Betty and her husband were fantastic! She was professional, responsive and her warm personality was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend her.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Betty as our wedding officiant. From the moment we met her, we felt an instant connection and knew that we had found the perfect person to marr...
y us.
Throughout the entire planning process, Betty was attentive, friendly, and professional. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our story and what we wanted to convey during our ceremony. Her warm and caring nature made us feel at ease, knowing that our special day was in capable hands.
On the day of our wedding, Betty delivered a ceremony that was beyond our wildest dreams. She crafted a personalized and heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured our love story. Betty exuded warmth and genuine joy, making the ceremony a truly unforgettable experience for us and all our guests.
What sets Betty apart is her ability to adapt and customize the ceremony to our preferences, creating a ceremony that felt authentic to us as a couple. Betty also had a knack for keeping the ceremony light-hearted and engaging, ensuring that everyone was fully present and enjoying the moment.
We highly recommend Betty to any couple searching for an exceptional wedding officiant. She is not only a talented professional but also a warm and caring individual who will make your wedding ceremony an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Betty, for making our special day truly magical! -Abby and Lance
Betty really got to know me and my husband before the ceremony to make our ceremony personal and exactly what we wanted. She was available to us whenever we needed, even hours befo...
re the wedding when I called her in a panic, she was there! She opened up her home to us for our pre-wedding meeting, where we were able to go through the entire ceremony with her. Betty has created a beautiful and original ceremony and we couldn't have picked a better person to marry us! We will always remember her and recommend her to any other couples getting married!
Betty was warm, kind, and so easy to work with. She was provided to us as it officiant as part of a package through the Spa at Norwich Inn, and I don't think we could've chosen bet...
ter ourselves. She called on multiple occasions to ensure we knew what needed to happen along what timeline, and to answer any questions asking the way. She had suggested a sand ceremony as part of the wedding ceremony, and it went so smoothly. She took time to get to know us, and tailored our ceremony to our interests and needs. She was great with our dogs as part of the event, too.
Betty is a fantastic officiant who is extremely efficient and well-organized, and remembers the little details despite all of the weddings she officiates! My husband and I had a me...
eting with her four months before the wedding to go over every detail of the ceremony, get to know each other a bit -- and that was the point the wedding truly felt real to us. Betty was always available for last minute questions and thoughts, and had amazing insights from having worked with all of our vendors extensively in the past to having guidance into the process for timing with regard to our marriage license and name change. She was hands down the best!
We found Betty almost right away and we are so glad that we did! She is extremely professional, very organized and well spoken and gave us the most beautiful ceremony on our weddin...
g day. We met with her in person but was also very easily accessible by phone and email. She always responded promptly to our inquiries and was very clear with us about what to expect on the big day. She followed through with every detail of her own as well as our special requests and we would highly recommend her services to anyone! Thank you so much Betty!
From day one of contacting Betty, she has been incredibly genuine, responsive, kind hearted, and friendly. Before our wedding day, Betty welcomed my family and I into her home to ...
go over our wedding ceremony and get to know one another. Betty is very professional and well spoken. Since then, my family and I have become even closer with her and her husband. Both Betty and her husband are absolutely amazing! They are there for you every step of the way and will make you feel comfortable. There is not enough words to describe how amazing Betty is. She is the best JP out there and truly the only one you should ever consider!!! Betty is an incredible JP and person!!!! Beyond highly recommend, she is everything and more!!!! The best ever!!!
Betty is amazing! She made our ceremony so special and added a sand ceremony as part of our big day too. She’s so sweet. We highly recommend.
Betty was an amazing JP for our wedding. She met with us in her own home to go over details, lineup, and cultural ideas to make our ceremony all about who we are. She is profession...
al and takes her job very seriously. She made sure to always keep in touch when needed and answered our texts/calls within MINUTES! She made our ceremony full of love and memories. Thanks, Betty!
Betty was amazing and did a fantastic job officiating our ceremony. We ended up having to change our date 3 times, and Betty was always very understanding and accommodating. We rec...
eived a ton of positive feedback on our ceremony and enjoyed every second. I would definitely recommend Betty as your JOP!
Betty was the first JP that we met with and we knew immediately she was the one! She took the time to meet with us and explain her full ceremony as well as get to know us as a coup...
le. The sand ceremony she includes was fabulous. Everyone at our wedding raves about how wonderful she was not using a microphone and having the ceremony memorized as to have beautiful photos. Loved have Betty and her wonderful husband to b there with on our special day! Thanks again Betty!
