If you've recently welcomed a new baby into your family, congratulations! It's such an exciting time, getting to know your new wee person and watching them grow.
If you'd like a special way to celebrate their arrival, commemorate their first birthday, or welcome them to their wider family, then a naming ceremony is a wonderful way to do so. Naming ceremonies are a beautiful celebration of life, whether it's a family introduction for a new baby, an affirmation of an older sibling, commemorating an adoption, or adults celebrating a new chapter or life milestone with their nearest and dearest.
There is no legal element to a naming, so it can be literally anything you want it to be!
As an experienced celebrant and mum of two wee ones, I understand both the desire to celebrate a new precious baby, and the importance of doing it in a way that’s meaningful to your family.
I will work with you to craft your perfect naming script - you can include readings, music, symbolic rituals, promises, stories, gift-giving, guideparents, whatever is important to you.
I will guide you through the process, provide ideas and inspiration, including samples of readings, music and promises, and help you make choices about rituals and other key elements.
On the day, I will lead the ceremony, support you through the inevitable emotional moments, and make a huge deal of the wee one (or bigger one!) we've all gathered to celebrate.
If you love the sound of a naming that’s joyful, uplifting, celebratory and full of love, please get in touch: I’d love to help!
