The naming ceremony

Every naming ceremony is entirely personal and tailored to your own individual needs and wishes.

It is a special way to declare, before family and friends, your promises for the care and upbringing of your child.

Parents can also take the opportunity in the ceremony to make promises to each other.

You may wish to include supporting adults, who will commit to having a special interest in the child.

Grandparents can also make promises for the child's future.

The ceremony includes music, readings, personal vows and promises of your choice.

A naming ceremony will usually last about 20 minutes but can take longer if more readings and options are included.
