    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.

    Lovely, Happy,

    Betty and her husband are amazing, kind, patient, and understanding, We had a very very small ceremony but I was very nervous to be center of attention. Betty made my husband and I feel comfortable she walked us through the entire process with a smile on her face the whole time . I would definitely recommend her ! We appreciate your time ! 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!

    Thank You, Betty!

    Betty graciously officiated our wedding ceremony at our local town hall on Valentine’s Day without asking anything of us, such a kind gesture! The ceremony was beautiful and I couldn’t have been happier with her service. Thank you, again! 10/10

    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! ❤️

    Look no further! Betty is perfection!

    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!!!

    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!

    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!

    I cannot even express how wonderful Betty Allard was to work with. She made my husband and I both very comfortable by taking the time to get to know us and get personal before our ceremony. Betty was also very accommodating to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us! 10/10 recommend Betty Allard if you’re looking for someone to marry you.

    Intimate and Personable

    Betty is an absolute treasure! She is so sweet and charming. She responded quickly and answered all my questions that I had with professionalism and she was very easy to talk to. She made my small, intimate ceremony so special by opening up her beautiful home and had our ceremony in front of a grand fireplace. The sand ceremony was also so special which I will forever cherish. I would highly, highly recommend Betty. I am forever grateful for making this an incredibly memorable day for me.

    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.
