Simply Human Ceremonies Full Description

I’m Sharon, a Humanists UK accredited celebrant based in Alton, Hampshire, creating personal, non-religious ceremonies across Hampshire and the South.

I create weddings, elopements, vow renewals and commitment ceremonies that are written from scratch and shaped around the people at the centre of them. Your ceremony can include personal vows, readings, music, symbolic rituals, family involvement, moments of remembrance, humour, stillness, or anything else that feels meaningful to you.

A celebrant-led ceremony gives you more freedom than a standard registrar ceremony. The legal part can be done separately, leaving your actual ceremony free to reflect your story, your people, your values, your setting and the atmosphere you want to create.

I’m newly launched as a celebrant, but I’m not new to people. My whole career has been built around listening carefully, understanding what matters, and helping people through important moments with warmth, clarity and care.

Freedom does not mean you have to work it all out alone. I’ll guide you through the possibilities, help you understand what feels right, and write a ceremony that has structure, meaning and flow — without feeling formal, generic or overdone.

Your ceremony can be joyful, quiet, intimate, funny, emotional, reflective, or all of those things at once. It does not need to follow awkward traditions or sound like anyone else’s wedding. It just needs to feel honest, considered and genuinely like you.

Founding Couple Offer: I’m currently offering 50% off for two separate couples who would like a personal, non-religious ceremony written from scratch. Full details are available on request.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What makes your style different?

My style is calm, thoughtful and personal. I am not there to perform at you or make the ceremony about me. I am there to create a moment that feels like you — with warmth, structure and meaning, but without awkward formality or a one-size-fits-all script.

How is a celebrant-led ceremony different from a registrar ceremony?

A registrar ceremony is the legal part and usually follows a more fixed structure. A celebrant-led ceremony gives you much more freedom. You can choose the setting, music, readings, vows, rituals, people involved and overall atmosphere. Many couples do the legal paperwork separately, then have the personal ceremony they actually want.

Do we need to know exactly what we want before contacting you?

No. Lots of couples only know what they do not want — and that is a useful starting point. We begin with a conversation, and I help you work out what feels right, what matters, and how the ceremony could flow.

Do we need to be humanists?

No. You do not need to call yourselves humanists. A humanist ceremony is non-religious, personal and centred on people, meaning, relationships and values. It is often chosen by couples who want something thoughtful and inclusive without religious content.

Can our ceremony include humour?

Absolutely. Your ceremony does not have to be serious from start to finish. It can include laughter, warmth, quiet moments, emotion and humour. The important thing is that it feels natural and true to you.

Can you help us write our vows?

Yes. I can help you shape vows that sound like you. They can be simple, emotional, funny, private, poetic, direct, or a mix of all of those things. You do not need to be confident writers before we begin.

Can we include readings, music or symbolic rituals?

Yes. You can include readings, music, symbolic rituals, family involvement, moments of remembrance, or anything else that feels meaningful. I can suggest ideas or help you adapt something so it feels personal rather than generic.

Where can we have the ceremony?

Because the legal part can be done separately, your personal ceremony can happen somewhere meaningful to you. That might be a venue, garden, family home, woodland, field, beach, or another place that feels right. I am based in Alton, Hampshire and work across Hampshire and the South.

You are newly launched — should we be worried?

No. Simply Human Ceremonies is newly launched, but I am not new to people. My whole career has been built around listening carefully, understanding what matters, and helping people through important moments with warmth, clarity and care. I am also a Humanists UK accredited celebrant.

What is your Founding Couple Offer?

I am offering 50% off for two separate couples as part of my Founding Couple Offer. Each ceremony will be written from scratch and created separately around your story, values and relationship. This is not a joint ceremony offer. Full terms are available on my profile or by enquiry.

Bridebook Special OfferI’m offering a 50% discount for two separate couples who want a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed and completely their own. This offer is available for weddings, elopements, vow renewals and commitment ceremonies. Each ceremony will be created separately and written from scratch around your story, your values, your relationship and the kind of moment you actually want to remember. A celebrant-led ceremony gives you freedom that a standard registrar ceremony cannot. You can choose the setting, the mood, the music, the words, the promises, the people you involve and the traditions you keep — or leave behind. Your ceremony does not have to feel formal, awkward or copied from someone else’s day. It can be joyful, emotional, funny, intimate, modern, meaningful, beautifully simple, or a mix of all of those things. I’m newly launched as a celebrant, but I’m not new to people. My career has been built around listening carefully, understanding what matters and helping people through important moments with warmth, clarity and care. That is the experience I bring to every ceremony. This is my Founding Couple Offer because it is for two couples who would like to be part of the beginning of Simply Human Ceremonies and help me show future couples what a personal, humanist ceremony can feel like.

Ceremony must take place within 12 months of booking. Terms and Conditions - Available to two separate couples only. This is not a joint ceremony offer. A 50% booking fee is required to secure the date. Applies to new bookings only and is subject to availability. Discount applies to my ceremony fee only and excludes additional travel or accommodation costs. Use of any ceremony images will only be with the couple’s consent.
