Some of the testimonials received from
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
addition to the many positive
remarks from guests who love the ceremonies, the unique additions,
the light-hearted moments, and heartfelt expression of the
personalities,
values and beliefs of the families for whom my naming ceremonies
are created and performed.
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 & 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.

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
day.

heartfelt ceremony it was. We enjoyed the whole experience and felt
that it was a true reflection of our sentiments. - K
I couldn't be

suggestions of readings that were suitable etc. The ceremony was
perfect - relaxed and informal but really special and memorable. You
really take notice of the type of people, therefore the ceremony just
fits like a glove - N
We have already

for D **** last year and couldn't believe the difference &
"personal" touches at ours - J

trust anyone else with our memories or the creation of them. - K
It is obvious
that you love what you do and when you have a special
occasion to celebrate you want someone who takes pride in what they do
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
We thought the
ceremony was beautifully performed and was done in a caring manner. All
of our guests also said this. I found you to be very thorough when
getting information from us to make sure everything was correct - K.
Jenny, you did
a fantastic job & the comments I received from
everybody said it was one of the nicest ceremonies they had been to. -
