You may wish to celebrate this special occasion however if you are not religious, the options may feel limited.
A naming ceremony is the perfect alternative. A non-religious equivalent of a christening, offering a meaningful way to welcome your baby or child into the world and to mark this wonderful chapter of your life. Perhaps you have adopted and want to honour your new addition to your family. Or perhaps, you wish to mark the blending together of two families and celebrate the beautiful merging of their stories.
A celebrant led ceremony opens the door to a completely bespoke and personal celebration. It is the perfect way to officially welcome your new baby or celebrate the family you have become together with recognising your role as parents.
It serves as an opportunity to express thanks to those who have given their support and love throughout and pay heartfelt tribute to them. You may wish to invite special people in your lives to become mentors or guide parents to your children or you may even wish to write and express your own parental promises. I will ensure that your ceremony includes all the personal touches to make it truly magical!
A grand adventure is about to begin
I will curate a bespoke ceremony as unique as you and your child
A naming ceremony can take place anywhere you like whether that is in a country manor, boutique hotel, outside or even in your own family home. The ceremony can include readings, music or symbolic rituals such as candle lightings to wishing trees each one adding another element of significance to this special occasion.
My role as your celebrant is to guide you through the process so that the ceremony I do curate and officiate is bespoke and personal to your family, your culture and your approach to life as a parent.
