Why B B B?

My surname might start with 'B' but don't let that fool you! I'm an 'A' when it comes to my job - ​the business of being a professional civil celebrant.

I can't sing a note without setting the neighbourhood dogs into a frenzy. But my ceremonies will make your heart sing even though you may be feeling sad.

I can't dance with my two left feet going the same direction. But my ceremonies will dance to your tune, incorporating your wishes and inclusions.

​I can't paint a picture on canvas with oils or waterpaints. but my ceremonies will paint a picture with words that people will remember forever: a fitting tribute to your loved one .

So you, see, "B" really is the new "A".


Sharon Bonthuys
​Civil Celebrant

​Graduate Diploma in Civil Ceremonies (Monash)
- serving Australia since 2004 -
There are many thousands of religious and civil celebrants currently in Australia performing funerals, memorials, scattering and placement of ashes - so why am I special? 
  • I'm right here in the central west. Save yourself some money bringing someone in from outside, and 'buy local'!
  • I'm neither "young 'n vibrant" nor "over-the-hill" but somewhere in-between.​
  • I moonlight as an award-winning journalist and published author, so I write beautiful words.​​ 
  • ​I've been a civil celebrant for 19 years and have performed hundreds of ceremonies so you can be confident that I'm experienced and knowledgeable.
  • I am one of about 100 celebrants in Australia to hold a Graduate Diploma in Civil Ceremonies from Monash University - the highest celebrancy qualification and the only university post-graduate celebrancy qualification in the world. This course is no longer offered, making those who hold the qualification part of a very exclusive group!
