When planning our wedding there was one person, Hameant Rughubir that we felt would help us create a memorable event of our lifetime. He was an outstanding wedding coordinator and helped execute each event o perfection. Hameant is a consummate professional with qualities such as dependability, accountability, and exceptional organizational skills, which set him beyond his peer group. From our initial meeting when we discussed my wedding plans to the day of the wedding itself, he has supported us each step of the way. He was able to work with various vendors in delivering the exact vision we had in mind, specifically focusing on the details that we wanted to highlight at our wedding. All of the services he provided in assistings to host the first Indian wedding at the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort at Bonnet Creek were truly appreciated. Hameant’s commitment and passion for creating magical experiences for individuals looking to host a wedding really motivates us in recommending him as a personal wedding coordinator. We can truly say that our wedding was an experience of a lifetime!

Our wedding ceremony was a dream come through, thanks to Hameant and his team at ShivPriya Events. I had a vision of what I wanted my décor to look like and they brought them to reality. My Mandap was very beautiful decorated with detailed flowers based on my colors and theme. The door
entry Arch was well done and looks beautiful in my pictures and the aisle way was very beautiful also. I am glad I passed this part of my wedding
over to Hameant and his team and is very happy with how everything came out.
Thank you!..

Hameant Raghubir was referred to my husband and I by several friends and family members. He was extremely professional and listened intently to our ideas and budget to create a beautiful wedding and reception. His experience in this industry was evident in his use of decor, vendors and attention to detail. He suggested that we create contrasting looks for the wedding and reception resulting in our guests being awe-struck when the walked into our events. He provided advice for all of our DIY ideas and projects and also grounded us when we attempted to take on too many responsibilities. He made our wedding feel magical and royal. I am beyond impressed with his work. His professionalism and pride in his work speaks volumes as the type of person he is. As a bride, I wanted to have my hand in everything to make sure it was done right. I didn’t have to worry about managing the ShivPriya team as they proved through their meticulous work ethic, with Hameant as their lead, that selecting ShivPriya Events was th best decision made for our wedding. My husband and I will definitely be recommending ShivPriya Events to our friends and family for their major life events in the future.

We would not hesitate a moment if someone asks about the best decision we made as bride’s parents, once marriage date was fixed …..it was getting Hameant on board as a wedding planner. Right from the get go … He made it feel like ….It was all a family affair and at no time it was a mere business for him.
Hameant’s strong qualities are too many to enumerate , but it should be suffice to say that.. We don’t know how we could have pulled off our daughter’s wedding in such a grand manner….without his assistance. 700 guests at The Vinoy Renaissance St Petersburg , a blast for a whole day. Lots of moving parts …..wedding of such a scale went smoothly because of the involvement of Hameant with the minutest details starting from working along with the administration of Vinoy , outside caterers to conduct tasting before contracting them…., decorators, DJ, and everything else. Hameant was there for us any time day or night when we had questions. And he helped us immensely to make our daughter’s greatest day in her life ….a very special one

Working with Hameant and ShivPriya Events Management was one of the best and most important decisions we made for our wedding. We could not imagine trying to coordinate all of the details and organize the wedding of our dreams without Hameant. Hameant made the entire process so much easier and helped to alleviate so much of the anxiety that goes along with wedding planning. After interviewing several wedding planners, it was an easy decision to move forward with Hameant. He is incredibly personable and easy to work with. His prices are fair. He attends to all of your needs. He is prompt and professional. And most importantly, he has extensive knowledge and experience in planning South Asian weddings. Hameant provided us with great recommendations and advice. He was there to help us meet with vendors, negotiate prices, manage contracts, and of course, make sure everything went smoothly during the entire wedding weekend. Having him there made it that much easier to enjoy the wedding experience. We truly enjoyed working with Hameant throughout the process. From start to finish, Hameant was fantastic. He attended to all the major details and minor details, even making sure the mother of the bride had wheelchair assistance on the wedding day. I will also never forget, during the night of the wedding reception at around 3am, the groom was hungry and the hotel was no longer serving food. Hameant made a point to call the neighboring restaurants and somehow got a pizza place to open up and deliver a pizza! We are so happy that we chose Hameant as our wedding planner, and we highly recommend his services to anyone planning a wedding or special occasion! Thank you for everything, Hameant! Sincerely,
Dr. Niloufer and Sameer Kero Kero and Chanda-Vinoy Renaissance St Petersburg
Thank you for all of your hard work during our wedding. We are so pleased with you and your team and everything turned out exactly as we wished. We appreciate all the time you spent with us and we look forward to future partnership

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Shiv Priya Events and its architect Mr. Hameant Raghubir. When my wife & I first met with him in April of 2014 to plan our daughter’s wedding, we were impressed with his mannerism and his knowledge of the functionality of the venue. We had a second meeting in May of 2014, with my daughter and her fiance also in attendance. Just like my wife and I, our daughter and her fiance were impressed with his knowledge, guidance and the ability to connect with people. We signed the contract with Shiv Priya Events immediately thereafter. Hameant has a unique ability to negotiate contracts, especially with the Marriott Hotels. Even though he suggested various vendors and caterers, he respected our choice and worked with us in seamless fashion. I also noted that although he plans many events over the year, his attention to the needs of each client and his energy level is ever constant. He is ably supported by his sons Navinash and Rishi. My recommendation to the people reading this testimonial is to give Hameant and his team of Shiv Priya Events a chance to plan their events, may it be personal or corporate. You will be happy just as the Iyers and Jadejas have been.

