Fees and practical points

A naming ceremony costs £275 anywhere in Greater London. For ceremonies outside of Greater London I may also charge travel expenses and, if required, the cost of overnight accommodation. I do my best to keep these additional expenses reasonable and will agree them with you in advance.

I require a deposit of £75 before the first meeting and the balance is payable one week before the ceremony.

The cost is the same for a single ceremony whether for one child or more.

Included in the price are:

  • A meaningful, personal ceremony, unique to your family;
  • A presentation ceremony script as a keepsake to treasure;
  • All pre-ceremony meetings;
  • Opportunities to edit the script, to ensure you are comfortable with everything we have planned;
  • Accreditation fees paid to Humanists UK which cover ongoing professional development, appropriate Public Liability and Indemnity Insurance, and regular peer reviews to ensure the quality of Humanists UK ceremonies;
  • A friendly, helping hand through your planning to make your ceremony special.
