past naming ceremony clients
Here are just a few of the many thank you
notes and testimonials from naming ceremony clients I've received in

are created and performed.

Hey
Jenny, Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful ceremony.
Everyone commented on how personalized it was :) I really
appreciate how great it was in such a short time, thank you so so
so so so much. Was lovely to meet you and all the best. Emily, whose daughter's naming ceremony was
held in the tranquil surroundings of her grandparents' backyard,
adjacent to bushland.
Jenny, Thank you so much for helping us
create a beautiful and personalised ceremony for our son. Everyone
attending on the day commented on how lovely it was! It was such an
easy process and a pleasure to work with you. Will be recommending your
DIY Ceremonies to all our friends and family. Regards, Michael and Jodi - whose son's
naming ceremony was held in Western Queensland and including a
candle-lighting.
Jenny, you were fantastic. You
had a pleasant manner and we enjoyed
your emotion and humour within the ceremony. It made Jaxon's day truly
special. Thank you! -
Kirsty
and Jason who held their son's naming ceremony in the tranquil
surroundings of Kalinga Park and included a balloon release in the
ceremony.
The experience allowed us to help
create the service, It made it
extremely personal. Jenny was thorough, caring, and detailed in
bringing the script/service to life. She met our timeframes, given the
limited notice, which was terrific. She captured everything we wanted
in the day and found special ways to include those important to us. -
Shannon, who used the DIY
Naming Ceremonies service
for her daughter's naming ceremony held in Sydney.
The whole experience was easy thanks to you. We had the family in
tears, they were all very moved by the ceremony. I received wonderful
feedback all afternoon. My inlaws were not very happy about the idea to
start, but after it was finished they said it was the most beautiful
ceremony they had attended, far better than a christening in
church, as it came from our hearts. Thank you. The process was great
fun to go through, and the presentation of the ceremony script was
beautifully done. It was very self-explanatory, very easy to follow. I
don't think you could make it better. We're very satisfied and thankful
for your time and help. The certificates are beautiful

Blue Mountains.
Once again you exceeded our
expectations. The way you included Jazmyn
with Addison's naming was breathtaking. Thank you once again for an
amazing, heart-warming day. Words can't describe how we feel after each
ceremony. Well done! -
Melissa and
Phillip after the naming of their second daughter, the third ceremony
at which I'd been their celebrant, having also had the pleasure of
marrying them.
Dear Jennifer, I have been meaning to send you this email for
some weeks. On October 24th 2010, I was honoured to attend the
naming ceremony of my darling grandson. I was very impressed with the
ceremony and your delivery of it. Numerous other guests commented
favourably as well. As a practicing Christian, I would have
preferred a baptism but acknowledge that my daughter and son-in-law
have the right to make decisions for their child. Your words at the
ceremony reflected this and took into account that we all have our own
journey in life. I also thought it was lovely to include the
grandparents as you did and will treasure my Certificate. I know
Aaron and Elana were very happy with the ceremony. Once again,
thanks for a experience and I wish you all the best. Kindest
Regards -
Angela
We had a great day. All of our friends and family made commens about
the ceremony! They thought it was personal and about family adn love.
thanks for making it a great day. We would have no hesitations in
recommending you to others. Many thanks -
Ursula, Andrew, Elodie and Nicolas
Was extremely happy with the ceremony. It set the mood for the rest of
the day. Thank you so much. -
Andrea
and Simon. It was a great pleasure to conduct the naming ceremony for
their second son and to catch up with the family and marvel at how
their older son, whose naming I performed a couple of years ago, has
grown.
Hi Jennifer, How are you? I just wanted to say a big thank you for
making Jayden and Maya's Naming Day so magical! EVERYONE is still
talking about how unique and personal the ceremony was. You do an
outstanding job and I could not fault the day. So thank you for sharing
the special day with us all, I shall be sure to recommend you to anyone
in need of a celebrant. Thank you, I appreciate everything you did for
us! Regards,
Alanna and Caleb
whose children were named at Alanna's mother's home in Forest Lake
Hi Jenny, Mat and i would just like to thank
you again for a wonderful ceremony. Everyone said how lovely it was and
well
suited to us! It was just what we wanted! Thanks so much and we'll be
sure to
recommend you! Thanks -
Jess and Mat
who held the naming ceremony for their son at his grandparents lovely
home.
Jenny, both Bryan and I were thrilled with the ceremony. It was so
personal, so relaxed, & you conveyed our feelings, thoughts,
beliefs, values, dreams & love beautifully to everyone there. A
number of the guests came up to us after the ceremony, during brunch,
& said how lovely it was. Joanie said "better than any christening
she's ever been to" & she's
very religious. Thank you
so much Jenny - a beautiful, wonderful, lasting memory -

Dear Jenny,
We just wanted to thank you for performing the most wonderful naming
ceremony for our two children, Renae and Mitchel. Your professionalism
and attention to detail were second to none.
We chose you because you stood out from other celebrants. Your web site
was not only the most informative but also compassionate. We really
loved your meaning behind naming ceremonies and were taken by your
understanding that naming ceremonies are applicable to older children
as well as infants. You believed like us that they are all special
people in our lives.
The ceremony that was as personal as if we had written it ourselves.
You also spent a lot of time on countless drafts to make sure we were
happy with the final product.
On the day, you arrived on time and introduced yourself to all of our
guests and the guests of honour, our children. You also took the time
to have a private discussion with the Godparents. The ceremony was
flawless (except for the crows in the trees that thought they’d join
in!) and a number of the guests made the comment that you had a
presence about you that drew everyone. They loved the personal nature
of the ceremony.
We in particular liked that you involved our eldest child, Casey,
letting him sprinkle rose petals on his brother and sister as part of
the ceremony. His Godparents, who were also present, re-lit his candle
when the others were lit which held great symbolism for us.
All in all, you have impressed us immensely and we would not hesitate
to use your services again or recommend you to others. In our eyes
you’re fantastic!
Thank you very much and we wish you all the very best.

Jenny produced a beautiful ceremony that
was very personal and tailored to include everyone. Many people have
commented since that it was the loveliest ceremony of its type they've
been to and certainly the most personal. The information included in
the ceremony about the godparents and grandparents was particularly
lovely and really distinguished it from other ceremonies I've been to.
The rose petals were a gorgeous touch. Thanks so much -
Karen, who celebrated the naming of her son
on his first birthday.
I thought it was very well laid out,
therefore it made it a wonderful experience that my family and I will
remember forever.

son Domanic's naming included a sand ceremony.

Dear
Jenny,
We cannot thank
you enough for the most wonderfully moving naming ceremony ever.
We were all so touched; there wasn’t a dry eye in the park! We
loved how you made Lily’s day so special and
personalised. I have had phone calls from people tonight just to
say how much they enjoyed the day, and how it was the best ceremony
they have ever been to. We thank you for being so amazingly
talented at what you do; you have a very kind heart and that showed in
your service. Thank goodness we found your website! Thank you,
thank you, and thank you, a million times over. What a wonderful

to perform your ceremony. We both know that you are that person which
is why we would not hesitate to recommend you or ask for your services
again. - N & G
