted, and her delivery on the day was breathtaking. Elle's storytelling delivery of how we met and our journey together as a couple as told by her, as well as our vows and all the legally required stuff in between... it was just above and beyond! We felt like old friends, not just a client or a service... Elle's heart is in everything she does for you as your celebrant and you could absolutely not ask for a better celebrant for what is surely the most important memory of your life! Do yourself a favour and get Elle on board!

    Dom & Leonie

  • Elle is an absolute gem! Best celebrant ever! She made our ceremony so special, listened carefully to our needs, and took a huge load off our shoulders with her amazing knowledge and skills for ceremonies and all the personal touches we wanted to include. If you’re after a modern celebrant who believes in inclusivity for all, book Elle!

    Blossom & Alistair

  • Elle is an incredibly warm, genuine and lovely person and celebrant! We are so fortunate to have come across Elle because she made our marriage ceremony really special with so many heartfelt and personalised elements. She was so supportive of all the things we asked for and very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We highly highly recommend Elle if you’re looking for a down to earth, friendly and fun celebrant who will put you at ease and deliver a beautiful ceremony to remember. Thank you so much Elle 😊

    Angelica & Bernardo

  • Elle is the Celebrant of our dreams. Would get married again just to have her as our celebrant, ha. She helped us put together a whole surprise wedding in just 8 weeks and spend a whole day lying to our guests pretending she was running a Murder Mystery Game. Elle is kind, inclusive, funny as heck and will make sure your ceremony is 1000% you. She organised everything from helping with our vows, printing them on cards, organising a sound system for our favourite songs and serving gin & tonics to celebrate right after. This is no Celebrant, she is a One Woman Show - Wedding Fairy Edition. So in awe of all her magic!

    Sina & Jacques

  • Elle is an exceptional officiant—professional, kind, and full of heart. From the start, she responded promptly to our questions and guided us through every step of the wedding process with clarity and care. She truly understands how overwhelming weddings can be, and her empathy and reassurance helped ease our anxiety, especially on the big day. What really stood out was how she continued to support us even after the ceremony, personally guiding us through the marriage registry process—which we had no idea about. On top of all that, Elle is incredibly friendly and has a great sense of humor. She cracked jokes, shared smiles, and brought warmth and sunshine to an otherwise cloudy day. She uplifted the whole mood and made our wedding feel even more special. We’re beyond grateful for her presence and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Perfectly personalised marriage ceremonies

No cookie cutters, no clichés.

My goal is to make your day via a highly-personalised civil marriage ceremony that reflects you AND entertains your guests - you won’t just be enduring your wedding ceremony and waiting for that first champers, you’ll actually ENJOY it and create a beautiful bonding moment between you and your loved ones that you’ll all remember for years to come.

Whether you’re looking to elope, having a microwedding of 20 or less guests, or going all out with a massive party with everyone you love, I will tailor the perfect package for you with a super simple and clear pricing structure and no long list of hidden extras that gets sprung on you later.

I also offer alternative weddings, including theme weddings, fantasy and costume weddings, weddings in weird places (on a boat, edge of a cliff, in a plane, just try me), and delight in crafting completely bespoke rituals that match your theme and are limited only by imagination.

A modern & inclusive process to get married

If your brain is anything like mine, you need to know what the process is and how this all works. For many of us, it’s part of our need to have all the information upfront so we can process it in our own unique ways and manage our expectations (personally, I hate surprises and have a fear of the unknown… Unless you want a surprise wedding which is fine by me cos I HAVE to be in the know for that to happen haha).

So whether you want to be able to plan ahead, are a visual person instead of a words person, or you just wanna know what you’re getting yourself into, I’ve put together a map of our journey together from enquiry to registration of your marriage after the ceremony so you know EXACTLY what happens when.
