Baby Blessing

The addition of a baby into a family is such a joyous occasion! A Baby Blessing Ceremony is a Beautiful way to honor family and welcome your child into the world, especially for parents of differing faiths, spiritual backgrounds, or do not practice a religion!
Baby blessings are an alternative to traditional baptisms and are inclusive of different cultures and religious or spiritual backgrounds. Your personal spiritual and cultural traditions are incorporated into a celebration of your precious little one!
In your celebration, we will design a service that is unique and personalized for your family. This may include a naming ritual, readings, joyous music, remembrance of those present in Spirit, prayer, vows of parents and godparents, blessing with water, and other creative or traditional elements that are important to you. Your Baby Blessing can occur in a private home, outdoors, or any other venue of your choice!
