MEET ELLIE ...

Welcome to Sunshine Weddings, where passion meets perfection in crafting your dream day. I’m the heart & soul behind this venture, infusing every celebration with heartfelt dedication and a commitment to exceeding expectations.

Originally from the UK, my journey towards creating exceptional weddings was shaped by my time honing an impeccable eye for detail while working on board private motor yachts in the Caribbean. This experience instilled in me the dedication that now defines every aspect of my work, delivering unforgettable experiences.

Welcome to Sunshine Weddings, where passion meets perfection in crafting your dream day. I’m the heart & soul behind this venture, infusing every celebration with heartfelt dedication and a commitment to exceeding expectations.

As a proud mum, I bring warmth and nurturing care to each event I undertake, treating it as if it were my own. My specialty lies in creating opulent and romantic tablescapes, turning moments into cherished memories. When I’m not orchestrating unforgettable weddings, you’ll likely find me indulging in my favourites: a comforting cup of Earl Grey tea, a glass of Pinot Noir, or some cheeky chocolate. I’ve always been drawn to the ocean, on it or in it, is my zen.

Rest assured, I’m always on the move—never one to stay still. My dedication to creating unforgettable celebrations is matched only by my passion for ensuring your wedding day surpasses your wildest dreams. At Sunshine Weddings, love is the guiding force behind every detail, & I can’t wait to bring your dream celebration to reality.

Seriously though, getting to create one-of-a-kind statement pieces like this backdrop for my couples will never feel normal. It’s the biggest compliment, and I get just as excited every single time.

Definitely one of those “I can’t believe this is my job” moments.

5 things no one tells you before you skip a wedding planner 👇

1️⃣ Your budget doesn’t creep because you’re careless — it creeps because no one shows you the invisible costs until they hit.

2️⃣ Your guest list has feelings. Seating charts, blended families, plus-ones — someone needs to be the buffer, and it shouldn’t be you.

3️⃣ Pinterest gave you the vision. It didn’t give you the supply chain to actually build it.

4️⃣ You only get one day to be a guest at your own wedding. Without a planner, you’re managing it, not living it.

5️⃣ The real cost of “saving money” by skipping a planner is the mistake you don’t see coming until it’s already happened.

A good planner doesn’t cost you more. They’re the reason nothing costs you more than it should.

Planning a Sunshine Coast, Noosa or Hinterland wedding? This is what I do all day, every day and I know exactly how to turn your wedding planning into a stress-free experience you will enjoy.
