Legally Wed Ceremonies
OVERVIEW
Hi, I’m Elly!
Weddings are all about connection (and yes, a great party helps too). It’s such a privilege to stand beside you as you step into this next chapter together. Whether you’re dreaming of something short and sweet or a ceremony that’s a little more “extra” and filled with personal touches, my goal is always the same — to make it feel completely you.
I want your guests to walk away saying, “That was so them,” and more importantly, I want you two to soak up every second of it. Because your ceremony shouldn’t feel like a formality — it should feel like the moment everything truly begins.
I’m here to bring a calm, supportive presence, take care of the legal side of things (so you don’t have to stress), and create a ceremony that feels relaxed, meaningful, and full of the right kind of energy. Think warmth, a little laughter, and a moment that feels effortless from start to finish.
No awkward scripts. No cookie-cutter ceremonies. Just something honest, personal, and beautifully put together.
If you’re feeling like we might be a good fit, I’d love to chat. We can jump on a relaxed, no-pressure call or you can send through an enquiry — whatever feels easiest.
Can’t wait to hear all about your plans,
Elly
About
Hi, I’m Elly! I started Legally Wed Ceremonies because I truly love love, celebrating it, and the magic that comes with weddings. I loved planning my own wedding and knew I wanted to help others feel that same joy and ease. When I’m not working, I’m soaking up time with my husband and our 6-month-old son (hello teething!), and our two golden retrievers. I love cherry gelato, fishing on the weekends, and a sneaky Aperol Spritz while I daydream about the Italian coast.

Wedding planning is exciting… but let’s be honest, it can also be a lot. Wedding fatigue is REAL, and the decision anxiety? I know it all too well. But don't worry! I’m here to help you feel supported every step of the way. Let’s slow things down with a comfort cuppa (beverage of your choice — my shout), have a chat, and start dreaming up the most exciting day of your lives together.

FAQ
Think of me as your ceremony BFF — I guide you through the whole process from “let’s plan this” to “I do.” I take care of all the legal requirements, work with you to craft a ceremony that reflects your story and values, and deliver it on the day with calm confidence and a little bit of magic. My job is to make sure your ceremony feels personal, meaningful, and completely you.
Absolutely not! Some couples love writing their own vows, some want a little guidance, some go for shared vows, and some skip personal vows altogether. There’s no right or wrong here — I’ll walk you through the options and support whatever feels easiest, most meaningful, and most you.
Most couples book their celebrant 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season or popular dates. But if your wedding is coming up sooner, don’t worry — it’s still worth reaching out! I’m always happy to chat about what’s possible and help you lock in your perfect date.
Weddings rarely go exactly to plan — and that’s totally okay! I’ve got plenty of experience handling last-minute changes, weather surprises, and timeline tweaks. On the day, I’ll stay calm, work with you (and your vendors), and make sure your ceremony still flows beautifully — rain, shine, or plot twist.
Of course! Love is love, and I’m here for all of it — rainbows and all. I create ceremonies for every couple, designed to feel personal, meaningful, and completely you.
Absolutely! Many couples love including their people through readings, rituals, or small roles during the ceremony. I’ll help you find a way to involve your loved ones that feels natural, meaningful, and seamless — so the ceremony flows beautifully while everyone gets to be part of your special moment.
Absolutely — yes, 100%! Pets are family, and I love when couples include them in their ceremony. Whether they’re strutting down the aisle, standing proudly by your side, or just adding their own special vibe to the moment, I’ll help you make it work in a way that feels natural and meaningful. I even had my own fur baby star in my wedding, so I know just how magical it is to have them there. Just a heads up — all pet involvement needs to follow your venue’s policies and requirements.
It really depends on the style of ceremony you choose. A short and sweet legals-only ceremony is usually around 10 minutes. If you’re opting for a more bespoke ceremony with personal touches like readings and rituals, it can range anywhere from 20 minutes to around an hour, depending on what we include together.
