    Absolutely awesome experience. He made it the best day of our lives.

    Ken was a dream to have as our officiant. My (now) husband found him online and we didn't know him personally so I was initially skeptical, but I could not have been more wrong. Ken is a class act, very respectful, witty, and added a genuine heartfelt feel to his job as officiant. I would recommend him to anyone getting married because he added to our wedding in the very best, most special of ways. I honestly only wish he lived closer so we could invite him out to dinner now and then, he was that awesome.

    Highly recommend!

    My fiancé and I hired Ken for our small northern Minnesota micro wedding. He was great with communication, easy to access and seemed so caring and excited for my wedding. He gave us plenty is options and let us have control over that was said and done on our day. The day before the wedding, we changed the whole location of the ceremony due to accessibility and Ken had no problems with the change. Day of was a mess and many things were forgotten, including our speakers. Luckily Ken came prepared and provided a speaker for music and so that our guest could hear the ceremony. He was extremely kind, helpful and kept everybody is a great mood.

    Wedding Officiant, Ken Schaefer

    We were very pleased with Ken as the officiant for our wedding. He was timely and always accessible as we worked on the ceremony. His suggestions for us were very helpful but yet let us personalize and make the ceremony unique to us.
    He worked with our readers and our musician and shared his microphones at our outdoor wedding. Everything was seamless and went as planned with his help.
    Ken was also very warm with a great sense of humor. We really appreciated that on what could have been a stressful day but was absolutely perfect.
    You will not be disappointed with Ken. He was absolutely great!

    Great mountain wedding

    Ken was great to work with and very flexible and accommodating. We had to reschedule the date and location of the wedding, and Ken took it all in stride. He handled everything with professionalism and was a great officiant.

    Excellent officiant

    Ken is great. Very nice, easy to talk to and personable. If you’re shy or unsure about anything he will put you at ease! We had a wonderful wedding. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Ken!

    Loved our ceremony

    Ken was perfect for us in every single way! He made us feel comfortable and was prompt in adjusting our ceremony plan to whatever we wanted to incorporate. Our guests commented how nice and welcoming he was. Ken has a wonderful sense of humor and personality that brings out the best in couples. We highly recommend Ken for officiating your special day.

    Amazing job!

    Ken did an amazing job. He met with us in our hometown and we talked for hours. We talked almost like we have known each other for years. Ken did a great job officiating our wedding. He helped us every step of the way. Thank you Ken!

    Amazing, professional, attentive, and funny!

    Ken was an amazing officiant! My husband and I did a non-religious ceremony and it was important that it was catered to our unique selves. Ken did just that! He kept the ceremony short and sweet and helped us use every word to elevate the love and adoration we felt toward each other. He even slipped in a fantastic joke per our request and played our favorite song so we had a chance to dance!

    Ken was also great, adding humor to the situation, when a technical problem caused the bridal march music to mis-play, and then skip. He turned it into a situation that everyone had a good chuckle about, and everything went smoothly after that.

    Ken was attentive and immediately available to answer questions, give suggestions and provide comfort to a slightly nervous bride :) He was wonderful to work with and I really enjoyed our time together.

    Thank you to your work and dedication to making our special day perfect, Ken!

    Kindest Regards,
    Carol and Sean Sullivan

    The perfect officiant

    Ken respects everyone's beliefs and what everyone wants. He really means it when he says your day, your way. Incredibly kind man, very professional, even helped us with the marriage license process. Big personality guy, so be ready to laugh and have a good time. He helped put us at ease. Obviously practiced our ceremony and it went off perfectly. He is as good as we could have wanted and more. He even said if we had a problem with his services he wouldn't charge us. He already doesn't charge much. Seems to do it because he loves it. Great, great guy!

    Very professional and prompt!

    From the beginning Ken was very informative, he kept expressing to us it's your wedding I'm here to do what you want, you tell me! But at the same time he had lots of samples of vows and such to choose from for help. It was a pleasure from the first moment he responded to my email. Very easy to work with and very professional! Would definitely hire again but hopefully I don't need him again lol

    Ken at ThymeMark Celebrations was absolutely phenomenal. We came across him on Wedding Wire as we searched for an officiant, and from our first conversation, we knew he was the perfect fit. Ken is extremely prompt in responding to messages and always very helpful and thorough in his responses. His focus was always on making our ceremony, and the preparation for that ceremony, work for us. Though he was always quick to respond, he expressed to us that we could get back to him on our own time. Weddings are already so overwhelming, so this really put us at ease.

    During the rehearsal and ceremony, Ken was professional yet easy-going. He made everyone feel relaxed. The ceremony went off without a hitch and when my husband fumbled with the “I do”s, Ken didn’t miss a beat and helped make the moment humorous rather than embarrassing.

    Can’t say enough good things about Ken! If you’re in the market for a non-religious officiant, he is your guy.

    We decided to get married and didn't give Ken much time, but that didn't seem to bother him at all! He is extremely professional and willing to go the extra mile for our amazing day. He was quick to respond to our phone calls and our e-mails and made it clear that is was our day and he was just along for the ride. Ken's knowledge and humor made our day even more special. If we have another celebration I wouldn't hesitate to call Ken and have him be a part of our day again! Thank you so much for everything you have done. You are fantastic!

    If you are looking for someone who is a relaxed and goes with the flow he's perfect! If you need changes he is willing to make changes moments before you walk down the aisle if you want. He will go above to make sure that your day is perfect and special for you. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

    We give ThymeMark Celebrations/Ken a perfect score! My husband and I would recommend Ken to anyone looking for an officiant. From the start he was very friendly, informative, and understanding. Ken made our ceremony planning special and stress free. He was easy to work with and he was always available to work with us and answer our questions. Ken is very outgoing and really tries to get to know his couples and their personalities to add a special touch to their ceremony. You will not be disappointed in choosing Ken for your wedding, or other special life event!

    I attended the wedding of a childhood friend where Ken was the officiant. He did an outstanding job of capturing the personality of both the bride and groom by mixing the perfect amount of seriousness with humor! He is great, and I would highly recommend him to others!

    Very Flexible and Easy to Work With

    Ken was very responsive and easy to work with. He was right on top of all communication and helped to make the ceremony tailored to us. Our day was untraditional but Ken was flexible and we all had fun!
