About

Now a member of the Hall of Fame here on Wedding Pro. There is a reason our couples give us five star ratings. We love to build relationships with our couples, so we can really deliver the memorable wedding ceremony you want and deserve. The process we use has been time tested by couples just like you. We start with a creative consultation, which is a relaxed get to know you meeting. We gather all the information needed to make sure you have a ceremony that is truly designed for you. We ask about family ties, your belief system, what attracted you to your mate and your mate to you. Why do you want to marry; really looking at the core of your relationship. We are very affordable and offer you a turn-key ceremony experience. Let's schedule an interview soon. We are available through most video chat platforms such as Zoom, Facetime, Skype, and others so you don't have to leave the comfort of your home or fight traffic. Veteran owned.

Awesome Officiant

WOW- Pastor David was more than we ever could have asked for! Such an easy going man and even off just one FaceTime interview, he nailed it with the rough draft of our ceremony.... the final edition was AMAZING. There wasn’t a dry eye anywhere. He works with you and not only does he have a beautiful ceremony written, he is an EXCELLENT speaker. Beyond that, he even had his wife help with telling us when to walk and coordinate the ceremony!! Love the pastor cam, it gives us an amazing memory to watch in the near and far future. When I say you could not ask for a better officiant, I mean he is the ABSOLUTE BEST and you would be crazy not to have him help you with your wedding!!

Knowledgeable, reliable, and detail-oriented officiant with tons of personality!

David Barger and Elaine Hanson are close family friends and David officiated both of my sibling's weddings. It was a complete privilege and honor to have him officiate our wedding. David was very knowledgeable, thorough, and technologically proficient. We were able to coordinate much of the initially planning via Skype and through sharing documents on Google Drive since we were planning a destination wedding in San Antonio from Kansas City. David and Elaine were prompt and well prepared to coordinate our rehearsal the day before the wedding and arrived early on the day of our wedding to help with setup and preparation for the ceremony. David has a natural charisma that is undeniable, a quick wit, infectious humor, and a genuine concern and care for his clients. Elaine was so kind, flexible, insightful, and willing to assist with anything that we needed during the frenzy of wedding preparation. David also instructed us on how to visit the courthouse and obtain all the proper legal documentation required and met with us a few days before the wedding and rehearsal to ensure that the ceremony was completely customized to our liking. We were even able to make some last minute tweaks the day before after reflecting on the prior meetings and decision-making. There is a reason It's a Wonderful Life Weddings is voted the best officiants in San Antonio, they are truly meant to be doing this type of work and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. David even recorded the entire ceremony via his signature Pastor Cam and had it uploaded to a private YouTube link by the next day! We are forever grateful for the amazing services that were provided to us on and leading up to this very special day. We were so comfortable and things went so smoothly because of all the preparation and attention to detail. Thank you David and Elaine for all your hard work, your true friendship, and your investment in our lives. We love you guys so very much!

The experience wasn’t stressful

Pastor David and his wife Elaine are amazing! From our very first meeting to the day we said “I do”, the process was easy! There were no surprises and they were very flexible with our requests. I would recommend them for weddings, vow renewals, etc. We booked early because they do fill up fast- especially in the fall and spring seasons.
