About Ellie

I am a Wedding, Naming and Funeral Celebrant based in Bournemouth and Poole, Dorset. I have been trained to the highest standard and hold the national NOCN Level 3 Diploma (QCF) in both Couples and Naming Celebrancy and Funeral Celebrancy. I also belong to the Institute of Civil Funerals. 

I believe in the choice of the individual and am committed to providing bespoke ceremonies tailored to your exact requirements. 

By choosing me to help you create your Wedding, Handfasting or Naming ceremony, you have the added peace of mind that I will only undertake your ceremony on that day. You will never feel rushed and will have my complete attention for your celebration. 

Before becoming a Celebrant, I served in the Royal Marines Band for 13 years. As a professional musician with a keen interest in literature, I am on hand to offer suggestions for music, readings and poetry if you would like some guidance. I now live in Dorset with Dave, our lovely son George, and Wiggins, a crazy three legged Jack Russell. 


I am a professional singer and cellist; to find out about my availability as a wedding or funeral singer in Dorset, have a look at the 'Music' page for my full music bio and videos.
