Betsy is the best!

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 made our wedding ceremony amazing!

We are so glad we had Betsy as our officiant! She helped us to 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!
