Reaffirmation of Vows

This service offers couples an opportunity to re-enact or recreate their wedding ceremony with family and friends.  Couples often choose to celebrate a continuing commitment to each other on the anniversary of their wedding often stating their original wedding vows.   As your celebrant, I can create, with your input a special ceremony, designed to suit your personalities with a specially prepared certificate as a record of the occasion.

Name Giving Ceremony

This ceremony is an official welcoming to your child as an important family member.  It recognises the role of the parents, Godparents/Guardians and all others that are important in the life of your child.  This ceremony can be a moving, intimate occasion and as your celebrant, I am able to prepare and present such a ceremony tailored to your wishes.

Commitment Ceremony

Commitment Ceremonies are often based on the traditional wedding ceremony but can also be unstructured and informal depending on the wishes and beliefs of each couple.     A Commitment Ceremony is a beautiful way for any couple, including same sex couples who wish to declare their love for one another, to do so, in a meaningful ceremony.  As your celebrant, I can construct a personal and meaningful ceremony tailored for you.
