Brayden Wedd marrying a couple on a clifftop above the ocean

Meet Brayden

From Australian clifftops to North London.

Brayden started out writing and delivering weddings in Australia, then brought the same approach with him to London: easy-going on the surface, carefully planned underneath.

He doesn’t use templates. There’s no filler, no generic lines, and no wedding waffle unless you actually want it. The aim is simple: a ceremony people stay with, where the funny bits get laughs because they’re true, and the sincere bits land without making anyone cringe.

Guests often assume Brayden is an old friend. That is sort of the point.

What he does

Celebrant, MC, or both.

Brayden Wedd marrying a couple at a garden ceremony between floral plinths

Wedding ceremonies

It starts with a questionnaire and a proper planning call. Brayden writes a full draft, you tell him what sounds like you and what doesn’t, and he refines it until the final version reads like the two of you. As long as it takes.

Master of ceremonies

Someone has to run the evening, and it shouldn’t be either of you. Brayden introduces the speeches, keeps timings honest with the kitchen and the photographer, and stays off the mic when it isn’t needed. As Isabella put it, “he had us all in stitches whilst wrangling other speakers.”

Elopements & vow renewals

For two people on a clifftop or twenty in a back garden. Short notice is fine: Sarah and her partner decided to marry with about a week to spare, and by the end of the day, guests were asking if Brayden was one of their mates.

How it works

No drama. Promise.

01
A quick chat
A short call to talk through your plans, check the date, and see whether you get on. No obligation on either side.
02
Your story, gathered
A questionnaire and a planning call. This is where the material comes from: how you met, and the stories your friends already tell about you.
03
A draft you can react to
Brayden writes the whole ceremony and sends it over. You mark up anything that doesn’t sound like you, and he redrafts until it does.
04
A smooth day
Brayden arrives early, briefs the right people, and gives your suppliers a ceremony plan with timings. If something runs late, he adjusts and nobody notices.

Kind words

“He took the time to really get to know us, which showed so clearly in the way he crafted and delivered our ceremony. It felt completely us.”
Kayla

“Brayden was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding celebrant and more. From our first meeting, he was warm, professional, organised and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. He took the time to really get to know us, which showed so clearly in the way he crafted and delivered our ceremony. It felt completely us. Brayden guided us through every step of the process with ease, handled all the legal details seamlessly, and was always available for questions or reassurance. On the day, his calm presence and confident delivery set the tone perfectly and allowed everything to flow effortlessly. So many of our guests commented on how heartfelt, engaging and beautifully delivered the ceremony was. We are beyond grateful to have had Brayden as such a special part of our wedding day and cannot recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for an exceptional celebrant.”
Kayla
“Brayden reinstated our faith that you can have a wedding that’s heartfelt and meaningful without it being a staged affair, if that’s what you’re looking for. Despite the last minute request (deciding maybe a week or so prior that we were going to get married) Brayden brought a calm, easygoing vibe. He made us feel like ourselves and gave us the space to do things our way, which was exactly what we wanted. On the day, so many of our friends and family asked if we were mates with the person who married us. That’s the kind of vibe Brayden brings: effortless, understated, genuine, and truly lovely all around. Thanks again, Brayden.”
Sarah
“We couldn’t recommend Brayden enough! He was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure our day ran seamlessly. Being the celebrant and emcee for our wedding, he made sure everything went to plan and the atmosphere was always fun and relaxed. From the pre-wedding questionnaires to practice runs and check-ins, he was always available and aimed to make the ceremony speech as personal as possible. He was professional the whole way through but also calm and fun, which made us feel so comfortable. Throughout the evening as our emcee, he had us all in stitches whilst wrangling other speakers and keeping everything running behind the scenes. We had the best day and Brayden played such a big role in making that happen!”
Isabella
“Brayden was absolutely outstanding as the celebrant at our son’s wedding. From our first interaction he was professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to making the ceremony a true reflection of the couple’s love story. He took the time to get to know the bride and groom, crafting a ceremony that was heartfelt, meaningful, and filled with personal touches that resonated with everyone present. On the day he delivered it flawlessly. His calm presence and ability to strike the perfect balance between emotion and humour created a beautiful atmosphere our family and guests will remember for years. We highly recommend Brayden to anyone looking for a celebrant who truly goes above and beyond.”
Allison & Mick · Groom’s parents
“Brayden went above and beyond in every aspect as our wedding celebrant. We joked that he was basically our wedding planner by his efforts with all involved in the ceremony! He really did make us feel well looked after and organised leading up to the wedding and on our special day. The way he used our story to write the script for the ceremony was beautifully personal and impressive, and many guests commended him on this. We could not recommend Wed by Wedd enough. Thank you Brayden!”
Jessica
“From the very beginning, Brayden made the entire process feel warm, personal and stress free! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that was heartfelt, genuine and perfectly reflective of our relationship. Brayden’s professionalism and calm presence helped settle our nerves on the big day. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about making their ceremony unforgettable.”
Josh & Annie
“Brayden was awesome as our celebrant. He made the whole process really easy and took a lot of stress out of it for us. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Relaxed and personal and not too over the top. He did a great job telling our story and a lot of people said afterwards how good the ceremony was. He was calm, on top of everything and easy to deal with the whole way through. On the day, everything ran smoothly and we always felt like we were in good hands. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
Danny
“As the mother of the bride, your daughter’s wedding day can be a stressful time. An outdoor venue and unreliable spring weather added to the mix, but Brayden made the day run smoothly and ensured a stress-free experience. The wedding was beautiful and emotional and humorous, exactly as my daughter had wanted it. The occasion was relaxed and fun and Brayden kept it all on track, including being the emcee for the evening. His lovely words and inclusion of everyone present helped make the perfect wedding. We were so thankful for his professionalism while still letting the event flow. Would highly recommend Wed by Wedd.”
Somprom & John · Bride’s parents
“Brayden did an excellent job providing MC and celebrant services. Coming up to the wedding he was very supportive in helping us put everything together, and accommodated all our little extra details, which made it feel extra special. On the day the flow and timings were perfect and he adapted well to slight delays with photography. He made us feel like we could actually sit back and enjoy the wedding, which I think is incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Brayden!”
Lee
“Looking back, our wedding day was all the sweeter knowing that we were lucky enough to have Brayden as our celebrant. He took the time to ensure that we were made to feel seen and understood, and completely captured our respect and love for one another in a way I really don’t think anyone else could have done. He struck the perfect balance with his professionalism and kindness, and created an atmosphere that made us and our guests feel at ease. We couldn’t recommend Brayden more to stand beside you and your loved one as you take the next step in your relationship!”
Jess
“Thank you so much for everything! You were a star helping us out! We are very glad you were here to help us out.”
June
“Thank you so much for everything you did in preparation and during the wedding. You were elite. I dare say you’ll have a lot of people asking to be Wedd by Wedd. It was so lovely sharing our special day with you.”
