Naming Ceremonies and Renewal of Vows

Naming Ceremonies

We offer naming ceremonies as a non-religious alternative to baptisms for families celebrating the birth of a new baby.

It is a chance to gather together closest family and friends to welcome a child into the family or wider community.

These ceremonies are also to celebrate or welcome adoptive children and step-children into a new, extended family or relationship.

Any parent can arrange a naming ceremony, whether married or not, with any spiritual or religious beliefs, or with none, or from any cultural background.

Location

They are held at the Register Office or several approved, suitable venues throughout Nottingham.

Booking a ceremony

Please contact us between 9 am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. We can discuss your requirements and arrange an appointment if necessary.
