    Was amazing for our fusion wedding!

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Priest Vimal for our fusion wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he took the time to truly listen to both me and my mother about what elements of our Bengali culture we wanted to incorporate. He was incredibly thoughtful in not only honoring those traditions but also explaining them to my (now) wife in a way that was clear, engaging, and easy to understand. I even found myself learning new things along the way!

    One thing that really stood out was the rehearsal he आयोजित for us a few weeks before the wedding. It was incredibly valuable and helped us feel comfortable and prepared for the big day.

    During the ceremony, Priest Vimal was exceptionally organized and well-prepared. He explained each ritual to our friends and family in a way that was accessible, lighthearted, and enjoyable, keeping everyone engaged regardless of their familiarity with the traditions. He struck the perfect balance between meaningful and approachable.

    He also paid close attention to the flow of the event, even coordinating seamlessly with our DJ to ensure moments like the bride’s entrance were perfectly timed.

    If you’re looking for a modern priest who will collaborate with you to create a ceremony that feels authentic, personal, and inclusive for a diverse group of guests, we highly recommend Priest Vimal. He truly made our wedding ceremony special and memorable for everyone involved.

    Pandit Vimal is the best!

    There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Pandit Vimal is - from the moment we contacted him (his response time is minutes, not hours!) to the end of the wedding and everything in-between, he was simply superb. He did not say no to any of our requests and was impeccably on top of things at all times. We ended the wedding feeling truly blessed thanks to his presence.

    Excellent experience

    Priest Vimal was fantastic to work with. He was friendly, professional and worked very closely with us to create the perfect ceremony for our interfaith wedding. He performed both our main ceremony and grah shanti. He communicated well and made sure to help us match our ceremony to our values. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Priest for Fusion Wedding!

    Pundit Vimal was an absolute delight to have as the priest for our fusion wedding! Leading up to the ceremony, he met with us several times over video chat to go over the details of our ceremony and make sure we understood the process. It was important to us that we have a short (~1 hour), traditional Hindu ceremony, narrated in English for my (bride's) family and our friends. He even met with my parents, who are not Hindu, to walk them through their role in the ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, Pundit Vimal performed a beautiful and fun ceremony that everyone enjoyed. We received compliments from EVERYONE. We could not recommend him more.

    Great experience!

    Vimal did a great job for our ceremony. From the initial conversations, he was well-organized, very responsive, and kept in close communication with us. He customized the ceremony to exactly the way we wanted it done. We really appreciated his thoughtfulness and guidance throughout the entire process. We highly recommend him!

    Made our ceremony unforgettable

    We were so fortunate to have Priest Vimal officiate our Indian-American wedding ceremony. From the very beginning, he took the time to sit down with us and thoroughly explain the rituals—not only to us as a couple, but also to my American husband’s family, who were unfamiliar with Hindu traditions. His patience, clarity, and warmth made everyone feel included and comfortable.

    During the ceremony, he walked us and the guests through each step in English, helping everyone understand the significance behind the rituals. His ability to blend tradition with accessibility created an experience that was both spiritual and educational for all involved. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was—thanks in large part to his thoughtful approach.

    We’re truly grateful for the role he played in our special day and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a priest who honors tradition while making it accessible and engaging for a diverse audience.

    Great for interfaith ceremony!

    We had Maharaj Vimal officiate our Hindu wedding ceremony and he did a great job explaining everything in English. We had a multi-ethnic and interfaith ceremony and Maharaj Vimal did a good job balancing the traditional elements of the ceremony with the more modern aspects. Would definitely recommend him to others!

    Thorough, experienced and so wonderful to work with!

    We were so grateful to have Priest Vimal-ji lead our Grah Shanti and Wedding ceremonies in Florida this past month. In the weeks before the event, he was incredibly communicative—taking the time to walk us through the meaning behind each step of the ceremony, the supplies we’d need, and how we could combine both of our cultures. He engaged thoughtfully with both us and our parents, which was especially helpful as we wanted to make sure they were part of the planning process too.

    Vimal-ji even took the time to meet with us in person upon arriving at the venue, for a smooth handover of all supplies. His commitment meant so much to us.

    Vimal-ji’s energy is uplifting, and his presence brought both warmth and depth to our celebrations. We are glad to have had him guide us through this important milestone in our lives.

