Baby Naming

your story. beautifully told

Welcome them into the world.

There is nothing quite like the moment a room full of people who love you turns to look at this tiny, brand-new person – and hears their name spoken for the first time as a promise. That’s what a baby naming ceremony is. Not a formality, not a box to tick. A genuine celebration of new life, new love, and the family you’ve become.

It’s also yours to shape entirely. Whether you want something quietly intimate with just your closest people, or a room full of grandparents, godparents, and small children running riot – I’ll hold it all together with warmth, care, and more than a little joy.

We can weave in as many meaningful moments as you’d like: readings, rituals, a candle lit by a grandparent, a promise made by a sibling. Or we keep it beautifully simple. Either way, by the time we’re done, your little one will have been welcomed into the world in a way that will stay with your family forever.
 

A name is the first gift. A ceremony makes it sacred.
A baby naming ceremony is a joyful, heartfelt celebration of new beginnings and whether you’re welcoming a brand-new baby into the world or marking a powerful moment of personal becoming, it deserves to be done beautifully.

From our first conversation to the moment the name is spoken aloud with love and intention, I am completely yours. We’ll work through every detail together: your story, your people, and what this moment means to you; crafting a ceremony that feels warm, personal, and full of joy.
There are no rules here, and no script to follow. What matters is that the ceremony belongs to you – whoever you are, and wherever this moment finds you.

How it works

WHAT OUR JOURNEY LOOKS LIKE

01

Connect

A conversation, not a consultation

It starts with a relaxed, warm conversation , no pressure, no agenda. We'll talk about your new arrival, what you're hoping for, and whether we're the right fit. Once you're ready, you'll complete the booking form, secure your date, and from that moment - we're in this together.

02

Create

Building something just for them

You'll receive a thoughtfully designed questionnaire that invites you to share your story; who you are, what this baby means to you, the people you want to involve, and any rituals or moments that feel right. I take everything you share and shape it into a ceremony that is warm, joyful, and entirely yours.

03

Craft

The moment it becomes real

We come together for a full script read-through, and this is the moment parents tell me it all suddenly feels very real and very wonderful. You'll hear your little one's story told back to you, feel the shape of the ceremony, and leave the call genuinely excited. We refine together until every word is exactly right.

04

Celebrate

The best part starts here

Your day is here. I'll arrive well ahead of time, welcome your guests, and hold everything together quietly behind the scenes - including any small people who may have their own ideas about the schedule. Your only job is to be present, and to enjoy every beautiful second of it.

Not all celebrants are the same

what makes this different
A baby naming ceremony is one of the most tender things a family can do – a moment to gather the people you love, welcome a new life into your circle, and say out loud what this little person already means to you. It deserves more than a generic script and a borrowed blessing.

With a background in marketing and theatre, I bring something most celebrants simply can’t: an instinct for the words that matter, a feel for the emotion in the room, and the ability to create a ceremony that is as warm and joyful as the occasion itself.

But beneath all of that craft is something much simpler – a genuine love of people and the moments that bind them. When you choose me, you’re choosing someone who will treat this moment with the tenderness it deserves, and give your family a ceremony worth remembering for all the right reasons.

your baby naming questions answered
Is a baby naming ceremony a religious event?
Only if you’d like it to be. A naming ceremony can be entirely secular, entirely spiritual, or anywhere in between. Many families include elements from different traditions, beliefs, or cultures – all of it is welcome, none of it is required. We build what belongs to your family and leave out everything that doesn’t.
Who can be a guide or godparent in the ceremony?
Anyone you choose. Unlike religious ceremonies, there are no restrictions on who can take on a meaningful role. Whether you call them godparents, guide parents, mentors, or something else entirely – we’ll find the language that fits and create a moment that makes their role feel as significant as it truly is.
How long does a naming ceremony take?
Most naming ceremonies are beautifully concise – somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes. Long enough to feel meaningful, short enough to keep little ones (and their guests) happy. We’ll shape it together based on what you’d like to include.
When should we hold the ceremony?
Whenever feels right for your family. Some choose to hold it within the first few months, others wait until they’re ready to gather everyone together. There’s no rule – and I’m here whenever you are.
