Hi, I’m Betty, the heart behind Cozier Than The Courthouse. 
I am a wedding officiant dedicated to creating ceremonies 
that feel deeply personal, warm, and full of love.  

I believe that every couple deserves more than a rushed exchange of vows under fluorescent lights. Your wedding ceremony should reflect your story, your laughter, and the promises that only you two can make.

My approach is simple: I listen, I learn about your journey together, and I craft a ceremony that feels like you, showcases your love, and creates a memory for a lifetime.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full celebration surrounded by family and friends, I bring a calm presence, thoughtful wording, and a genuine care for making your moment unforgettable. 

My goal is to help you start your marriage with joy, peace, and meaning, one heartfelt “I do” at a time.  

Because love deserves more warmth than a court room.
It deserves a ceremony that feels like home.
