Welcome to my page!

I'm an English/Italian bilingual Humanist Celebrant.                       

If you are here, you are looking for a personal ceremony - as you want it - to be just right for you and your child.

A naming ceremony is an opportunity to welcome and celebrate your child’s arrival; it can be for a new baby or an older child, following an adoption or as part of a wedding ceremony. It is a joyous and inclusive non-religious ceremony for all the family and friends who will play an important part in your child’s life. 

It can take place in many settings: your home or garden, a park, a beach, a barn or any other venue of your choice. 

Alongside naming and promises from parents and guide–parents, it can include readings and poems, symbolic acts, music, gifts and games. A fun and meaningful day for everyone involved!

Thank you so much for the wonderful ceremony. You were fantastic from start to finish and we had a wonderful day

— A & L

Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem.

Humanist naming ceremonies

A humanist naming ceremony is a joyous event, and the perfect opportunity to gather friends and family to welcome your child into the world, with no reference to religion. It focuses on the child, their future and the circle of love and support around them, offering a sincere and personal alternative to a christening or other religious ceremony.