    Great hindu priest for our *surprise* hindu ceremony/wedding!

    We received so many compliments on Pundit Ji's "express ceremony" (as all the aunties and uncles are calling it)!! Some people even asked for his contact information for future events. He made us all laugh and kept us all engaged in what is, sometimes, the most boring part in Indian weddings. He worked so well with our parents and helped make our unique *surprise* wedding vision come to life!

    Highly recommend Priest Vimal!

    My husband and I are so fortunate to have had Priest Vimal officiate our Hindu wedding ceremony in the Bahamas. We are a fusion couple (Indian & Jewish) and Vimal was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the wedding planning process. Vimal was always more than willing to hop on the phone with us to answer our questions and explain every step of the ceremony to us and our parents, making customized changes based on our preferences and modern views on partnership. During the ceremony, Vimal was very engaging and took the time to explain each step in the ceremony in both English and Hindi, making sure our guests felt included and understood everything that was going on. We heard from many guests after the ceremony that this was by far the best Hindu ceremony they have ever been to!

    Overall, Vimal is extremely professional, kind, and an amazing priest. We HIGHLY recommend Vimal for anyone planning a Hindu wedding!

    Thank you so much!!


    We are incredibly grateful to have had Shri Vimal Panditji as our wedding pundit. From our first meeting, he made us feel comfortable and guided us through every step of the ceremony with warmth and expertise. His deep knowledge of the rituals and traditions truly enriched our special day, making it even more meaningful.

    Shri Vimal Panditji took the time to understand our preferences and incorporated personal touches. His energetic demeanor and engaging presence created a beautiful atmosphere, allowing us and our guests to fully immerse ourselves in the moment.

    We received countless compliments from our family and friends about how lovely the ceremony was, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

    Simply Amazing!

    We hired Pundit Vimal to assist with our fusion Indian (Gujarati)-American wedding. He blew it out of the water! All of our guests, both Indian and American were able to follow along due his excellent translation of verses and personal humor to lighten the mood. He kept everyone engaged and finished in a timely manner. High recommend his services!

    Amazing Destination Wedding Pundit

    Pundit Vimal performed a beautiful ceremony for our destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico. He is a very jolly and polite person who created an authentic and memorable experience. His stories and personal touches made the ceremony unique and engaging for all our guests. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about him. We had multiple Zoom calls to review the ceremony script, and Pundit Vimal was incredibly helpful in explaining each part, especially for my husband, who is not Hindu. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our special day.

    Flexibilty and Responsiveness

    Vimal Pandit-ji was a wonderful priest. His response time for emails is essentially 0 seconds. He was available for phone/zoom calls during off-business hours. He was also incredibly flexibile with the ceremony, and was willing to include/exclude any portions so that the ceremony was to our liking. He's also just a nice human.

    Wedding in Tulum!

    Pandit Raval is incredible! Everyone from our wedding loved the way he did the service. I’m Indian and my husband is Dominican and we are both from NYC. We had a lot of people who wouldn’t have understood what was happening but Pandit Raval did an amazing job at explaining everything in English and even throwing in some jokes, just what we wanted! I highly recommend his services and he made our wedding perfect!

    Namaste pandit . We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful ceremony you did in Mexico for our daughter wedding in November. Pandit Vimal you did such an amazing ceremony that helped us feel connected to God and jokes that made everyone laugh. Thank you Pandit. Everyone who attended kept telling us they enjoy the ceremony and prayer.🙏 It was the first Hindu ceremony for most of the people who attended and they all loved it so much. Thank you and have a blessed New year.

    Priest Vimal was excellent !

    We asked Priest Vimal to do the wedding ceremony of our daughter in Cancun, Mexico. Our first experience with a destination wedding and we were doing a Hindu ceremony in a foreign country! The priest conducted a beautiful ceremony, took care of all the arrangements and explained the ceremony very well to the bride and groom and all the participants and attendees. It was a seamless no hassle experience and we were extremely pleased with everything.

    Pundit Vimal conducted an amazing ceremony for us during our destination wedding in Cancun. He made sure to walk us through every step and we enjoyed our experience with him. I recommend him for any Hindu wedding ceremony. He was able to explain steps to our guests as well. After the ceremony many guests complimented him on the beautiful ceremony! Thank you Pundit Vimal for a great experience!

