Your Naming Celebrant in Kent
I’m Justine, a Naming Celebrant in Kent, creating relaxed, joyful and completely personal naming ceremonies for families across Kent and the South East.
A naming ceremony is a wonderful opportunity to pause, gather the people who matter and celebrate your child and their place in your family. It might be to welcome a new baby, celebrate a first birthday, welcome an adopted child or stepchild, or bring a blended family together.
There are some fabulous venues across Kent for naming celebrations, but your ceremony can take place almost anywhere: at home, in your garden, at a favourite venue or somewhere outdoors that means something to your family.
I will take time to get to know you and hear your family story before writing your ceremony completely from scratch. Then, on the day, I’ll be there to lead the celebrations, involve your family and friends and, most importantly, make sure we properly celebrate your child.
What Is A Naming Ceremony?
Naming ceremonies are fun and light-hearted, but they can also contain some really meaningful moments.
There is no set format, so we can include promises from parents and guideparents, readings, music, contributions from grandparents or siblings and symbolic elements or rituals that have particular meaning for your family.
And because children are wonderfully unpredictable, nobody needs to worry about a baby crying, a toddler wandering off or everything not happening exactly as planned. It is all part of making the ceremony feel relaxed and natural.
As a naming celebrant in Kent, I regularly work across Ashford, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury and am happy to travel further afield.
If you’re thinking about a naming ceremony, whether for a new arrival, a first birthday or another important moment in your family’s story, please get in touch or visit my website to find out more.

1 Review on “Kent Funeral Celebrant – Modern Ceremonies with Justine”
Justine did a lovely service for my brother and helped us through a very sad time, the occasion was very special to us all and Justine was a major part of the day, so grateful to you Justine thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Justine did a superb job at the funeral of my dad at Kent & Sussex crem in Tunbridge Wells last week. My step mother had provided the main points of his life, together with some fond memories and anecdotes gathered from me and my two brothers. Justine skilfully created a very touching and personal tribute of his well-lived life that was at once solemn and uplifting. It was very well done and delivered beautifully. Thank you.
