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

    Ken was a wonderful officiant who has such professionalism and experience with his craft. We had a challenging weather day and he was able to deliver such a memorable ceremony. He is fun to work with and speaks with incredible captivating delivery. Highly recommend!

    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)!

    Can’t begin to say how greatly appreciative we are to Ken for his amazing handling of our special day. His immediate interaction upon first contact made everything seamless and without stress. Getting to know us so he can cater his ceremony was an immediate indicator for us that we were in excellent hands. Executing a flawless and heartwarming ceremony was all we hoped for and he exceeded that expectation. Taking the time to engage with our family afterwards , was just the cherry on top. We are forever grateful for the experience and will never stop recommending Ken to anyone we know who plans to take the same road.
