Happy Family

Because family isn’t made from blood, it’s made from love

​

Families come in all shapes and sizes, each one gloriously unique. Your family is a bond like no other and deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels truly personal.

​

You might be marking the end of a long adoption journey and celebrating the arrival of a much-loved child into your lives. A celebrant-led adoption ceremony offers a joyful, heartfelt way to honour your story and the path that brought you together.

​

It’s a chance to pause, reflect and recognise the deep love, strength and commitment that have shaped your family’s journey — and to welcome your child with open arms and full hearts.

​

From symbolic rituals that children can take part in, to involving friends and loved ones in meaningful roles, a bespoke ceremony is a beautiful way to express everything that makes your family yours.

​

Creating and delivering adoption ceremonies is something I truly love. It’s a privilege to witness the resilience, love and connection that define families formed through adoption, and to weave these inspiring stories into deeply personal, joy-filled occasions.

​

The journey to family is worth celebrating, every single step of the way

Adoption Ceremonies 

Your Ceremony Journey

Here's what you can expect when we work together​​: 

​

  • Initial Meeting: A relaxed conversation to get to know you and your unique story.

  • Personalised Script: A custom ceremony script, tailored to your values, style, and vibe and with as many edits as needed.

  • Guidance & Support: Advice on readings, structure, and adding those special personal touches.

  • Rehearsal: A run-through (in person or online) to ensure you feel confident and at ease.

  • Seamless Coordination: Complete support with your venue, photographer, musicians, and any other suppliers so that everything runs smoothly.

  • Ceremony Delivery: I’ll lead your ceremony with genuine warmth, heart, and presence.

  • Keepsake Script: A copy of your script to treasure forever.

​

Before your ceremony

​

We’ll start with a relaxed chat so I can get to know you and your story. From there, I’ll draft a bespoke ceremony script tailored just for you and your child.

You’ll receive guidance on the ceremony structure, suggestions for readings, and ideas for involving loved ones in meaningful ways. We’ll then meet again to finalise the script and have a run-through, so everything feels just right.

 

On the day

​

You’ll be in a safe pair of hands with a calm, collected celebrant who genuinely loves children,  and all the beautiful chaos they bring! I’ll deliver your ceremony with heart, warmth and presence. If needed, I’ll liaise with your venue and help ensure everything runs smoothly. I’ll also be there to gently support any loved ones taking part, helping them feel confident and comfortable on the day.

Pricing 

​​​

A fully personalised adoption ceremony starts from £300.​ This includes everything above, from our first formal chat to a beautifully delivered ceremony and a keepsake script to treasure afterwards.

​​​​​​​

If you'd like to talk more about what’s right for you, I'm always happy to start with a relaxed, no-obligation chat to see if we're the right fit.
