Hi, I'm Nat

Image of Nat Raybould

I'm a full-time wedding celebrant based in London, and I create personal, stylish, and witty wedding ceremonies for the most intentional of couples. If you would like to learn more about what I do and how I do it, please do visit my website via the link below. I can't wait to get to know you!

If you're looking for an utterly personal, planned to a tee, considered and comfortable ceremony unrestrained by the norms of tradition, Nat is definitely the celebrant for you.

From our first meeting we knew we were in safe hands with Nat. She really takes the time to get to know you, share ideas you might not have considered and listens intently with such an eye for small details that make the biggest difference on the day.

And don't take just our word for it, everyone commented on how they'd never been to a ceremony like it and how fantastic Nat was.

We can't thank Nat enough for instilling so much joy into our day.

Nat was quite literally the most perfect celebrant we could have asked for. My partner and I knew from the start that we wanted a humanist ceremony, and also wanted to intertwine elements from the different cultures we identified with in some way (Indian, British, Irish and French). What we didn't know was exactly how we were going to do that! Nat worked her magic wonderfully, guiding us, giving us ideas, and really learning everything about us to make it as uniquely us as possible, which it totally was! It ended up being our favourite part of the day, and we're so glad that we had Nat play such a key role in our wedding - she is an absolutely wonderful human, and now a great friend!

The beauty of a celebrant is the intimacy and weaving of personal stories into your ceremony. A celebrant makes your ceremony a celebration, not just a tick-box exercise. Nat does that x1000. It’s the little moments that Nat really considers. She spent a lot of time working with us to understand our relationship and what we really love about each other. For that, we are eternally grateful. She is eloquent, commands the room like no other, and genuinely loves her couples. It made for an unforgettable experience. If you want to make your ceremony personal, fun, and filled with those magical moments that make you remember weddings, then speak to Nat.

Nat Raybould is made to be a wedding celebrant! She is full of energy, enthusiasm and pure LOVE. My husband and I are so happy we chose Nat to marry us. She approached our wedding ceremony passionately from the beginning; deeply comprehending what my partner and I wrote about each other and our love and then beautifully articulated it into a charming, funny and romantic story. We had so many compliments from guests who said it was the most entertaining and enjoyable ceremony they'd been to! We are eternally grateful, Nat - thank you so much!

Nat is love and sunshine in human form. When my (now) husband, Michael and I were first planning our wedding, we were shocked to hear of the rigidity of standard non-humanist wedding. We decided to have a humanist wedding because we wanted to share our love story, in our own words, in our own time, with our own music, in our own order. We met online first for a consultation and knew immediately that Nat was The One to marry us. She spent months getting to know us, reading our love letters, hearing our stories, and she worked on a script that blew us away. Nat touched our hearts by going even deeper with her own research and recommending an ancient rice ceremony to incorporate into the ceremony to honor my Filipino heritage. This is the type of person Nat is: She is love personified. She goes above and beyond because she hears your love, she feels your love, and she does and says what she can to share your love. My guests could not stop raving about Nat throughout the evening. They continuously remarked on how this ceremony was quite possibly the best they've ever experienced (aside from their own, of course ;) We laughed, we cried, and as Nat as our sunshine, we whole heartedly entered into our next chapter together.. as husband and wife. 10/10 would recommend Nat. She will love your love and she will carefully and honorably bring that love to life on your wedding day!

— Joyce & Michael

We're so glad we got to work with Nat for our ceremony. She spent ages getting to know us, picking up on things about us that only really became apparent to us afterwards and crafting a beautiful ceremony. Nat manages to combine an amazing stage presence with a warm and joyous personality. So many of our guests said how unique and personal our ceremony was, and how great she was. She spent hours working with our friends on surprise elements to our day, and throughout was a calming, reassuring and helpful guide as we planned our day. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

— Adam & Mike

We are so glad you were such a big part of our day – you’re truly excellent at what you do. So many people have told us how special and charming the ceremony was. You really delivered on making our ceremony the best part of the proceedings. It was sublime.

— Lewis Goodall & Tone Langengen

Nat is incredible. Not only was our ceremony incredibly personal and beautifully ‘us’, the process of working with Nat to create the ceremony was priceless. Nat becomes a friend, which makes the ceremony so much more special. We could feel the love, support and emotion from Nat throughout our ceremony which made us completely comfortable and able to enjoy it all the more. We had so many comments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was and how it was so reflective of us.

We will cherish the time we’ve spent with Nat forever. It allowed us to celebrate our love in the most personal, special and wonderful way. We feel very lucky to have had Nat as our celebrant.

— Sophie & Connor

As a fellow celebrant, when it came to who would marry us, there was only one possible option for us. It had to be Nat. She is an OG of the celebrant world and hugely admired, for very very good reason! Nat created the most magical and authentic ceremony for us and it really was our perfect ceremony. Nat has a beautiful lyricism to her writing – her vocabulary and handle of the English language is mind-blowing! – and you can tell she really puts her heart into each individual script she writes. Nat has this magical ability to make you truly feel like main characters in your very own Rom-Com. Thank you Nat – we love you!

— George & India
