IIRC, rave's fic Bryter Layter, she has James and Lily having an 
entirely Muggle-style wedding (which, on the theory of the bride's 
parents paying for the wedding, makes sense -- and Hermione is also 
Muggle-born) and then having an entirely Wizard-traditional naming 
ceremony for Harry to make up for it. In which the officiant is a 
"druid".

I have severe doubts about whether wizards HAVE any entirely 
Wizard-tradition ceremonies for life events that wizards have in 
common with Muggles, but I desperately love Sirius's reaction to 
gazing at baby Harry in his arms: much to the druid's annoyance, he 
yelled to James: "Prongs, he looks just like you! A little baby stag, 
a fawn, I'm going to call him Spots!"
