Soulful and Story-led Ceremonies by Elissa
I'm Elissa, and I create bespoke Wedding ceremonies that feel unmistakably you – across the UK and beyond.
There are lots of moments in life worth celebrating, but finding your person and declaring your love in front of everyone you both cherish? That’s a moment you’ll remember forever. First and foremost — congratulations. This is so exciting!
Your ceremony is the heart and soul of the day, not the beige bit you politely sit through before the bar opens. Let’s celebrate your story.
Deeply personal - ‘This is so them’
Wedding ceremonies
I create wedding ceremonies that are deeply personal, intentionally written and capture who you and your partner truly are - ceremonies that make people laugh out loud, quietly wipe their eyes, and nudge each other like “This is so them.” Completely unique, completely unforgettable.
Weaving together your history, values, cultures, favourite people, most hilarious moments and heartfelt promises
Together we’ll take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to telling your love story and turning it into something that feels entirely your own. Being trusted with such a significant moment is a privilege I never take lightly.
Wedding ceremonies to fit every shape,
style and vibe
Whether you’re planning a relaxed coastal wedding, an industrial warehouse DIY vibe, an elegant city celebration, a festival style party in a rustic barn, a ceremony in the back of your garden or something else wonderfully untraditional, I’ll create a ceremony that feels full of joy.
your ceremony will be

Confidently led, emotionally rich,
with a touch of wit

Love Notes from couples…
“Anyone planning a wedding: DO NOT HESITATE to hire Elissa as your Wedding Celebrant, she is world class and worth every penny. Elissa was an incredible celebrant, she designed a ceremony that was unique, thoughtful, inclusive, and hilarious.
My partner and I were so nervous about getting married, but we were gobsmacked at how eloquently she told our love story, with so much warmth and character.
She was a joy to work with and really took the time to get to know us, our values, our people and our life together, and her writing and delivery was just perfection. Thank you Elissa, a friend now for life..”
- Steven & Felipe -
“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Elissa – she was truly one of the highlights of our wedding. From the very beginning, she made the whole process feel seamless and personal, taking the time to truly understand us as individuals and as a couple. She struck that rare balance of being warm, funny and deeply meaningful all at once, keeping our guests laughing, tearing up and completely engaged throughout. Nothing felt generic, and so many people commented afterwards on how brilliant she was. We couldn't recommend Elissa more highly – she is exceptionally talented and made our day unforgettable.”
- Meryl & James-
“Couples considering a Wedding Celebrant, RUN, do not walk to Elissa – she is the best in the business and our ceremony (and frankly our wedding full stop) was infinitely better for having her in it as our celebrant. She understood our style and personalities from the word go, put us completely at ease, and made us genuinely excited for our ceremony. On the day, we were completely relaxed knowing she was leading it. She was the best supplier choice we made by a long shot, and we loved every part of working with her.”

A Brighton-based Celebrant,
happy to travel
I’m based in Brighton and regularly work across West Sussex, London and Surrey. I also travel throughout the UK and internationally for destination weddings and naming ceremonies. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will take the time to truly know you — wherever your ceremony takes place — you’re in safe hands.
“Elissa perfectly created the right vibe for our wedding. She did not miss a single beat or detail, we were in stitches one minute and teary the next, it was just incredible. Everyone who attended has since asked for her number.”
— Katie & Alex

Naming ceremonies to welcome, honour and celebrate family
I also create personalised naming ceremonies for babies, children and families — a beautiful, non-religious way to celebrate identity, belonging and love.
Bespoke Songwriting
Occasionally, my work extends beyond ceremony writing into music — creating original songs to honour love stories, new beginnings and meaningful milestones.
Each commission is shaped around a defining moment, and created as a singular piece, to be experienced once, and returned to over time.
You’re in the right place
If you want a ceremony that feels truly special and unmistakably you, you’re exactly where you need to be.
