Naming

Welcome your new addition with a personalised naming ceremony! Whether it's a baby, an adopted child, or stepchildren, celebrate their arrival and identity in a unique way. Unlike traditional religious ceremonies, A bespoke naming ceremonies will enable you to celebrate in a way that reflects your family's values and culture. Involve friends and family in a one-of-a-kind celebration tailored just for you. Whatever your reason for wanting a naming ceremony, I'll ensure it is a day filled with joy and love.

How it works Deb Reed Celebrant Essex dandelion logo

I will meet you in person to craft your bespoke naming day ceremony together. As your celebrant, I'll collaborate closely with you and your family to provide a truly personalised experience.

From selecting meaningful readings, poems, and songs to incorporating special symbolic rituals like tree plantings or sand ceremonies, I'll guide you every step of the way.

To ensure your ceremony reflects your unique story, I'll provide a tailored questionnaire for you to share insights about your family and you can review and refine the ceremony script until it’s perfect.

On the day Deb Reed Celebrant Essex dandelion logo

On the day of your ceremony, I'll ensure ample time for preparation and coordination. I'll provide clear instructions and guidance to your guests, outlining their roles and responsibilities for the occasion.

Ahead of the ceremony, I'll liaise with any designated "guide parents" or mentors, briefing them thoroughly on their involvement. During the ceremony, I'll deliver a personalised and memorable naming day experience, incorporating all the unique elements we've discussed.

Additionally, you'll receive a beautifully crafted naming day certificate as copy of your script as a memento of your special day.

Memories Deb Reed Celebrant Essex dandelion logo

Looking to preserve the memories of your naming ceremony? I also offer exclusive photography and videography service! I will capture the essence of your ceremony with photos and cinematic footage. Included in my ceremony package, you'll receive a professionally edited showreel with the highlights of your special day.

Additionally, all images and videos will be provided to you on a memory stick for your keepsake collection. See below for an example from a recent ceremony.
