A welcome into the world — and the family.

A naming ceremony is a chance to gather everyone you love around your child and say, out loud, who they are to you and what you hope for them.

There's no fixed script, no religious requirement, no rules about who can speak. Just a warm, considered ceremony that suits your family exactly — at home, in a garden, in a woodland or in a hall full of friends.

I'll weave promises, readings, godparent or guide-parent roles, candle rituals, sand ceremonies or anything else meaningful into a script written entirely from scratch.