Betty officiated our wedding ceremony. With everything happening with covid we were forced to change our plans numerous times. Betty was beyond kind to change our date and hold new...
dates. She kept us well informed and made sure we had everything we needed for our big day. Our big day came and we had an outside ceremony. Betty officiated our ceremony in the pouring rain and didn’t skip a beat! She was professional and spoke beautifully with no microphone in the pouring rain and wind as if it was a beautiful day. Her ceremony she wrote is beautiful and will remain a special day in our lives forever, if you want someone who is professional, organized and does an amazing job choose Betty!!
Betty officiated our ceremony in June, 2019. Betty was the preferred officiant at our venue, Lake of Isles, and we heard amazing things about her before reaching out. She does a ...
lovely ceremony (that she knows by heart) and is really skilled at projecting her voice while still sounding warm and professional. She was always willing to answer any of our questions and met with us two separate times to discuss our wedding day. We are so glad we chose Betty to perform our wedding ceremony!
Betty was hands down the best! She was so laid back and easy to work with! She made sure everything was perfect for my wedding day! She knew the wedding coordinator at Foxwoods whi...
ch made everything even better! I know I’m a year late posting (whoops!) but i would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a JP! Thanks again Betty! :)
Betty was so easy to work with and made planning our ceremony a breeze. She always responded in a timely manner and made suggestions that made our ceremony so special. We are so ha...
ppy we booked Betty.
My husband and I used Betty as our JOP for our wedding on June 10, 2017 and were extremely happy with how she performed our ceremony! My mom still rants and raves about what an am...
azing job Betty did! I knew from the moment I spoke with Betty on the phone that she was the right person to marry us. When we first met with her, she showed a genuine interest in my husband and I and treated us as more than just another client – she even provided us with recommendations of restaurants for our rehearsal dinner, since we were not from the area where we were getting married! Also, we chose to do the sand ceremony and we would recommend it to anyone looking to do something a little different. We highly recommend Betty for JOP – we loved working with her!!
I got married on 09/16/17, in Woodstock, CT., and she officiated the ceremony for me. It was not the easiest wedding to plan for because I am currently living in Las Vegas. But, I ...
wanted to get married back home in New England. After researching all the different JPs that were available in the area, I settled on Betty. I loved that she wrote her own vows, that her ceremony wasn't some 5-minute "quickie", and I especially loved she did something very unique with her sand ceremony. Because Betty likes to add a personal touch to each and every ceremony she performs, she wanted to meet with me and my future wife. With me being in Vegas, meeting was not going to be easy, but we planned a quick meeting the Friday before my ceremony. She invited us to her home where she got to know us on a deeper level. I really appreciated her warmth and hospitality, and she really took the time to get to know us and to give us an idea of what her ceremony entailed. The sand she uses in her sand ceremony is from 2 different beaches here in New England, and it was definitely a unique keepsake. Her husband also helped with some of the photography from the ceremony, and by the end they almost felt more like family, than like a Officiant for hire. From the get-go, she was very warm, personable, and not to mention AFFORDABLE.. She really did help us have the perfect wedding. I would highly recommend Betty for your wedding day!
Betty provided a perfect ceremony for my recent wedding! From the moment my now husband spoke with Betty the first time, we knew she had to be our JOP. When we inquired with other ...
JOPs, they essentially told us to get back to them if we decided we'd like to hire them. Betty, on the other hand, took an immediate interest in us as a couple. She was more than willing to work with my husband and I on a very short timeline - we reached out to her only about a month before our wedding date, not knowing the exact day, time, or location of the ceremony, and she was so flexible and helpful throughout the process. We loved meeting with Betty beforehand to discuss our ceremony. It was very clear that she truly cares about knowing the couples she marries and providing them with a perfectly tailored ceremony. Our guests loved her ceremony, and even our photographer stated that it was the best ceremony she has seen! My husband and I highly recommend working with Betty - you will not only get a professional JOP who will provide an excellent ceremony, but a person who truly cares about your happiness on your wedding day!
When we started our planning my fiancee and I of course turned to the internet. The justice of the peace was the first thing we looked for and Betty was the first person we reache...
d out to and once we met with her we knew we had the right person for us. Betty loves her job and is great at it. Her sand ceremony was beautiful and special. Betty kept in touch in the months leading up to the wedding and was always willing to answer any questions we had and it was always in a very timely manner, I never felt like I was bothering her. On the day of the wedding Betty and her husband Paul, who acts as her helper, arrived in plenty of time and brought everything they needed for the ceremony, neither I nor the venue had to provide anything. I would highly recommend Betty not only for her professionalism, but also for her very warm and caring personality.
Don't take it personally if Betty doesn't get back to you if you contacted her through this site. She gets some sort of error message and cannot see her messages when brides reach ...
out to her. Email or call her and she will get back to you! She told us this and was upset that she was leaving people unanswered. We just met with Betty to go over the ceremony and she is wonderful!! She was truly interested in learning about us as a couple and having a connection with us. She was also able to provide recommendations on other local vendors since she's been doing this for so long! We couldn't be more excited to have her as our JP for our big day!!!
