Together, we can make sure your ceremony is authentically awesome and genuinely YOU. Don’t settle for anything less on your special day.

Why Book Me?

"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. Hands down, the best in the business!" Aliska & Paula
"Elle is amazing and took no time at all to listen and fully understand us and what we wanted out of our special day. She helped us with vows and wrote a down-to-earth ceremony with plenty of internal references and jokes that worked perfectly with our family and friends. We couldn't recommend her more to anyone!" Jason & Alice
"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 tell a fantastic story." Jason & Caitlyn

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), originally from the Upper Blue Mountains (Dharug and Gundungurra Country), but I travel all over Sydney/Gadigal Country, NSW and Australia marrying excellent humans to each other.

I’m neurodivergent, live with an invisible disability, and am always striving for allyship for all queer peoples, marginalised communities, and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and indigenous peoples. 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!

A fun, fresh, fab celebrant

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 around A LOT without any real follow through, especially since we (quite rightly) changed the law in 2017 and de-gendered the Marriage Act.

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:

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

Inclusive by design

What does a marriage celebrant cost?

I believe in transparent pricing - you’re doing your research and you need as much info as possible, I get it! Nothing worse than having to send an email to find out whether a marriage celebrant is in your budget.

A modern and 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.
