HI MY NAME IS SHARON BISHOP

After a successful career as a Drama Teacher and Lecturer I am now an Independent Celebrant who creates beautiful bespoke ceremonies. It is a privilege to support people when they need it most, whether that is at the toughest moment, or most beautiful moment of their life. I can help you to choose to mark the next phase of life’s great adventure with a ceremony that truly reflects who you are, and includes the people and ingredients that are important and meaningful to you.

Whether it be a Wedding, Funeral, Naming Ceremony, Commitment or Vow Renewal you require, rest assured that I will bring warmth, love, meaning and humour to your ceremony in equal measure. I will help you create the perfect occasion for your guests, however large or intimate your ceremony. Together we can create the perfect ceremony for your day, and encapsulate the essence of you, and those you love.

If you’d like to learn more about me and the world of Celebrancy, take a look at my blog. There, I share insights, inspiration, and stories from my work, offering a glimpse into the magic of creating heartfelt ceremonies. And if you’re ready to plan a unique and personal ceremony, I’d love to hear from you—get in touch, and let’s create something truly special together!
