    The Perfect Officiant

    Rev. Benae was exactly what we needed. Our hand fasting ceremony was small and quaint, held at a park pavilion with friends and family. Not many bells and whistles. Our ceremony still felt special and unique. She was kind, professional, and a great communicator. I’m glad we found her. I reached out, we had a meeting to discuss the specifics, and she arrived and did exactly what we needed. The process was smooth and she was one of the ones to help keep our stress down on the day. Highly recommend her for your event!

    Reverend Benae? Ummm YES PLEASE! Not only is she absolutely kind, but she also makes your ceremony yours. You don't have to worry about feeling forced to be traditional. As a wedding photographer, it not only brings me joy to work with her. But seeing her bring every ceremony to life. If you hire Reverend Benae, you've honestly scored BIG for your big day!

    Zoey, thank you so much for this beautiful review. It was truly an honor to create a ceremony that reflected you and Robert so naturally and authentically. The love between you two was unmistakable, and getting to help shape that moment for you will always stay with me. Thank you for trusting me with such an important part of your day. I’m so grateful, and I wish you both a lifetime of joy, adventure, and all the good things ahead. 💛
