A Beautiful Beginning

A naming ceremony is a wonderful way to welcome a child into their family and community, celebrating the love, hopes and promises that will help shape their future.

Whether you are welcoming a new baby, celebrating an adopted child or marking another important milestone, we will create a ceremony that reflects your family's story and values. It is warm, relaxed and joyful, and it puts your child right at the heart of it.

Yes, It's a Real Thing, and Here's What It Is

A naming ceremony is a heartfelt, non-religious way to celebrate your child and the people who will help them grow. There is no legal element, and there does not need to be. The birth registration is the legal part. A naming ceremony is about celebrating the people, the promises and the love that will surround your child as they grow. If you would like siblings, grandparents and wider family to take part, we will find lovely ways for them to be involved.

Somewhere Relaxed, Somewhere Yours

Naming ceremonies suit relaxed, welcoming settings where children can simply be themselves: a family home, a garden, a village hall, a community space, a beautiful outdoor spot or a boutique venue. The setting should feel comfortable and inclusive, a place where everyone can gather and enjoy the moment together.

Your Investment

Naming ceremonies start from £450. Every ceremony is individually written to celebrate your family's story. Travel beyond a 30-mile radius of Barnstaple is charged at 45p per mile, with any accommodation or ceremony items agreed in advance.
