"Teresa will make you feel like you have known her for years. She is kind, empathetic and above all, passionate about what she does. Leading up to our wedding, my wife and I faced a number of challenges with the wedding coordinator of our venue. Teresa went above and beyond to lend an ear, provide advice and even took over a bit of liaison on the day to ensure everything went as planned. She had our back all day.

The wedding service itself was incredible. Teresa listened to what we wanted in the ceremony, and the delivery of our stories absolutely blew us away. We were overjoyed with how she recounted our story of falling in love and getting to that moment. Our families and friends were so happy with the presence Teresa brought to our special day." — Gemma & Margot

Tyson & Carissa Hubbard

We have known Teresa for many years and immediately thought of her to be our Celebrant.  We were thrilled she was available and accepted.  We really enjoyed sharing this life changing moment with her.

Teresa is such a beautiful soul and is amazing at everything she does.  As our Celebrant, we cannot thank her enough for not only travelling to Beechworth for our wedding but also for putting together an absolutely beautiful ceremony making both our parents shed many tears of joy.

Both Tyson and I along with family would most certainly recommend Teresa for any occasion.  Many thanks again Teresa.

With love, Tyson & Carissa Hubbard.

Leigh & Simone,

My husband and I chose Teresa to be our Celebrant as she was highly recommended.  She certainly didn't disappoint.  She has a warmth behind her and made me feel at ease making my choices in regards to the type of ceremony we wished for.

With an outpouring of love and warmth she felt like she was part of our immediate family.  At the time of the rehearsal Teresa made it seemless, taking all the stress of our shoulders helping everyone to understand their role on the day.

On the day itself everyone was calm.  The way Teresa had set up and supplied her backdrops was beautiful, this being at no additional charge.  When I arrived to walk the aisle she made me feel at peace with my surroundings, no nerves, just love.

Her professionalism, her warmth and caring disposition was not only for myself but also for my husband and my children who all took part in the ceremony.

Teresa, Leroy and I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us during the times we spent together, even postponing three times due to covid.  You have been nothing short of amazing and you made our special day beautiful.

Thank you, amazing Celebrant.

Father of the Bride Testimonial

for Jacob & Kayla Kavanagh

Hi Teresa,

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping make my daughter's wedding a great day!

When the rain set in 10 minutes before the ceremony it could quite easily have been a disaster but you gave great direction to the groom and the guests in getting them to move inside the venue at such short notice.

Then, you carried all your gear upstairs and set up a beautiful setting that created a magical intimate feeling tjat made the ceremony very special to us all.

I doubt other celebrants would have gone the extra mile you did on that day and it's because of you and your efforts we had the most wonderful wedding regardless of the elements that threatened to ruin my daughters special day.

From all of our family and our new extended family, I would like to sincerely say ......Thank You!

Kind regards,

Paul Lavars

FAQ

Yes, If the wedding is local to Echuca and surrounds, I have back-up celebrants to take my place.  Should it be a distance wedding I can make arrangements for a back-up also.

Absolutely!  If you are confident they can do the ceremony or a reading then by all means.  As long as I do the official and legal wording there is no problem.

I am open to themed weddings and any ritual you wish to include. Definitely LGBTQ1A+ Your ceremony can be religious or secular. 

Definitely yes.  This is generally done the day before at a time to suit you.  If a distance wedding, I will be there the day prior to the wedding.

You will require two witnesses and both are required by law to be over the age of 18.  This can be anyone of choice, family or friends.

The bride/groom in the event of changing their name MUST sign their maiden name on the documents.  Once the marriage has been registered with Births, Deaths & Marriages and you have your official certificate, you can then sign your married name.

My packages begin with a Elopements & Legals only Ceremony which is similar to a Registry Office wedding. This is an intimate ceremony, just the two of you with two witnesses at a venue of your choice or my garden.  I can also arrange witnesses for you if it is just the two of you.

We can then go to Micro & Intimate which is perfect if you want something warm, personal and a little low-key.  Usually around 30 guests

Bespoke being the full celebration. A big ceremony that tells your love story and includes all your unique scripting, legals, lodgements, step by step guidance, rehearsal, constant contact either by mobile or emails. You can request me to be there for the day if you prefer.

I have an audible PA system with microphones and this is connected to Bluetooth/USB so your chosen music is easily played.  You will need to source your own songs and organise a guest to take charge for this part.

My signing table and chairs are white wrought iron. 

You are also able to utilise my backdrops, floral arrangements and drapery at no charge.  I set up and take down for you.

If I am setting up for you which includes backdrops etc. I arrive in the morning of the wedding or the day prior to.  If my time is for the ceremony only I still make sure that I arrive at least 1 hour prior to the wedding.  I introduce myself and greet your guests ensuring they are seated appropriately, especially the elderly and/or hard of hearing.

I have white umbrellas in the event of inclement weather.

Firstly, we need the Notice of Intended Marriage 31 days prior to your special day or can be within an 8 month period prior to. This is a legal requirement by law. This NOIM is witnessed in my presence.

The documents are:-  Birth Certificates, Driver's Licences, Passports if available.  We only require two original identification papers.

Should your birth certificate not be available you are able to supply a "Statutory Declaration" signed by a Justice of the Peace explaining the situation.

In the case of couples/individuals being previously married I will need to sight your Final Divorce order.

Within a 50km radius of Echuca there is no charge.

eg. to travel from Echuca to Melbourne (Botanical Gardens) and return, my charge is $200 additional to the ceremony charge.  eg. Swan Hill would be the same charge.  (200km)

Travel costs by arrangement and according to distance.

Where can I get a notice of intended marriage form?

Is this something that I have to find myself?

Teresa Carlson - Celebrancy for all Occasions

You will be able to access a NOIM either from the Attorney Generals' website or from any marriage Celebrant.

The NOIM form must be completed within 30 days of the planned wedding date but I have a personal folder I give you on our first meeting with all the documents required. You will also receive a checklist which is a little gold mine of info.

Fun celebrants?

Looking for someone who can make our wedding unique and a bit more fun!

Teresa Carlson - Celebrancy for all Occasions

I am definitely open to themed weddings which can be so much fun.  I am a great listener and having run events for a number of years now am well versed in any area.  Your wedding is your day and yours alone, its exactly the way you want it to be without question,

Your wedding will last the one day however memories we create together will last forever.  Writing your own vows are always fun, I don't think over the years, I have never been disappointed in the humour therein.  

Let your imagination run wild!  Especially towards the announcement of Husband and Wife, the last wedding that I officiated at saw the bride waiting for her chosen music and unbeknowns to her, her fiance has changed it to an outrageous tune which saw them dancing together back through the crowds.  The look on her face was priceless but soon changed to a delighted bride and a delighted crowd.

What does marriage celebrant do?

Teresa Carlson - Celebrancy for all Occasions

A good marriage Celebrant takes all the stress out of your day.  I fulfil all your obligations with legal paperwork, register your wedding, have as many meetups as required and include all emails and phone calls.  As I have run events for the past 20 years I am well versed with rehearsals which I include generally the week prior by preference.

Your scipting of the wedding can be redone and redone until you are happy with the result.  It will not offend me if you change anything at all. I offer an Order of Ceremony attached to your script and your script shows and explains exactly where responses are required.

I greet your guests and after conferring with you will seat them respectively.  e.g. elderly, hearing impaired etc.
