Many Australians do not have formal ties with religious institutions, so the more traditional baby christening ceremony has changed. 

All families are excited to celebrate the arrival of their baby, and announce it via a civil ceremony that may observe aspects of a more traditional religious christening, but in a more secular and contemporary style. 

Working with a civil celebrant like Bronwen allows families to create a joyful ceremony that formally announces the arrival of their baby to family and friends. 

It creates an opportunity for people to gather and meet the baby, acknowledge the baby's names and welcome the baby into the wider network of family and friends.

Some families choose to appoint 'god parents' as special adults that will guide and support the baby as they grow and mature. 

It is a lovely way to meld more traditional ceremony with a modern lifestyle and creates an opportunity for a joyful celebration of a new life. 

As with all significant life ceremonies, working closely with a celebrant, like Bronwen, will ensure a well-designed, thoughtful, seamless event everyone will enjoy and remember.
