ABOUT
Reverend A. Benae Colbért isn’t your average wedding officiant—she’s a storyteller, a spiritual guide, and a true Texas original. With over 21 years of experience uniting couples, she brings heart, humor, and a deep understanding of love’s complexity to every ceremony.
Born in Houston and raised in a progressive Southern Baptist home, Reverend Benae seamlessly blends Southern charm, spiritual openness, inclusivity, and a dash of sass (complete with black cowgirl boots) into every celebration.
Her unique background, spanning a lineage of Native American shamans and French and Portuguese royalty, shapes her inclusive and soulful approach. She holds degrees in Communications and Psychology, which help her craft ceremonies that are not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful and personalized.
Reverend Benae’s journey began in 1994 at a backyard commitment ceremony that moved her to tears. That moment sparked a calling she’s been following ever since. Whether you're spiritual, nonreligious, traditional, or offbeat, she meets you where you are, creating ceremonies that reflect who you truly are as a couple.
Known lovingly as a “hippie cowgirl,” Reverend Benae offers more than a service—she offers an experience. If you want a ceremony full of authenticity, warmth, and soul, Reverend Benae is the one to call.
I consider myself an old hippie, even though hippies are a thing of the past.

With everything I've accomplished in my life, nothing has brought me more joy than marrying people. I guess that makes me a little selfish, but that's okay.
