Susan McGregor Celebrant Suffolk Naming Ceremonies

Naming Ceremonies

You might be asking yourself, what IS a naming ceremony? Well, every religion and culture, for thousands of years, has created meaningful ceremonies to welcome new life into families and communities. It’s such a special time, a real ‘right of passage’ taken by close-knit communities, on behalf of the children, to say ‘you have arrived, you are loved and you are an integral part of all of our lives’; it’s a way of acknowledging how important your child is to the life and growth of your family, and of the wider community too. It’s such a beautiful experience and one to be treasured.  

But namings aren’t just for babies!  If you find yourself ready to reintroduce yourself to your family or society after a change, or if you want to welcome new additions to your family for any reason, then a naming ceremont might just fit the bill!

Step 1:
Book your initial, no obligation consultation where we can get to know one another. You can tell me what style of ceremony you’re planning!
Step 2:
Make sure you get that precious date added firmly to my calendar – don’t miss out!
Step 3:
I will send my questionnaire for you to complete giving me all of the details I need to begin preparing your ceremony.
Step 4:
We’ll have a follow up meeting to finalise details after which you’ll review your planned ceremony. We can spend time here making sure your ceremony is exactly what you’ve been hoping for!
Step 5:
You’ll have the chance to do a final edit of your ceremony and ask me any questions you need to.
Step 6:
Your special day arrives! I’ll arrive an hour before to make sure everything is in place ready for your ceremony to begin!

Our ceremony was perfect

5 Stars
Sam and Jen

Wedding | 08/09/2024 | Milsoms Kesgrave Hall

When Sam and I came away from our first meeting with Susan, we knew we’d made the right choice. She’s like a warm hug in the form of a person – very comforting to talk to, and encouraging and supportive when we were making decisions about our ceremony. These traits were important to us, as we had a few untraditional aspects to our wedding, and we wanted these to be validated by the person marrying us. Susan gave us the confidence to make these decisions and feel secure in them.

As a result, our ceremony was perfect. We had everything as we wanted it, and Susan’s words were beautiful. She told our story as if she’d known us for years, and it meant so much to share that with our closest family and friends. Some of our guests have commented that they’d never been to a celebrant-led wedding before, and they could see why we opted for one. They said that the ceremony was unique, and reflected who we were as a couple.

At the end of the ceremony, Susan gave us a little goody bag with our certificate and vows, which we will have framed. She also put an incredibly thoughtful gift in our wedding time capsule, which tied in so beautifully with mine and Sam’s relationship.

We will truly cherish our ceremony for the rest of our lives. It was a wonderful, unforgettable day, and we have Susan to thank for that.

Wedding | 08/05/2024 | Bury St Edmunds

We had the absolute pleasure of having Susan as our celebrant for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible ceremony she delivered. Susan’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made our day unforgettable.

Our ceremony was a beautiful blend of French and English, reflecting our backgrounds and bringing everyone together in such a special way. Susan’s ability to seamlessly switch between languages added a unique touch that our guests are still talking about. Her words were not only touching but also light and filled with genuine emotion, capturing the essence of our love story perfectly.

Thank you, Susan, for making our wedding day so memorable.

Matt and Karolina

Wedding | 06/14/2024 | Bury St Edmunds

Susan was fantastic as our wedding celebrant. She provided all the guidance we needed in the build up, with her attention to detail really helping visualize the big day. Seeing Susan on the day, then made us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Our friends and family couldn’t believe how personal the ceremony was and it truly was the best decision we made in our wedding.

I would definitely recommend Susan as a celebrant as her professionalism and personal touch will make any occasion special.
