Episode 40 - Holding space for love, legacy, and life’s most meaningful moments” w/Vic Thomas, NZ Celebrant & Founder of My Celebrant

Guest: Vic (Victoria) Thomas – New Zealand Celebrant & Founder of My Celebrant

In this heartfelt and globally-minded episode of *Now You May Kiss™, Wedding Officiant and Celebrant for Life™ Chanelle Carlin sits down with Vic (Victoria) Thomas, a New Zealand-based marriage celebrant and the founder of My Celebrant—the world’s first celebrant-specific business management platform.

Together, Chanelle and Vic explore what it truly means to be a celebrant: not just someone who officiates weddings, but a professional who holds space for life’s most meaningful milestones. From deeply personal ceremony creation and micro-weddings, to building sustainable, heart-led businesses that support family life, this conversation beautifully blends love stories with leadership.

Vic shares how becoming a celebrant — and later a mother of three — inspired her to rethink systems, boundaries, and client experience, ultimately leading to the creation of the mycelebrant app, now live in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and Ireland. The episode also reflects on the sacred impact of marriage itself, the shifts that occur after “I do,” and the privilege celebrants hold as witnesses to love, legacy, and lifelong commitment.

Whether you’re a couple planning a meaningful wedding, a celebrant seeking alignment and sustainability, or someone who believes in the power of intentional ceremony, this episode will leave you inspired, grounded, and full of hope.
