Ratings & Reviews for Religious Services
Paragbhai Dave did a great job performing my daughter's destination wedding in April 2016 at Playa Del Carmen!
Paragbhai Dave was very good preist at my daughter's wedding in Mexico. He is very knowledgeable young priest did good job to my daughter Shivani's wedding
Thank you very much dear Paragbhai for coming all the way to Italy for this special occasion. We are so honored to have you for performing our wedding.
Paragbhai Dave officiated the wedding for my son and daughter-in-law at San Miguel de Allende in April 2022. We were very pleased with his easy-going approach, adaptability ( we wanted to incorporate some jain ceremony steps and he did those so well along with the traditional Hindu ceremony) his patience in explaining to the bride and groom - all the steps in detail and his pleasing personality. It was wonderful to work with him through the entire process. I would highly recommend him.
Paragbhai did our wedding ceremony this past year and we could not be happier with how it turned out. We wanted to keep our ceremony short and sweet as we were on a tight schedule and Parag made that happen. It helped that he was fluent in Gujarati and English. Paragbhai explained very nicely that our guests knew what was going on throughout the whole ceremony and they enjoyed that it was not painfully long. Thank you very much Paragbhai for your great service!
