Baby naming ceremonies are a wonderful way to celebrate your new arrival.

Together we will plan the perfect celebration.

Here are a few ideas to get you started!

naming certificate

This family chose to show their love in a symbolic unity ceremony, surrounding baby E with love.

A naming stone

A naming stone ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate. Your child's name is written on the stone and decorated accordingly. During the ceremony it is held by you as you make your promises to your baby. Your child will love having their very own named stone to treasure throughout their lives.

Each naming ceremony comes complete with a scroll of the ceremony, and a beautiful naming certificate.
This family were Portuguese, and the stone was painted to match - in fact it matches so well you may need to be eagle eyed to spot it!

This family chose to have a sand ceremony. Each family member added their own layer of sand to the vessel, creating a colourful reminder of the day. It symbolised each person there that day, and all the love in the room for baby J.

a different take on the sand ceremony for a blended Christian and spiritual ceremony

A very colourful naming stone for a little boy who was part of a large family with strong roots.

The dream team!
After 30 years as part of various school teams as a teacher✏️, I did worry that being self employed as a celebrant 🔗💍🪦 might be lonely. Instead I have joined some of the best teams ever, working with ethical and creative people to make dreams come true. Happy and grateful for friends 🧡 found along the way!📸💄

What a gorgeous view! @hytheimperialhotelweddings after a great evening at @lympnecastle with the Kent Wedding circle. Thank you Karina, what a great meeting in a beautiful setting.

One of the most lovely weddings in a summer of love! Jess and Warren are a match made in heaven and this gorgeous moment @themanorgardensbirling taken by @emily_brown_photography sums up the humour and joy of their special day. The most delicious food was provided by @thefatcarrot including a gorgeous vegan bbq. Thank you for letting me be your celebrant - I wish you all the joy in the world - you both deserve to be very happy, and I am sure you will be.

I love this photo by @emily_brown_photography. Taken @themanorgardensbirling as I listened to a wonderful couple making their vows. It overwhelms me each time, the love and the joy each couple feels having their story told in a natural way in front of those they love. #thatmomentwhen

OK,not a blue moon! But oh how beautiful was that moon last night? Did any of you catch the partial eclipse? Very grounding as I prepare for a gorgeous spiritual wedding on the 28th @longtonwood . The elements have a way of reminding us to connect with nature, as @tansyinthewild says. #moonbathing #supermoon #harvestmoon #handfasting #spiritualwedding #paganweddinh #spiritualistwedding @thenaturalweddingcompany @hitcheduk @independentcelebrants @unconventional_wedding @sustainableweddingallianceuk ...
