About

I became a celebrant after having my own great experience when I was a bride in 2012. I wanted something very simple and was fairly headstrong about keeping it short and sweet. It wasn't until afterwards that I realised how lucky I was to get a celebrant who just listened to what I wanted even if it bucked the trend. She inspired me to give other couples the same experience and I strive to provide my clients with a guiding hand and a listening ear to achieve the ceremony of their dreams!

FAQ

You can enquire at any stage of wedding planning but couples usually book the venue first then contact the other suppliers including celebrants. Your celebrant will need to reserve a date for you so that's usually done once the venue is chosen. Your celebrant will need at least one month's notice before your wedding date so best not to leave it to the last minute.

My fee includes:

  • Initial consultation
  • Filling out and lodgement of legal documents
  • Unique ceremony that reflects you as a couple
  • Sample ceremonies and readings/poems for inspiration
  • Free rehearsal ceremony
  • Conduct ceremony on the day
  • Copy of ceremony and ceremonial certificate
  • Use of PA system

I travel anywhere in the greater Brisbane and Gold Coast regions without any additional cost. I certainly travel outside of these areas and charge a modest travel fee in this case. 

There are only 2 compulsory components that need to be said during your ceremony so the rest is completely up to your imagination! I can certainly make suggestions for alternatives and work with you to come up with something unique and memorable. 

Not at all. No part of the cermony needs to be memorised by you. Everything is written down and I usually give the option to my couples to either read straight off the page or I can feed the words to you quietly. We can always do a rehearsal sometime before the day so you would know how the ceremony will flow.

My husband Jerad and i think Tusa is a fantastic celebrant. She listened to our very simple wishes and designed the most perfect ceremony for us. It was short and sweet as we requested. During the planning, she was outgoing, funny and very knowledgable, which helped to put our minds at ease and made the day so much less nerve recking. Our guest also commented on how lovely she was when greeting them at the chapel. We really appreciated having Tusa as our celebrant. Thank you so much Tusa 😀

Oh thank you so much Corine! You and Jerad were so positive about the whole process which made my job very easy. You both pulled off a wonderful day and I was so glad I got to be a part of it. Congratulations once again!!

Tusa was so easy to deal with the entire time we were planning our ceremony. We both loved her as soon as we met her, and knew she had the right warmth and personality to make our wedding perfect. Tusa put a lot of thought and effort into writing the ceremony, and it was not an issue for her when I asked for minor edits to be made. I am so pleased that we chose Tusa to be our celebrant, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a personable, approachable and reliable marriage celebrant.

Tusa did such an amazing job at our wedding. She created and delivered the most perfect ceremony, it was exactly what we wanted. Everyone had commented on how low key and relaxed our ceremony was and I had guests specifically mention what a wonderful job Tusa did. We highly recommend her.

Thanks so much Cheri! I'm so glad your ceremony was exactly what you wanted. It truly was a wonderful ceremony to be a part of. It was especially touching to see how delighted your family was to be involved with the ring warming ceremony. It was a pleasure being your celebrant!

October 2023

Tusa was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and supportive throughout the entire process and we felt so comfortable with her, she definitely calmed our nerves!! I cannot recommend her enough, she completely tailored our ceremony to suit us, our guests loved her and we loved her!

Tusa did an incredible job with our ceremony. From the begining she was extremely pro-active and flexible working around our schedules to meet in her home office. Once the paperwork was finalised we were able to tell her stories and anecdotes from our relationship that she used to personalise our ceremony and vows. She wrote the perfect ceremony for us. It was exactly what we asked for, and we were able to edit it with her to refine it until it was perfect. Leading up to the day she stepped us through the ceremony and was extremely flexible with our requests and the overall vision we had for the day. On the day she was a welcoming and calm presence for us and did an amazing job officiating the ceremony itself. She submitted our paperwork very quickly after our wedding as well. We highly recommend Tusa.

Do celebrants come with marriage documents and how early can I file them after the wedding?

I was wondering if marriage celebrants usually come with their own marriage documents included in their package? Also, is there a timeframe of when I should file my marriage documents after the wedding? How early is too early/how long can I wait? Thanks!

Ceremonies by Tusa

Hi Cindy. Your marriage celebrant will provide the documents required for your marriage and you will generally fill them out together so there's no need for you to source any of your own forms. Seeing as your wedding is just over one year away you can most certainly start filling out forms now if you so wish. The initial form (Notice of Intended Marriage) must be filled out at least one month before your wedding date though but you look quite organised so I'm sure you won't wait until then. Happy wedding planning and please let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.
