Naming Ceremony Celebrant in East Sussex
Personalised naming ceremonies for babies & children
Welcoming a child into your family is a special moment, and a naming ceremony is a beautiful way to celebrate their arrival, name and the people who will support them throughout life. As an independent naming ceremony celebrant in East Sussex, I create warm, inclusive and personalised ceremonies for families in Eastbourne, Lewes, Hastings, Seaford and the surrounding areas.
What is a naming ceremony?
A naming ceremony is a non-religious celebration that welcomes your child into your family and community. It is a chance to:
- Officially announce your child’s name
- Celebrate your values and family story
- Involve parents, siblings, grandparents and chosen supporting adults
- Create a meaningful memory
Naming ceremonies can be held at home, in a garden, at a venue, or outdoors and are suitable for babies, children and even adults who wish to mark a name or life change.
A ceremony designed around your family
Every naming ceremony I create is completely unique. There is no set script or formula, we build the ceremony together.
Your ceremony may include:
- A personal introduction and family story
- The meaning behind your child’s name
- Promises or commitments from parents
- Supporting adult or guide-parent promises
- Readings, poems or music you love
- Symbolic rituals, such as candle lighting or tree planting
Everything is optional and tailored to what feels right for you.

Why choose an independent celebrant?
Choosing an independent celebrant means:
- Your ceremony is entirely personal
- There's no religious content unless you choose it
- A flexible location and format
- A calm, supportive approach throughout
I take the time to get to know you, your child and your wishes, so the ceremony is truly yours.
