I am an authorised civil marriage celebrant and the human behind Honeybee Celebrancy. What started as a passion-project in 2018 of marrying my family and friends, quickly turned into a busy little side-gig. Now I’m all-in, and I count my lucky stars, big time!

I’m Ellen, lovely to meet you!

Your love, your way

I wholeheartedly believe that all love is magical and should be celebrated in its own special way. I will take the time to get to know you, see your love first-hand, and craft a ceremony that is a genuine reflection of your relationship. I am a passionate and professional presenter. My goal is always authenticity. Expect heartfelt moments, smiling so much your face hurts, and lots of happy tears!
