Naming ceremonies that sparkle, welcoming new family members

York & Yorkshire Naming Celebrant

My name is Melody, a fully qualified, independent celebrant for Naming Ceremonies based in York and Yorkshire.

As a celebrant, I am honoured to be involved in people's special, milestone moments. I specialise in creating naming ceremonies that sparkle, getting to know people, families and loved ones, to create ceremonies that are unique, fun and memorable. I pride myself on providing a VIP customer experience. My clients can trust me to support them and their families to have the best celebration possible.

Naming ceremonies take many forms and I will spend time getting to know you and your family to find out what is important to you. Welcoming a new baby is the most common type of naming ceremony and a key moment in the life of a child and their family. It is an opportunity to celebrate, welcome and introduce your new addition to your family and friends.

Naming ceremonies are not just about babies!

However, a Naming ceremony can take many forms. A family with newly adopted children may want to welcome them to their forever home and family. Or perhaps a celebration of the blending of two families with children from previous relationships, who want to declare their bond and celebrate their new family dynamic. Maybe someone wants to celebrate the beginning of their new life following a divorce. Or a trans person who has changed their name and wants to celebrate their identity and declare their pride for who they are. Ultimately naming ceremonies are an opportunity to celebrate - to celebrate a new addition, to celebrate a new beginning, to celebrate a life milestone, to celebrate a significant moment with all your loved ones.

Why choose me? I love celebrating anything shiny and new!

I have been in the events industry for around a decade. Working as a wedding and events supervisor for beautiful venues in York, I have lots of experience meeting clients like you, building a relationship with them, helping to plan and deliver many perfect events each year.

I know how important it is to celebrate key life moments and will be with you every step of the way to make sure you have the perfect celebration. Choosing me as your naming celebrant not only gives you a unique, sparkling, handcrafted ceremony. You also get someone who has years of experience in the events industry that wants to give you a VIP customer experience.
