About Me …………….. DEBBIE SHAW … CELEBRANT ……..

I'm a proud wife, mother, and grandmother — roles that bring me immense joy and purpose. My husband and I have been married for over 40 years, and we raised our two wonderful children in the heart of Central Otago, right here in Cromwell.

Though our children have since flown the nest, they’ve found fulfilling careers and loving partners. We’re now blessed with three delightful grandsons, who are truly the apples of my eye. Our daughter lives in Wanaka with her husband and son, while our son has returned to Cromwell with his wife and their two boys.

We chose to stay in Cromwell for its incredible lifestyle — the stunning surroundings, the vibrant community, and the closeness to Wanaka, Queenstown, and the beautiful Maniototo. After nearly 36 years of living and working here, Cromwell is home in every sense of the word.

People are my passion. My husband jokes that I love to walk into a room and be noticed — and maybe he’s right! I adore fancy dress, great music, and getting outdoors, but more than anything, I cherish time with family and connecting with others.

Now, I’m embracing an exciting new chapter: becoming a celebrant. If you’re looking for someone warm, caring, fun-loving, and genuinely enthusiastic about making your day unforgettable, we just might be the perfect match. I would be honoured to help create a ceremony that reflects your story, your love, and your dreams.

Let’s make something beautiful together.….

My business is all about :

"Creating moments that matter—with warmth, heart, and a personal touch."

"Your story, your ceremony—crafted with care and love."

"Bringing meaning to life’s milestones, one beautiful ceremony at a time."

"From weddings to farewells—every ceremony filled with heart."
