    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.

    I just love these two beautiful people. We worked together to create a wonderful ceremony. By the time we held the ceremony, it was just what they wanted.

    My new wife and I had looked around for awhile to find a pastor to perform our ceremony. When we first met with Pastor David, and his wife in their beautiful home, they welcomed us graciously and made us feel comfortable and, at home. They took the time to get to know us, to understand what this day meant to us, and what he created in the ceremony was perfect.
    The highlight of the entire experience was a couple of days later, when I was asked by a guest at our wedding who the pastor was and they commented: "He (Pastor David) seemed like he really wanted to marry you two, it was almost like he was just as proud to be there as you and your wife".
    I could not have described him any better. Thank you, Pastor David, for making our day even more special.

    We highly recommend Pastor David's services! We planned our wedding ceremony with Pastor David via Skype as we live in Colorado but we were married in Kansas. Pastor David made this process seamless. He was very professional and made our ceremony unique to our wishes. We've received tons of compliments from our wedding guests on how wonderful Pastor David's ceremony was. We highly recommend Pastor David!!

    I just loved doing this ceremony with this couple. The use of SKYPE made it an easy process, and the give and take in developing the ceremony was just excellent. I wish all my couples were this way. Bless you.

    Pastor David Barger was a wonderful officiant! My husband's family is Catholic and I was raised Presbyterian, but neither of us are practicing any form of Christianity. We wanted something religious and short. The pastor's "Catholic Lite" ceremony was perfect for us! He quickly sent over a generic ceremony outline and we modified it to fit our needs.

    Pastor David is very passionate about his work and it shows. I would highly recommend his service to any engaged couple!

    This couple is one of my all time favorites. They had specific wants and desires for their ceremony to be extra special, and we are pleased to have been able to help them realize their dream day. Thanks again for choosing us, it was our pleasure.

    David was very flexible and understanding when it came to our vision of our ceremony. Even when we had issues happen to change our ceremony, he was able to roll with it and perform our ceremony just as we wanted!
