Ryan Black

Celebrant · MC · Wordsmith Good with words. Better with people.

Known amongst mates as "The Wordsmith" — not another "we'll tell your story" celebrant pitch. Ryan writes every ceremony from scratch, MC's the reception himself, and usually ends up a mate of yours by the end of it.

Not the usual "your story" spiel

Every celebrant promises to tell your story. Here's what that actually looks like with Ryan.

01

The vibe check.

A relaxed video call from the comfort of your own home — grab a coffee or a beer and settle in.

02

That calm, unhurried energy.

A surfer's temperament — steady, unhurried, hard to rattle. Past couples mention it again and again.

03

Every word, actually yours.

Known amongst mates as "The Wordsmith." Every ceremony is written from scratch.

04

Friends by the reception.

Most couples end up staying in touch long after the big day.

“Ryan captured our love story and delivered it perfectly.“
