Baby Naming Ceremonies on the Sunshine Coast
Celebrate your little one with a personalised baby naming ceremony
A modern celebration for the tiny human you absolutely adore (even at 3am)!
Welcoming a brand-new baby into the world is a big deal. We’re talking life-changing, heart-expanding, camera-roll-dominating magic. And what better way to celebrate your little love than with a personalised baby naming ceremony right here on the stunning Sunshine Coast?
A naming ceremony is the perfect way to introduce your tiny human to their village of adoring fans and officially say: Yes, this one is ours. Yes, we’re obsessed. No, we’re not sleeping but wow, we’re in love. It’s warm, meaningful, joy-filled and, best of all, totally free from rules, obligations or centuries-old traditions that don’t resonate with your family.
Just pure connection, sentimental goodness and maybe a few happy tears…with tissues provided, of course.
What is a Baby Naming Ceremony?
Think of it like the VIP launch party of your baby’s life. A baby naming ceremony is a non-religious celebration designed to welcome your little one earth-side, share their name and surround them with an enthusiastic audience of people committed to loving them fiercely.
There’s no script you must follow. No textbook structure. Just a beautiful moment to say lovely things about the smallest, newest member of your family. You can include readings, music, symbolic customs and sweet promises from parents, godparents, siblings, guide-parents or the much cooler modern term: the baby’s hype squad.
Why parents are loving Naming Ceremonies
Because they’re personal, meaningful and all about celebrating the family you’re building, with exactly zero pressure to follow anyone else’s idea of what that should look like.
Inclusive and non-religious, your ceremony, your way
A beautiful alternative to traditional christenings or baptisms
A moment for parents to express hopes and promises for their baby
A chance for godparents/guide-parents to commit to their role
Gorgeous keepsakes and memories to cherish forever
Plus, let’s talk locations for your naming ceremony. The Sunshine Coast is ceremony dreamland. Choosing a ceremony spot might be the hardest part of the process:
Driftwood by the Noosa River
A picnic lawn in Maleny with mountain views
A beachfront blessing at Coolum, Moffat or Mooloolaba
Your own backyard, because honestly, what’s more authentic than celebrating where your baby was first introduced to sleepless nights?
Wherever we gather, it becomes part of your family story.
What makes a modern Naming Ceremony extra special?
Today’s naming ceremonies have moved well beyond the traditional, hush-quiet style of the past. Modern families are embracing creativity, connection and personality. Some ideas to sprinkle a little magic into your ceremony:
Plant a tree for your baby so it grows with them
Invite guests to write wishes in a keepsake book
Light candles symbolising love, protection and guidance
Include the song you played on repeat during those newborn snuggle marathons or their birth
Include fur-siblings (yes, dogs are absolutely welcome, someone has to clean up the crumbs)
Every ceremony is created to reflect your values, your quirks and your way of loving your new little human.
A day your guests will talk about for years
People remember naming ceremonies because they feel so real. There’s something incredibly powerful about pausing to celebrate a child’s arrival in a way that truly reflects the people raising them.
Guests laugh, they connect and sometimes they cry those beautiful, silent tears that say: wow, this child is so loved.
And your baby? One day they’ll look back and see that from the very beginning, they were surrounded by a community that showed up for them.
The heart behind every baby naming ceremony I create
Every family is different. Every baby is one-of-a-kind and every ceremony deserves that same uniqueness.

I help you:
Shape the style and tone of the ceremony
Choose readings, customs, music or symbolic elements
Include siblings, grandparents, fur-babies and VIPs
Create wording that reflects your values, identity and hopes for your baby
