Get a Free QuoteWhat Is the Sibling Stand-In Service?
The Sibling Stand-In Service arranges staff to fill sibling roles -- older brother, older sister, younger brother, or younger sister -- in situations where siblings are needed, such as weddings, family meetings, memorial services, and family gatherings.
An only child but claiming to have siblings, estranged from siblings, or siblings who live too far away -- there are many reasons a sibling substitute may be needed. Family Romance delivers natural sibling figures.
Through detailed interviews, we learn your family situation and create a believable backstory. Childhood episodes and shared memories are pre-set so that anyone would believe they are real siblings.

Do You Have These Concerns?
Our sibling stand-in service resolves concerns related to the absence of siblings.
No Siblings at the Wedding
There's no one to attend the wedding as a sibling. You're an only child but have said you have siblings, so their absence would create contradictions.
Siblings Needed at Family Meeting
Siblings are expected at the family meeting. You're estranged from your siblings but haven't told the other family.
Sibling Attendance Needed at Memorial Services
You need siblings to attend family memorial services. Your actual siblings live overseas and cannot come.
Want Siblings at Family Gatherings
Relatives ask questions when siblings aren't at gatherings. It's painful being asked "How's your brother?"
No Siblings in Family Photos
You want a complete family photo, but siblings are absent (especially if you've claimed to have them). Siblings are needed in wedding photos too.
Only Child Pretending to Have Siblings
You've been hiding that you're an only child and told others you have an older brother or sister. It's becoming awkward not to introduce them.
Sibling Stand-In Service Case Studies
Here are real examples of our sibling stand-in service in action.
Older sister stand-in for wedding
She needed someone to attend her wedding as her older sister. She was an only child but had told her boyfriend she had a sister, making the sister's attendance essential. We arranged an intelligent female staff member in her late 30s. The sister's career and personality were set beforehand. On the day, she attended as a warm older sister watching over her younger sibling, delivering a moving speech.
Older brother stand-in for family meeting
His older brother was expected at the wedding family meeting. He was actually an only child but had told his fiancee he had a brother. We arranged a refreshing male staff member in his 30s as the older brother. Episodes like "I've always looked after my little brother" were prepared, and on the day he naturally acted as a dependable older brother.
Younger brother stand-in for memorial service
She needed someone to attend her father's 3rd anniversary memorial as her younger brother. She had been estranged from her real brother for over 10 years and had told relatives "he's busy with work." A gentle male staff member in his 30s attended as the younger brother, showing respectful deference to his "older sister" and naturally interacting with relatives.
Younger sister stand-in for family photo
He wanted to take a family photo for his parents' wedding anniversary, but his sister was living abroad and couldn't return. To reassure his parents, a female staff member in her 20s participated as the younger sister, creating natural sibling photos standing beside her "older brother" with a bright smile.

“She attended my wedding as my older sister. Her speech included childhood episodes that brought guests to tears. Many told me "Your sister is wonderful."”
“He came as my older brother for the family meeting. He perfectly fit the "dependable older brother" role, and my girlfriend's parents said "How nice to have such a good brother."”
“He attended a memorial as my younger brother. I was worried since the setting was "haven't met in over 10 years," but I was surprised at how naturally he conversed with relatives. The thorough briefing really showed.”
