Bec Cawood

Heya! I'm Ellen.

Originally from a small town in Central West NSW, I packed up and made the move to the Sunshine Coast with my now-fiancé Tom in 2018. Since then, we’ve built a pretty lovely little life together, welcomed our baby girl and settled very comfortably into coastal life.

I come from a big family, so I’m no stranger to a little chaos, a lot of love and a house full of people, and honestly, I thrive on it.

I might be new to the celebrant scene, but I’m certainly not new to celebrating life’s big moments. For me, being your celebrant is about bringing the vibe, calming the nerves, telling your story, keeping things moving and making sure you actually enjoy the experience.

Because choosing a celebrant is a bit like dating! you’ve got to find someone who gets you.

So if you’re after someone who’ll guide you through the nitty-gritty, hype you up, have a laugh and probably become a little too invested in whatever you’re celebrating...

Hi! I might be your girl.

Creating memorable moments that last a lifetime.

Welcome to Say I Do Celebrancy!

Cocktail Hour Chats Video Guestbook

A fun, modern twist on the traditional guestbook! While you’re off having photos, Monica and myself will host Cocktail Hour Chats with your guests capturing heartfelt and funny video messages you’ll love looking back on!

I’m also part of the Mackay & Whitsundays Elopements team a collective of celebrants, photographers, stylists and local venues working together to bring you a complete, all-in-one elopement experience.

Hello, I'm Brad, the celebrant behind Celebrade.

I believe every wedding should be personal, meaningful and a true reflection of the couple at its heart. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony with a handful of guests or a larger celebration surrounded by family and friends, I'll work with you to create a ceremony that feels authentic, relaxed and memorable.

Based in Brisbane and available throughout South East Queensland, I provide a professional and supportive experience from our first conversation through to your wedding day. I'll guide you through the legal requirements, prepare your personalised ceremony and ensure everything runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment.

Couples often describe me as calm, approachable and organised. My aim is to make the process simple, stress-free and enjoyable while delivering a ceremony that you and your guests will remember for years to come.

What couples say:

"Brad made the entire process easy from start to finish. His calm and professional approach helped us feel relaxed and confident, and the ceremony reflected us perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant."

At Celebrade, I believe it's not the size of the wedding that matters, but the love, commitment and connection being celebrated.

I'd be honoured to help you create a ceremony that celebrates your story and the beginning of your next chapter together.
