About Weddings by Ms. Ellie

Weddings by Ms. Ellie

Wedding Officiant

I thoroughly enjoy meeting new couples, and I make every effort to perform the ceremony to your expectations. It is an honor to perform weddings, and I look forward to working with you. I have been performing weddings since 2017- check out my website for more reviews! I have performed over 300 weddings, vow renewals, and commitment ceremonies (traditional and same sex). I'm ordained solely to perform weddings; Christian, non-denominational, secular, and judgment-free. I am an active member of a local church community. I'm also a notary (Florida) if you prefer secular certification.

I use a questionnaire to help guide me in creating your ceremony wording and provide you with sample readings and vow options to personalize your ceremony. Check out my website for testimonials: WeddingsByMsEllie. I offer several ceremony options, with no additional fee: Hand-Fasting, Jumping the Broom, Blending of Sand, Breaking the Glass, and many more! I'm always willing to work with you! *As a veteran, I offer a military discount. Please indicate your military status when you request a quote.

In three words: Confident, Creative, Flexible

    Wedding at Elizabeth Park Garden

    From our first conversation, Ms. Ellie made us feel completely at ease with her welcoming approach and genuine interest in our vision. She listened carefully to what mattered most to us and wove our faith into every detail of the ceremony, from the prayers to the specific words she chose. What really stood out was how authentic and heartfelt everything felt—it was clear she put thought into creating a moment that honored us and gave God the praise we wanted. Ms. Ellie's communication throughout the planning process was efficient and organized, yet she never lost sight of the personal touches that made our day special. She was kind and caring every step of the way, and on our wedding day she delivered a ceremony that felt straight from our hearts. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us start our marriage.

    Ellie the officiant

    From the moment we connected with Ms. Ellie, we felt at ease. She has a calming presence that made the whole process smooth and easy, which meant we could focus on the excitement rather than stress about the details. Her sweet and welcoming approach put both of us at ease, and she asked thoughtful questions that helped her understand what we wanted for our ceremony. Ms. Ellie delivered exactly what we hoped for on our wedding day—a beautiful, personal ceremony that felt true to us. It was a great experience overall, and we'd recommend her to everyone looking for an officiant who genuinely cares about making your day special.

    6.26.26 Wedding Day!

    From our first conversation with Ms. Ellie, we knew we were in capable hands. She was clear and organized throughout the entire planning process, making sure we felt prepared and comfortable heading into our ceremony. Ms. Ellie took the time to understand our story and wrote a ceremony that felt deeply personal and romantic, capturing exactly what we wanted to express on our wedding day. Her professionalism made the whole experience smooth, but her warmth made it feel genuine and special. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us start our marriage, and we're so grateful for the care she put into every detail.

    Wedding Perfection

    Ms. Ellie was absolutely perfect to work with. We reached out to her less than a week before we decided to get married, and not only was she able to help us, but she also guided us through the process. She was fantastic to work with, was extremely kind, and helped make our day as special as it could be.

    Professional and Personal

    We were so lucky to find Weddings by Ms. Ellie when we needed an officiant on short notice. She took on our small, last-minute ceremony with ease and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Ellie's communication was clear and timely, and she genuinely listened to what we wanted for our day. She brought warmth and flexibility to everything she did, creating an intimate and meaningful moment that felt perfectly tailored to us. Her professionalism combined with her kind-hearted nature made her an absolute gem to work with. We cannot recommend her enough for any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! Ellie

I've performed over 300 wedding ceremonies, from large venues (over 300) to intimate settings (just the couple). Each one is unique and special.
Most couples have a wedding planner, or the venue provides an on-site staff person, so save your money and use their services. If you need me there, no worries; I will attend. However, there is a fee, which we can discuss.
Absolutely! I make every effort to make sure the ceremony wording reflects your expectations. I offer sample vows/readings and then provide a draft for your review before the ceremony.
Yes, if you want, I will include your original date in the wording, but no worries, if you don't want to share that with your guests, they will experience your vow exchange based on the details you want shared, if any!
Premarital counseling is not required. If you want to arrange to meet or have a phone call in advance, I'm more than willing to meet you both.
I'm available seasonally in CT June-mid Mid October Florida area (Jensen, Vero, Ft Pierce, PSL) Mid October - May
