Sheryl Monk Celebrant
‘ Ceremonies crafted for you
Whether you're celebrating love or saying goodbye, your ceremony should feel true to you — personal, heartfelt, and handled with care
by Sheryl Monk
Hi, I’m Sheryl — celebrant, storyteller, ritual-maker, and quiet space-holder for wildly meaningful love stories.
Are you looking for a celebrant who will love your vibe? I love to work with creative, spiritual, non-traditional couples who want a ceremony that feels deeply personal.
Whether you're celebrating the life of someone who followed their own path, eloping barefoot in the woods, gathering your people under festoon lights, or blending cultures, stories, and spirituality into something utterly unique — I’ll meet you there.

A little more about me...
- Based in between Newark and Lincoln in a lttle village but always happy to travel for love stories with heart.
- Background in the court room I was a barrister and manager of lawyers for decades!
- I can be found probably drinking tea, lighting a candle and some incense, tarot card reading, or charging my crystals under the moon.
- Absolutely here for your weirdness, your softness, your rituals, your realness.

BESPOKE CEREMONIES
around life, loss and love
Steam Punk Ceremonies
If you’re dreaming of a wedding ceremony that looks like a page from a gaslamp fantasy novel and feels like a powerful, poetic ritual… you’ve just found your celebrant.
My steampunk ceremonies are handcrafted for couples who love:
You're also craving something meaningful — a ceremony that captures the depth of your love, your story, and the intentional life you're building together.
This is not cosplay.
This is ceremony as theatre, ritual as art, and commitment as rebellion.
🕯️ What your steampunk ceremony might include:⚙️ A poetic, bespoke script inspired by your story, crafted with the elegance of Victorian literature and the punch of sci-fi surrealism.
🎩 Steampunk vows — dramatic, lyrical, and true. We can write them together or I’ll ghostwrite from your love letters and chats.
🖋️ Symbolic rituals — handfasting with clockwork charms, ring warming with engraved cogs, a unity potion ceremony brewed before your guests, or custom sigils sealed in wax.
💬 Dramatic readings from Poe, Shelley, Byron, or your own sacred texts.
🎭 A tone that balances theatrical flair with emotional truth — never parody, always powerful.
If you’re planning a steampunk ceremony let’s design something unforgettable. Something poetic. Something with smoke, soul, and a hell of a lot of heart.
