About

On WeddingWire since 2022

I don't try to dictate what your ceremony should be, but rather work in partnership with you to create the ceremony of your dreams - and if you're not clear yet on that dream, I will help you find it! I became an officiant after people kept asking me to perform their wedding ceremonies, and ended up apprenticing with Rev. John Graf. Now after many years, I really enjoy the personal and creative connection that assures no two ceremonies are ever alike. I have performed all kinds of ceremonies in all kinds of venues: chapels, banquet halls, homes, on the beach, in parks, even a movie theater!

I have presided over hundreds of ceremonies, services and events in the central and north regions of New Jersey. I am a Non-Denominational Minister and Celebrant who works hard to create a unique religious, civil, or spiritual ceremony customized to make special occasions even more beautiful and memorable. From simple or extravagant wedding ceremonies or renewals, to commitment ceremonies; I prepare and tailor traditional or contemporary ceremonies to a couple's satisfaction in a comfortable and relaxed collaboration. Please let me know if you require any further information.

- Rev. Kenneth R. Schwarz

Absolutely beautiful ceremony

Rev. Kenneth was so amazing he made our ceremony so beautiful and personal. He had everyone engaged to what he was saying. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with how it went, I highly recommend him. He’s very pleasant, helpful, respectful and professional with everything. If I could give him for than 5 stars I would.

Outstanding experience!!

My boyfriend and I were looking for an officiant for a very simple elopement, no elaborate ceremony or reception or anything of that sort. Ken was super responsive and kind from the start, working with us and meeting with us over video call in order to work out exactly what we were looking for to a T. He wrote our ceremony beautifully and made our day so special. Thank you so much Ken for your professionalism, grace, and talent!!

Wonderful!

Our experience with Ken was great. He met with us multiple times before our ceremony to customize the content. He sent us a script of what would be said in advance. He was on-time, professional and personable. I couldn't have asked for more.
