During a name giving ceremony at Het Concertgemaal in Amsterdam North, as a celebrant I conducted the private get together to welcome the twins.

What is a naming ceremony? Well, if you’re not religious and do not wish for a christening then a non-religious naming ceremony is perfect. It is the ideal way to celebrate the arrival of your child. What’s more, the naming ceremony is an alternative to a christening. The special ceremony happens outside a place of worship.

Oh Clover Jean – THANK YOU! The naming ceremony at the watermill in Amsterdam North was great! We all had the most perfect day and you were a big part of that. Thank you for bringing the sunshine!

We will definitely be recommending your services!

Big hugs,

It has brought together the UK’s top wedding suppliers so I can give you tips about spending less time searching and more time planning! I’m really looking forward to meet specialists face-to-face and taste, touch and try products first-hand.

And no wedding show is complete without a bridal catwalk. Blazing a trail of sheer delight the exclusive designer wear will be a showstopper.
