Naming Ceremonies

What a wonderful occasion it is when a new baby is welcomed into the world, or an adopted child into the family!


I can offer you beautiful alternatives to traditional faith based ceremonies. Surrounded by family and friends, you can affirm your love and commitment to your child.
I offer ceremonies for many different kinds of families. There is no prescribed way, I will create something that is unique and personal to you, whatever is meaningful to you.
You may want spiritual elements woven into the ceremony.
You may want grandparents, friends, godparents, mentors etc. to witness your ceremony or you may want it to be quiet and simple.
You can choose wherever you’d like to hold your ceremony.
You may want to include music, readings, poems, candles, balloons, or to plant a tree, or something completely different.
Whatever your wishes, Star Ceremonies will create an inspiring ceremony with you for this wonderful life event.
