the phone with Joe, we knew he was the right fit for us and the person we wanted to perform the ceremony. He was so nice to work with and even at our rehearsal the night before he broke down the ceremony step by step on how it was going to go and even through in a couple of jokes to keep the mood light. All of our guests praised how beautifully the ceremony was written and delivered. We are incredibly grateful that David and Joe were able to make our day one to always remember.

ould definitely recommend him. As a side note he also keeps you on task, vows, marriage license, and general all around helpful.

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!!

thing but wonderful praises from all that were present or view the lapel cam video. I loved watching our wedding from that perspective. We highly recommend and very happy that we discovered. Pastor David that you for everything!! Kind regards, Cara and Michael Johnson

ling with leading up to the wedding day and he is a cool calm relaxing voice of reason and reassurance. He met with us several times and is available both in person and via the web. We met with him both ways and enjoyed our conversations getting to know him, and allowing him to get to know us. He is able to prepare a wonderful service that he custom creates just for your relationship and for your wedding day. We actually had to postpone our celebration due to the shelter in place order, but Pastor Dave did not let that deter him. When we asked him to officiate our wedding while observing the social distancing and small group with only our immediate family present, he jumped at the opportunity. He truly loves what he does and bringing couples and families together. Thank you Pastor Dave, and we look forward to seeing you at the next wedding where we celebrate with our whole family and friends!

ews and eventually opted to have a video-chat consultation with Pastor David Barger, where he wanted to know more about us and listened to us give our expectations. There was no pressure to make a decision, but after the chat we already knew we had to have him by our side! David was very professional and had a first draft of our ceremony within 48 hours! The rehearsal was smooth and the actual ceremony was spot-on! His choice of words, the selected readings, and the way he worked the crowd were fantastic! Lastly, we were provided a body-cam footage of the entire ceremony! We did not hire a videographer so this was a pleasant surprise to cherish forever! Thank you Pastor David for your services!

smooth without all his help.

ugh he made them “surprises” which worried us a tad. The ceremony was beautiful and we received many compliments!

ing) and Pastor David reminded us. He was at the rehearsal and wedding on time and everyone loved him during the ceremony!

our wedding, and she officiated us beautifully. The couple was so understanding of our circumstances with some sick family members, and took extra steps to ensure that they were recognized. They're such a caring and wonderful couple that goes the extra mile for the couples. I highly recommend them!

rought me relief. Hopefully, I will never have the need for an officiant again but when any of my friends are looking for one, I will be sure to recommend Pastor David Barger. Our ceremony was outstanding, thanks to him!

with any concerns or questions and he was easy for payment as well. During the ceremony he had actually recorded it through a little pocket camera of some sort! I loved that. It was personal and it didn’t feel like it was scripted or he was just there to do the ceremony and then leave. David was amazing and definitely pulled our beautiful unforgettable day together. I recommend david for sure! You won't be disappointed!

a template to help personalize our ceremony. He worked diligently to make sure that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. He even came by the night before the wedding to give us a quick briefing and make sure we felt good about the whole process. His orchestration of the wedding was impeccable! Thank your for the "Wonderful Life Wedding"! Truly beautiful, always memorable!

a successful ceremony experience. Exactly what you want in an officiant. Michael and I planned our wedding from out of state, and David would meet with us regularly via Skype to ensure a personalized and successful ceremony. He worked with us to identify readings, created a script for our unity braid, and kept our audience engaged for a 30 minute ceremony. We have loved working with him before, during and after our wedding. Beyond highly recommended, we wouldn’t have wanted our wedding with anyone else!

nd he provided the perfect balance for us. He was very quick to answer all of our questions compared to others we reached out to. His personality came out during the readings in our ceremony and made the whole process much more memorable and fun. Thank you so much for everything Pastor David!

and love resonating from Pastor David. His questions are not just to get to know you, but to enter your life and create a message that's personal to your individual relationship. Pastor David will give you exactly what you need no matter what!

t. We gave him some changes to make and he did quickly. David got to the wedding site early. He was extremely friendly and professional. We were both happy with his service. The bonus was getting a video of the ceremony from him taken via a camera in his pocket. We highly recommend David and his company.

I would recommend It’s a Wonderful Life Weddings to anyone looking for an officiant! Pastor Joe and Pastor David are fantastic and put so much thought and care into each ceremony. Thank you again for everything!

ficient. 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!

