Pandit Ji performed our wedding ceremony on December 8th, 2010 in India. We wouldn’t have made a better decision and are honored that he could be a part of our wedding and made it memorable.  He ensured to make our wedding memorable and extraordinary not just for us but for everyone present there. He took time to understand our different (Punjabi & Gujarati) cultures and how to merge them into a beautiful ceremony. He ensured to include both our parents in the ceremony and fulfill everyone’s desires. He explained meaning of the mantras that kept everyone involved in the ceremony. I am so glad and thankful for having you perform our wedding. Thank you so much!!

Comments: Panditji performed our wedding ceremony in April of 2010 and we honestly could not have made a better selection. He did a fantastic job of explaining all along the way and making everyone feel included, regardless of whether they were familiar with the religious, cultural and spiritual background. Many of our guests, both those who had witnessed Hindu ceremonies before and those who had not, have since commented that it was one of the most beautiful and meaningful ceremonies they have ever seen. From our very first meeting with Panditji to the ceremony itself, we were very pleased with our decision and truly felt that our ceremony was personal and memorable.

Comments: Pandit Sharma performed a beautiful Hindu ceremony while giving English explanations of the steps for the non-Indian guests. We really appreciated the time he took to meet with us and our parents. He helped guide us in coordinating both the Gujarati and Punjabi traditions. He also helped us put together programs for the guests. What we especially loved was that he kept it long enough to satisfy our parents but short enough to keep everyone involved and attentive. It was a pleasure working with him!

I just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for absolutely everything you did for Mom's funeral. You conducted everything perfectly. I really don't know what we would have done without you. Your words and presence were awe inspiring and I have taken so much on board to make me a better person and look at life in a more positive way.

Comments: Panditji performed our wedding in 2005 and we still get frequent comments today on how wonderful the ceremony was. In particular, we were so pleased by Panditji's ability to blend two cultures and two religions into a beautifully seamless and balanced marriage ceremony. He did a wonderful job of explaining the religious meaning of each ritual as well as its relevance to our relationship. Panditji made our wedding wonderful and we would recommend him to anyone with our greatest endorsements.

Pandit Sharma was simply brilliant. For my husband and I who were pretty new to the Hindu ceremony proceedings, he made time for us in his busy schedule to integrate both our Gujrati and Telugu wedding traditions into one ceremony, talk us through the ceremony steps several times, answer all our questions, give us detailed printed versions of what to do during each step of the ceremony and a detailed list of what to bring on the marraige day. Everyone enjoyed his translation of the ceremony spinkled with sweet, endearing jokes. Instead of feeling nervous on our wedding day, we were so prepared that we felt relaxed and able to truly enjoy the rituals of getting married.

Comments: We had a fusion (Italian/Indian) ceremony, and Pandit Sharma was amazing. He did a terrific job explaining each ritual so that all guests felt included. The Italian side couldn't stop raving about how meaningful they thought it was and it's all because Pandit Sharma understood and connected with us as well as the audience. He includes very appropriate humor to keep the ceremony interesting for those who aren't used to a longer, Indian ceremony. Also, the rehearsal was very beneficial for my Italian in-laws so they didn't feel too lost on the special day. Highly recommended!

Panditji, What a memorable and one of a kind wedding ceremony! Our guests actually enjoyed and paid attention to our wedding ceremony because you translated the mantras and told us the significance of it. We especially appreciated the time and effort you put in our wedding and offered us ways to personalize it to make it a unique experience. Rehearsal of the wedding ceremony was a brilliant idea which most Pandits don't usually offer. It allowed us to understand the whole progression so that ceremony flowed flawlessly the day of the wedding. Thank you so much for making our wedding truly special!
