Baby Naming Service
Modern families come in all shapes and sizes and it's great to work with families who have varying circumstances and diverse backgrounds to create bespoke ceremonies for babies that highlights the bonds of family and friendship.
Why
Naming and Welcoming Ceremonies are a fantastic and modern way to celebrate your children and officially welcome them into your world. Maybe you want to celebrate a new baby, a newly adopted child, a joining of families through marriage or you just didn't want a religious Christening, well this is for you and I would be honoured to be part of the journey!!!
Where
Naming ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular and they can be held anywhere, your local public house, a hotel, your back garden.
The ceremony can be held at home or at a favourite venue, indoor or outdoor and on any day of the week.
There are many symbolic acts you could choose for your ceremony, here’s just a few ideas; lighting of a candle, sand ceremony, message trees, hand fasting, time capsules and tree planting
Who
Other members of the family such as grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles can be included in the ceremony process.
Parents may also have special friends who wish to express a commitment to a child and affirm a duty of care in front of witnesses.
You can appoint mentors or god parents, who will promise a special relationship with the child and strengthen family and friendship relationships by providing the opportunity for the family to be together.
How
I will initially meet up with youseveral weeks before the big day to discuss your script and get a feel for the type of ceremony you are looking for. We will work together to get the ceremony you want and I will be available on the day of the ceremony to have a relaxed run through of the proceedings before the official ceremony.
The standard price for Naming and Welcoming Ceremonies is £140 and can be held any day of the week.