Planning a wedding can be a very stressful and exciting time in a couples life. Personally, Sohini and I had certain expectations of a dream-type of wedding that we wanted. But as many know, planning and coordinating an Indian wedding in itself can be a great task. When you add the concept of a destination wedding in Cancun to the concept of a Hindu wedding, it becomes a nightmare. Fortunately for us, Hameant was with us through thick and thin. He streamlined the process from beginning to end. Truthfully at first, we were a little nervous as this was Hameant’s first destination wedding out of the country. However, he came through with flying colors and far surpassed our expectations. Believe us, it is a very demanding task to plan a wedding in another country, especially Mexico, dealing with language and cultural barriers and variable response times. Hameant was very calm, well-organized, and whole-heartedly dedicated throughout the entire process. Additionally, he worked very well with both families and coordinated both sets of families without any tension or misunderstandings. Having said all of this, what blew us away was the actual execution during the events. We were blown away. Also, as bride and groom, we had some very particular visions and ideas and could be difficult to deal with at times; regardless Hameant was understanding and supportive of what we wanted. It’s quite amazing that we just started our planning process with Hameant in mid-December with no destination or resort in mind, and every detail was intricately planned by our wedding in August. It was a big job, but Hameant made it seem like a walk in the park. Hameant, thanks for making our wishes a reality.

Recently Hameant helped me in organizing my son Naveen Bikkasani wedding in Tampa Marriott hotel on August 23rd 2014. He became part of the family in putting the event together making it very elegant with in my budget. I made a phone calls almost every other day and met with him several times in person. Starting from selecting the engagement clothes to both bride and groom to garlands and jasmine flowers to the brides braid. It did not matter to him how odd my request and what time. He is very efficient ,calm and collective at all times with a very engaging smile. His recommendations of vendors were appropriate keeping the customs and beliefs in mind. I cannot say enough good things about him. On the wedding day as an anxious mother ,I could not sleep so I started to text him about the things to be done next day morning, at 2 o’clock in the morning .To my surprise he started responding to my texts at that time ,that is called dedication. I am very happy that I selected Hameant from ShivaPriya Events as my Wedding Planner and Coordinator All my friends who came in contact with Hameant at my events said ,they would have no reservation to hire him in their feature plans
Dr. Aruna Medara-Marriott Waterside Tampa
I wish him good luck in his upcoming events .
Pleasure is ours to have hired you to coordinate the wedding. You were a great help, impossible to think otherwise and You saved our time, money and aggravation.

Your dedication to this project was apparent to us from the first day we let you. We knew from that day that you were the coordinator we wanted for our wedding. We can assure you that this was the best decision we made in this whole process.

We were very impressed with the knowledge you brought to the planning process. We always remembered how you would brainstorm for new ideas to make the wedding plan even better. Your attention to minute details highlights your strive for absolute perfection. We felt that this is why our wedding was perfect in everyway. The feeling of having a competent, meticulous, and trustworthy coordinaton alleviates so much stress involved in these types of events. You allowed us to be carefree and enabled us to enjoy every moment of our wedding. That feeling is truly priceless. We would not hesitate to recommend anyone to you.”

“From the very first contact, I knew Hameant was the Wedding Coordinator that understood me the most. He took the time to speak with me without limits. I just felt so comfortable talking to him because he portrayed empathy, love and just so much care for the wedding and for us the bride and groom. He always put us first no matter what; he listened to our ideas and always gave us excellent advice. He is extremely knowledgeable in etiquette and the dynamics of Wedding planning. Hameant was there for our families as well. He wanted to ensure the family was also having a wonderful time. He always took care of each detail with class and smiles. Hameant made stressful situations and apprehensive moments lighter and he always knew how to make me calm and ultimately focus on the bright side of things.. The wedding was completely flawless in my eyes .” –

