Baby Naming & Family Celebration Ceremonies

Congratulations, your family has been blessed with the joy of a new member and now your journey together begins.

Baby Naming and Family Celebration Ceremonies are a beautiful and memorable way to celebrate the birth of a child, adoption, welcoming stepchildren, or the blending of two families.  A Naming Ceremony will signify your family's new arrival, marking new beginnings, affirming your love, commitment and promises to your child and to each other, surrounded by family and friends.

​

Together, we will craft a unique ceremony, telling the story of your child and their special role in your family.  You will share your hopes and dreams for your child and may choose to include the significance of their name and why you chose it.

​

You will have the option to include readings and music in the service, further adding a personal meaning to your ceremony.  You may also consider symbolic elements such as - tree planting, a Sand Ceremony, lighting candles or including one or two of your family and friends to be an active participant throughout your ceremonial day.

Whatever you choose, it is important to remember that I can tailor a beautiful ceremony for you, which is both personal and rich with meaning and love.  As a Naming Ceremony is unrestricted by law, we have the autonomy to think creatively, ensuring your ceremonial day is befitting for your little Prince or Princess and uniquely marks such an important occasion in your family's history.

 

The services I provide for a Naming Ceremony are detailed below and can be crafted to suit your personal requirements: -

​
