At least that's what I think he said. That really doesn't imply to me that they were sent from Rivendell, or under Elrond's command. I think it's likely enough that Elrond wished for a message to be sent (which I'm sure Galadriel wouldn't have had a problem with), & so Haldir included it in his greeting. Also, if the Rohirrim did mistrust The Lady of the Wood (& they did), then they might've felt uncomfatable around elves under her command. Hardly something you want when you're out numbered 10,000 to 600. Perhaps that's why Haldir only mentioned Elrond's message, & not that they were sent by Celeborn & Galadriel.
