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

Ryan was the celebrant and mc at our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend anyone more. He handled the entire night exceptionally and made sure my husband and I were happy and comfortable the entire time. Most of my guests went out of their way to tell me how amazing he was, and how charismatic he was. If I could rate 10 stars, I absolutely would.

Wow, thank you so much for such an awesome review. It was an absolute pleasure to celebrate with you both and to be trusted not only with your ceremony, but also with helping guide the entire evening as your MC. Knowing that you felt happy, comfortable, and able to simply enjoy the day means the world to me. That is what it’s all about. I'm stoked to hear that your guests went out of their way to share such kind feedback. Creating an experience that feels personal, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone is always the goal. So hearing that is very rewarding. Thank you again for your trust, your support, and for taking the time to leave such a generous review. If Google ever introduces a 10-star option, I'll be sure to hold you to it! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. Big love.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. From the very beginning, Ryan took the time to truly get to know us, asking thoughtful questions and really understanding who we are and how we wanted our story to be told. What stood out most was how perfectly he captured our energy and vibe. Ryan shared our story in a way that felt completely authentic, balancing heartfelt sentiment with lightness, humour, and fun. There was just the right amount of romance and depth, without ever feeling cliché. On the day, he was everything we hoped for and more: professional, well-presented, and incredibly calming. He guided us seamlessly through the ceremony, making the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. We’re so grateful for the care, attention, and intention Ryan brought to such an important moment in our lives. We couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you Ryan!! From a very happy married couple

Thank you both so much for the kind words. You guys were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Not only was it a privilege to celebrate such a special moment with you, but I genuinely had a blast spending time with you, your family, and your friends. You made me feel less like a supplier and more like part of the crew, which is something I'll always appreciate. Thank you for trusting me with your story and for being so welcoming, relaxed, and easy-going throughout the whole journey. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world and plenty of good times ahead!

June 2026

We could not have asked for a better celebrant than Ryan. From the very beginning, Ryan was professional, absolutely full of knowledge, relaxed, and just a dream to work with. He told our story so incredibly well, with lots of laughs and full of love. Ryan went above and beyond at every step of the way, even sharing photos and videos with us the next morning while we wait for our professional photos. He made the day so relaxed and brought the best vibes, my mind was at ease the whole day knowing Ryan was all over everything. I can’t thank him enough for being a part of our special day!!

Ryan our celebrant was genuine and made the whole ceremony feel so personal. Ryan took the time to get to know us beforehand and crafted a service that truly reflected our story and personalities. Ryan's calm presence on the day helped settle any nerves and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We had so many guests comment on how heartfelt and relaxed the ceremony was, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Ryan to anyone wanting a ceremony that feels uniquely theirs.

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 & 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!
