What is a naming ceremony? It’s a celebratory event where you can confirm child's name and special people in the child’s life can promise their commitment. Friends and family can take part in the ceremony and pledge to support you and your child. You could have meaningful readings and music as part of the celebration too.
Where to have your ceremony They can be held at a register office, an approved licensed venue or any other suitable building. An experienced celebrant from our registration service will run the ceremony.
