Hello! Let me introduce myself. My name is Catherine I’m a naming ceremony celebrant, trained and accredited by Humanists UK.
A naming ceremony is a non-religious ceremony, and you can make the ceremony what you want it to be, wherever you want it to be. Maybe you would like to have the ceremony on the beach that you and your partner met, or if you are fans of The Mandalorian and you want to dress your child up as Grogu. (Maybe a niche reference!)Let your imagination run wild and I will be there to make those ideas come to life.
From the initial consultation to the final script, I will work closely with you and anyone else you would like to be involved in the ceremony. You can include guide parents - sometimes called mentors, champions or even ‘odd parents! - as an alternative to godparents. You may choose to have music, carefully selected readings or poems and even symbolic acts, the day is about you, and your family so make it a day you will cherish and remember fondly for the rest of your lives.
A naming ceremony is the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of your baby, an adopted child joining a family, celebrating a blended family, or to affirm a new identity.
If I sound like a good fit for you and your family please do contact me, I’m happy to have a conversation in the first instance to explain more about what I do and how I work I can meet in person or online whatever works for you.
