These aren't your average ministers! From their appearance, to their sense of fashion, to their preparation, to their communication, to their experience and everything in between you will quickly see our team consists of the best-of-the-best officiants you'll find anywhere. Our Dallas-Fort Worth officiants are real licensed/ordained ministers, love officiating weddings (too many to count), and are perfectly suited for today's bride and groom.
Mathew DeBlanc, Founder and President
Mathew is often described as a sharp dressed gentleman driven by excellence and detail. Before launching HIREAMINISTER.com, he spent 18 years of his life in pastoral ministry at some of the nation’s leading churches as well as traveling nationally and internationally speaking to thousands, developing leaders, and equipping people for everyday life.
Mathew holds a Bachelor Degree in Sociology from the University of North Texas and is an ordained minister who has officiated countless weddings. He has been married to his beautiful bride, Sarah, for 24 years and they have two kids, Jake and Halli, to round out their family. He enjoys spending as much time as possible with his family, dating his wife, traveling, hanging out with good friends, working out, and anything outdoors.
Josh Robertson
Josh is the All-American on our team. Obviously his beard game is strong but, beyond that, he’s a former US Army Ranger serving from 2005-2009 as a Team Leader for Special Operations Command Unit (3rd Ranger Battalion) where he led Ranger line teams into battle on several deployments including 200+ high risk operations. Holy cow! He’s a pro communicator with impeccable fashion, loves the outdoors, and is a coffee aficionado. Told ya he’s an All-American!
Chris Avila
Chris is the definition of living life to the fullest and he brings that life to every wedding he officiates. He’s been a chaplain for professional athletes for over 15 years from the NFL Oakland Raiders, to Major League Baseball, to pro boxers and UFC fighters. Crazy right?! He called New York and California home before making his way to Texas, claims to be a wizard on the basketball court, loves the beach, and is head over heels about his family.
Cory Procter
Imagine having a former Dallas Cowboy officiate your wedding! Cory (CP71) spent five seasons playing for America’s Team from 2005-2009 plus another season with the Miami Dolphins before his NFL career ended from an injury. He went on to play drums for the metal band Free Reign, a project involving two other former Cowboys; appeared on a VH1 reality tv show; and is now a highly sought after professional speaker. coryprocter.com | CP71 Fee: $2,250
Ignacio Cerda
Ignacio has quickly become one of the most popular bilingual officiants in North Texas. He’s originally from Monterrey, Mexico and his Spanish and English are impeccable. Ignacio has an incredible way with words and the ability to make you feel like you’ve known him your entire life. As a new dad he loves hanging out with his family and their two Russian Blue cats. Fun Fact: Ignacio played fútbol in college and met his wife at an FC Dallas match! BILINGUAL
John Cruse
John is a big city guy with a lot of southern charm and charisma! He and his wife (who’s a Grammy award winning musician) have a huge extended family that stretches across the nation. You should see their Thanksgiving gathering! John has an impeccable taste for fashion, loves a perfectly tailored suit, a good pair of boots, and has spent the majority of his life communicating on some of the biggest stages. We love John and you will too!
Eric Hill
Eric definitely has the most intriguing background on our team. He was born in Germany; went to High School in Japan; has traveled extensively all over the world; is a lover of science, history, and philosophy; and is a collector of thoughts, books, tattoos, and memories. He’s also wicked smart graduating Summa Cum Laude from LSU (Geaux Tigers!) and earning his MBA from Dallas Baptist University. On top of that he’s a brilliant writer and captivating communicator!
Joshua Haddad
Joshua has a personality, sense of humor, and wit that is unmatched! He loves to hunt but usually isn’t very successful; was born and raised in El Paso; used to own three Chicken Express franchises; and once bought a dog just to be able to talk to the girl who worked at the pet store that he’s now been married to for 15 years. You can’t make that stuff up! Joshua and his family love laughing together and pulling pranks on each other. It’s fair to say he’s a fun loving guy!
Carl Roberts
Carl is a favorite among brides! He's never met a stranger and is one of the most encouraging, joyful, genuine and caring people you'll ever meet. He has a way of making you feel like you've known him for years! Carl enjoys checking off places around the world he's traveled to and has been on more cruises than probably anyone else you know. He has a heart of gold and a contagious smile plus his fashion game is on point!
Jonathan Landis
Jonathan has never met a coffee shop he doesn't like and is easily the smartest guy on our team with more master's degrees than he knows what to do with. He's articulate, smooth, sharp as a tack, and has a steel trap mind! We're not sure what this guy can't do...he's pretty much amazing at everything he does including officiating weddings.
Mike Mitchell
Mike brings a high level of style and class to every ceremony he officiates! He’s a man of many talents who has an infectious personality, loves a good suit, can straight up sing, and is all about loving his family well. Mike and his wife have four beautiful children that keep their life full and fun and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Elliott Pickering
Elliott is easily the most sincere and kindhearted person anywhere — at least anywhere in the DFW metroplex! He's an expert in relationships, has an impressive jump shot, and can box (yes, you read that right) with the best of them. But don't let his boxing skills fool you! Elliott is a lover not a fighter. Just ask his beautiful wife and their two precious kids.
Kelly James
Kelly is as good as gold. He’s been married for 24 years, has two daughters, is a phenomenal musician, a terrible golfer who keeps going back for more punishment, a Texas Tech fan (Wreck ‘em!), and loves road trips with his family. Most of his Instagram posts carry the hashtag #dadwithdaughters and, to top it off, Kelly has a very impressive head of hair.
Brad Land
Brad is a man's man. Not many guys can pull off a beard with style and sophistication like he does! He has more charisma and southern charm in his pinky finger than ten people combined and is an avid fisherman that will fish anywhere there's water. Brad is the son of an East Texas preacher so he definitely knows a thing or two about officiating weddings.
Mike Duran
Mike is a passionate, multi-talented, and all around incredible guy! He’s an amazing communicator, a natural musician and artist, a master woodworker, and practices mixed martial arts. He’s a people person who makes you feel like you’ve known him for years! The most important people in Mike’s life are his fun loving wife and their daughters. BILINGUAL
Joe Crenshaw
You’ve probably read bald men are more intelligent and successful than men with lush locks. Well that’s 100% true if you’re talking about Joe! Not only is he conversational in five different languages, he plays the guitar and sings like he’s auditioning for The Voice, is a wannabe chef, a personal trainer, a JEEP enthusiast, and a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan. Above all, Joe’s #1 passion in life is his wife and children. BILINGUAL
Chandler Boyce
Chandler is the definition of a people person! He is a gifted and highly sought after public speaker who is on the forefront of leadership and communication across the nation. He and his wife have been married for 12 years and have an amazing daughter who lights up every day of their lives. When Chandler isn’t officiating a wedding, you can usually find him on a golf course chipping away at his mediocre handicap.
Micaias Rodriguez
Fluent in both Spanish and English, Micaias was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to New York when he was fifteen. He received a Bachelor degree in Finance from The State University of New York and a Masters Degree of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. Micaias is super relational and enjoys reading, biking, and a good laugh. His wife and two kids mean the world to him! BILINGUAL
