    Beautiful and Emotional Ceremony

    Betty gave a truly beautiful ceremony. She was confident and knew her speech by heart, and delivered it with such emotion. It really made our ceremony special. We had a crazy schedule leading up to the day, so weren’t able to meet her until the day of! I’m so glad we put our faith in Betty. She made our wedding ceremony so special. Everyone at our event loved her as well!

    Simply Amazing

    Thank you, Betty and Paul!
    You both were absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, you made my wife and me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Betty, you made sure to speak with us before doing anything, which meant so much—it truly felt like talking to family.

    Our ceremony was beautiful, and after, we were able to take plenty of memorable pictures. The special gift you gave us touched our hearts deeply.

    Thank you again for being such a meaningful part of our day.
    With love,
    The Valentines

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Truly one of a kind!

    Betty is truly someone special! She really takes the time to get to know you and your S/O very well. She makes sure to go through all the details of your vows. She recommended doing a sand Ceremony with us and the children. It was like she knew all four of our kids before she actually met them. She picked out their sand colors and it was all their favorite colors. It blended so well with ours and comes in a pretty bottle. I'm so glad we ended up doing that because now we have that as a memory for all of us to share. One special moment i will never forget was during the middle of the ceremony when i was all nervous, the sun made an appearance on our cloudy day and she told me to take a look. It was so beautiful!
    Betty is very efficient in what she does and is straight forward with you. She will respond very quick. She has been doing this a long time. After getting to know her we found out she also married friends of ours. She is excellent at what she does! Highly recommend!

    Absolutely Perfect

    Betty was amazing from the start. Totally understood and didn't make us feel judged for wanting a small wedding. The day of the wedding she was so patient and kind. We LOVED the sand ceremony. Thank you Betty for loving what you do. It really shows.

    The Smooth Operator

    Bettie is amazing. She has the vision to help you with your journey but seamlessly integrates your special day's dreams with what she knows will work. Bettie did not skimp with her time and worked tirelessly to make sure the moment you committed to your partner would be perfect. Being your Justice of the Peace is not a job for her, even though this is what she does full time. Being your Justice is her life's calling and your happenest on your wedding day is the most important event to her. Making your day perfect gives her life! Thank you, Bettie, for being amazing to this Groom and Bride.

    JP for our wedding on Sept. 24, 2021

    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 professional 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!

She is incredibly organized and there for you no matter how many questions you have! Thank you Betty for helping make our wedding the most magical day of our life’s!

    My dream day!

    My husband and I decided to get married on a whim..Betty was the first justice of the peace I called and it was meant to be! From the moment I got on the phone with her we knew she was the one, she was so kind thoughtful and so excited that I knew I had to be her! Betty gave my husband and I a beautiful personal and memorable ceremony that came from her heart. We loved every second of it. You can really tell how much Betty loves her job, she wrote the beautiful vows we exchanged and she even has a wonderful sand pouring ceremony to represent you & your SO becoming one. I've heard how fast weddings can be from Justices of the Peace but not with Betty; she took the time to get to know me and my husband and really made us feel special. My husband and I would recommend her a thousand times over if you want to have a special personalized and beautiful ceremony she's the one!! Betty was one of a kind and we are so happy we got to share our special day with her. Thankyou so much Betty!!!!
    -Jessi & Gaby 💕

    Perfect Wedding Ceremony

    We chose Betty Allard as our officient for our wedding after asking our wedding venue their preference for vendors. She was number one on their list. Right away, Betty was so friendly and kind. We met with Betty to go over everything and she made sure our ceremony was personalized just for us. We really loved the sand ceremony and she provided all the supplies for it. Betty was professional and so sweet. She really made our ceremony special and spoke well. I had asked her to give our marriage certificate to the town hall right after the ceremony and she happily did. I highly recommend Betty as your officient for your wedding ceremony!

    Words can’t describe how special you made us feel!!

    Betty performed our ceremony over twelve years ago and we recently went back to her to renew our vows on our ten year anniversary. Pictures are from our vow renewed with our three kids joining us, it was so personal!!! A++++ Highly Recommend (I’ve actually sent a few people her way and everyone’s been so happy)

    Sacred and wonderful

    What I loved about Betty was her energy. She was kind, informative and very helpful. Since this was my 2nd marriage and money was tight, she and her husband made it very special for us. I especially loved the sand ceremony part..that alone put an extra touch to it. Even under these Covid times & having to wear masks and abide by the rules of Foxwoods, it all went well. I’m so happy that I chose her or else I feel it wouldn’t have been as Special.

    Attention brides: absolutely incredible justice of the peace

    I was referred Betty Allard by my original venue, when the pandemic hit I had to call Betty multiple times changing times and figuring out a new location. Betty stuck by our side, my wedding was canceled and changed three times and Betty made it work, she said we we’ll figure this out I will work with you and help you pick another and location, she helped me brain storm on alternative locations and what would work best for me and my husband. The ceremony was so personal and she included an Irish blessing and whatever we wanted to include without even questioning our style. My wedding day was in the pouring rain and Betty made the day more beautiful with the kind words and just personal detail for our ceremony on our special day.

    Betty did an amazing job making this day truly special. We loved the vows and the sand ceremony. She was extremely flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic and we are truly grateful she was there! Would definitely recommend her to everyone.

    The absolute best!

    Betty is the by far the best. The ceremony she performs is both personal and professional. It’s clear she loves what she does and it shines through. Her husband helps her and is just as great; he even took pictures for us! No need to look anywhere else because Betty Allard is the JOP for you.

    Sincere and from the heart

    Working with Betty as the officiant first our wedding was an absolute pleasure It felt like one of our dearest family friends was marrying us. Betty used her own ceremony which is sincere and from the heart It spoke to us both in ways we never imagined Betty included our children in the ceremony in a beautiful way We enjoyed working with Betty she was so warm and sincere. I would recommend reaching out to Betty if you are looking for a warm and sincere ceremony and an officiant who loves what she does and puts a lot of heart into her couples!

    Professional, Fun, Joyous

    Betty is a true professional! Starting with her standards of meeting every couple in person before the ceremony to being prepared and early. She was a highlight of our ceremony. She has many different options to make sure your ceremony can be beyond the normal experience. Paul her husband is amazing as well. Betty married us in September 2019. The sand ceremony was beautiful and a great keepsake for us. ,
