Naming Ceremonies (sometimes called Baby or Welcoming Ceremonies) are a lovely way to acknowledge a new life in a family.

​

Naming ceremonies are often, but not always, for young children or a new baby. However, they can also be used to mark the blending of existing families as a new relationship between adults forms. These are also ideal ceremonies for welcoming adopted children to their new families.

​

At the heart of Naming and Welcoming Ceremonies are the promises that adults make to the children:

Parents will make promises to their children.

Supporting Adults (or Godparents) can be identified and will also make promises.

Grandparents too can make promises both to a new grandchild and to their own children, the new parents.

​

The cost of a Naming or Welcoming Ceremony  includes an initial consultation and the delivery of a draft script. I will conduct the ceremony on the day and provide orders of ceremony (if these are required. Maximum 30, black & white free of charge) and certificates for you and your supporting adults (maximum of six). After the day I will provide you with a souvenir copy of the script of your ceremony.

Please contact me to discuss your requirements, and the fees for your ceremony.