Betty isn't just a fabulous JOP, she is also just a wonderful human being. My husband and I had the best time working with her and could not recommend her highly enough. She is so ...
professional, caring and poised. We didn't have to worry about anything knowing that Betty was there and we are so grateful for her and her husband. We had several people tell us what a wonderful ceremony she gave and she put us at ease allowing us to be in the moment and enjoy our special day even more. Would give her a million stars if I could!
Betty was very professional. She is organized, response is timely, and very nice. She fed off of our personality and all guests thought she was a personal friend! She was on ti...
me, organized, and very helpful. We are so glad she did our wedding! She even provided Sand for a beautiful sand ceremony we had added into the ceremony!
If I could give 10 stars to Betty, I would. We had an interfaith wedding and Betty worked with us to tailor the perfect ceremony for our two families. She gave us helpful suggest...
ions (all of which we used) and was clear, concise and professional, not to mention super sweet! Her husband also took photos for us during the ceremony and we kept in touch in the months leading up to our wedding, which made us feel very comfortable. She went above and beyond the call of duty and was just the BEST.
My husband and I could not be happier that Betty was able to officiate our wedding ceremony this past month! Betty was absolutely wonderful to work with from the first time that we...
met with her to the night of our wedding! She was always there to answer any questions that we had, and so many of our wedding guests commented on the beautiful job that she did during our ceremony. I'm so happy that our wedding coordinator referred us to Betty, I can't imagine our special day without her!
Betty made my wedding so special. She know what she is doing and her ceremony is beautiful. The vows made me tear up, her delivery is kind and warm, and she made everyone feel welc...
ome. Her husband is so nice and right by her side. Betty LOVES what she is doing and that makes is so much better. If you need a JP...Betty IS THE PERSON. No question about it.
Betty was great to deal with. She officiates many weddings so she is very knowledgeable. Her husband comes along and helps with the line up and organizing so things go smoothly.
Betty is extremely outgoing and just a fun person to be around and talk to. She was the officiant for our outdoor garden wedding and her ceremony is beautiful. We asked her if we c...
ould customize with a few jokes and things to each other that would show up on our wedding day. Betty being the fun-loving person that she is happily obliged. (She may have had more fun with it than we did!) She pulled the surprises off perfectly on the day of the wedding and we absolutely loved the ceremony. We had a few religious guests who were skeptical at the JP ceremony until they witnessed Betty's ceremony and later told us how great it was and how much they enjoyed it. She really takes the time to get to know her wedding couples and we never had a problem getting in touch with her or felt like we didn't know what we needed to do or what her plan was. Very reassuring when you have so many other things to worry about. I highly, highly recommend Betty if you're looking for a JP.
Betty put on such an amazing ceremony for my husband and I. She was there for my husband and I from the time of the rehearsal (actually a long time before that as well), she helpe...
d us with some problems during our cocktail hour and stayed with us throughout our reception. She and her husband were like part of the family! Her husband is also very helpful as well, he helped video the ceremony as well as parts of the reception since we did not have a videographer! Betty was great to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in this area!
Betty Is Just Wonderful To Work With...Made Our Wedding Day So Special!!!
Thank You So Much Betty!
Betty was the officiant at our wedding last month. She was really helpful through the entire process, a very caring person. The ceremony was wonderful and we were really lucky to...
have her be part of our big day!
I loved Betty right when I met her and knew she was perfect for our vineyard ceremony. We met with Betty in her home about 10 months before our wedding. She is so warm and inviti...
ng, you feel like you're visiting with family. I loved that she had a beautiful ceremony already designed that we could personalize. I found it overwhelming to design the entire ceremony from scratch, so it was a huge relieve to have a starting point that we could add to with our own readings and ideas. Betty is also a true professional. She officiates numerous weddings, but she makes you feel like you're her only one. She helped me design my ceremony program and got back to me quickly via phone and email. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in New England!
After searching online and speaking with a handful of officiants, I came across Betty's website. Given her experience and a huge number of excellent ratings, I called to get some a...
dditional information. She was very personable and easy going. My husband and I scheduled a meeting with her and within the first few minutes, I knew she would be the perfect fit.
We read through her ceremony and she offered a few additional ways to personalize our ceremony. She checked in with us a few weeks before the wedding to confirm everything is lined up the way we would like and she was happy to answer any and all questions we had.
She did an amazing job! She spoke clear and to the point. I had many complements after the wedding about our officiant. I am thrilled that i selected Betty to marry us.
