Happily Ellie After
OVERVIEW
What You’ll Love About Working with Happily Ellie After For Your Gold Coast / Tweed Heads Wedding:
“Ellie created a ceremony that was exactly what we’d hoped for, even more beautiful than we’d dreamed. Our guests kept saying it was the most personal ceremony they had ever been to.”
Ellie’s role starts long before you stand together on the day. She gets to know you as a couple, looks after the ceremony writing, guides you through the legal requirements, and helps shape the flow of the moment. Her ceremonies are written from scratch, with space for your story, your favourite people, your vows, and the little details that make the ceremony matter. If having someone close to you lead the ceremony feels more personal, Ellie’s Buddy Up Wedding option allows them to take centre stage while she remains responsible for the legal components required to make the marriage official.
Couples can choose from legal-only ceremonies, elopements, micro weddings for up to 20 guests, classic ceremonies, full love-story ceremonies, Buddy Up Weddings, and bilingual or entirely Spanish ceremonies. Ellie is originally from Mexico and is a native Spanish speaker fluent in both English and Spanish. She can legally conduct the entire wedding ceremony in Spanish, as well as create bilingual ceremonies for couples and families who want both languages represented with care. She also offers MC services, helping the celebration continue smoothly after the ceremony is done, with 20% off MC services for remaining 2026 dates, saving up to $100.
Highlights of Working with Happily Ellie After:
“Ellie was a friend from the very first moment. She made everything easy, and every single word made sense for us and for all our guests.”
