Handfasting Ceremonies
Handfasting is a centuries old custom from the British Isles that is increasing in popularity. It originated in rural areas where it might be months before clergy came to the village, so allowances were made.
A handfasting ceremony may be incorporated into a legal marriage service or stand on its own to celebrate a common-law union.
The hands of the couple are tied together by ribbon or cord to symbolize the binding of two lives.
Rev. Leslie Brown is delighted to perform this beautiful ceremony in whatever way a couple would prefer.
Baby Naming Ceremonies
Rev. Leslie Brown can help you celebrate a new baby by writing and performing a Baby Naming Ceremony specifically for the child.
The ceremony may include the meaning of a name and the reason behind the choice. The ceremony may recognize generations of the family that came before and how the family history can impact the child. The ceremony can be as individual as the child, its family history and its entry into this world.

“I had the very good fortune to have Leslie Brown officiate the wedding of my son and daughter-in-law in September. From first contact through to the wedding day, Leslie was lovely to work with. As the wedding was taking place in my backyard, I was present at the meeting Leslie had with my son and his fiancee to discuss the kind of ceremony they wanted. Leslie listened carefully to their requests, was quick to offer suggestions when they were unsure and sent them their ceremony for approval before the big day. All this resulted in an absolutely beautiful wedding. I can't recommend Leslie enough if you want a stress free, wonderful day.”
