We had a couple of family members wanting to officiate our wedding and we just couldn't say yes to them. It's such a big responsibility and people don't really know that until it's too late. We hired Betsy after talking to a couple others and it was one of the best decision we made. She automatically felt like part of the family and was an amazing listener. Betsy had many options to write our perfect ceremony script. We even added some of our own ideas. She was responsive and quick to making sure we were all set for our wedding. Betsy had a wonderful presence and voice for the ceremony. I honestly don't have one negative thing to say about our experience with BT Weddings. Message her now and find out for yourself!

We are so glad we had Betsy as our officiant! She helped us create a wonderful and personalized ceremony, and was fantastic with her communication and organization leading up to our big day. Our family and friends had nothing but great things to say about her, and we highly recommend her to other couples looking for an officiant!

Betsy was amazing!!! Working with her from start to finish was a breeze! We built our ceremony using prompts that she had and it was everything we wanted. She and her sister were there for our wedding and they were so sweet and helpful! She handled the marriage license and mailed it for us. I could not recommend her enough !!

10/10 would recommend. We had a lovely day and everything went smooth. Betsy even made a wonderful last minute edit to our ceremony based on a conversation I had right before it started, which was just awesome!

From the very beginning, Betsy was very kind, understanding, and organized about officiating. She tells you exactly what needs to be done based on your location/state, and also provides all kinds of templates that you can pick and choose from to fit what matches you as a couple. She also offers to come for your rehearsal (even attended on a holiday weekend which was so thoughtful), and was always quick to respond with any questions up until our wedding day. During the wedding, she did an amazing job, she has a warm and inviting personality, and she even met all of our witnesses and took a picture with us. She was the best choice for us, and you will be disappointed if you do not choose her. Thanks for everything, Betsy! - Jess & Trevor

Betsy was absolutely amazing! She gave us tons of options for the ceremony. She was very helpful during the rehearsal and actual ceremony. She took care of everything so we didn’t have to worry. (Like sending in our marriage license).

Betsy was absolute perfection to work with. She helped my husband and I create a ceremony that was tailored to us. She was incredibly responsive and professional and went above and beyond helping us choose vows that hit the “traditional enough” mark but also stayed true to who we are organically as a couple. She was a joy to work with and we are grateful she was there to officiate our wedding!

Hello! Welcome to my bio! I am a mother of 2 absolutely wonderful kids! My daughter got married in 2022 and a week before her wedding found she didn't have an officiant due to some miscommunication. I went online and got ordained just in case I needed to step in, but they found someone to officiate the wedding. I then had a couple friends that needed an officiant for their wedding and the rest is history!!! I absolutely love what I do and love meeting new couples and listening to their love story!
