Pastor David Sweet is a wedding officiant based near Austin, Texas who has performed hundreds of weddings at over 40 different wedding venues (plus private residences) all over Central Texas, as far away as a radius of 100 miles from Austin Texas. Pastor David has served as a pastor and Associate pastor for more than 30 years. He is currently a full-time pastor.

He has had many very satisfied couples. Many who have attended ceremonies he conducted say that the message he brings is meaningful, even moving, for them. His forte is a traditional Christian ceremony, but he is open to modifications and changes depending on the couple's religious background or preferences. You are free to add elements, readings, or other additions.

Since most weddings are outdoors, Pastor David knows how to keep the ceremony brief, uplifting, and with a touch of humor throughout to lighten the celebration.

Pastor David arrives early at the site of the ceremony to speak to the coordinator and check on key details and go over the 'hand-off' of the bride. He gets paid only on the day of the wedding. His charge includes unlimited texts, calls, emails, or visits to help plan the ceremony and get to know the couple. He also offers limited pre-marital counseling at $30 per session upon request.

David is extremely qualified and holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas in Austin, a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate of Ministry from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Best officiant around hands down!

I have been to my fair share of weddings and the officiant can really make or break the ceremony portion of the wedding (the most important part!). I have seen everything from officiants getting the names wrong to forgetting to do an exchanging of the rings. Not David Sweet. He scheduled a conversation with me to go over what we wanted in our ceremony. I grew up in a different church than my now husband and a different denomination than even David Sweet preaches at but he did a PHENOMENAL job! Even my grandparents were over the moon talking about what a great ceremony it was and how he was the best officiant they had ever seen! They kept talking about it the next day even! He made our ceremony exactly what we wanted. He was also great about briefing the groom and the father of the bride on their duties before the ceremony started. This was beyond helpful since due to my own schedule conflicts I couldn’t have a rehearsal. Additionally, he was quick to send me a picture of our signed marriage license that we needed for our honeymoon and quick to mail it off. We got our license back from the clerk before we even returned from our honeymoon. He is thoughtful in what he does. Before announcing us as husband and wife and allowing the first kiss, he hopped off to the side to not be in any of the first kiss photos. I hadn’t thought of this previously but was grateful that he did! He doesn’t make you sign a contract which you may feel uncertain about but no need to fret or worry. He is a man of his word. Don’t hesitate; book David Sweet!

Absolutely wonderful

David did an amazing job, he walked my wife and I though the process and how to go about making the ceremony official in a polite and respectful manner. He was very patient and let us ask him any questions that came to mind. He worked very hard to accommodate our ceremony preferences, and did a great job at it.
