Meet Ann & Dave
Registered legal solemnisers
We're Ann Dempsey and Dave Russell: a married couple, fully registered legal solemnisers and, above all, big fans of love!
Our story started at our own wedding. We loved the freedom, warmth and personal touch of the ceremony so much that we trained for two years to become solemnisers. Hundreds of celebrations later, we're still focused on creating relaxed, romantic and genuinely fun ceremonies that feel like a joy, not a lecture.
We believe your ceremony should be a true reflection of who you are. Whether you're planning a legal wedding, an elopement, a baby naming, a vow renewal or a commitment ceremony, you have complete freedom to shape every moment, and we'll tell your story in a warm, fun way.

Hello, I'm Ann
I love getting to know couples and finding the little details that make their story their own. Couples often tell us my ceremonies feel deeply personal and full of love from start to finish, and I'll happily go above and beyond to make sure everything feels right on the day.

Hey, I'm Dave
I love a ceremony that gets the whole room smiling. I'll put you and your guests at ease, bring plenty of warmth and humour, and bring your story to life, with a few happy tears along the way.
What we bring
 
Hers or his: you can choose whether you'd prefer a female or male celebrant.
Fully HSE registered, with total freedom to include, or drop, any traditions, rituals or personal touches you choose.
From your first meeting to the final signature, we'll settle those pre-ceremony nerves, get your guests laughing and fill your day with real emotion, happy tears and memories you'll always cherish.
 
Kind words from
Tanya & Bryan
He had us all at ease, it was so personal and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
