OVERVIEW

Situated on the Gold Coast, Ryan Black is a fun, thoughtful celebrant and MC with an eye for detail. A "sucker for a good love story", Ryan enjoys crafting tailored ceremonies reflective of his couple's journey, with each magical ceremony balancing fun and emotion. Organised and hardworking, Ryan is the perfect person to tell your love story, with this wonderful celebrant adept at public speaking.

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

December 2022

We cannot speak highly enough of Ryan Black as our wedding celebrant. The care and professionalism Ryan demonstrated for our wedding was well beyond what we expected from our wedding celebrant. From the outset of choosing Ryan as our celebrant, it was clear that Ryan was fully invested in our wedding, his knowledge of the process and the legislation of marriage was extremally high, his guidance on the process was something we both were so grateful for. However, where Ryan out did him self was the day before and the day of the wedding. Ryan met both my future wife and myself separately the afternoon before the wedding to ensure all the finer details of the wedding were gone through so there was no confusion on the day and we were put at ease, this is something we were so grateful for. The day of the wedding, Ryan arrived well before he needed to ensure all guests were directed correctly and ensuring the whole ceremony was seamless. Ryan has exceptional communication skills which made the ceremony professional and also engaging and fun. We can’t thank Ryan enough for facilitating what was an incredible wedding ceremony that we will never forget. Wish we could do it all over again!! Tayla and Paul Lewis

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a positive review. I truly appreciate it. I believe it is a privilege to officiate a couples special day, and therefore take my profession very seriously. Despite that, I like to make the whole process an enjoyable experience from inquiry through to marriage, and I think you have summed this up nicely. Congratulations again on what was an amazing day! I wish you guys nothing but happiness. Big love from my little family to yours.

How to explain our experience with Ryan, it was like having our best mate by our side every step of the way. A laid back chat, a slice of humour, a cup full of professionalism and a lifetime of memories provided to us by his creation of our love story. Highly highly recommend having Ryan as your Celebrant for your big day if you’re looking for someone to make it run smoothly, make you feel comfortable and give your guests an experience they will remember for a life time. Couldn’t thank him enough.

Hey Mr & Mrs Woodrow, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to share your special day! You two were a joy to work with and wish you nothing but happiness in the future. Big love from my little family to yours.

Ryan was absolutely sensational! When we were first looking for a celebrant for our wedding we were looking for someone with a great personality, some one we could vibe with as well as someone who could support us on the biggest day of our lives and Ryan did all of that and so much more! We are so thankful to have had Ryan be apart of our day. He bought our ceremony to life, he made it meaningful with some light humour in there too which was perfect for us! Our guests spoke highly of him and could not stop talking to us about the wonderful job he did for our ceremony. I highly recommend Ryan, he is passionate about his work and will make you feel supported in the lead up to and on your big day.

Where do I start with you two? Thank you so much for choosing me to officiate your ceremony, and MC, for your special day. Your family and friends were so invested with their support and it was an honour to act as an extension of them for the day. I wish you both nothing but happiness. Big love.

Ryan is amazing! He was very helpful and explained the entire ceremony process to us in a way that we understood and guided us through making all the difficult choices. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

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!

Hayley
