Celebrity Speakers is New Zealand's foremost professional Speakers and Entertainment agency, established in 1989. For over 35 years, the agency has matched event planners with New Zealand's leading Keynote Speakers, Entertainers, and MCs - providing expert advice, exclusive representation, and end-to-end event support throughout.
Celebrity Speakers holds exclusive representation of some of New Zealand's most recognised and respected public figures, including Sir Graham Henry, Nadia Lim, Liam Malone, and Lisa King. Alongside these established names, the agency maintains a strong eye for emerging Talent, ensuring clients always have access to fresh voices alongside proven performers.
Celebrity Speakers was founded by the late Debbie Tawse, who pioneered the professional speaking industry in New Zealand. Debbie established the professional standards and codes of ethics that shaped the industry, and built Speaker relationships defined by trust and genuine care — a culture that remains central to how Celebrity Speakers operates today.
Celebrity Speakers will find the right Speaker for your event and manage the process from first enquiry to final delivery. The team assists with media endorsements, contract negotiation, program design, copywriting, and Speaker management — so you can focus on the event itself.
