Other Ceremonies

There are many occasions in life that are worth celebrating. As well as weddings, I am able to assist and arrange the following ceremonies for you and your loved ones…

Name Giving Ceremony

Having a special naming ceremony for your child allows you to welcome them into a loving circle of family and friends. You are also able to recognise the responsibility of parents, godparents, family and mentors. The ceremony allows you to celebrate publicly your joy at the arrival of your child through a variety of ways.

Through the use of poetry, readings, song and special rituals you are able to welcome your child into the world. One common ritual is to use candles which can then be re-lit each year on your child’s birthday and given to them when they are older. The candle may then be kept to be used on very special occasions that occur during their journey through life.

Vow Renewal Ceremony

When you spend many years together, it is important to celebrate the milestones of your relationship. It is an opportunity to reflect on your achievements and the learning you have undertaken together, to thank one another for the years and to congratulate each other on your love and dedication to the relationship. A renewal of vows also confirms your commitment to your partner for years to come.

Your renewal of vows ceremony can be whatever you wish it to be ... to you, and to your friends and family. Involve your children in commemorating such a special occasion, as well as your friends and family. Honour the love you have given one another through out the years and pledge a life with them forevermore.

Commitment Ceremony

It’s not always possible for people to marry in the legal sense however that doesn’t mean you cannot exchange vows and share the commitment and love you have for each other in the presence of your family and friends. Having a ceremony with your life companion acknowledges the deep, shared commitment you have for one another.

Commitment Ceremonies are carefully planned and like a wedding ceremony may include readings, a statement of commitment, the exchanging of rings or other symbols of love and song. I am here to assist you to create a truly meaningful and memorable ceremony.
