Naming Ceremonies


Your Story. Your Voice. Your Way.


Welcoming your story

A naming ceremony is a joyful way to welcome a child into their family and wider community, surrounded by love, warmth, and connection.

Whether you are celebrating the arrival of a new baby, welcoming an adopted child, or marking this moment later in childhood, the ceremony is shaped around your story and what this moment means for you. It is an opportunity to share hopes, dreams, and wishes for the future, and to recognise the unique place this child holds within your family.

Naming ceremonies can take place in any setting that feels meaningful to you. This might be your home, a garden, a favourite outdoor space, or another location that reflects your values and the life you are building together.
Family and friends can play an important role in the ceremony. Siblings, grandparents and guide parents may be invited to make promises or pledges of support, offering words of encouragement and commitment that will carry forward as the child grows.
As your celebrant, I will work with you to create a ceremony that feels warm, inclusive, and thoughtfully held, using words that reflect your voices and your story.
