Worst worst worst experience!
We got married on 4th Dec in La Cabana, booked Jignesh Ji due to his high ratings months before our wedding and he did not show up at the wedding day!

So we started our discussions with him in June and also payed him advance as requested by him. We were in constant touch with him and even my mother in law have had discussions with him regarding the rituals and requirements. He assured us that he is the best in his service and explained us how we will be progressing our rituals and how he will make it all interactive for the guests.

Cut to our wedding day, 4th of Dec, without even informing us he sent some different Pandit Ji, we felt clueless and helpless as we saw him on the mandap directly after our entries and hence decided to proceed with him without much questions asked, that substitute pandit knew no rituals, he skipped the basic things such as applying haldi on my hands during kanyadaan, when we asked him he said and I quote “han apko jo aur karne ka mann hai apne hisaab se kar lo”. He was reading out 7 vows from google and he forgot to read the bride’s vows. It felt like he just saw some youtube video on how to do a wedding came straight to our wedding. And the irony is he took full payment from us.

After our wedding we talked to Jignesh Pandit ji, he said he was not well and sent some one else.

So many problems here:
1. He did inform us in advance
2. Even if he sent someone else he should have tried to match atleast some quality and standards.

This unprofessional behaviour is not acceptable especially in wedding and especially with Pandit ji. My in-laws are Brahmans as we had to fave a lot of backlash from the relatives. Everybody was questioning his actions.

As a compensation we asked him for some refund as we booked him for 21k and the pandit ji he sent wasn't worth 5k. He agreed to pay the refund. He picked our call for one or two times after wedding and then stopped responding. So nothing but hard feelings as the moment wont come again. 🥹

So please guys, before booking him make sure you do end up in a situation like us.

We have booked Mr Jignesh Pandya for our wedding after my parents had words with him and finalise him for the wedding.
On 4th december we have our varmala and phere for which i booked Mr Jignesh Pandya paid 25000 for the same,when we reach on stage after baraat i was unaware who came as Pandit because Mr Jignesh didn’t show up and send some other Pandit to our wedding without informing us. The new pandit who came to our wedding was literally an inexperienced person he really don’t know what mantras to be chant during varmala my Tauji took mike from him and he chanted than during Phere he didn’t followed lots of Rituals which my parents have pointed out and he said haan if you want to do you can do that .He also said instead of 7 janam ka sath 7 saal ka sath .Literally we have spent lakhs on our wedding and hired the best pandit by seeing review on wedding wire but it was a nighmare.
Mr Jignesh might be knowlegable but he is not at all professional . I have attached my conversation screenshot here with him and he really accepted the mistake and agreed for the refund but suddenly he ghosted us .My main concern is if he has taken up the project you cannot send someone else its wedding rituals 100’s of guest are there .It was literally a joke what he did to us on our one of the most important day.

If you are looking for a panditji who can officiate weddings and perform pujas with utmost dedication, while also keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging, Mr. Jignesh Pandya is the perfect choice. Trust him to make your special occasions even more memorable and meaningful in Goa.

Pandit Jigneshji performed Nandi puja and Bengali wedding on 6 & 7th April 2023. He did everything as per rituals in a concise yet perfect manner. He made all the arrangements for both the events himself and we did not have to worry about anything. He is very well learned and not only performed the pujas but also explained us the meaning of the rituals that were being performed in a very simple language and with relevance to the modern world. Even the veterans of our wedding party with lots of experience in wedding rituals praised him heartily for his unique take on the events and joyful nature. My husband (the groom) and I (the bride) very happy and satisfied to have hired him for our wedding recommend him highly.

Genuine. Had a great experience with him.

The best part of the wedding was our pandit ji. Everyone loved the way he organised the wedding rituals. Highly appreciated.

We are immensely grateful to Jignesh Pandya Ji for officiating our wedding. His relaxed and friendly approach made our special day stress-free and joyous. He wonderfully engaged our guests of all ages, explaining the rituals in a way that was both enlightening and relatable. His ability to blend tradition with a modern touch was truly appreciated by everyone. Thank you, Jignesh Ji for making our wedding ceremony not just a ritual, but a memorable celebration of love.

He is doing very knowledgeable and nicely handled the situation.

Jignesh pandit ji did our wedding puja at Planet Hollywood on 5th Dec 2021 and we were really happy with his service. Got his contact from a family friend as he did a wedding for them 2 years back and they were really happy with his work. Pandit ji came to the venue on time and managed to finish the wedding exactly on time even though we started it a bit late. The puja was exactly the way my mom wanted and he added a couple of jokes in between to keep everyone involved. Great experience overall.
