Pundit Sharma officiated our Hindu wedding on September 4th 2011, and we couldn't be happier! Punditji was very professional and courteous. He really cared about what type of ceremony we wanted, and delivered exactly that. Punditji was also extremely organized and did not overlook any detail. Many of our wedding guests commented on how articulate Punditji is. We are so honored and blessed that he officiated our wedding.

Thank you so much, Pandit Sharma, for the beautiful ceremony you performed for our wedding. Like so many of the other testimonials here, we were delighted with your attention to detail, putting us at ease so we could enjoy our big day, and sharing the beauties of the Hindu tradition with our guests of diverse backgrounds. We couldn't have asked for anything more to make the day more special.

One's wedding is one of the most important steps in a person's life other than having children. Pandit Sharma performed our ceremony with such attention to detail that we feel so blessed to have him as our Pandit and now new lifelong family friend. His explanations of the ceremony were invaluable to us so we understood the religious and spiritual bonds being created, as well as to our guests, especially ones that don't speak Sanskrit (everyone!), to understand the traditions and deep values placed on marriage in each step of the ceremony. We still remember it well even though it was years ago. It was perfect. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Pandit Sharma recently officiated a Hindu ceremony for a multi-faith marriage between myself and my Jewish wife. We had two ceremonies (Hindu and Jewish) and both the Pandit and the Rabbi participated in both.
Pandit Sharma was very thorough and detailed in meeting with us before the wedding to walk through his ideas on how it should proceed as well as holding a rehearsal with the entire wedding party so there were no surprises on the day itself. He was also very flexible in adjusting the ceremony to accommodate our wishes, while still retaining the important traditional elements of a Hindu ceremony.
We had a lovely ceremony and he was a big part of it, conducting it with verve and respect and making everyone feel very comfortable and part of the occasion. We're very happy to have worked with him and recommend him highly to anyone else.
Thanks Panditji!

Pandit Sharma, conducted a beautiful ceremony for us. We are a mixed couple, Indian/Chinese and Pandit Sharma provided excellent service. He offered a rehearsal service which helped the groom's side get comfortable with the Hindu ceremony rituals. His service is remarkable and offers excellent support during the whole engagement process. The ceremony was beautifully done, on time, and with english translation. He added humor and enough seriousness to the event. We highly recommend him for wedding services especially for couples looking to conduct a hindu service where the bride and groom may be of different backgrounds.

Pandit Sharma conducted a lovely ceremony for us. We had a mixed audience, some of whom had never attended a Hindu wedding before and Panditji ensured everything was very clear and well explained. He did a very good job of keeping the ceremony moving smoothly while still maintaining a very spiritual atmosphere. Thank you so much for making our wedding day wonderful!

Panditji performed our wedding in Nov 2009 and we still get compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. Panditji did a great job of explaining the ceremony in a simple way and the meaning of different rituals. His ability to blend two religions (Hindu-Jain) into the ceremony was very appreciated. All our guests felt very engaged in the ceremony because of his way of making it simple and understandable . We had a lot of non-Indian guests who complimented on how meaningful the ceremony was. He also performed and guided us through our pre-wedding ceremonies (Chuda, Havan, Sehra bandi, etc). Panditji made our wedding very meaningful and memorable and we would highly recommend him.

Panditji performed our wedding ceremony, and we were so pleased. Even though many of our guests, including my husband's family were not Indian, they ALL commented on how beautiful and special the ceremony was. He went the extra mile to carefully and periodically explain every part of the wedding ceremony as we went along. Panditji performed our wedding as if we were his own family, and that was quite special to us. He also performed my sister's wedding (Punjabi - Gujrati), and later on, another guest's wedding the following summer.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!
