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

Awesome Officiant!

We were a little lost on how to hire an officiant in Michigan, as we love in Indiana. I actually found Betsy just by surfing the web, and boy am I glad I found her! Betsey was a pleasure to work with. She gave us great options for our ceremony, was very responsive and professional. We actually did not meet in person until our ceremony but felt as if we knew her for some time right away. She's very down to earth and truly loves what she does, and it shows. She was very affordable too! I highly recommend her.