Our ceremony went exactly as planned and was amazing. We definitely recommend Pastor David Barger for your officiant needs.

vendors I had to deal with for our wedding, David and Elaine were like a breath of fresh of air! They are hands down the best!

weren't running around crazy last minute. We would highly recommend them! The ceremony was perfect!

r wedding if you’re looking!

t like he was too busy to go over our ceremony or answer questions that we had. The Pastor-Cam recording of our wedding was ultimately a nice addition to our memories that he provided free of charge. He is personally a very friendly and easy-going individual and can offer a very pleasant addition to any wedding or formal ceremony. We feel very fortunate to have found Pastor Dave, definitely recommend him for your officiant needs.

ed him!

both very accommodating and willing to make any changes that we wanted.

the wedding. We were glad to have them be a part of our special day and we know you will too!

of the wedding and he exceeded our expectations with giving us direction, options, suggestions, immediately responding to our emails/calls and taking time to read our vows. Our wedding was on 10/20/2018 today is 10/30/2018 and we are still getting compliments from our family and friends about Pastor David and how engaged he was during the ceremony. I stated, “he went above and beyond” well the next day he had something very dear and special for us. I won’t reveal what this was so he will have an opportunity to bring joy to another happily married couple. If you are searching for an officiant you can stop searching because you have found the best!!! Pastor David Barger I would like to thank you for a beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony.

u cannot go wrong with him.

to offer assistance in tracking down a translator for a bi-lingual ceremony. Service was above and beyond! And what’s more is they actually cared about our marriage. I couldn’t imagine lending a better recommendation to any wedding official/priest/pastor.

handling of the marriage certificate. He also had a go pro in his pocket day of the ceremony and recorded the whole ceremony. We are forever grateful for our Pastor and highly recommend!!

his beautiful words 3 months later! I would highly recommend David Barger to perform your wedding ceremony!!!

stor Dave!

le with our requests. He showed up early to the rehearsal and the wedding to ensure he had time to get what he needed for our ceremony without having to come to us with last minute questions which I truly appreciated. His actual delivery of the ceremony was perfect and he was always very professional. Extra points for delivering our ceremony in 98 degree weather. I would 100% recommend Pastor David, he will make your ceremony truly beautiful and special.

ife to discuss what type of ceremony we wanted and he kept in contact prior to the ceremony to get just the right words down. He did not disappoint! The ceremony was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Perfect. His words were quite moving with a touch of humor. If you're getting married in San Antonio, Texas, I HIGHLY recommend Pastor Dave. You will NOT be disappointed. Tim and ElizaBeth Clark

any other officiants require a certain amount of assistance in finding out where they need to set up. However, Pastor David already knew to speak with the DJ to get a lapel mic, knew where to stand for the ceremony, and had a very confident/welcoming atmosphere during the ceremony. He even comes with a "pastor cam" which he uses to record the wedding for us at no additional charge!! Honestly I was amazed that he included so much value at such an affordable price. I know how hard it can be to find decent reviews so I'm making sure David gets the love he deserves!

ve us a couple rough drafts until the wording was just the way we wanted it. He also gave us advice on how to write our own vows. He is easy to communicate with and made our ceremony everything I had hoped i would be. We received several compliments on how great our officiant was after the wedding. I can't recommend him enough!!

e. He was accommodating and kind throughout the entire process. The ceremony was the perfectly personal and meaningful, and everyone commented how lovely the ceremony was at the reception. We would recommend Pastor Joe to anyone looking for someone to officiate their wedding.

ade us feel so comfortable. He was very nice to our families and wedding party. He even made a last minute change to make sure that all our family was included. David followed through on our wedding day and we received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful our ceremony was. I highly recommend that you choose It's a Wonderful Life Weddings SA!

He took the time to get to know our personal story and was so helpful with our questions and efficient in coming up with our marriage ceremony months ahead of time. Having the most important part of the day taken care of really helped us feel relieved and also kept us focused on the direction we wanted our special day to take. Thank you, Pastor Dave, for creating our perfect ceremony!

I met with him and his lovely wife Elaine for a consultation and we knew instantly he was the one to marry us! They are both full of happiness, love and have a great sense of humor. David made changes to our ceremony script days before the wedding without hesitation even after I had approved it. During our rehearsal David was very patient, thorough and provided great feedback so that we could have a flawless ceremony. His wife Elaine was THE BEST in guiding our wedding party down the aisle. I felt no worry at the beginning of the ceremony and as a bride this was the best feeling. I was able to just concentrate on myself and getting down the aisle. I felt like we got so much more than we expected considering the price we paid. His pastor cam is awesome! We are so grateful to have had the pleasure to meet these beautiful people and have David marry us. My guest absolutely loved him! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you David and Elaine. Love always, The Ganoes.

, and again on a visit right before the wedding. He really gets to know you (but is a nice balance- quickly gets down to the task at hand too) and helped us create a personalized ceremony that perfectly fit us and our families. This, for us, was "religion light" but still very meaningful. He was easy to keep in touch with throughout the process. He made everything easy, from running our rehearsal dinner... down to the detail of sending in our marriage license in. Thank you for getting us married!
