About
I have performed over 300 weddings, from small, intimate weddings to venues with over 300 invited guests. Each one is Unique and SPECIAL.
I will perform all weddings, vow renewals, or commitment ceremonies. I'm ordained solely to perform weddings, non-denominational, Christian. Judgement-free. Member of local church.
My services are not my primary income, so I can provide quality service at a lower cost. My fee is based on travel distance from my home, not the size of the wedding. For example: Wallingford: $150
As a veteran, I offer a military discount. Please let me know your military status when you request a quote.

It was very easy going working with Ms Ellie. She understood exactly what we wanted for our special day and gave us just that. It was a peaceful and sweet ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone❤️

Ms. Ellie was absolutely wonderful! Coming onto this platform to look for someone to help us, I felt nervous and unsure. I had read over her bio and felt confident enough to reach out. Getting married was a massive step for me and having the right person to help me navigate this was extremely important. I can say with 1000% confidence Ms. Ellie was above and beyond what I could have expected and hoped for. She helped me figure out everything. I was so unsure of vows, navigating deciding to not have rings, and she even helped to suggest the right location. She provided such comforting words about the ceremony and during it. After talking with my now husband about the event, I shared that Ms. Ellie truly made this wedding for me. To me, God provided her - the right person I needed. The comfort, support, and encouragement she gave matched all that I needed. She was on time, provided great communication, and performed a beautiful ceremony. I know that she will be a meaningful part of what will be an amazing memory for a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to her!

Ms Ellie was very responsive, it was only two days out when I booked her. She is professional, and she is prepared with samples to choose from to enhance your service. If wanted, she was an excellent choice and we had the perfect elopement just us and her.

We chose a rainy day for our wedding. Ellie was willing to wait until it slacked up before proceeding with the ceremony. She was very friendly and did our ceremony beautifully. Thank you again Ellie

We are so grateful we chose Ms Ellie to officiate our wedding! From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and truly focused on creating a Christ-centered ceremony that reflected our values and love story. She wrote us a beautiful script that felt so personal and meaningful, and she made sure every detail was thoughtful and intentional.
It meant so much to us that she’s a retired Air Force veteran, especially since my husband is a newly graduated Marine, it was a special connection that made the day even more meaningful. Her calming presence, sweet spirit, and heartfelt words made our wedding unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to bless our day. Thank you so much Ellie

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a flat fee based on travel distance from my residence (Ft Pierce or Wallingford) to officiate all weddings and vow renewals, or commitment ceremonies. Fees start at $150 for up to 5 miles of travel distance from my home. ** I offer a discount for fellow veterans and those still serving. Please be sure to let me know when you contact me**
I don't charge extra for large venues or adding special ceremonies like Blending of the Sand; I do request that your ceremony starts within 15 minutes of the scheduled time out of courtesy to your guests and me.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a questionnaire that I forward to ensure the ceremony is tailored to each couples expectations. I am totally open to creating the wording to how ever you want, this is YOUR DAY. Once I create the wording, I share it in advance and encourage you to review and make any edits that you like. I don't require a pre-meeting, as I recognize that everyone is busy. However, I am more than willing to chat/text and meet if desired. Day of: I arrive 15 minutes in advance of the scheduled time to review the set-up; perform the ceremony and after the exchange of "I Do's", I complete the license for the court clerk.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have both an undergrad and graduate degree and have taught as an adjunct at the college level for more than 10 years. I am very comfortable with speaking in front of and to people. I am a Florida Notary if you prefer a secular ceremony. I am also ordained to officiate weddings through the Ministry of the Universal Life Church, nondenominational. I am not a Pastor, but I am active in my local church and I am definitely judgment-free.
