A naming ceremony is a wonderful occasion and an opportunity to welcome a child of any age into your family. It is a meaningful and memorable way to celebrate the birth of a new baby or to welcome an adopted child or stepchild into your family.
It is a unique and beautiful way to celebrate their name and to confirm their identity along with family and friends to celebrate the life of the child and their place in all your lives.
As part of the ceremony parents can make promises to the child and it is also an ideal time to involve other adults that will play a significant part in the child’s life. Parents, grand-parents, guardians, godparents or significant others can give their commitment to the child to support them and their hopes and dreams for the future.
It gives you a personalised, meaningful opportunity to celebrate your new addition to the family. It is an alternative to a formal Christening and is a way to officially name and welcome your child in front of your loved ones.
Each ceremony will be tailored around the family making it a unique way to share to celebrate anywhere you choose -at home, a hotel, in a garden, on the beach or anywhere that is special to you, the choice is yours.
So, let’s begin:
Step one: Planning
- We will start with a complimentary 45-minute chat to get to know each other.
- This can be a method of your choice to suit you – face-to-face, phone, zoom or facetime.
- Once you have decided I am right for you then we will begin to gather the story you want me to tell and everything that you would like to include in the ceremony.
- We can talk about your chosen venue and any traditions, readings, prayers and music that you have chosen.
Step two: Designing.
- I will write your unique story and share it with you to ensure it is perfect and make any changes or additions until you are completely satisfied.
- I will structure the ceremony in a way that flows and includes everything that you want.
- I will be available to chat through ideas as they develop and add them in.
- If you would like a rehearsal, then we can chat about the benefits and plan it in.
Step three: The ceremony day
- I will arrive early and check in with you both to make sure you are happy with everything.
- I will meet and greet your guests as they arrive.
- I will deliver your perfectly formed bespoke ceremony with love, care and attention.
After the day I will send you a copy of the ceremony
