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."

Your Ceremony, Your Story, Your Celebrant
​​​
My very first wedding ceremony was in 2014, when I had the joy of officiating my sister and brother-in-law’s celebration on a farm in West Sussex. It was such a magical experience—one that filled me with love and inspiration and set me on the path to becoming the celebrant I am today.
Now, with over 11 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of creating and leading ceremonies of every kind—weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies, milestone birthdays, and more. Each one is completely personal, designed with you and for you, to reflect your story, your values, and your style.
Whether you’re planning a bespoke wedding ceremony, a heartfelt vow renewal, or a joyful naming ceremony, I’ll make sure it’s unforgettable. My goal is always the same: to create a stand-out experience full of love, laughter, and meaning—something you and your guests will still be talking about for years to come (perhaps even at your Golden Wedding Anniversary!).
If you’d like to hear more about my journey into celebrancy and what inspires me, you can listen to the Weddings & Honeymoons Celebrant Edition Podcast, where I share my story in conversation with Emilie-Kate Owen.
‘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! '
