“Welcome Baby to our world – how brave of you to come.
We are here to welcome you, as your journey’s just begun.”


A Naming Ceremony is a non-religious ceremony alternative to a baptism or christening and there are no legal requirements for a Naming Ceremony.  While commonly known more to be celebrated for newborns, Naming Ceremonies can also be celebrated for people of all age groups, not just newborns and toddlers, but to adolescence and beyond.  

It is an important rite of passage in life and a wonderful opportunity for families to officially welcome a new member into a loving circle of family and friends

Each ceremony is different and unique to suit the individual and accommodate the needs of the family’s wishes.  

Ceremonies can include rituals such as the lighting of a candle, the sprinkling of magic dust, rose petals or drops of water.  Participation from parents, siblings, grandparents and godparents are also encouraged.

It is an important rite of passage in life of the child being named and as your Celebrant, it is both an honour and a pleasure to be asked to perform this important milestone for both the special individual and your family.  

A beautiful Certificate including a commemorative copy of your ceremony will be presented to you as a wonderful memento of your occasion.
