“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
William Shakespeare
Naming Days
An adorable baby awaits their day when those dear to them gather to officially bestow a name and convey their love and hopes for the future of this treasured new life. The ceremony will be unique to your family and new addition. You can choose to include the significance of the chosen name, readings, poetry, music, singing in any form, performed by any of the guests, and anything else you feel is relevant. The ceremony of baby naming is crafted so that you may include any creative and personally meaningful moments. A sand ceremony, a foot printing ceremony, planting of a tree, are just some ideas. It is a canvas on which you can paint the basis for a beautiful future for your baby.
Fees from £250
Just to let you know that Georgia and Brendan loved their naming day, especially the rose petals! Steve and I loved it too and so did all the Grand-ies and “odd-parents”. When we eventually tie the knot we’ll be calling you to be our Celebrant!

Welcoming Ceremonies
A longed-for adoption, the addition of step children, a step parent or co-parent; these are some of the greatest moments in the life cycle of a family and are worthy of a celebration to signify commitment and the life-changing significance of the event. As a celebrant I can officiate a joyful ceremony that is inclusive, unforgettable as well as fun.
Fees from £250
