Your Day, Your Way …

Debbie Shaw, Central Otago Celebrant

Let’s chat about your plans, your style, and how we can bring your ceremony to life.

Make It Happen

Based in beautiful Cromwell — the heart of Central Otago — I create relaxed, joyful ceremonies that celebrate you.
Nestled between Queenstown and Wānaka at the head of Lake Dunstan, this stunning region offers endless backdrops for your perfect day — and I’m here to make it unforgettable.

Whether it’s a wedding, elopement, vow renewal, or special celebration, I’ll help you craft a ceremony that’s personal, genuine, and full of heart.

Local & loving it! I’m proud to call Central Otago home — but I’m always happy to travel.
Let’s chat about your location and occasion — and start planning something wonderful together.

Hi, I’m Debbie

Surrounded by the mountains and lakes of Queenstown and Wānaka, I get to help couples tie the knot in some of the most beautiful places in New Zealand.

I believe your ceremony should feel like you — relaxed, heartfelt, maybe a little bit cheeky, but always memorable. Whether it’s lakeside, vineyard, backyard or mountaintop, I’ll help make your day special from start to finish.
