Hello And Welcome Family welcoming ceremonies including baby naming, adoption ceremonies and ceremonies to celebrate the merging of families.
Children are amazing.
If a child or children have become part of your family, you want to celebrate and announce this to your nearest and dearest but you don't want a church christening, what other options do you have?
You can have a Celebrant led ceremony, that's what!
We can include other family members in the ceremony and create roles for them in the rituals that we include. We can have an extravagant ceremony, or if you prefer, a small intimate one.
The choices are yours.
Let's celebrate your family, your way.
“A name is a powerful thing. It sets one apart and gives significance.” ― Jessica Khoury.
Let us work together to create a celebration to announce that name.
For a new baby.
For older children, welcoming them into a new family, whether it is a blended family, adoption, a new name (whether a new first name or surname).
I adore children, and I cannot promise not to sneak a snuggle in especially with the tiny ones!
We will work together to create a ceremony that announces them to the world.
We can create a fun ceremony or a reflective one.
The ceremony can be wherever and whenever you choose.
We can include poetry, videos, games, or whatever you would like - there is so much flexibility.
You might wish to choose friends or family who will make vows and promises of love and support to your child and act as guide-parents.
