A baby naming ceremony is a wonderfully personalised, loving, and poignant event – a beautiful alternative to a religious christening. These ceremonies can take place almost anywhere, indoors, or outdoors, at any time of day. The bespoke nature of the ceremony allows you, as parents, to celebrate the birth of your baby, formally welcome them into your family (and the world!), and make meaningful promises to them, all supported by your closest family and friends.

Does a traditional church christening not feel quite right for your baby or child? Perhaps you’re not religious and it doesn’t align with your family’s values, but welcoming a child is one of the most important moments in your life, one you want to mark with significance. A celebrant-led Baby Naming, Adoption or Step-Child Welcoming Ceremony offers a thoughtful alternative. Held almost anywhere: in a garden, the beach, a forest, hotel or village hall, it’s the perfect way to celebrate and welcome babies and children into a family. You can nominate ‘Guideparents’ and incorporate cultural or family traditions. Together, we can create personalised promises, blessings, and rituals that make your naming ceremony incredibly special, whether you prefer a small casual and relaxed affair or something more formal and grander, we can help you achieve your perfect day.

Identity and Gender Affirmation Ceremonies are a great opportunity to hold a joyous celebration to formally announce a new name, unique identity, hopes and dreams for the future; and to move forward with their lives.
