Humanist and Non-Religious Naming Ceremonies in North Somerset, Somerset and surrounding areas

A Naming Ceremony is a a wonderful way to welcome the arrival of a new baby or child, whether by birth or adoption. They can also be a special way to celebrate the blending of families coming together, celebrating new beginnings and changing identities.

Planning a naming ceremony is fun, inspirational and full of delight! I can offer guidance or you many have your own ideas about how you would like the ceremony to be. I will work together with you to make the occasion special and personal for you.

Each ceremony is written using words that celebrate life and can include: symbolic acts, meaningful poems or readings,  promises and music. They can be as traditional or unconventional, formal or informal – as you wish.

One of the truly amazing things about Naming Ceremonies is they can be held pretty much anywhere you like. In your own home, garden, park, woodland, beach, village hall, pub or a party venue. Your choice!

Michelle held our beautiful little boys naming ceremony, We couldn’t have wished for a better celebrant for us.  Michelle was amazing, she listened carefully to what we wanted, Her communication was superb, she always kept in touch and ensured everything was to our satisfaction. Her words were astounding and very emotional – she made the day so special for our family! Michelle has a beautiful nature and my son loved her, which confirmed she was the right person for the job. We had so many compliments on the day and Michelle was so patient and was guided by us which made it so much easier for us. We had 60+ people to keep happy. I would 100% recommend Michelle. If we have any similar events we want her again! Rosie & Rob