    Knowledgeable and rooted in strong values

    Vimalbhai was an excellent priest for our wedding. He was respectful, knowledgeable, clear in communication, and rooted in values and traditions- he also showed flexibility. He ensured we did the ceremony properly to celebrate our heritage and met with us several times to get to know us and help with any questions we had. Our family will definitely continue having Vimalbhai lead any special wedding days in the future!

    Wonderful, accommodating priest!

    Priest Vimal was amazing. I am Hindu and my husband is Jewish. We had a combined ceremony with both a Hindu Priest and Jewish Rabbi in about 50 minutes. Priest Vimal worked with us to make a script that worked for both of our religions. He was very knowledgable in fusion ceremonies and was flexible in the way we wanted it to run. He was very engaging throughout the ceremony and he made the guests laugh a lot. He organized our zoom sessions to make sure we were on a good schedule and truly wanted to make sure our big day was special for us. Thank you Priest Vimal!!!

    Amazing and personal service

    Every step of the way was easy and stress free. What really set him apart was the fact he had several zoom calls with us prior to the wedding to talk through all our questions and make sure by the time the big day came, everything was set. During the wedding, which was interfaith, he did a great job of keeping true to the traditional Hindu wedding while at the same time making sure all the non Hindu guests understood every step of the way, what was happening. I would 100% recommend him for your wedding.

    Hindu Priest for all types of couples

    Hindu priest Vimal was amazing through all stages of the process. We needed a Hindu priest that was comfortable performing a mixed ceremony alongside a Jewish officiant. Vimal was extremely flexible and easy to work with, and even had a sample script ready to go that gave us a good starting point for a Hindu-Jewish interfaith ceremony. The ceremony day was perfect, with Priest Vimal guiding the crowd through the Hindu elements with perfect and clear English, and in a very efficient manner keeping the total combined ceremony length to under 45 mins. We had nothing but positive feedback from guests about the ceremony. Cannot recommend Vimal enough for your Hindu and mixed ceremony needs.

    You Were Fantastic!

    Hi Priest Vimal,

    Hope you’re well! We met at Ali and Sonia’s wedding. I wanted to let you know that I thought you did an amazing job at the wedding. I have never been so fascinated by religious ceremonies. The way that you succinctly described everything you were about to do and why helped me to really feel like I belonged there and to understand the significance of each part. It was a wonderful learning opportunity on top of being there to support Ali and Sonia. Your warm leadership kept the pace going smoothly and helped to prevent too much time in the sun. Thank you for your travel and enduring the heat to make Ali and Sonia’s wedding a huge success (and of course their marriage from the ceremonies).

    Wishing you all the best,
    Janelle

    Wonderful to work with!

    Priest Vimal was wonderful to work with! We are two brides and we had a Hindu wedding in July 2023 in Cancun. Priest Vimal was easy to communicate with and he was very responsive to our questions. We had a Zoom call to meet each other, and then we had another Zoom call for him to meet our immediate family involved in the wedding ceremony. He explained everything clearly in English for the family members who had never experienced a Hindu wedding ceremony. Throughout the entire process he was patient, friendly, kind, and attentive to our needs. He listened to our preferences for the ceremony and worked with us to customize for two brides. Priest Vimal made us feel so comfortable and accepted. We are very grateful to have worked with Priest Vimal!

    Amazing Service

    We had to find a Hindu priest roughly 2 weeks before our wedding day and we felt so lucky that we found Vimalji. He was always quick to respond and walked us through the ceremony making note of the changes that we wanted to make. He was able to provide a detailed list of what we needed to bring and was able to bring most things himself. The ceremony was beautiful and perfect.

