Namings
Some moments in life deserve more than just a quick announcement in the family group chat and a round of applause over buffet food. They deserve to be properly witnessed. Celebrated. Held up proudly in front of the people you love most.
Naming ceremonies can mark the arrival of a new baby, celebrate an adoption, honour a new name or gender transition, blend families together, or simply give space to say: this is who I am, and this is my community.
What’s included?
Naming ceremonies start from £200, excluding travel outside a 50-mile radius from London and every single one is written completely from scratch for the people at the centre of it. No templates, no copy-and-paste ceremonies and certainly no awkward “repeat after me” energy, unless that’s specifically your vibe.
Whether we’re celebrating a new arrival, a new name, a growing family or a whole new chapter in life, my job is to create something that feels joyful, meaningful and unmistakably personal – the kind of ceremony where people leave feeling all warm and squidgy inside (especially that work colleague that ‘doesn’t do emotions’).
The ‘tell me everything’ chat
We’ll start with a relaxed chat where you can tell me all about the person being celebrated, your family, your story and the kind of atmosphere you’d love for the ceremony. You absolutely do not need to have everything figured out already, most people don’t. That’s what I’m here for.
Squeezing out the details
I’ll ask lots of questions (because I’m nosey in a professionally useful way) and spend time getting to know the people at the heart of the ceremony properly. We can involve family and friends too – through readings, promises, symbolic moments or simply by giving people space to share stories and love openly.
Writing the ceremony
Then, I’ll take all those lovely details and turn them into a ceremony that feels completely authentic to you. Warm, personal, emotional – whatever fits your people best. We’ll do unlimited tweaks until every part feels right.
The big day
On the day itself, I’ll arrive early, folder in hand and keep everybody calm. I’ll then lead the ceremony with warmth and care. My biggest goal is always the same: creating a moment that feels genuine and memorable, not stiff or performative.
