Vow renewals
Vow renewals are gorgeous! They are personal, caring, reflective and very very romantic.
Renewing your vows is a beautiful way to show how much love you and your partner have for one another.
Many couples choose to renew vows after years together or to celebrate a special anniversary. Renewing your vows can be a meaningful way to reaffirm your commitment to the partnership or marriage.
Maybe you want to recreate the romance of that special day and re-commit to each other in the company of family and friends. Maybe you want to do things better than before! Maybe you want a service that is more personal, holds more meaning than it did before during traditional ceremonies. We have all matured and developed personalities and opinions that differ from when we were young. I can create a ceremony that reflects you as individuals and as a couple in the here and now.
Perhaps you have endured difficult times. Unforeseen emotional events that have tested your relationship but you have struggled through together and come out stronger. Renewing your vows is a powerful way of reinforcing your commitment. Standing side by side, stronger together.
Or is it possible that your love for each other runs so deep that you want to shout it from the roof tops again? Well, yay to that!!! Big yes to crazy, stupid love. It is the perfect romantic gesture. Pop the question again on a birthday, holiday or valentine's day.
I can help place the spotlight on the highs, lows and anything in between, document your achievements and special moments within a bespoke ceremony. We can make that happen together.
Naming ceremonies
These are beautiful ceremonies. So warm, caring and supportive. A humanist celebrant led naming ceremony is a way of celebrating and welcoming a new addition to your family. It focusses very much on the child, or children, being named and the friends and family that surround them. People choose to having naming ceremonies to bring family and friends together to celebrate one of life's key milestones.
During a naming ceremony, you will celebrate the beautiful union between family and new life or addition. I will create a ceremony that will be totally personalised to you and your child, announcing to the world that you are officially naming and welcoming them into your family and community. I will tell the story of your child and the special role they play in your family. You will share the hopes and dreams for your child, and may choose to include the significance of their name and why you chose it.
You may wish to appoint supporting adults, also known as Godparents or guiding adults. They can make promises to your child and create an atmosphere of love and support.
You will have the option to include readings, symbolic moments and music in the service, further adding to the personal touches.
Love naming ceremonies!
