"Hamid R. Kharrat was an absolute blessing to have as our officiant. Our wedding in Krum, Texas, on March 23, 2023, was everything we hoped for—beautiful, heartfelt, and unforgettable—and Hamid played a huge part in making that happen. He took the time to understand our story and delivered a ceremony that felt genuine and personal, not generic. He was calm, confident, and incredibly professional, which helped us feel at ease in the moment. When Justin Garakanian married his Cuban queen, Liethes Ortiz Imbert, Hamid helped make the ceremony feel even more special and meaningful. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly cares, communicates well, and brings the perfect balance of warmth and elegance to your ceremony, we can’t recommend Hamid enough."

"Hamid conducted the Persian ceremony at our wedding in September 2025. Hamid was amazing throughout the whole process, and really helped from start to finish. We met with him a couple times virtually prior to our wedding week, and were able to share our hopes for the ceremony, and Hamid got to know more about our love story. In-person, starting at our rehearsal, Hamid really helped bring organization to our large wedding party, and helped those unfamiliar understand the nuances of the Persian ceremony. On the wedding day, Hamid surpassed all our expectations! Not only did he do a wonderful job explaining all parts of the Persian ceremony, but his charisma and personal touches make the ceremony so unique and a huge hit! I had multiple guests comment on how wonderful the ceremony was, specifically asking about Hamid and his services! Hamid’s personality and tailoring the ceremony to us made it so unforgettable, not only to us but also our guests! Even now months later, friends reflect on this ceremony being such a standout part of the day! It was beautiful, emotional and had the perfect amount of humour! We’re so grateful to have had Hamid as part of our day, and would recommend him to anyone for any ceremony type!

"Over ten years ago, our wedding was officiated in a truly memorable and meaningful way. The officiant did an exceptional job blending a Persian wedding ceremony with an American-style celebration, making the experience inclusive and easy to understand for everyone. Both sides of our family felt connected, respected, and fully present throughout the ceremony. It was incredibly important to us that our Persian and American guests could follow along and appreciate the significance of each moment, and the officiant made that possible with grace and clarity. We still look back on that day with so much gratitude."

"We had our wedding fully planned when COVID hit in 2020 and unexpectedly forced us to make changes. From the start, Hamid handled everything with confidence and professionalism, making the transition feel smooth and organized. By the time our wedding day arrived, we knew we were in excellent hands. During the ceremony, Hamid truly took control in the best possible way. He has a natural presence and knows exactly how to speak to a crowd. His energy immediately captured everyone’s attention and set the tone for the entire ceremony. He delivered our story in a way that felt personal, engaging, and meaningful, making the moment feel intimate while still connecting with every guest in the room. Hamid is an exceptional speaker, and his delivery made the ceremony feel polished, intentional, and memorable rather than generic or scripted. We received countless compliments from our guests on how powerful and personal the ceremony was. We are incredibly grateful to Hamid for leading our ceremony with such confidence, heart, and presence, especially during such a unique time. He played a huge role in making our wedding day unforgettable."

"When my fiancée and I were planning our wedding and it got to the questions of “who should wed us?” neither of us hesitated that it should be Hamid. Hamid Kharrat is my father, my friend, one of the most incredible men I know! We had experienced his skill in wedding others before and knew he would be perfect for the part! As his son I everyday saw the endless love between him and my mother, now going 50+ years strong and I wished for nothing less for my own marriage. He does not just read some lines and throw some rings on two peoples fingers, he truly cares to make each and every wedding a special unforgettable experience that is individually dedicated to that couple and to those in attendance. There is no one like the one and only Hamid!"
