We loved having Panditji Prabhakar Sharma perform our ceremony. I saw him perform a friend's ceremony almost 7 years ago and knew that I wanted him to one day perform my own. My husband jokes that I found my pandit before my groom!

Panditji does a wonderful job listening to us and our family requests to incorporate certain regional traditions. What I love most is that he explains each step in English so that everyone understands the significance. Also, he kept to the timeline! All our friends and family told us that it was a beautiful ceremony.

Our ceremony ended up being our favorite part of the wedding thanks to Panditji. We worked with him to customize our Hindu ceremony to incorporate both Indian and American traditions that were important to us for our fusion wedding. It was critical that whoever officiated our wedding would be able to clearly explain the ceremony to us and our guests (many who had never seen a Hindu ceremony) in English and Panditji did an amazing job – while also making the ceremony lighthearted and funny! Several months before the wedding, he welcomed my then fiancé and I, as well as my family, into his home where we talked through the ceremony and watched videos of previous ceremonies he officiated. From start to finish, he clearly answered of our questions and provided valuable feedback based on his experience. We have received such incredible feedback from our friends and family about how special the ceremony was and what a great job Panditji did – including our family from India who said that even though they see Hindu ceremonies all the time, it was the first time every step was explained so clearly and learned a lot from it. We would recommend Panditji to anyone and specially to couples and families looking to have their ceremony performed with clear English translation for themselves and for their guests. Thank you for making our ceremony so special!

I worked with Prabhakar Sharma at a wedding last month. He's so easy to work with, helps those that may not understand the Indian traditions, is willing to combine Indian and American traditions into the ceremony easily. At the ceremony, guests raved about how he was on time, inclusive, funny and educated the guest about the Indian traditions. I loved working with him and hope to again at a future wedding.
