A professionally trained celebrant will conduct the ceremony.  Ceremonies can be intimate or convivial, formal or relatively informal. Your ceremony is tailored to your needs. The ceremony must be non-religious but may include readings and music that hold a special meaning. The presentation of a gift to the child may also be included.

Once you have made a provisional booking you will receive a sample ceremony and readings. We will arrange a meeting with you to personalise your ceremony. A commemorative certificate will be presented as a memento of the occasion signed by the parent(s) and supporting adults. The ceremony may last up to 30 minutes.

Who can have a ceremony?

Children of all ages can have a Naming Ceremony and brothers and sisters can all be included. The parent, a person with parental responsibility or legal guardian of the child can organise the ceremony.

Where can it take place?

Naming ceremonies can take place indoors or utdoors at any venue that holds a health and safety certificate.
