Finding the right person to officiate our wedding was a challenge until we found Rev Benae. My now husband is Jewish and I am Spanish which left us looking for something that would be meaningful for both of us, Rev Benae not only has plenty of ceremonies to choose from, she also takes time to personalize them. My favorite part of working with her is that you can tell that she is passionate about what she does, she takes the time to learn your story, and gives wonderful advice in other aspects of the wedding. She clearly knows what she is doing and we are very grateful to her and all her help.

Rev. Benae was one of the best decisions we made! She was so creative, funny, and easy to work with. The planning process was very personalized. At the wedding there was not a dry eye in the house, and many of our guests told us it was the best ceremony they'd ever attended.

When my now-husband and I first met Rev. Benae, we knew she was "the one". We had hunted around for wedding officiants for a little while and couldn't find anyone that clicked. Rev. Benae was incredibly warm and inviting. She really took the time to get to know us and asked us questions about our love story and our vision for the ceremony. We loved that we got to craft the ceremony the way we wanted it, while also relying on her experience and recommendations whenever we had questions. She already came prepared with ceremony templates, readings and unity ceremonies that we could choose from. She even accommodated us when we wanted to do a special "unity ceremony" with paints and a canvas. We were so impressed by her impeccable communication and professionalism. On the day of the wedding, Rev Benae delivered exceptional service. I really felt like we were in good hands with her. A couple of our guests asked if she was a friend of ours or if we already had a prior relationship with her - nope! That's just a testament to how passionate and committed she is to her role and her couples. Thank you Rev. Benae! We wouldn't be married without you ;)

Cannot say enough good things about Rev. Benae! At our first meeting we knew she was the one to perform our handfasting ceremony. Benae is warm, engaging, and very fun to be around. She took the time to get to know us in detail and you can tell that she loves what she does! We were in good hands. Thank you Benae for everything!!!

Rev Benae was awesome! She worked with us on every stage to make sure the day was perfect. I especially appreciate her thoughtful manner on the day to help maintain the calm!

My now husband and I knew Reverend Benae was the one for us the minute we read her website. And a quick phone call confirmed that. She walked us through everything we needed to know and allowed us to express our love and relationship in our ceremony in a way that we never could've imagined. Our guests still rave about the ceremony even a year later. It was so memorable and there were plenty of tears. If you want a kind, fun, smart, professional officiant to guide you through the process of your wedding ceremony, Rev Benae is the person for you!

Our wedding day was perfect and Rev. Benae was a huge part of that. When I tell this woman went above and beyond on our day, that is no exaggeration. Our wedding went so smoothly and everyone expressed how perfect the ceremony was and how wonderful Rev. Benae was as well. Days later I found out that Rev. Benae had a terribly painful kidney stone the day of our wedding and she never hinted at it at all. She was incredible! If that’s not dependability, integrity, and absolute dedication, I don’t know what is. She is incredibly kind , Patient, and loving. She will take great care of you.

Rev Benae is the best out there! She went above and beyond what we could have every hoped (and asked) for! From the start she was very enthusiastic and so informative which really shined a light on not only her professionalism, but her general knowledge of all ceremony types. She was also very open and accommodating to our needs and did not shy away from blending (2) different ceremony styles. Not to mention her willingness to bust out her Spanish for our out of town guests!! She has many ceremony options to choose from, and is willing to take the time to understand special practices. She is thorough and very accommodating when it comes to meeting or asking questions. Where else are you going to find an officiant who checks in on you week of to make sure your head is on tight for the last minute crazies?! She is a true blessing and we couldn't imagine our special day being officiated by anyone else! Thank you Rev. Benae!!

Rev Benae went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony came out exactly as we envisioned it. She really connected with us as a couple and eased our concerns as we approached the big day. Thank you again for everything!

Rev Benae Colbert was awesome. She came 30 minutes early to go over the ceremony & the ceremony she did was perfect. We were able to give our input and pick our scripture & everything was wonderful. I highly recommend her.

The first time we met Rev. Benae it was like we had known each other forever. She treated us as though we were old friends. She recently renewed our vows and it couldn't have gone any better. She's very compassionate and easy to get along with. We would recommend her to everyone.
