ELLIE THOMAS

CELEBRANT & MC

Hi, I’m Ellita but please call me Ellie.

I’m a professional and passionate wedding celebrant as well as an enthusiastic party starting master of ceremonies. After many years as a wedding planner I became a celebrant in 2019 and absolutely love the role I’m privileged to play in your big day. I listen to what’s important to you, I know how to ensure you get great wedding photos, and I can keep you calm if there are any last minute changes of plan! And got kids? I’m a mum too, so I understand kids and how to get the best out of them on your wedding day.

Having lived in Queenstown, Wanaka and now Cromwell I know the beautiful Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago regions very well. I can help you seek out great locations for both your wedding ceremony and wedding photos and love a good road trip to discover new secret spots.

I am a lover of all things action and adventure, so if you’re keen for a heli-wedding, jet boat wedding, or even a sky dive wedding I’m game! And your ceremony is in good hands as I love to write and share your story. In a past life I worked as a ghost writer and one day aim to write a book.

Anyway, your wedding day is not about me, it’s all about you! I can’t wait to hear your story and put it into words in your wedding ceremony. If you’re looking for a celebrant who can keep it real and have some fun I’d love to chat.
