    Betty is amazing!

    Betty did an AMAZING job for our ceremony. Our experience with Betty couldn’t have been any better. She is passionate and loves what she does. She took the time to meet and get to know me and my husband. She made sure she was always available with any questions or concerns up to our wedding day. She was there early to set up and did an amazing job. She was loud, clear, and professional. The sand ceremony was such a great idea, and we cherish this bottle and memory from our ceremony. I would highly recommend Betty!

    Our wedding

    Betty did an amazing job personalizing our wedding for us. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for any type of ceremony. She has her ways of still making the day special. Her husband Paul took beautiful pics of me and my husband. We will cherish this moment for the rest of our lives. Thanks Betty!

    Mrs. Betty Allard

    My wife and I just got married on may 21st. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful because the amazing job Betty did. Her words, her sincerity, the sand in the bottle. Everything was perfect and unique. We couldn’t be happier. My family and I are so happy that we picked Betty. So much that my brother is going to have her officiate his wedding! She feels like family from the first second I talked to her on the phone. Thank you Betty. From the bottom of our hearts.

    Simply Magical

    Wow!! What can I say!?! Stop right here, don't go any further. Betty is the Justice of the Peace that you need to perform your soul union. Betty is just simply an amazing person. I feel as if we've been long time friends even though we just met. I have seen so many recommendations for her and I can see why. From the very first contact she was very accommodating and welcoming. Everything was upfront and no stone was left unturned. The price we paid for what Betty brings to the table is a steal, seriously not kidding.
    The ceremony itself was magical ✨️ The day was perfection we laughed, we cried happy tears and laughed even more and have a beautiful vessel of love sand to cherish forever.
    Thank you for officiating for us Betty, you and your husband made entering our new chapter as Mr & Mrs so joyous and unique that it will forever be with us. So looking forward to our vow renewal with you.

    The right person for us

    We knew we were in the right hands as soon as we met Betty. I found her online with great reviews. She is warm and engaging. The ceremony was beautiful. She was so well prepared. The sand ceremony was spiritual. Thank you Paul. The photographs are amazing.

    Betty is amazing!

    Betty officiated my husband and I's elopement ceremony in October 2023. From my first conversation with Betty, I knew she was who I wanted to use on our special day. It was clear that Betty has put lot of time and effort into making a beautiful ceremony for couples. Betty was easy to get into contact with and answered all of my questions ahead of time. She made sure I knew that I needed to get my wedding license in the town I was getting married in, in CT, which is different then the requirement in MA. She also made sure the ceremony was personalized to my husband and I. She was very flexible, as we made a last minute change of location for our ceremony due to weather. On the day of she was punctual and had everything ready to go right on time for us. Betty's ceremony was above and beyond what I could have hoped for, not to mention her services are very fairly priced and affordable. I especially loved the sand ceremony she performed since we got married overlooking a beach. Betty, thank you so much for your time, expertise, and the beautiful ceremony, I cannot thank you enough for making our day extra special! I highly recommend Betty to any couple getting married in CT!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Betty was AMAZING!! Right from the start I knew we were in good hands! Due to some poor planning on our part, our wedding was very small as none of our friends or family could make it from out of state on short notice, but no less care was taken on Betty's part to make it feel special. She gave us an absolutely BEAUTIFUL ceremony at a local park and it is apparent how much time and care she puts into doing what she does. We especially enjoyed the unity sand ceremony which we will cherish forever as a lovely reminder of our special day. We cannot recommend a better Justice of the Peace to help officiate your wedding and I'm so grateful to have had her perform our ceremony. Thanks a ton Betty for everything!

    A truly memorable ceremony!

    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 marry 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

    Perfect Justice of Peace

    Betty was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. We decided to elope, and she didn't judge us for having the two of us there. It was extremely intimate, and exactly what we were looking for. Felt like I knew her for years. Cant say enough about the experience we had that we will remember forever.

    Betty was amazing!

    Betty Allard was the officiant for our wedding this summer at Water’s Edge and she’s simply the best. When we first met Betty, she made it very easy to understand why so many people recommended her. She was attentive, professional, and above all, well-prepared. She did an amazing job with our ceremony and I would highly recommend Betty to anyone in search of a top-notch wedding officiant!

And thank you again!

    Vow Renewal

    Betty was phenomenal. From the very first time I contacted her, she was quick to respond, friendly and so helpful. My wife and I had a vow renewal on Valentine's Day this year (2023). She had a beautiful setup, and her speech for our ceremony was so touching and meaningful. She truly cares about what she does and it shows. She is so genuine and very accommodating. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to have a JP,who is truly invested in your ceremony, not just your money.

    Lovely and Efficient, Organized, Perfectionist!

    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 meeting 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!

    Special Day Made Perfect

    On behalf of my husband Royce and I, Thank you Betty! She was absolutely AMAZING from first contact to the day of our ceremony. She was very helpful in guiding us through the process of what we needed to do before arriving in CT to apply for our marriage license as well as once we arrive. From the date we booked her she made sure to follow up with us several times just to check in with us. What we enjoyed the most was that prior to our ceremony she took the time to meet with both of us to get to know us a little better and discuss arrangements of the ceremony. During the ceremony she did nothing less than perform exceptionally and even added in her own ritual which I found very sweet. In addition to this because we were both pre occupied; her husband was nice enough to take pictures for us. We invited them to stay for the reception and it was the least we could do for them making our day so memorable. But what I will always remember most was that somewhere along the process the ritual she performs in which we both pour two different color sands into a bottle layer by layer and then seal it, to represent 2 vessels becoming 1; there was a charm around the neck of the bottle that some how fell off. She was kind enough to take the time and mail us a new charm. Considering how busy she is, it meant ALOT! I initially left a review as my husband and I were married back in November but for some reason it didn't post. Regardless if you're considering Betty, I can promise you won't regret it she is the best of the best and knows her stuff!

    Simply the best!

    Betty surpassed all of our expectations in our elopement ceremony. I felt an immediate connection with her when I first spoke with her weeks before. Her words and vows felt so personal for us. The sand ceremony is beautiful, and we loved that the sands came from the local CT beaches. Betty's husband, Paul, took numerous candid photos in the background. Many thanks to Betty for making our special day unforgettable!

    Betty was our hero!

    My fiancé and I decided six weeks before Christmas to get married on Christmas Eve because all our adult children would be home! Betty didn’t blink and eye - she made our dream happen. Betty is professional, warm and feels immediately like a member of the family! Her service was thoughtful and personal. I couldn’t imagine getting married without her officiating (although hopefully I won’t be getting married again!). Absolutely adore this woman! ❤️
