Salt & Vow · ceremonies
Every milestone deserves a moment.
Naming ceremonies, vow renewals, funerals. All handled with the same care, the same attention to the people involved, and nothing borrowed from a template.
WHAT I OFFER
Four ceremonies.
One personal approach.
Naming Ceremonies
The Welcome
A naming ceremony is an opportunity to welcome a new person into your family in front of the people who love them, and to mark it in a way that actually means something. These ceremonies work beautifully as an alternative to religious christenings, or simply as a standalone celebration of a new life and the family gathered around them. I'll write something that captures your family: the warmth, the joy, the people in the room. Something you'll want to look back on.
a welcome worth remembering.✓ Fully personalised, written from your family's story
✓ Inclusion of guide parents or godparents if you'd like
✓ Readings, rituals, and symbolic elements available
✓ Suitable for babies, toddlers, and older children
Vow Renewals
The Encore
A vow renewal is a chance to step back, look at everything you've built together, and choose each other again. This time with the full weight of what that means.
Whether you're marking a milestone anniversary, celebrating something you've come through together, or simply want to give your relationship the moment it deserves, a vow renewal can be as intimate or as celebratory as you'd like.
I'll write something that reflects who you are now, and everything it took to get here.
choose each other, all over again.✓ Reflects your journey, not just your beginning

✓ Can be as intimate as just the two of you
✓ New vows written from scratch, or built from your originals
Funerals
The Farewell
Losing someone is hard enough. A funeral should be a space where grief is held gently and a life is honoured with honesty and care.
I work closely with families to understand the person being remembered: who they were, how they loved, what made them them. The ceremony that comes from that feels like them, not like a formality.
I approach this work with sensitivity and a deep respect for the trust families place in me.
