Miriam Hart, your Bellarine Peninsula celebrant
As a civil celebrant, there’s a moment in every ceremony: the one where everything else falls away, and it’s just the people who matter most, saying the things that matter most. Helping create that moment is what Miriam Hart does, and it’s what she loves.
Based on the Bellarine Peninsula, Miriam is a civil celebrant serving couples and families across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast.
Miriam Hart, a Celebrant Who Listens Deeply
Miriam’s approach starts with listening. Before a single word is written, she wants to know who you are: your story, the life you’ve lived or the life you’re honouring, the people who matter, and what you hope everyone walks away feeling. That’s the foundation every ceremony is built on.
From there, she takes care of everything: the legal paperwork, the structure, the timing, the small details easily overlooked, all handled with calm, organised care that means you arrive on the day without a knot in your stomach.
No two ceremonies Miriam creates are the same. Some are quiet and intimate. Some are large gatherings full of tribute and story. What they all have in common is that they feel completely, unmistakably like the person, or people, at the centre of them.
A Celebrant with a Difference
Before becoming a civil celebrant, Miriam worked for many years as a Registered Midwife, a background that shapes everything about how she shows up for the families she works with.
That experience is particularly meaningful when it comes to baby and infant funeral ceremonies. Few celebrants bring both the professional training and the lived understanding to support families through the loss of a baby or young child, and Miriam is one of them.
Miriam is registered on the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Marriage Celebrant Register and holds current registration as a practising Registered Midwife.
