Congratulations, you have been granted the most precious gift of life a 'beautiful new baby' and you want to formally present the child to your community, family and friends. A Naming Ceremony is the perfect way to celebrate this joyous occasion.

Together we can create a personal and meaningful ceremony that may include family traditions or can incorporate various symbols such as sprinkling of magic dust, scattering of flower petals or drops of water. You may wish to include a candle-lighting segment to signify guidance, protection and a blessing of the child’s journey through life. Parents, Godparents and Guardians acknowledge their responsibility and pledge their important role in the child’s future development.

Presentation of Certificates is an integral part of the ceremony and is formally presented at the conclusion of the ceremony to the Parents, Godparents and Guardians, on behalf of the child. Other certificates can be organised for special people for an additional fee.

Name-giving ceremonies are non religious and can be performed for children of any age. The most popular is shortly after birth of the child or the first birthday. You may choose to name other children in the family as part of the same ceremony for a small additional cost.

A booklet of your child’s naming ceremony will be presented to the parents as a memento. Duration of ceremony varies from 15–30 minutes according to the very individually designed ceremonies.
