Ryan Black | Celebrant & MC
OVERVIEW
GOOD WITH WORDS. BETTER WITH PEOPLE.
Hey, I’m Ryan. Marriage Celebrant, Master of Ceremonies and Wordsmith.
Based on the Gold Coast, I create personalised wedding ceremonies and host receptions across Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW, including the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and regional Queensland.
My approach is pretty simple. Your wedding should feel like YOU.
Not a performance. Not a production. And definitely not a ceremony that sounds like it could belong to the couple getting married next weekend.
I’m all about creating an experience that’s relaxed, genuine, engaging and full of personality. One that celebrates who you are as individuals, what makes you brilliant together, and the people who’ve helped shape your story along the way.
A LITTLE BIT OF HEART. A LITTLE BIT OF HUMOUR. A WHOLE LOT OF YOU.
I love a good laugh, but I also know when to let a moment breathe.
Whether your ceremony calls for plenty of laughs, a few happy tears, or something beautifully understated, I’ll work with you to find that balance.
No awkward moments. No unnecessary fluff. Just a ceremony that feels natural, meaningful and genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved.
And when it comes to telling your story, I take the time to get to know you properly. Not just how you met or who proposed, but the little things that make your relationship what it is.
Because those are often the things that make the best stories.
NEED SOMEONE TO RUN THE SHOW AFTERWARDS?
That’s where my Master of Ceremonies services come in.
As your MC, I’m there to keep the reception running smoothly, the energy flowing and everyone feeling comfortable.
I’ll work alongside your venue and fellow wedding suppliers, help manage the formalities, and make sure the day unfolds naturally without you having to worry about what’s happening next.
Professional when it matters. Relaxed when it doesn’t. And always ready to read the room.
Whether you book me as your celebrant, your MC, or both, my goal remains the same: to help create an incredible experience for you and your guests.
LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD HAPPEN.
If you’re looking for someone who’s professional without being stuffy, relaxed without being complacent, and genuinely invested in making your wedding bloody brilliant, I’d love to hear from you.
Send me an enquiry, tell me a little about yourselves, and we’ll take it from there.
About
I’m Ryan. Husband, dad of two boys, Marriage Celebrant, MC and a bloke who genuinely loves what he does. Since becoming a celebrant in 2019, I’ve shared some incredible moments with couples and their families. For me, it’s always been about people. Hearing their stories, sharing a laugh and creating lasting memories. I take the responsibility seriously, but the process should be relaxed and fun. It’s a privilege I never take for granted. Good with words. Better with people.

Mr & Mrs Cox, Thank you so much. Absolutely loved being part of your day. You two were honestly such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. So much fun, so chilled, and so trusting of me to just do my thing. And I have to give a special mention Ant who was genuinely invested in the whole process… always makes my job even better! It was an absolute privilege to be trusted with both the ceremony and the MC duties and to see the whole day through with you. Thanks again for having me along for the ride. Bloody awesome couple, bloody awesome day! Big love.

Get Expert AdviceHow 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 | Celebrant & MC
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!

Mr & Mrs Princi, Wow… what a review! Thank you both so much for such incredibly kind words. It genuinely means a lot. You two were an absolute joy to work with, and I can't tell you how much I appreciated the trust you placed in me throughout the entire process. But what I loved just as much was how invested you both were in it all. You genuinely embraced the opportunity to create something that was uniquely yours, and I think that made all the difference. Getting to know you both, sharing a few laughs along the way, and then bringing it all together on the day was such a privilege. And knowing that your ceremony resonated with not only you two, but your family and friends as well, is honestly one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Thank you again for allowing me to play a part in your day. You're both absolute legends, and I wish you and your beautiful family all the very best for everything that lies ahead. Big love.
