About ELLA
hello lovers.....
ELLA GANNON
Brisbane, Toowoomba, Gold Coast QLD
Modern, fun and vivacious full-time Registered Marriage Celebrant + MC since 2018.
Have you ever had that feeling that you are meant to be doing something? Well that’s how I feel about being a Celebrant!
I’m not an artist, I cannot draw or paint. I’m not great at technology (sometimes), I’m an average cook and don’t really bake. But my creative trick is I can write, I can put words together. My imagination doesn’t stretch to a book but in short, simple pieces – like a ceremony, just for you. Helping you find the right words to say when you want to say 'I do'.
Seeing two people, such as yourselves fall in love, and wanting to spend the rest of your life with them, and declare your love for one another through marriage is one of life’s greatest, and simplest pleasures!
I don’t think I will ever get sick of two people standing there, telling each other how much they mean to one another, how much they love each other, care for each other and support each other. Truth be told it’s the best part of the whole day.
I was born in 88, live in Brisbane, drink long black coffee, my wine of choice is Shiraz.
I love earrings and my music taste resembles a broken juke box.
I love meeting new people and could talk under water matched by my incredible memory and listening skills. That sums me up.
My purpose though, is to get to know you!
I want to hear all about how you met, what your most memorable moment was, the quirks that bring you together and how you complement one another.
I’ll take all of those words and put them together to form a memorable, joyous and most importantly fun ceremony!

Q: WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT CELEBRANTING?
A: I do enjoy a good cup of coffee, so you will see my daily at my local haunt getting my caffeine fix, but if I’m not working on a wedding, I’m managing the daily chaos of being a girl mum, and singing a lot of car pool karaoke with them. As well as trying to work my way through my ever growing bucket list of things we want to see, do and experience!
I’m also a bit of a competition geek, and have been known to win a few things from time to time.

Q: TELL US ABOUT YOUR EARLIER YEARS?
A: Pre-Children you would find me at a pool, or in a gym, or training for a fun run, fun triathlon, social sporting event etc etc etc. I hung up the competitive side of my sporting endeavours when I hit 20 and other things started calling my soul.
