Russell Hansen - Baby Naming Ceremonies

		Melissa and Steven Smollett Just wanted to convey a MASSIVE thank you for the fantastic job you did. Everyone at the ceremony commented on how they loved the way you broke the ice and brought everyone in the room together.
		Amanda & Ben O'Yang Thank you for being part of celebrating our marriage ceremony. You certainly were one of our highlights in making our wedding so relaxed and stress free and we had wonderful comments on how fun our ceremony was.
		Libby and Mike Williams Russell, what a wonderful wedding ceremony! Thank you so much for marrying Mike and I, we couldn't have chosen a better celebrant. Your warm humour was well received by everyone and it's exactly what we wanted.

Increasingly I am asked to perform name-giving ceremonies for parents who want to make their family and friends a part of their baby’s first significant celebration. Sometimes it’s a very quiet affair with just the nearest and dearest present and sometimes it’s quite a party!

A name-giving ceremony isn’t only for babies, it is also an opportunity to celebrate an older child who hasn’t previously had a ceremony or to introduce an adopted child or a stepchild into your family.

No matter the age of your child, a name-giving ceremony is a time to welcome and celebrate the new member of your family and a time for parents to state their commitment to the welfare of her or him.
