Naming ceremonies
Naming ceremonies are such a lovely way to celebrate identity, family, and life’s big moments.
Thank you so much for conducting Millie's Naming Ceremony. It was such a beautiful day, so personal and you captured her little personality beautifully.
While they’re often chosen as a non-religious alternative to a christening, they can be created for anyone, at any age, and for all sorts of reasons.
Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, celebrating an adoption or blended family, supporting someone through their transition, or marking a fresh chapter in life, a naming ceremony is a chance to celebrate who someone truly is.
There’s no “right” way to do it either. Your ceremony can be emotional, joyful, relaxed, funny, meaningful or a little bit of everything.
My role is to help shape a ceremony that feels personal, genuine, and full of heart, one that leaves you all with memories to hold onto for years to come
