Naming Ceremonies
There are all kinds of ceremonies called namings: the Naming of a new child, the Naming of a Blended Family, or a Transgender Naming Ceremony, plus a bunch more. This gives you the chance to come together as a family or community, and promise to support your child, friend or relation through their lives.
They are beautiful events, full of compassion and love.

"It’s very clear how passionate Marcus is about his job. He made us feel very at ease and talked us through everything for our service in great detail. He listened to what we wanted and came up with ideas how to accomplish our vision. Thank you Marcus."

What's in a name?
Below are a few definitions for types of ceremony I offer, but you may have an idea that is not represented here. If so, give me a call and we can figure something out!
There are no legal ties with any kind of naming ceremony, so you have nothing to worry about there. It's just you, and the meaning you want to convey.
Payments Policy
It's pretty straightforward. Basically, on the day you decide to book me as your celebrant I will give you a booking form which will give details such as the date, time, location etc. I then take a 50% of the total price as a deposit in order to hold the date. This deposit is non-refundable, so make sure you're sure!
Then, once we get a little closer (usually a month or less) to the date, I will take the remaining balance of the payment, and then I will release the script to you to be finalised.
I cannot hold the date without a deposit, and I cannot release the script until the final payment has been made.
There are sometimes occasions when extras may be required. Certain symbolic items, a specific costume, a hotel room or travel expenses. If they are known when we book then I will add them on at that stage, or if they are added later I will add them on at the end. You will have itemised invoices for all payments, so it should be very clear.
Payment can be take through bank transfer or through PayPal and other comparable services.
