Emily Rawlinson Celebrant

"We shortlisted about a dozen and ended up
interviewing about half of those -
Emily stood out by not only
being very friendly and kind but also happy
to guide us through the process
of taking our blank sheet of
paper and turning it into our wedding ceremony."

Why choose me?
​​
The first Wedding Celebration Ceremony I conducted was for my sister and brother-in-law in 2014 on a farm in West Sussex. It was truly an amazing experience - one that inspired me and filled me with a sense of love that I still harness when I conduct weddings today.
​
Now, with over 11 years experience I'm an expert in celebrating! Whether you're welcoming the newest addition into your family with a Naming Ceremony, or celebrating your Wedding with a personal ceremony. Perhaps you’re renewing your vows or celebrating a big birthday. Whatever it may be, each ceremony is unique; designed just for you and more importantly, with you. Nothing beats the joy I see on your faces as you and your guests are immersed in a ceremony full of happiness, fun and most of all, love.
​​
I know how important it is for you to have a stand out ceremony. You don't want same-old, same-old. You want an experience that you and your guests will still be talking about when you're celebrating your Golden Wedding Anniversary and I make sure that happens.
‘Thank you just doesn't cover it! We are so, so grateful to you for making our day so special. We would have fallen apart without your calming influence - you are one in a million! '
