Civil Celebrant Geelong & Bellarine Peninsula — Ceremonies Built Around You
Weddings, Funerals, and Baby ceremonies
I’m Miriam Hart — a civil celebrant based in Geelong, serving couples and families across the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast, and wider Victoria. I’m registered on the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Marriage Celebrant Register and I bring to every ceremony the same combination of quiet competence and genuine warmth that my clients talk about long after the day is done.
Every ceremony I create is built from scratch around the people in front of me — your story, your values, your people. Whether you’re dreaming of something relaxed and intimate or a full celebration with everyone you love, I’ll shape a ceremony that feels completely true to you. Cultural traditions, heartfelt vows, a touch of humour — whatever matters to you matters to me.
Families and couples across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula consistently say the same thing: that working with me made the whole process feel less overwhelming and more enjoyable. My calm, organised approach carries through from your first conversation to the moment that matters most.

Specialist Support for Baby & Infant Funeral Ceremonies
As a Registered Midwife and a Civil Celebrant in Geelong, I bring a rare depth of compassion and lived experience to baby and infant funeral ceremonies — supporting families through some of life’s most tender moments with care, dignity, and genuine understanding that few celebrants can offer.
I understand the hopes that came before. The love that doesn’t disappear with loss. And I know how to hold space for grief that the world doesn’t always know how to acknowledge.
