I'm Ashleen, the founder and celebrant behind Vibes & Vows.

I believe a naming ceremony should be about so much more than simply announcing a name. It's a chance to celebrate a little person, the people who love them, and the story that brought everyone together.

Whether you're welcoming a new baby, celebrating a new chapter as a family, or simply want to gather your favourite people together to mark the occasion, a naming ceremony gives you the freedom to create something that feels completely personal to you.

For me, it's about telling your family's story. The journey to becoming parents, the meaning behind your child's name, the people you've chosen to stand alongside them, and all the hopes and wishes you have for their life ahead. It's about creating moments that feel genuine, joyful and completely you without the traditions or formalities that don't feel right.

I'll take the time to get to know you, ask the questions that bring out the little details, and create a ceremony that feels like your family rather than a standard script. Whether that's including grandparents, godparents or special friends, sharing promises and wishes for your child's future, or simply telling the story of how they came into your lives, we'll make it meaningful in a way that feels natural to you.

Because every family has a story worth celebrating. And your little one deserves a ceremony that's as unique as they are.
