A naming ceremony is an occasion to welcome a new life into the family and into the world. It is a celebration by all people involved in the baby or child's life, providing parents the opportunity to state in front of family and friends the unconditional love and care, support and encouragement that they will always provide as parents. It is a ceremony where they acknowledge their responsibility to the baby or child and the support offered by friends and family. If godparents or guardians are to be appointed, then this is also incorporated into the ceremony.

Baby & child naming ceremonies have become a popular alternative to a church Christening or Baptism, as they are a non-religious ceremony. Many people today do not regularly attend church, or are unable to make the commitment often requested by a priest or minister of religion. Other parents believe that a baby or child should be given the opportunity to choose their own religion later in life. For these reasons, naming ceremonies have become part of "Australian Culture".

As each family is unique, the naming ceremony is individually designed to suit your own particular cultural beliefs and individual needs.

Venues

Baby and Child naming ceremonies can be held at any location of your choice - a park, restaurant, function centre, the privacy of your own home or even at the family BBQ.

Certificates

The baby or child receives an A4 Certificate as a memento of the day, which can be signed by friends and family who have witnessed this special occasion.
