Ceremonies, Celebrations, & Honorings
Baby Namings
& Welcomings
Whether through biological birth or adoption, welcoming a baby or a child of any age into your lives is a joyous occasion worthy of celebration. Baby naming ceremonies and baby welcomings are a more modern-style celebration focused on welcoming your new child into your family; I will create a ceremony that tells the story of your family's journey that you and your loved ones will cherish forever.
Vow Renewals
Sometimes, when you've been together for so long, you just want to tell the world that you'd do this all again... you'd say YES!
Today, in 2023, we're seeing a lot more vow renewals from couples who legally wed a year or so ago, but were unable to have any guests attend. Their take on the vow renewal is a bit different than those that I've done for decades which usually revolve around a major anniversary date. All renewals are a wonderful declaration of a love that has endured.
Adoption Reunions
Adoption reunion celebrations have become very popular over the past decade. As access to records and DNA matching becomes easier, a new awareness is happening that allows families to focus on the joy of reuniting with their biological families and honoring the path that they all have taken which led them to where they are today. There is no right or wrong way to do this, and every story of love is unique. I'm honored to be a part of people's lives in this wonderful celebration.
