Joan performed our baby naming ceremony for our 3 month old baby boy Charles Mitchell on July 20th 2009.

Our baby naming was held at the beautiful ceremony and reception venue at Silver-Ridge (approx 8 minutes from K.Mart in Toowoomba).

The decorations our civil celebrant Joan organised at our request for our baby naming ceremony included silver and blue helium balloons, colour coded chair bows, beautiful chair covers and deluxe table cloths for the morning tea that followed (had our baby naming been for a girl the bows and balloons would have been pink).

Joan was able to organise all the important details of the baby naming for me, which made the day a lot easier, I just didnt have the time with a new baby.

Joan was also wonderful in helping us prepare for our ceremony, she was a great celebrant. We were able to sit down and go through the ceremony and create something which suited us.

We also decided to add a further special touch and have a sand ceremony incorporated ,the sand was poured by 4 members of our immediate family. We will always treasure the container with the colored sand mixed together as one (never to be separated).

We decided to ask our guests to "bring a plate of finger food" along and we then had a combined finger food morning tea outside.

We were also very impressed with the glorious views at the venue we chose.
All our guests commented on the lovely ceremony Joan performed and how the venue was just perfect for our day.

I would highly recommend Joan and the venue as a celebrant  to anyone who is wanting to have an intimate ceremony with all the special touches.

Kind Regards
Bellinda, Luke, Zara and Charlie

A big thank you again to you both (Joan and Geoff) for making our naming ceremony for our little girl memorable for both Ben and I and for our family and friends.

Joan performed the ceremony. Joan was so organised throughout and was always accomodating to my questions.

Nothing was a hassle for Joan, which was greatly appreciated.

Thank you again.
