A Welcome from the Heart
Creating a personal Ceremony
Creating a personal Ceremony
Every child and every family has their own unique story. A naming ceremony is a way to honour that. To recognise the love that surrounds this new chapter and the people who will help shape it.
It’s a celebration of life, and the connection from the community that will walk alongside your child as they grow.
Whether you prefer something simple and quiet, or a big, joy-filled gathering, together we'll build something that truly reflects your family’s values, and hopes for the future.

No two ceremonies are ever the same. Together, we’ll create something that feels completely natural and personal to your family. A ceremony that reflects your values, traditions, and the unique bond you share.
Your ceremony might include:
- The announcement of your child’s name
- Promises or words of love from parents, guardians, or siblings
- The introduction of guideparents or special supporters
- Readings, poetry, or music that hold meaning for your family
- Symbolic actions such as lighting a candle, planting a tree, or making wishes for the child’s future
Each element will come together to create a ceremony full of warmth, connection, and joy.

- A face-to-face meeting to get to know your story and your vision for your ceremony
- A bespoke ceremony script, written exclusively for you
- Guidance on symbolic actions, readings, and promises
- A keepsake copy of your ceremony to treasure for years to come
Because welcoming someone into your family deserves to be celebrated. Now & Forever.
