Discover the beauty of a Naming Ceremony,

welcoming all new additions to your family.

Whether you're celebrating the arrival of a baby, the adoption of a child, blending families, or simply wishing to formally welcome a beloved child into your lives, a naming ceremony is a beautiful way to mark the occasion.

If you've decided to celebrate this special moment with a ceremony, I will work with you to create something joyful and personal, reflecting your family's values, hopes and dreams.

You can involve siblings, grandparents, extended family and friends in the ceremony - with music, readings and meaningful rituals to make it truly your own.

Let's begin the journey ...

We’ll begin with a complimentary, no-obligation chat - just to get to know each other and make sure we’re a good fit.

To secure your ceremony date, you'll need to;

Pay a €40 client contribution to the Humanist Association of Ireland
Pay a booking deposit of €50 directly to me.

The remaining balance of €200, plus any travel expenses if applicable, is due 2 weeks before the ceremony day.

We will then meet up via Zoom to chat about your plans for your naming ceremony. I can help with reading, poem and music choices and you can decide if you would like to include any rituals such as wish trees, bubbles, candle lighting or sand blending.

I will ask you to complete a naming questionnaire so that I have some information about your family and your wishes for your child/children.

From there I'll:

Craft your first draft ceremony script and send it to you for feedback
Make any edits you'd like to ensure the words feel just right
Prepare your final draft for sign-off
And then on the day I'll deliver a beautiful welcoming ceremony for your family and friends.
