As a professional
celebrant I am also available to officiate at the following
ceremonies:
NAMING’S
Naming ceremonies are predominantly held for babies or young
children. However, I also offer a range of ceremonies for older
children and adults.

REAFFIRMATIONS
(Renewal of Marriage Vows)
A reaffirmation ceremony or renewal of marriage vows can be
carried out at any time after the original marriage ceremony. However, the ceremony is normally celebrated at or around an
important date, like an anniversary.

ENGAGEMENTS
This is a unique ceremony that recognises the relationship that
has been established and also acknowledges the future of the couple.
Brian and Sandra
COMMITMENTS
A commitment ceremony is held for those people who can not
for a multitude of reasons be legally married. Or who for some
personal reason do not want to marry but want to formalise the
relationship with a ceremony.
Commitment ceremonies are conducted in a similar fashion as a
marriage ceremony; however, for legal reasons the vows are altered
so as not to confuse the ceremony with a legal marriage.
HAND FASTING
Hand fasting ceremonies are frequently incorporated into a
wedding or commitment ceremony. These ceremonies can be celebrated
by using a single ribbon or platted tie or as many as ten ribbons or
ties.
DIVORCE or CLOSURE
Divorce ceremonies are offered to give closure to one or both of
the parties involved. These ceremonies can be very beneficial to a
person who feels betrayed by their previous partner. The ceremony
can also be used to commence a new beginning.
A
ceremony can also be held when a person has left a work position and
feels that a ceremony would be appropriate.
FUNERALS
A funeral ceremony is one of the oldest ceremonies known to
mankind. This service offers closure to those left behind and is
always handled delicately. Each funeral service must be individually
crafted to suit the person. As we are all individuals we all require
a unique ceremony to acknowledge that we have been an integral part
of this world.
COMPANION ANIMAL FUNERALS
For many people including myself our animals are our children. Be a Cat, Dog or Bird they are a part of our family. As such when a
pet passes away they too deserve the right to a ceremony to
recognise their lives and the effect that they have had on our
families.

BOAT, AIRCRAFT, CAR AND HOUSE NAMING’S
As the name suggests a suitable name is officially given to a
boat, aircraft, car or home. In the case of boats and aircraft there
are definite rules to be followed so as not to offend the maritime
or aerial gods.

FIRST SCRATCH
CEREMONIES
Many people worry about the first scratch that they will get on
their brand new boat, aircraft or car. This ceremony alleviates the
stress of the actual damage. The ceremony normally takes place
before the damage has occurred, however, normally there is a small
scratch placed on a selected part of the vehicle during the
ceremony.
OFFICIAL OPENINGS FOR NEW BUSINESSES AND BUILDINGS
This is an official way of acknowledging the commencement of a
new business venture or the opening of a new building, park or
bridge.
CROSSING THE LINE
This ceremony is normally performed when people are crossing the
equator for the first time. However, this ceremony can also be used
when crossing any of the latitude or longitude lines that divide our
planet. And in some cases the line can be moved to suit the
occasion.
