Naming Ceremony

A Ceremony as Unique as Your Child

Every child is one of a kind, and their naming ceremony should reflect that uniqueness. Together, we’ll create a personalised experience that celebrates your child’s arrival in a way that resonates with you, your family, and your closest friends. From the vows to the readings, and even the rituals you choose to include, every detail can be customised to suit your family’s personality, traditions, and beliefs.

​

A Beautiful Alternative to a Christening

For many families, a naming ceremony is a meaningful alternative to a Christening or Baptism. It allows you to introduce your child to the world in a way that feels personal and significant without adhering to specific religious traditions. Whether you’d like to include religious elements, spiritual symbols, or keep the ceremony completely secular, I will craft an experience that aligns with your vision.

​

Celebrate Family Bonds – Nominate Godparents or Responsible Adults

A key element of many naming ceremonies is the opportunity to nominate godparents or responsible adults. These individuals are chosen to play a significant role in your child’s life, offering guidance, love, and support as they grow. Whether you are honouring long-held family traditions or establishing new ones, this part of the ceremony strengthens the important connections that will guide your child throughout their life.

​

Inclusive for Babies and Adopted Children

This bespoke ceremony is perfect for all children – whether they’re new born, older children, or adopted. A naming ceremony is a beautiful way to welcome your child into your family, celebrate adoption, or simply honour the precious addition to your life. Every step of the process can be tailored to reflect your family’s journey, ensuring that each ceremony is as unique as your child.
 

Limitless Locations, Limitless Possibilities

The beauty of a bespoke naming ceremony is that it can take place wherever you choose. There are no limitations when it comes to location – from intimate home gatherings to grand outdoor settings, you can celebrate your child’s name in the place that holds the most meaning for you. Whether indoors or outdoors, the ceremony will be designed to complement your chosen space, creating an atmosphere of warmth, love, and significance.
 

Personal Touches and Meaningful Rituals

I will guide you through choosing special readings, poems, and songs that hold meaning for you and your family. We can incorporate rituals such as candle lighting, a "gifting", where loved ones add a small treasure to a Cherish Chest, or a symbolic gesture that reflects your values and beliefs. 

​

A Day to Remember

A bespoke naming ceremony is more than just an event – it’s an experience that will live in the hearts of your family and friends for years to come. It’s an opportunity to celebrate your child’s arrival, the bonds of family, and the values that will shape your child’s future. Together, we’ll create a beautiful ceremony that you and your loved ones will treasure forever.​