    Priest Vimal Review

    Priest Vimal made our wedding so special. He explained the Indian culture & traditions to our guests so well and EVERYONE came up to us and complimented him and the ceremony and how they loved it so much. He was so easy and fun to work with and made the process seamless. I could not recommend him more!!!! Much love

    Hindu Priest Vimal Rawal is EXCELLENT

    Priest Vimal Rawal is a learned young panditji from NJ who conducted the wedding of my daughter in Mexico City. He not only made it easy for us, he was a wonderful cultural ambassador as well. There was a hushed silence as he conducted the various important ceremonies. He had prepared us well earlier. At the end, we felt that there was a rain of bliss showered on all - bride, groom, parents, family and guests alike. It was like a blissful amrita-dhara that those not familiar with Indian weddings also felt palpably. We heard “This is the best wedding I’ve ever been to” over and over from just so many people. Vimal Maharaj is one of a kind. If you’re fortunate, you will hire him. But you will learn how much of a family member he truly becomes! Very Grateful for his stellar service to my family. I recommend him highly to all who care to have a loving, intimate and a blissful wedding. Namaste. Aum Sai Ram. 🙏🙏🏽💞✨😇

    Fantastic experience

    We had a wonderful experience working with Priest Vimal. His professionalism and flexibility was exceptional. He was accommodating with all of our requests, and worked with us to make sure that our parents were satisfied with the ceremony. We would absolutely recommend him.

    The best ever!

    Priest Vimal was amazing not only during our wedding ceremony, but also prepping for the ceremony beforehand. He was extremely prompt in his responses toward any questions we had. He also took out time to speak with our parents to explain wedding ceremony details/timeline. He came early on our wedding day to setup for the ceremony and stayed until vidaai was completed. He made sure all of our ceremonies were beautifully completed. He did not rush us one bit, but also made sure we stayed within the timeframe we had discussed prior to our wedding. We could not have asked for a better priest to help us tie the knot!

    Great Maharaj for wedding

    Vimal Uncle presided over our wedding and was very easy to work with. He answered every small question we had and made sure that we both understood how the ceremony would run. We scheduled a couple phone calls with him before the big day and had some email exchanges. He was even kind enough to guide us on how to prepare our wedding program. He was great because he speaks English fluently and was easily able to go back and forth between English, Sanskrit, and Gujarati when running the wedding. He's done multiple weddings in our family now, including for two of my inlaws. We would strongly recommend him!

    Great Priest

    Working with Vimal Maharaj leading up to the wedding was smooth and easy. He is a modern priest who was easily accessible but also knowledgeable in leading a traditional ceremony.

    Great officiant!

    Vimal did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! We wanted a traditional Hindu ceremony that was accessible to a Western audience and Vimal definitely hit it out of the park.

    A huge thank you to Priest Vimal for performing a wonderful ceremony for us on our big day! He was very responsive leading up to the ceremony and did an excellent job of translating so that everyone understood what was happening during the entire ceremony. Our ceremony was intimate and it truly felt like each guest was fully engaged and attentive during the ceremony. There were even some humorous moments which our guests loved.

    He was great!! Extremely thorough and open to tailoring our ceremony the way we wanted it to be. He stayed within our time frame (45-55 minutes) and was able to translate everything perfectly so our guests would understand the ceremony. We couldn't have been happier with him. He was also great at returning emails, texts, and phone calls (usually within 15-30 minutes!) very efficient!

    Made the ceremony light and engaging. Was flexible with our needs, helped keep parents from overtaking details, and met frequently to go over details. We felt very lucky to have him for our wedding!

    Hindu-Jewish Fusion Wedding

    It is hard to find a Hindu priest who is able to support a modern fusion ceremony vision like what we had. We wanted a modern Jewish-Hindu fusion ceremony that highlighted the similarities from both traditions but felt authentic/traditional while also keeping to a shorter timeframe (45 mins). Priest Vimal was great in working with our Rabbi to make this happen, and the ceremony was everything we dreamed of plus more.

    Amazing experience!

    We had an incredible experience with Vimalji! He was a real professional from the get-go - we appreciated the frequent communcation and well-organized Zoom calls. When the day happened, we felt well prepared for the entire ceremony. We loved the script he prepared for the ceremony - it was traditional but contained enough explanation and English elements to keep the whole audience engaged. He stuck to his alloted timeslot as well, which we appreciated. We would highly recommend Vimalji for anyone looking for a modern Hindu priest.

    Vimal was very accommodating and willing to work with us to ensure that the rituals we wanted were included while keeping in mind overall timing. He was able to offer his advice and suggestions when we were unsure of details. He was great at explaining to our guests the significance of each ritual which helped make the ceremony more enjoyable and interesting for those who had never attended an Indian wedding before. Overall, great priest if you are looking for someone a bit younger and willing to be flexible with your needs.
