Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, celebrating an adoption, or blending your family together, a naming ceremony is a beautiful way to mark the moment with love, meaning and joy.

No legalities. No restrictions. Just a heartfelt celebration in a setting that feels right for you — whether that’s your living room, a garden, a woodland glade or your favourite local venue.

These ceremonies are for anyone and everyone:

• New parents

• Adoptive families

• Blended families

• Families celebrating a name or gender change

What’s included?

• A relaxed, no-obligation chat to get to know each other

• Family or child-focused questionnaires to help shape your ceremony

• A fully bespoke script written with warmth, imagination and care

• Support with promises, readings, and ceremony ideas

• Unlimited calls, emails or Zooms along the way

• Help with music, layout, timings, and symbolic rituals (if you’d like them)

• Printed copies of your script, readings and promises

• A beautifully delivered ceremony on the day

• Optional keepsake certificates for guideparents or your child

Whoever you are, and however your family is made — you are welcome here.

You’ll always be told upfront about any extras — no hidden surprises. These can be invoiced separately or added to your final balance.
