Soulshine Ceremonies
Naming ceremony

Naming Ceremonies

A naming ceremony is a non-religious alternative to a christening where the parents and guide parents publicly declare their love and support for the child or children from this day forward. This commitment is made amongst their family and friends in a meaningful and significant way.

A naming ceremony is an opportunity to:

Welcome a child/children into the community
Affirm a duty of care witnessed by family and friends
Appoint supporting adults who will commit to taking special responsibility for the child/children
Strengthen family and relationships by coming together to celebrate new life.

What happens?
We will work together to create a unique ceremony with special meaning to your family. Usually lasting 30 – 45 minutes, it can include any or all of the following:

Welcome
Readings, poems, music
The stating of the name
Reasons behind the choice of name
Parents’ promises
Supporters’ promises
Grandparents’ promises
Parents’ vows to each other
Hopes for the future
A toast of celebration
Acknowledgement of absent guests.

Venue & Location?
Naming ceremonies can take place at most venues such as village halls, hotels or your own home. It is also possible to hold ceremonies outdoors.

My fee, which covers preparations, the writing of the script, regular contact up to the day and delivering your personalised ceremony, is £350.

Gift vouchers are available – a lovely welcome gift for the new arrival into your family.

Renewal of vows. Hazel & Gareth (3)

Renewal of Vows

Reaffirm your love for each other. Let’s celebrate.
A renewal of vows or relationship celebration can be a totally private ceremony, an intimate family occasion, or a big public celebration. You may be approaching a special anniversary, overcoming a crisis or facing a new challenge together, or it may just feel like the right time to celebrate what you’ve achieved together and reaffirm your love and commitment

Your vow renewal ceremony could include repeating your original vows and/or updating them to reflect what your relationship means now. You can re-dedicate rings or exchange other special gifts to symbolise your renewed commitment. You may wish to invite family members or other important people in your life to play a part in your ceremony.

As your celebrant I’ll work closely with you to create a beautiful and unique renewal of vows ceremony that celebrates and affirms your past, present and future together

After a free consultation, my fee is £450

A recent review – “Juli is a lovely combination of being warm, approachable, efficient and well organised. She spent a lot of time creating a beautiful and personal ceremony that suited us perfectly.”
Pam & Nigel

I believe that everyone deserves for their day to be special. If you’d like to talk to me about how we can create a ceremony that’s right for you and the occasion you’re marking, please let me know.

Funerals

I meet people wherever they’re at on their emotional journey and hold space for emotions that may come up. I’ve taken 100’s of funerals and it’s an incredible privilege to offer my celebrant role for those special moments.

We can never predict what the day will bring and I will be there for you every step of the way.
Due to my extensive training and experience, I am never out my depth and have a way of working with unconditional love.

I’ve helped to arrange burials on private land and natural burial sites as well as taking services in crematoriums, village halls, hotels and private gardens.
For 2 years, I worked as a Funeral Director (having trained in 2018) but decided the celebrant work suited me more.

I’m organised, practical and well prepared with a great selection of poems and music you might like to choose from.

Celebration of a life can be beautiful

My fee is from £250 and this covers:

Meeting you (in person, online or over the phone) to understand your needs and wishes, and to learn about the person who has passed away
Creating a very personalised ceremony and eulogy/tribute that reflect the life of your loved one
Helping you to choose music, poems and readings if required
Support via email and phone
Liaising with the funeral director and venue if required
Leading the ceremony, and supporting you, on the day
Making sure everything runs smoothly and on time
Travel expenses within a 30 mile radius of SP8 (if your venue is further than this we can agree the additional travel expenses in advance).

£250

Why choose Juli for your funeral?

I will support you with warmth, compassion and sensitivity.

I have many years of experience as a funeral celebrant.

I will listen carefully to everything you can tell me about the person you have lost, and will write – or help you write – a eulogy that celebrates their life, values and personality.

On the day, I will be a reassuring presence, arriving early to ensure that everything is in order.
I will deliver a sincere and beautiful ceremony that allows those present to acknowledge their grief and say a meaningful goodbye.

I place the highest importance on good communication with you and your family.
I can advise on practical arrangements, ensuring that nothing is forgotten.
I can also support any family members or friends who wish to be involved in the ceremony, such as reading the eulogy or a poem.

The ceremonies I lead are not religious but can include hymns and prayers, and all faiths are welcome.

Juli is absolutely amazing to work with. She puts a lot of time, care, and love into the ceremonies that she creates. Truly one of a kind and a genuinely lovely human being. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Her talent for writing and telling your story is fantastic.

Juli’s positivity and warmth is exactly what you hope for when you’re celebrating a big life event. Her energy is gentle, curious, loving, and radiating a sense of non-judgment and kindness. Hope she will preside over our big moments for years to come. Thank you Juli for being such a wonderful part of our special event.

Wedding | 02/25/2023 | Granada, Spain

We contacted Juli last year and she helped us make important decisions that made such a difference to our day. For example, we have 2 children and they were included in the wedding ceremony. My daughter, Chloe (she’s 5 years old) was in charge of the confetti (which suited her, she’s quite bossy). Our son, (9 years) was the ring bearer and looked so great in his suit. It was a lovely family occasion and we are so happy that Juli was our celebrant. She’s really helpful and kind. Thanks again Juli
