Other Ceremonies Naming Ceremonies Baby naming ceremonies are a time to welcome a new child into the family and are a great alternative to a traditional religious ceremony. They can be held within one of our ceremony rooms, at an approved venue or at a venue of your choice with prior agreement. Naming ceremonies are a meaningful and joyous way of gathering the people that are important to you to celebrate the arrival of your child. The ceremony can involve you making lifelong commitments or promises to the child and to each other, and share the love, hope and dreams you have for your child. You can introduce supporting adults in the ceremony who will take a special interest and play a significant role in the child’s upbringing. They can be referred to as sponsors, mentors, supporters or whatever you wish to call them. You may also wish to include other children in the ceremony. The ceremony can include the significance of the child’s name, include readings and music and be as formal or informal as you wish to make it.

Renewal of Vows and Celebration Ceremonies These are special ceremonies for couples who have already contracted a marriage or civil partnership and who wish to celebrate and renew their vows with family and friends, and to celebrate their commitment for a second time. People choose to renew their vows for many reasons, they may have reached a milestone anniversary or simply want to make vows of commitment again in front of family and friends. Renewing vows gives family and friends the chance to celebrate your commitment if you got married abroad with only a few people present, or maybe you just didn’t have the day you would have really liked. Whatever the reason we can help you plan a ceremony that reflects your journey as a couple and include personal vows, re-dedicating of rings, music and readings. You can also choose to include children or grandchildren in your ceremony if you wish. Ceremonies can be held in one of our ceremony rooms throughout the county, an approved venue or an alternative venue with prior agreement.
