Naming Ceremony

A name giving ceremony is a great opportunity to celebrate the arrival of your little one, and introduce him or her to your rest of the family and friends.

This ceremony is a wonderful alternative to a traditional church christening, and is perfect for you if you don’t want to go the traditional route for whatever reason.

Whatever your family situation, your little one deserves a well prepared, smooth welcome into this world.

My name is John O’Leary. As a registered Name Giving Ceremony Celebrant, I take my job very seriously.

That’s why, when you contact me, and before we do anything else, we’ll set-up a free, no-obligations meeting (at your place, or my place, or anywhere else) so that we can discuss your exact requirements.

I am based in Auckland, New Zealand, and can meet you anywhere in or around Auckland. If you are unsure about whether I cover your area, please call me to double check.

The process – our first meeting

This meeting is, firstly, for you to meet me, and for you to get a feel about whether you are comfortable with me. As your name giving ceremony celebrant, you need to be able to trust me.

Secondly, this initial meeting is also to get an idea of exactly what you require from me. You’ll get the opportunity to tell me exactly what you want from your name giving ceremony. We’ll work on creating an unique ceremony, reflective of your unique personality.

Thirdly, during this meeting I can also answer any questions you have about your ceremony. This gives you the opportunity to get free advice, tips and help from an experienced celebrant, at no cost to you.

Like I said, this initial meeting is free, and you are under no obligations to use my services. We’ll get the opportunity to meet each other, discuss your plans, and you’ll get some free advice and tips to help make your little one’s Name Giving Day a big success.
