When it comes to naming your child, so much time and thought has already gone into selecting that name, you need to have an authentic ceremonial gathering to make it official.

This should be one of the most special days of your life and my goal will be to create an authentic ceremony that is true to your family.  So let me help you create an amazing experience for your family as well as your friends and family who will be celebrating with you on the day.

​

Step 1

Let's meet to get to know each other. This can be at my home or over coffee somewhere - what ever makes you feel more comfortable.  We can talk through the type of ceremony you want to create and talk about the process we will go through to create a ceremony for you.  We'll also talk about the price.

​

Step 2

Sometimes this can be combined with Step One, but once you have decided it's me you want to officiate at your ceremony, we will sit down and have a chat about your family and who's going to be involved in the ceremony.  This will probably take an hour or so and can happen over coffee or even a glass of wine.  The info I get from us spending this time together will help me create your unique naming ceremony.  I'll be asking about the quirkiness of your family.  

We'll also talk about any poems or readings you would like included in the ceremony and who will be reading them, plus what music you have selected and work out where that will fit.

​

Step 3

I go away and create the ceremony using the information you have given me. After I've written the ceremony, we catch up to run through it and make adjustments if needed. Sometimes this can be done via email, although it's better in person. 

​

Step 4

The big day! You get to name your son or daughter.  

I'll be there nice and early to make sure everything is in place.
