OVERVIEW

If you’re on the hunt for a warm, friendly, but professional marriage celebrant to officiate your wedding, you can’t go past Queensland’s Ryan Black. A Gold Coast local, this personable celebrant is exceptional at crafting beautiful wedding ceremonies that are as unique as each of his couples. 

A married man of 20 years, Ryan knows what makes an engaging ceremony: personalisation, confidence, and details, details, details. So first, Ryan will get to know you both over a hot coffee or sneaky wine to discern what makes you a one-of-a-kind couple. Then he’ll craft a fairytale-esque ceremony script that’s both emotional and entertaining - just what you want in a dreamy wedding ceremony.

“Ryan made both my partner and I feel so relaxed and made the whole process so easy. During the ceremony, he made everyone cry with happy tears as well as laugh. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else standing up there on our wedding day. Ryan was super flexible and accommodating with what we wanted our ceremony to look like.” Madison

What you’ll love about working with Ryan Black for your Tweed Heads or Gold Coast wedding:

  • Ryan’s tailored ceremonies. Ryan knows there’s nothing staler than a copy-paste ceremony, which is why he creates custom ceremonies for each of his couples, with each ceremony combining sweet anecdotes, laughter, and - of course - the necessary legal aspects.
  • Ryan feels like an old friend. Ryan is a fun, laidback celebrant with a heart of gold. Charming and caring, he builds genuine relationships with his couples that last well after the ceremony concludes.
  • He can also act as MC. Ryan is known for his positivity and professionalism, two traits he utilises when acting as master of ceremonies for his couples. A charismatic man, Ryan will have your guests engaged and entertained throughout your reception.

Tell us 3+ things your couples love about working with you:

  • I have a relaxed yet professional approach to my work. I can get along with anyone and therefore act as an extension of my clients' friends and family for their wedding day
  • I make genuine connections with my clients to ensure I am able to tailor a ceremony that is truly congruent to them
  • I have a keen eye for detail and work well with other vendors 
  • I continue to build rapport established at the ceremony to the reception when I am engaged to be the master of ceremonies.
  • I like to stay in contact with my couples after their wedding day (should they wish to, of course) because I feel as though we have experienced something special together 

“Ryan made our wedding day so personal and spoke so eloquently. He was accommodating to all of our requests and made our day feel so special. I would recommend him to anyone!” Tomas

Where do we start. 6 Stars for Ryan! We genuinely do not have the words to express how wonderful Ryan was as a celebrant at our wedding. He is 100% born to be a celebrant! His ceremony love story was absolutely brilliant; we love the methods he used leading up to the day, such as having us do separate little voice recordings to send to him to help him construct the perfect version of our love story. Ryan's frequent emailing and phone calls kept us in the loop and up to date at all times. Little touches like the ever-flowing uplifting words Ryan said to us on the wedding day and checking in with both the bride and groom before walking down the aisle are little gestures that significantly eases anxiety....... trust me! Also, the little encouraging words he whispers throughout conducting the ceremony to help keep me......../us calm was beautiful. Ryan even took some pictures on the day and sent them through to us the next night so we could get a little sneak peak of what was to come from the photographer. How amazing!! So many family members and friends came up to us after the wedding and even the next day telling us how much they enjoyed how Ryan conducted the ceremony. Classy, confident and cool. Dressed to impress too! Spectacular. Ryan 100% contributed to making our day so unique, intimate and spectacular! Cheers to you Ryan!

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and MC than Ryan Black for our wedding. From start to finish, he was absolutely incredible. Ryan brought the perfect mix of professionalism and charisma, making every moment feel personal, heartfelt, and smooth. He fit in effortlessly with our family and friends it honestly felt like he was part of the crew. His energy was contagious, his timing was spot on, and he kept the day flowing perfectly while making everyone feel welcome and relaxed. We highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers on every level. Thank you for making our day so memorable, Ryan! Josh & Maria Duce

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very first conversation with Ryan, we just knew—and when we met him in person, it only confirmed what our instincts were already telling us. Ryan is truly one of those rare, phenomenal humans who was born to be a celebrant. He brought such warmth, grace, and authenticity to our wedding that we honestly can’t imagine our day without him. We feel incredibly privileged to have found him. Ryan’s professionalism, attention to detail, and the way he crafted and delivered our Love Story made our ceremony unforgettable. He captured the essence of who we are—not just as individuals, but as a couple—and presented it with such heartfelt sincerity that there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd (and plenty of laughs too!). Because of Ryan, our day wasn’t just “perfect”—it was meaningful, deeply personal, and truly us. Every guest commented on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was, and many have since told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We had the BEST day and night of our lives, and now it looks like we’ll be celebrating our anniversary every year with our family and friends in what has become everyone’s new favourite holiday destination. A celebration that started with love and laughter has turned into a new tradition—and Ryan, you were at the heart of it all. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you! We are eternally grateful to have met you, let alone married us! If you’re lucky enough to have Ryan as your celebrant, know this—you’re in the very best hands!

Your warmth, your love for each other, and your incredible circle of family and friends made it truly unforgettable for all of us. I feel honoured to have played a part in your story, and I can honestly say that your ceremony will remain etched in my memory. Moments like these remind me exactly why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me to bring your love story to life. Your day was full of joy, authenticity, and connection, and I’m so thrilled to hear it’s become the start of a new tradition for you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your beautiful words and for letting me share in such a meaningful chapter of your lives. Wishing you endless love and laughter as you continue to celebrate this new tradition together. Big love.

Just awesome! From the first meeting to the signing of our certificate, Ryan went above and beyond to ensure a smooth process. Ryan created such a personalized ceremony for us, and always made us feel special, and comfortable. I would highly recommend Ryan to friends, family and any one looking for a fun, attentive celebrant or MC!

Ryan is an absolute legend and it was a pleasure to have him officiate our wedding! He took the time to get to know my partner and I, and that was reflected in everything he said on the day. He perfectly matched our vibe and made us feel calm and relaxed that we were in good hands. Having Ryan at our wedding felt like a long time friend was helping us tie the knot. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Liam and Jasmin, Thank you so much for this incredible review! From the moment we first spoke, I knew your day was going to be special. It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and shaping a ceremony that truly reflected your connection, your vibe, and your love. You made my job so easy… your warmth, humour, and love for each other made it a joy to stand up there with you. It felt like I was watching two good mates say “I do.” Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and epic memories. Big love to you both!

How can I tell my sister her kids aren't invited to our wedding?

Hi there. We don't want to have kids at our wedding, but I also don't want to offend my sister. I adore my nieces but we want a particular vibe at our wedding. Any suggestions?

Ryan Black

This is a great question. Firstly, congratulations on deciding what you want on your special day!

Your wedding day is one of the few times in your life where you get to dictate exactly what you want. If you're wanting a certain vibe, and feel that it will be achieved without children attending, then that is all you need to say. Honesty is key. Tell her that you both want for everyone to be truly present throughout the ceremomy and feel that it can best be achieved without the possible distraction of children. Whether they be hers, or someone else's. 

I am an extremely proud parent, and absolutely love my kids, but trust me when I say that my wife and I love nothing more than going to a wedding kid free. It is an opportunity to let your hair down and have a great time. You may find that your sister will be more than supportive of your decision. 

I hope this helps. Happy planning and I wish you an awesome wedding day!
