A bit about me…..
I’m Ella! A Brit/Kiwi who has called Auckland home for most of my life.
I have always grown up performing and I eventually moved to London to professionally study acting & music at a top drama school.
While in training I met my now husband on Tinder!
After many years living in London we decided to move back to Auckland in the Spring of 2024.
We got married in early 2024 and really wanted a ceremony that would encapsulate what we felt was special about our relationship. During this process we found our own incredible celebrant, who inspired me to take the leap into this new career.
Public speaking, creative writing and a love of meeting new people are pillars of this role. I realised these were skills I already had to hand! Being a part of someone’s celebration, be it a marriage, naming or commitment ceremony, is a huge honour. I cannot wait to keep sharing couples & families stories.
As an actor I have always loved telling stories.
But, something is even more special about telling real love stories.
“From the moment we met Ella, we knew we were in good hands. Her warmth, insight, and ability to understand what mattered most to us made a lasting impression. She struck the perfect balance between guiding us with her experience and respecting our preferences. Her calm presence and quiet confidence put us both at ease throughout the process.
We honestly don’t believe anyone else could have created such a beautiful and memorable moment with us. We’re so grateful we chose Ella”.

Cooking
If I’m I not writing your script I’m probably in the kitchen trying to perfect an authentic carbonara….one trip to Italy and I’m convinced I’m part Italian!
Cocktails
I wouldn’t call myself a mixologist yet, but you can bet I’m chilling my glassware, buying artisan spirits and searching supermarkets for a particular brand of tonic water.
Swimming
Water is my happy place and I swim all year round….4 degrees celsius is my record!
Music
My music taste definitely isn’t mainstream, but I will have plenty of suggestions and ideas for your ceremonies. I even sang at my own wedding…several drinks later, it wasn’t my greatest performance!
