Naming Ceremony

A naming ceremony is a beautiful way to welcome a new child into the world and to formally celebrate their arrival with family and friends. It’s a non-religious alternative to a christening — focused entirely on your child, your values, and the people who will play a meaningful role in their life.

Every naming ceremony I deliver is created from scratch in collaboration with the family. It can include:

  • Personal readings or messages

  • Appointing guideparents or mentors

  • Symbolic elements such as candle lighting, tree planting, or a time capsule

  • Space to honour family traditions or cultural backgrounds

These ceremonies are typically relaxed, warm, and filled with the kind of moments that bring everyone together. They can take place at home, in a garden, a venue, or anywhere that feels right for you.

Whether you’re marking a new arrival, an adoption, or a new chapter in your family’s story — I’ll help you create a ceremony that feels genuine and memorable.
