What is a naming ceremony?
Whether you’re welcoming a baby or child into your family, or celebrating a new chapter as an adult, naming and adoption ceremonies are all about identity, belonging and marking the moment in style. The beauty of these naming ceremonies lies in the personal touch. Embracing identity through a personalised ceremonies can be so special.
Your ceremony can take place anywhere – at home, in a sunlit garden, or even your favourite local café.
Getting to know you
When we meet, you will tell me their entire story. Everything from the first hello until now.
We will talk about why you want a ceremony, what’s important and what this means to you and your family.
Creating their Ceremony
Once I have their story, I will go away and write your ceremony. I write everything from scratch, taking care to get the important details right.
You will always get to sign off the ceremonies to make sure it’s right and throughout that process, you will have unlimited contact with me for those inevitable last minute questions and changes.
The Celebration
I will officiate on the day, leading you and your friends and family through the entire celebration. We will celebrate together your new addition (or circumstance) in a way that feels just right for you.
For adults, naming ceremonies can be a powerful way to honour change – whether you’re embracing a new name, a fresh identity, or simply stepping into a new version of yourself. It’s about celebrating where you’ve been, and where you're headed.
I cannot thank Gill enough for the beautiful way she conducted the funeral service for my uncle. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, patient and understanding, making what was an extremely difficult and emotional time feel a little easier. Her words were delivered so clearly and thoughtfully, with a perfect pace and such genuine warmth and compassion. She took the time to understand the person we were saying goodbye to, and this really came through in the service. What made it particularly special was the personal touch she brought to the whole ceremony. Nothing felt rushed, impersonal or simply “formal” — it truly felt as though I was being supported by a friend, who genuinely cared about getting everything right for us. She helped make a very sad day into a beautiful and fitting farewell, and I will always be grateful for that. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gill to anyone looking for a celebrant who brings warmth, kindness, and a truly personal touch to any special occasion.

Wow and wow and an even bigger WOW! What an amazing celebrant Gill is. Right from the minute we met her, till the minute she finished our ceremony she was absolute fantastic. All the support she provided was exceptional.
Neil and I had Gill officiate our service on Saturday 10th October at Cottons Hotel & Spa. She took time to meet with us before and listened to our story and then made it into a fairytale. Every single person who attended our service spoke very warmly about Gill.
Gill, you made our day and we are so eternally grateful. Thank you so very much xx

Gill officiated our wedding ceremony over the weekend and she blew us all away! She told our story exactly as we had hoped and brought our ceremony to life so beautifully. From our very first meeting, Gill made us feel we were in safe hands. She took the time to get to know us, hear our love story and understand our Bridgerton wedding theme. We wanted a romantic ceremony with our love at its heart but also plenty of humour and fun.
Gill wrote the most beautiful script, weaving our love story into chapters and incorporated our Bridgerton theme in a really sophisticated way. It was the perfect mix of class and Lady Whistledown! She even suggested suitable poems for our son to read, making the whole process feel effortless and leaving us with nothing at all to worry about! Gill also printed the reading booklets on beautiful paper and they matched the theme so well ❤️
On the day, her delivery was 10/10. She had our guests laughing while making the heartfelt moments feel so special. Her kindness meant so much too as she checked that we were both okay throughout the ceremony, with tissues and water ready whenever we needed them. (Thank you for saving my makeup with the tissues 🙈!)
I honestly wouldn’t change a single thing about our ceremony. Gill was phenomenal and we would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant who puts so much care into making their day personal and memorable. Thank you so much Gill, we can’t wait for the footage to come back so we can relive it all again! ❤️

Your writing radiates positivity and affection, perfectly capturing the love, values, and joy surrounding Frankie and his family. The storytelling felt authentic, personal, and full of warmth.

Gill officiated our Wedding on Saturday! She has been amazing throughout, nothing was too much! She had made sure to get our story right and it was so lovely to share out story on the wedding day.
She made sure that everything we wanted was carried out and made sure to co-ordinate on the day, speaking to our photographer and venue. Even going the extra mile to check out our wedding venue before the day. Thank you so much for making our day so special.

Gill was amazing and such a lovely lady who made both Ian and me feel at ease! She literally saved the vow renewal by jumping in last minute and we could not have been more grateful.
I would highly recommend her to any couples looking for someone who is calm and giving individual.
Sarah & Ian – Preston
Gill recently officiated our wedding and we couldn’t have had a better day. We felt Gill got to know us, understood us, who we are and what we wanted, and tailored the day, it was perfect.
We’re not the most traditional of people and don’t like to conform to the usual wedding norms, Gill didn’t bat an eye lid. The day went as expected, Gill was so lovely, and we would highly recommend her – thank you x”
