Renaming Ceremonies
To thine own self be true
- Hamlet, Act I, scene III
Changing your name or pronouns is one of the most significant steps for anyone. Having an official ceremony to mark this step in your life can help to provide a space to reflect on how far you have come and the direction you wish to take for your future.
As far as format… anything goes! Get in touch and we can discuss your vision, I can offer you some ideas and together we will create a beautiful moment from which you can grow as your true self.
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 renaming ceremony start from £350
This includes, after our first chat, a planning meeting, 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.
