I really delight in creating and officiating Naming Ceremonies, especially when I know I’ve made people happy:

“The naming ceremony for our son exceeded our expectations by far. We had not been to any humanist ceremony previously but looked for a personal, non-religious ceremony. The level of thought, attention to detail and care with which Victoria created for us a wonderful ceremony was absolutely fabulous. We were looking forward to it before the event, enjoyed it very much on the day and I am sure will keep this as a beautiful memory for us and our son. We are very grateful to Victoria for a meaningful and personal ceremony which was at the heart of the Welcome to the World-Party for our son. Many of our guests also commented very positively how much they liked the ceremony and enquired about these for different occasions.” JT, Whitley Bay

Hi Victoria,
We just wanted to say thank you again for Saturday. It was such a lovely ceremony, funny and emotional, and exactly what we wanted.
Everyone told us how much they enjoyed it, how special it was, and how impressed they were. My dad in particular has told us over and over how impressed he was with the ceremony. Sarah, Ashbrooke Cricket Club, May 2023

Victoria was amazing. We had a fantastic day. Victoria gave us lots of ideas and suggestions for the day. A lovely informal ceremony that was centred around what we asked for. A relaxed and fun ceremony. Fantastic. SE, July 2021, at home. 

Victoria was brilliant from start to finish. She took time to get to know us as a family prior to the occasion. Her presentation of our sons life so far was both touching and humorous in equal measures. My extended family many of whom have only attended religious christenings said it was the happiest and most authentic celebration they had ever attended. Victoria was just brilliant and if I could give her work more stars then I would. Alex and Rebecca, Anarchy Brewery, Oct 2021

“Victoria really made Daniel’s naming day special – The ceremony was perfect, it turned out to be a lovely sunny day so we changed the plans and had the celebration outside, Victoria took all the changes in her stride and delivered a thoughtful and funny ceremony. Many people hadn’t been to a naming ceremony before and commented how much they enjoyed the day, Thanks again Victoria.” DC, Morpeth

Victoria had been brilliant throughout. She listened to exactly what we wanted and took everything we said on board. The ceremony was beyond perfect! Everyone raved over how amazing and thoughtful she was and so many people said how they wished they had done something similar.  GR, August 2021, Spanish City, Whitley Bay
