Naming Ceremony        ​​$700
or Citizenship Celebrations

Please choose my Celebrant services for your Naming or Citizenship celebration services. I will help to tailor what is said and how the order of ceremony takes place. 

Planning a ceremony (that is not a marriage/wedding) is possible during these times of Public Health Orders, but the event numbers will be strictly limited - so let's discuss your options!

The baby-naming ceremony stems from the desire of the parents to the child… first and foremost it is their event, for family and friends too.

The length of a ceremony can vary depending on what the couple want and need. Some people prefer a short ceremony of about 10-15 minutes, others prefer longer and like to involve various rituals, family members and friends taking about 20 – 40 minutes.

There are many rituals to choose from. They may include a butterfly release, wish box, candle lighting, media (e.g. photos or video) display or hand/foot print.

With a naming ceremony, the child who is being honoured may be of any age… when dealing with babies and young children it is difficult to ensure they will remain calm. The parents should have a coordinated plan for this before they make their entrance with the child.

Katie's Funeral Celebrant website
"She’s your brand new little daughter. 
​So enchanted, sweet and smart. 
​With a coo, she’ll have you smiling.
With a laugh, she’ll own your heart
It’s the time for hugs and kisses
Reassurance when she cries
It’s the time for making moments
Full of love and lullabies
You will empower her as a woman supporting her goals and hopes
But these golden days of childhood come and go so very fast
Hold her tight and love her dearly
Make these precious moments last."
