About
Hello! My name is Beth, I am an ordained minister located in Central Connecticut. I would love to have the honor of joining you and your significant other together in marriage. I will personalize the ceremony to reflect the love the two of you have for each other. I can make the ceremony very short and simple or as long and elaborate as you would like. I love what I do and would love to be the one to marry you.
My fee consists of a customized ceremony along with up to 1 hour of time the day of the ceremony. If the ceremony runs over 1 hour there will be an additional charge. If you would like me to be present for rehearsal an additional charge would also apply.
Thank you for inquiry I would be delighted to be chosen to make your dreams and vision come true.

I was so happy to have Beth be the person who married us, not only did she make sure everyone was present and in the moment but she made our day special by helping us write our vows and reading the poems we choose.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an officiant who also feels like a friend and I wish her all the good luck on her future endeavors

We were so happy to have Beth officiate our wedding! Not only is she great at communicating, she is very organized and got to know us prior to our big day, which was much appreciated. In addition, she also provided us with some mentoring and tips for our day, as we did not have a wedding planner. She also worked well with our dj and photographer to make our ceremony run super smooth. We felt very comfortable with her and we highly recommend working with this fantastic woman! Thank you so very much for helping to make it memorable!

Beth was absolutely fabulous to work with, and she executed our wedding ceremony beautifully! From my first conversation with her, I knew she was the right choice for our wedding. Beth has such a calming presence and kind soul. It was important to us that our officiant was able to accommodate our request for a handfasting and incorporate some Celtic traditions. She did this flawlessly. I can not recommend her enough!

If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding, look no further! Beth Retzlaff is professional, kind, patient and friendly. She communicated with me before and after our ceremony to make sure I was happy with everything. Since we had our ceremony at our house with our immediate families, she also spent time talking with our families before and after the ceremony. She added personal touches to what she included in the ceremony, which made the ceremony extra special for us. I am so glad Beth officiated our wedding at our home. A beautiful day in our lives that we will cherish forever. Beth, we can't thank you enough for making our ceremony so special!
