Your Story...with Sharon Atherton Event Planning Services
Fully trained and NOCN accredited
Independent Civil Celebrant
About Me...
Your Life Is Full Of Stories That Deserve To Be Heard...
Hi, I’m Sharon, and I am a fully trained and NOCN Accredited Independent Civil Celebrant. I offer event planning services delivering truly unique and personal ceremonies, from weddings and vow renewals to naming ceremonies and funeral services.
I’d love to share a little more about myself because choosing the right celebrant is all about finding someone whose energy, warmth and style match yours and feel just right for the occasion.
I am a vibrant, family‑focused person who brings warmth, personality and genuine connection to every relationship in life. Married and a mum to four grown up children and a proud nana of two, I know exactly how powerful family stories and dynamics can be. I will weave that understanding beautifully into the ceremony I craft for you.
I am sociable, friendly and full of life and I love meeting friends, good food, live music and the odd drink or two on a night out. I am also a passionate football fan and a loyal season ticket holder at Mansfield Town FC, which is my local football team.
Along with my husband, friends and other family members travelling the world is one of my favourite hobbies, so destination weddings are definitely my thing.
When I do have a spare half hour to myself I love to settle into a corner of the garden in summer or on the sofa under a blanket in the winter and emerse myself in a good fictional novel with a coffee.
With over 20 years’ experience in NHS management, I bring professionalism, calm confidence and exceptional people skills to the celebrant role. Today, I deliver bespoke ceremonies across all life’s milestones while also shaping the future of the profession as Training Programme Manager for the International College of Professional Celebrants in Settle.
Whether I am meeting new couples for the first time, supporting families, or mentoring celebrants in training, my superpower is simple, I 'listen'. I love hearing people’s stories and turning them into unforgettable moments filled with meaning, joy and authenticity.
If you want a celebrant who offers a safe space, is warm, engaging and genuinely invested in your story, I am the one for you. I will make your ceremony feel truly yours as we tell your unique life stories together.

Celebrating Love and Unity
No Ceremony Too Big Or Too Small
From a beach wedding in the Maldives to a teepee wedding in your local park, no love story is too big or small to tell using my event planning services as a celebrant.
I believe your wedding day should be the moment you tell your love story, celebrating how far you have come together and the lifelong commitment you’re choosing to make in front of your family and friends.
My own wedding took place in March 2014. Although it was enchanting in many ways, it wasn’t perfect. We married at our local registry office, and the ceremony was short, basic, and didn’t capture who we are as a couple. From that day on, I’ve been determined to ensure no other couple feels that same disappointment.
That’s why I took the plunge and trained with the ICPC, completing my NOCN Qualification in Civil Celebrancy, which was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It is a genuine pleasure to wake up each day knowing I’m going to meet wonderful people and put a smile on their faces.
I will share your journey from our first meeting to your special day, reliving your cherished moments together to create a personal and bespoke ceremony. My style is supportive, relaxed and reassuring. I will never expect you to do anything that doesn’t feel like you. I’ll listen carefully to your story, get a sense of how you want your day to feel, and offer ideas to make your ceremony unique, but the final decision will ALWAYS be yours.
Together, we’ll build a relationship that feels safe, fun and trusting, so you can enjoy every step of the journey towards a ceremony that truly reflects your love.
Your ceremony is the beginning of your special day, and it should set the tone, the atmosphere and the emotion for everything that follows.
If I’m privileged enough to be chosen as your celebrant, I will craft a ceremony that tells your love story in a way that will be remembered and cherished by everyone present. A ceremony that feels heartfelt, authentic and beautifully yours.
Go on… grant me the honour of helping you tell your story.
