Based in Sydney, I have a ton of experience crafting personalised wedding ceremonies for a diverse array of couples, taking into account their individual personalities, requests for special readings, I work hard to customise every ceremony I have the pleasure of writing, perfectly capturing the essence of each unique and individual relationship.
Whatever mood or tone you’d like to set for your wedding, the ceremony is the place to do it....and I have the qualities and creative flair to make your ceremony, uniquely you. During our first chat together (usually on Zoom/free one-hour consultation) we will discuss the type of day you envisage; formal and sophisticated, quirky and full of laughter or sweet and sentimental. Whatever you’re looking for, I will ensure your vision comes to life.
What you’ll love about working with me (Shannon Black Celebrant) is:
- My personalised ceremonies. There are no stock-standard ceremonies here; I get to know my couples personally to accurately capture your unique love story.
- My calm personality. Weddings are stressful, but your celebrant shouldn’t be. My naturally calm and reassuring manner will ensure you walk down the aisle with confidence. I have a psychotherapy degree, too so I know how to keep you present and in the moment so you enjoy every moment of your celebration.

What previous clients are saying about my service - Shannon Black Celebrant:
“Shannon was calm and helpful from the get-go; he helped me through so many of the steps that I had no idea about and was fantastic speaking at our ceremony! The passage he wrote for our ceremony was tailored specifically to us and our lives. He made a huge effort to customise the ceremony he performed for us and gave us the wedding we had always hoped for. He asked for and got our approval at each step. I highly recommend his services for anyone wanting a calm, helpful and creative celebrant!” - Avril S.
