    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!

    Working with Rev. Benae was a pleasure! All our questions were answered, everything was rehearsed, and we got compliments on our ceremony from multiple guests. Truly a relaxing and knowledgeable presence even when we were anxious about what to expect. Highly reccommend hiring Rev. Benae, you won't regret it!

    Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words! It was such a pleasure to be part of your wedding day. I know there can be a fair amount of “What are we supposed to be doing now?” that comes with getting married, so I’m especially happy I could help keep things relaxed and make the whole process feel a little easier. And hearing that your guests loved the ceremony makes my heart happy. 💜 It was a joy to marry you both!

    Rev. Benae Colbert was wonderful! We booked her without meeting her beforehand since we live in a different city. After reading through her website, I just had a really good feeling about her, and I’m so glad we chose her. She was always prompt with email communication and was very helpful with coordinating details with the chapel. She was actually already sitting at the chapel waiting when we arrived, which immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly kind and personable, answered any questions we had, and quickly walked us through everything before the ceremony. The ceremony was prepared ahead of time, with a few different quotes and verses for us to choose from and personalize. Even with the prepared format, it still felt authentic, personal, and special to us. We had a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend Rev. Benae!

    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!

    Thank you, Stefanie! It's always a pleasure to work with other pros who love what they do and do it so well. What a calming presence you were. And I've seen the photos -- chef's kiss. Such art!
