TESTIMONIALS – NAMINGS

“We absolutely loved the ceremony and had so many positive comments from our guests. We can’t thank you enough! “  Sarah and Paul Newcombe-Jones    October 15th 2017

“Thank you so much for a wonderful ceremony!  The feedback on the day was wonderful and a testament to your talent and skill.

Nobody had been to a naming day before and there had been talk within the family about what one would entail. More traditional family members who were disappointed initially that we had opted out of a religious ceremony were totally won over and realised that this ceremony was much more personal to Queenie.

Here are some of the comments:

Great Grandma who was in tears said “that ceremony made us so proud. It was wonderful hearing all about Queenie’s personality”

Friends said “we’ve been to a lot of boring christenings but I’ve never listened to every single word like I did at Queenie’s naming day. It was fascinating.”

One friend said “The celebrant was ace. It was like you had Sir Ian McKellen welcoming your baby to the world”

Another said “It was amazing. Having Nick made it so official yet fun. It was like an episode of ‘This Is Your Life’ for Queenie.”

Family said they were laughing at many points in the ceremony and in tears at others and it was a day they wouldn’t forget. We had a few babies in attendance whose parents said they had never heard of a Naming day but would be following suit after the impact of ours.

And personally, Josh and I just want to say that from the first contact with yourself, you have been nothing but friendly and professional. I gave you a lot of information and couldn’t believe how much of it you managed to fit into the script. Your delivery on the day was so personal, it was as if you had always been a friend of the family and knew Queenie so well. You immediately put us all at ease. Josh had been a nervous wreck prior to the ceremony but your relaxed attitude had him laughing and joking. You truly made our baby’s day so special and memorable. We cannot thank you enough. The service you provide is excellent value for money. You made the day!”  Bethany and Josh Riley for Queenie.   October 22nd 2017

“Thanks so much for the lovely ceremony, we thought it was wonderful and had so many comments from friends and family saying how much they enjoyed it.”   Andrea Nevitt and Tim Benyon for Beatrice  October 28th 2017

“We would just like to thank you for such an incredible script – so personal and meaningful – it has exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait for the day!” Jonny Roberts and Katie Lannon, July 2017.

“Nick was very welcoming and approachable in advance of our daughter’s naming day. He was open to ideas on what we wanted to be included in the ceremony and was quick to respond to feedback. Nick was brilliant at communicating and gave us lots of confidence in him before we’d even met him.  On the day we were complimented many times on how thoughtful the ceremony was and how well it was presented by Nick. That was all down to Nick’s hard work. ”    Katherine Owen and Matthew Bullas, July 2017

“Nick was truly wonderful at every stage of the planning for our daughter’s naming day. He executed the ceremony itself perfectly with warmth and laughter, to an audience of guests who had not ever experienced a humanist ceremony before. He blew everyone away and we were inundated with comments on how great the whole thing was. We would recommend him to anyone and will be using Nick’s services again if we’re lucky enough to have another child!”   Jess and Greg Thornton, July 2017

“Thank you very much for a wonderful ceremony for Annie’s baby naming.  From the information we provided you developed a wonderful and personal script, and the additional readings and words that you chose fitted perfectly with our personality and style. Everybody commented on what a wonderful ceremony it was to celebrate our little girl’s arrival in to our family. Thank you for all your efforts both on the day and making sure all the necessary preparations were in place beforehand. We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family.”   Jennie and Neil Riding.   May 2017

“It was absolutely brilliant and we have had nothing but compliments from our guests, saying how wonderful and personal the ceremony was and how great you were at leading it. Quite a few have mentioned that they would like to do something similar for their own little ones. Thank you for making it all so easy in the run up as well. You took the limited information we told you and turned it in to a beautiful story so personal to Amelie and all that we want for her.  Also the way you handled any changes that were thrown at you last minute was brilliant, so thank you so much. ”   Dan and Vicky Gwynne.    May 2017

“Dear Nick, we had THE best of days! And the positive comments and love for you have been flowing. I have a feeling you’ll have a few bookings in the future off the back of yesterday.  We cannot thank you enough…everything was just perfect.”  Jane & Chris Woolnough March 2017.
