The gift of life is truly wonderful. The birth of a new baby is one of life’s moments that we cherish. And to open your arms and welcome a new child into your family is precious. So if you would like to mark this beautiful time, with a unique ceremony that welcomes your new child, either from birth or adoption, then I would be honoured to help you. Together we’ll create an innovative, meaningful ceremony for you, surrounded and supported by your loving friends and family.

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lou for our daughter Athena’s naming ceremony, and we couldn’t be more grateful to her. From the very first email, Lou was kind and completely personal. She took the time to really get to know us and our family story and created a ceremony that was not only beautiful but truly meaningful to us. The reason we wanted a naming ceremony for our precious girl. Lou has a wonderful way of making you feel instantly at ease, her words were thoughtful, heartfelt, and with a touch of humour, which is why we selected her to be our celebrant. The ceremony felt completely unique to Athena, and so many of our guests commented on how touching and special it was. She was so helpful in setting up the ceremony area at the venue and made sure our sand ceremony and keepsake time capsule went without a hitch. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing celebrant to help us mark such a special moment in Athena’s life and we will always be grateful to Lou for this. We can’t recommend her enough and thank her so much for providing us and Athena with memories we can cherish forever. Thank you Lou xxxx”

Lando McKeown (with Mum & Dad!), 9th July 2023 – Lando seems very interested in the Sand Ceremony we’ve just done!
“Lou conducted our baby’s Naming Ceremony last weekend and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Constant communication and keeping us updated on what she had done, adding a lot of personal touches and we absolutely loved the suggestion of sand blending! We had never heard of a Naming Ceremony before and glad that we did it, a beautiful way to welcome our daughter into the family and appointing guide parents. If we ever had another child we would without a doubt be getting in contact with Lou again, and for any other future life events that we would need a Celebrant for. Thank you so much Lou, we could never have imagined a more perfect day!”
