About Sharon Toner
From first hello to "I do," I've got you.
I’m Sharon Toner — a Hunter Valley marriage celebrant who believes your ceremony should feel like you: grounded, vibrant and unrushed. I make the legals simple, the planning clear, and the day itself calm.
What couples feel when we work together
Trust, from the first conversation
I do what I say, when I say. If something wobbles, I steady it quietly so you don’t feel the bump.
Organisation that calms the room
I work from clear checklists and gentle prompts, close every loop, and leave no loose ends—so your day never feels rushed.
Communication you don't have to chase
I reply fast (usually within a couple of hours) and ask when I’m unsure. You won’t need to follow up.
Presence that steadies everything
I arrive early, read the space, and guide the flow so it feels effortless—the same calm leadership I brought to transformation work.
From change-maker to celebrant
I spent years guiding big organisational change. Now I shape ceremonies from winery terraces to hidden oases and small chapels.
Values I stand by
Care over rush
Quality in every detail, from planning to vows to delivery.
Clarity over guesswork
You'll always know what we're doing and why.
People first
I look after you, your families and your vendors with respect.
Contingency ready
Backups and plans so little surprises stay little.
Why I do what I do
Because ceremonies are, at heart, carefully held stories. I call my process the Love Story Blueprint — a deceptively simple series of questions that draws out the textures of your relationship so guests don’t just witness your ceremony; they feel part of it.
It’s the same craft I bring to funerals and memorials: listening closely, arranging details with care, and telling a story with dignity.
