Hello, I’m Janni

Humanist Naming Celebrant based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. 

I am  available for naming ceremonies (for little people, or bigger ones) throughout Northern Ireland.

If you are planning ceremony to welcome someone new into your family. Or if you would like to mark a change of name. I would love to guide you through the process and create some magic along the way.

I want to create the ceremony that you want – your love, your hopes for the future, your style and your choices. Your family is unique and the occasion you celebrate should be as special as you are.

Your ceremony however you want it!  Naming Ceremonies take place all over the world and in all sorts of different ways, be they vibrant, mellow, quirky, sweet.  Lots of people appoint guideparents, make parental commitments, have a symbolic act and invite friends and family to stay afterwards to eat, drink and make memories!

The ceremonies I conduct will generally last about 25 minutes and then you can continue with the rest of your celebration!

A naming ceremony can take place wherever you would like it – in your home or garden, a café, a hotel, on the beach or in a local park? Anywhere you’d like really.  You’ll tell me about the things that are important to you and your family and I’ll weave everything into a story to tell on the day.  There’s likely to be a lot of laughter and maybe the odd tear.  Life is like that.

In preparing for your ceremony, we will talk about your ideas and my experience of ceremonies, and ensure we hit the tone you want. Do be warned though, naming ceremonies are often chaotic and filled with happiness. However you choose to celebrate it will be a meaningful and special event.

With love

Janni
