Naming Ceremonies

A naming ceremony is a beautiful, non-religious way to welcome a child into your family and community. Whether you're celebrating a new birth, adoption, or blending of families, Shared Moments offers personalised ceremonies that honour your child and your unique journey.

Together, we’ll create a joyful event that reflects your values, celebrates love, and includes the people who matter most.
