Honouring life’s important moments
Sharon Bonner
Hello, I’m Sharon, an Independent Celebrant based in Staffordshire. I’m passionate about creating personalised ceremonies that celebrate life’s milestones in a way that feels authentic and true to each individual.
I’m married with two grown-up children, and after many years working in finance, I decided to follow my heart and become a celebrant. I consider it a real privilege to be part of such meaningful moments in people’s lives.
When I’m not leading ceremonies, I teach singing and you’ll often find me performing on stage, playing golf, or dancing with my husband.
Choosing an Independent Celebrant allows you to create a ceremony that is truly your own, one that reflects the beliefs, values, and traditions you cherish. Every element, from the words and readings to the rituals and music can be tailored to express what matters most to you.
Whether you envisage something formal or informal, religious or non-religious, your ceremony should capture your unique wishes and dreams. From celebrating your love story, to welcoming a new family member, to honouring the life of someone dear, I would be honoured to help you craft a personalised and meaningful ceremony that feels just right for you.
As a celebrant, I am committed to upholding the highest professional and ethical standards in every aspect of my work. I will strive to ensure that every family, and every life celebrated, is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Next step ...
So, if you're looking for a celebrant who will make you feel completely at ease and who you can trust to deliver your personal ceremony, contact me today for a chat. I look forward to hearing from you!
I absolutely love what I do. I’m enthusiastic and engaging. I love meeting new people, getting to know you, and helping you tell your story. Whether it’s your love story, the naming ceremony of a new family member, or the life story of someone dear, I would be honoured to help you create a personalised, bespoke-one-of a kind ceremony that reflects your dreams.
Together, we’ll ensure your ceremony is truly perfect for you.
I can assist you with poem, reading and music choices and give advice on how to structure your celebration.
I believe that every person deserves a ceremony that is both meaningful and memorable, and I’m committed to working closely with you to make that a reality. There are no limits on the content or location of your ceremony, it’s all about what feels right for you.
If you’d like to have an informal chat before making any decisions, please do get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

The service to which Sharon conducted was a ray of light for such a sad day, she was softly spoken with kind words and very confident in front of people she hadn’t meet before. Sharon spoke with true compassion in her voice to offer comfort to our family when speaking about Jane, we thank her for this.

Sharon led the service with a measured balance of both compassion and professionalism that displayed her deep understanding of a very difficult and sad occasion.
Sharon took time to include the family in sharing their memories of their loved one also giving the opportunity for others to contribute to the occasion
