Personalized Perfection: Rev. Benita is a 10/10!!

Rev. Benita was amazing as our officiant at our wedding! She is amazingly personable, caring, compassionate, and made us feel so comfortable. More than anything it was apparent that Benita wanted to help us create our dream ceremony, and asked all the questions to make sure that she knew what we had in mind. We also did premarital counseling with Rev. Benita and each session opened our minds to exploring and revisiting important conversations about our relationship. During the ceremony, she spoke beautifully to our love story which evoked tears and laughs from all in attendance. Even after the wedding she made it clear that she is available in the future to continue to have conversations about navigating marriage. Overall, Benita made us feel so comfortable and seen and we are so thankful and fortunate to have had her as our officiant. Everything was 10/10 - if we could give her more stars we would! Thank you, Rev. Benita!

The most personal wedding ceremony!

We connected with Rev. Benita fairly late based on a traditional wedding timeline. She immediately got to work, collecting information from us and our closest people- began building our personalized ceremony. When I say she truly exceeded our expectations, we are STILL talking about the ceremony. It was so unique, personal, uplifting and touching-we could not have ended up in better hands. It was such a beautiful day & Rev. Benita was to thank. She included our best memories, our small group of guests & did it with the biggest smile! We are so grateful Rev. Benita was able to share her gift with us that day-the memories will last a lifetime!

True Gem! Don't miss out!

I reached out to Ms. Benita a week or two before my wedding. I was in full panic mode, due to hired officiant was going to be a no-show. I truly believe everything happens for a reason!

She took my call and jumped right in, though she had prior engagements with her family that weekend. She drafted the contract and scheduled a zoom call the following day. I knew the moment I spoke with her, she was the ONE. We spoke daily up to the wedding and the ceremony was amazing!! It was fully customized, matched our personality and energy like no other. You would have thought she had known us for years! She was everything we could’ve dreamed of for an officiant. I will always remember 9-23-23 for two reasons; 1) the obvious, married my best friend and 2)my officiant. Ms. Benita is a true gem!!

If you want a true personal, lifetime experience, Ms. Benita is a MUST.... she pours her heart and beautiful soul into the entire process. Don't miss out!!

An Honor and Blessing

Ms. Benita was awesome! From beginning to end, she was caring, considerate, and thoughtful. Being from out of state, she made every effort to create a sincere relationship with both of us. She fulfilled every request and became a pivotal person within our journey to marriage. Her details in learning about us and creating our storyline brought us even more closer to becoming one with God. We would recommend Ms. Benita a thousand and one times to anyone who wants an officiant who takes personal pride and ownership of making your day about you and your journey to forever.

Phenomenal Reverend!

My fiancé and I needed to perform our vows before our destination wedding, and Reverend Benita came to our home and performed our vows on our front porch with only a days notice. She was absolutely phenomenal, and I wish I could teleport her to Belize to do our ceremony down there! Reverend Benita is so kind, shared the most touching words, prayed for us, was so professional, responsible and reliable - what more could you ask! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone getting married! Thank you Reverend for making yesterday so special!
