Naming Ceremonies
Setting the right mood and tone for this special event again often falls to the celebrant. Capturing the feeling and tone you desire is a unique skill I possess and enjoy creating a ceremony that fits you perfectly.
It is a tradition that dates back centuries and has gone through many iterations and changes over the years. Regardless of what kind of ceremony you desire, be it traditional, casual, modern or alternative, I have a lot of experience in performing these joyous occasions and embrace the opportunity to work with you to perform a ceremony remembered for years to come.
Please feel free to contact me directly on 0407 370 287 to answer any questions or queries you may have, completely obligation free of course.
Creating and conducting a large range of ceremonies is my absolute passion and I look forward to speaking to you about how I can help you with your special day.
