“There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Ken. He was such amazing person to work with. My fiancé and I planned our wedding in just 3 months and since it was so last minute we were unable to do it in the church, but Ken gave us everything we wanted and even more. He was there to answer any question I had he answered my email quickly and made us feel so relaxed on our zoom calls. The day of our wedding our venue was not so organized but Ken stepped right in and took control of the situation and made me feel relaxed, so I did not have to stress. Our family and friends keep saying how amazing Ken was and how they loved the ceremony he put together for us. If you are looking for someone who is going to make your wedding their priority, then Ken is your guy.”

"Reverend Ken Schwarz was amazing! He kindly accommodated our last minute request for our wedding. We couldn't have found a better officiant. He was very attentive and made sure his entire script/presentation for the ceremony was custom tailored to our needs and preference. His communication was excellent. He was available and responsive throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, he was prompt in his arrival. The delivery of his ceremony speech clear and eloquent, flavored with seasoned and professional flair. He was kind and respectful. I highly recommend Rev Ken Schwarz!"

“Choosing Ken will be one of the most important and impactful choices that you will make while planning your wedding. My wife and I were looking for someone to officiate our wedding and Ken came highly recommended. Ken was highly organized, and both listened to our wants and needs for the ceremony as well as offered ideas to us of which we used many. Ken also found ways to include my stepdaughter in the ceremony which was very important to us. When it came time for the ceremony, Ken showed that he is a natural orator. He is well spoken and sincere. You could tell that he did his homework when we met him, as well as on our follow up calls. It felt like we had known him for years during the ceremony. I’m so thankful that Ken was recommended to us, and that the Knot was able to provide us with reviews that confirmed what our friend had advised us about him. He made a huge difference in our ceremony and I’m forever grateful for the effort that he put in to make our wedding a truly unforgettable day. You should hire Ken. You will be happy that you did.”

People laughed, cried, and were just in awe with the ceremony. Even my grandmother, stone-cold serious, was in tears during the ceremony. It was absolutely the most memorable part of the day. I have been recommending him to all of my engaged friends. People are still talking about it and how amazing Kenneth was! I would get married again just to rehire him!

"My now husband and I were looking for someone to officiate our wedding. We had met with other officiants during this time and they just didn't seem to fit. If you need someone to officiate your wedding, Kenneth is the perfect choice. He is extremely friendly and understanding, especially if you're a couple like us that had no clue what a wedding ceremony could entail. Not just religious beliefs, but cultural and spiritual ones as well. He went out of his way to really listen and personalize our ceremony by inquiring about our relationship and how we got to where we are today. We felt that adding personal stories into the ceremony just made our day that more special. Not that other officiants didn't seem to care, but Kenneth made us feel that he really took an interest in making our ceremony as heart-warming (with some laughs) as we were looking for. I just can't express the gratitude I feel for Kenneth for how fantastic of a job he did on our special day. I'm not too great with my words, but I couldn't imagine anyone else officiating our ceremony and would highly recommend him for anyone else's wedding as well. :)"

"Ken was absolutely fantastic as our wedding officiant. He took the time to meet with us at the beginning of our wedding process, and to gain a thorough understanding of our needs and wants for our wedding ceremony. After our initial meeting we met again to discuss the details of our ceremony and Ken did a wonderful job of incorporating our stories into the ceremony. At all times he was professional, courteous, and on wedding day he delivered a moving ceremony that garnered praise from multiple people among our guests. I would highly recommend Ken as an officiant to anyone looking for a thoughtful, thorough, and well-prepared officiant who will take time to meet your specific needs. Thanks again Ken!!

"Kenneth at NJ Wedding Ceremonies was amazing. He was punctual, professional and made sure our special day was amazing. He has so many beautiful ideas on ways to customize your ceremony and make it special for you. He answered all of our questions and his response time was quick. Anyone who has planned a wedding knows it can be stressful, so when you have someone like Kenneth who helps make things easier it really helps.
Kenneth helped answer any questions we had about the marriage license and the process and filed our papers with the clerks office right away. He even sent a reminder email explaining how and when are certified documents will be available.
Thanks Kenneth!! You were amazing!!"

“Reverend Schwarz is a wonderful person and is deeply committed to his work. We emailed and spoke to one another prior to meeting him. My fiancé and I met him and he provided a checklist of things to do prior to our wedding day. He is absolutely prepared. He asked us questions and provided another checklist of different types of weddings and what we wanted during the ceremony. He is very personable and listened well to our requests. After a few weeks he prepared his ceremony for us and we finalized it. The ceremony was very moving, and he performed it so eloquently. Within one meeting and several correspondences via email he executed a wonderful and memorable ceremony.”
