About NJ Wedding Ceremonies

Rev Kenneth R. Schwarz

Officiant

If you’re here, it’s probably because you are looking for the right person to give you a special, personalized ceremony. I've presided over hundreds of ceremonies like that for couples just like you. “Choosing Ken will be the most important choice that you will make planning your wedding.” - Christian H., High Lawn Pavilion “Ken created an absolutely unique ceremony for us. People laughed, cried, and were just in awe with the ceremony. It was absolutely the most memorable part of the day.” – Megan P., Ground for Sculpture “Not only did we love him, but our guests couldn’t stop raving about him.” – Christina J., Bonnet Island Estate

"WOW.. is all I can say after working with Ken for our wedding ceremony! From our very first meeting up until the actual ceremony I was blown away by how professional, personal and easy to communicate with Ken was. We were a little bit all over the place as to what we wanted to include in our ceremony and Ken did an amazing job help guide us to what felt right and worked for us. Our ceremony touched on everything we wanted and more! Our guests laughed, cried and gave us so many compliments on how the ceremony and Ken truly moved them! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ken and we could not recommend him enough!" -Carissa G, Shadowbrook

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Supportive

    Great Officiant!

    Ken was great! I had no idea what I wanted for my ceremony. Ken went through a ton of possibilities created a form to guide me and my now husband through the process. We missed our opportunity to connect due to my wedding party being late and we missed our opportunity to connect the day of the wedding, but he was waiting for us at the altar prepared to deliver his speech. After the ceremony he got our witnesses to sign marriage certificate and later filed it with the town

    Thank you, Katharine! I hope that you and Stefano enjoyed your time in Maine -- and that the sand wasn't as damp there as it was for our sand ceremony (lol)!

    My bride and I feel incredibly grateful and blessed that we chose Ken to be our officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Ken was exceptional every step of the way. Ken took the time to learn what we wanted our ceremony to be. He then transformed that understanding into a ceremony that was deeply personal, heartfelt, meaningful, and beyond anything we could have imagined. Even weeks after the wedding, our family and friends continued to tell us how beautiful, touching, and meaningful the ceremony was. That speaks volumes about the care and passion Ken brings to what he does. We were so moved by the ceremony Ken created for us that we have already watched the recording several times; and we know we will continue to watch it again and again throughout our lives. It is something we will always treasure and a beautiful reminder of the beginning of this next chapter together. If you are looking for an officiant who is truly exceptional at what he does, genuinely cares about the couples he works with, and has a passion for creating a ceremony that is uniquely yours, look no further than Ken. We cannot recommend Ken highly enough. He played such a special role in our wedding day, and we will always be grateful to him for making our ceremony so incredibly memorable.

    Ken was the absolute best officiant my husband and I could’ve ever asked for. He exceeded all expectations we had. He was with us throughout the entire process. What seemed daunting and challenging, Ken made simple and understandable. Ken captured everything we wanted in our ceremony. His kindness is infectious and he has the most warm energy. There was not a single dry eye during our ceremony and our guests are still raving about him even 2 weeks later. He found a way to make our guests feel included while keeping the focus on us and allowing my husband and I to really express our love for one another in the most natural way. Nothing felt forced or scripted, just genuine. We couldn’t recommend Ken enough!! Thank you for everything Ken! We will always have a special place in our hearts for you!
