Naming Ceremonies
Sometimes, said Pooh, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
Congratulations! Welcome to the world little one!
If a formal Christening doesn’t feel right for your family then get in touch. I will work with you to create a ceremony that tells your family’s story and welcomes your newest member with as much (or as little) fuss as you would like!
Frequently Asked Questions...
We don't live in Surrey and/or our celebration is not in Surrey, can you still be our celebrant?
Yes! If you aren’t local or aren’t available to meet in person we can use Zoom or telephone calls to meet and email and phone to communicate. I am also happy to travel (within reason and at a small additional cost) for the ceremony.
Please see ‘How much are your fees?’ for details regarding ceremonies conducted outside of Surrey.
Can we include hymns, prayers and religious elements?
Yes, you can have whatever you like in your ceremony. We can discuss all the elements you wish to include as part of our planning meeting.
How much are your fees?
My fees for creating and leading a naming ceremony start from £350
This includes, after our first chat, a planning meeting with the family, creation of a unique personalised ceremony, a first draft of the ceremony for review, a final draft, leading the ceremony on the day and a presentation pdf of your ceremony.
It also includes travel within 20 miles of my base in Surrey.
Extra meetings, travel further afield and any rehearsals will be in addition to the above fee and will all be agreed upon in advance.
We are part of the LGBTQIA+ community can you help?
OMG yes! It would be an honour and a privilege to work with you and help you.