Planning an Indian wedding is not a small feat, especially when it is a destination wedding for 250 people. I had many ideas about my wedding and how I wanted it to be. I knew I wanted something unique, a different look for every event……but how was this to be accomplished when I lived states away from where I wanted it to be. This is where Hameant Raghubir, our wonderful Wedding Planner and Coordinator from ShivPriya Events, came into play. I had been to an Orlando Bridal Show where I was not fortunate to meet with Hameant, but I had left my name and number and he gave me a call and introduced himself. From that first phone call I knew he was the one that could make my fairy tale wedding come to life. He was there with us every step of the way….from finding the venue, the decorators, the photographers, the caterers, the florists, he even accompanied me to my makeup and hair trials. I never got the feeling that we were just another client to him he made us feel like family. It was not just the big things that he helped us with, but the little things as well. It was a gujarati wedding, but he helped embody some of the Trinidadian culture into it as well, since my family and I are originally from Trinidad. He arranged having some Trini food for the reception, when I had given up on the idea because I thought we couldn’t find a caterer to do it. The martini luge, the fancy linens, charger plates, the Lucite mandap with Lucite tables, the lights, the floral arrangements, boutinieres for the guys, little orchids placed on the napkin….these were all his ideas on what he thought we should have after I explained my vision to him. He even gave my fiancé the idea to surprise me by having a live steelpan player at the reception and found the guy for him. While he gave us all these ideas, not once did we feel like we had to do what he wanted, we still felt like we had the freedom to say no…and Hameant was open to hearing no, he never pressured us to have it his way. He made sure we had it our way and that we got what we envisioned. After the wedding, we got so many compliments from everyone on each event….so many of our guests told us that it was one of the best weddings they had been too. It turned out that a lot of the things that people loved were all Hameant’s ideas and we were so glad that we chose to go along with it and include his ideas into our wedding. Hameant was very professional, he helped our wedding go off without a hitch. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, not once was I ever stressed, because Hameant had everything under control, Two weeks before the wedding when we were having a final conference call to finalize last minute details, I was reading my Cosmopolitan without a care in the world, because we were ready to have the wedding of our dreams and everything was in place, thanks to the most amazing wedding coordinator there is…Hameant Raghubir. P.S: Note to Hameant: I mean everything I said here….Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a truly memorable wedding weekend. I wanted Shivani to write it from her view…so those are her words with no influence from me or editing!!
The way you took our ideas and combined them with yours was flawless. I never would’ve thought I would become so enthralled with creating the perfect wedding for Shivani and me. I wanted her to have the best wedding possible for her and her family. You truly shared that view of mine. When you went out of your way to find the steelpan player, that really blew me away. You shared HER dreams, and that is what ultimately set you apart in my mind. As our relationship grew, so did our friendship. The conference calls, wedding visits, email strings…actually became…dare I say…FUN! Not only did we have a flawless experience with you, but it was also fun. I cannot stress that part enough. I enjoyed learning your business, history, family, and future plans.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for taking our dreams and making them yours.

“I am so glad we choose Hameant as our wedding planner. I am a very organized person and thought I could plan the wedding by myself but with Hameant’s help the wedding which included four events turned out to be incredible and the execution was flawless. Aside from the execution he became so involved in the wedding that the guests thought he was my friend. He took everything personal and wanted to assure my wife and I enjoyed our special day. Through the process Hameant made sure my wife and I were not stressed out and made sure the 350 plus guests attended each event on time. He helped me with a very important day of my life and if it wasn’t for Hameant, I am sure that day would not have been as special. I recommend his services to everyone and promise you will not regret it.”

ShivPriya events is an excellent event coordinating service in regards to events such as weddings and stuff. Service performance was beyond expectations. Quality service at an affordable price.A job well done. I being the father of the bride would recommend Mr. Hameant Kumar (wedding co-ordinator, and owner of ShivPriya Events) for all your events.
Parasher & Varsha Patel
Hameant is the absolute BEST! We are so happy we chose him to be our wedding planner and day-of coordinator. He was such a blessing!
We were very nervous entering in to the idea of having a destination wedding inOrlando, FL. He reassured us every step of the way and made us feel confidentabout our decision. He pays very close attention to the fine details that often times are overlooked. He was on track with booking all our vendors and was extremely helpful in the planning stages. He kept everything running smoothly the day of the wedding and even brought along three assistantsto help make sure everything was perfect! We recevied so many compliments onhis service and how organized everything came out. He loves what he does and itabsolutely shows through his work. He is a pure delight to work with and I have no reservations recommending him to EVERYONE! I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for us. Our wedding would not have been the same without you, Hameant!”

to a stern reality check, we decided to hire our own personal event guru. Hameant Raghubir from ShivPriya Events, Wedding Planner and Coordinator made the process very enjoyable and relaxing. He planned and coordinated all of the events spanning four days. Most importantly he became a dear friend and support for our family. There were many calaminities on the rise but they were all controlled by our Wedding savior Hameant.

Hameant, Thank you so much for being
such an amazing wedding planner and coordinator. We truly could not have done it without you. Before you came along, we had no idea where to begin. From the venue to the catering, you were really there for it all. No matter how many times minds have changed or decisions were altered, you were very patient and took it all in stride. From the very beginning, you have been very professional and looked after our every need and desire. You were so knowledgeable about all the little nuances that go into a wedding. You took the huge burden of detail off our shoulders and we thank you for that. The wedding turned out so wonderfully and you did a great job managing the vendors on the day of the wedding. We already highly recommend you to anyone who is starting the wedding planning process. If we had to do it all over, we would have still chosen you.

Planning a wedding is a daunting task; planning an Indian wedding is on another level! Being the first one in my family to get married outside of India, my parents and I were clueless on where to begin. With my husband, Kiran, travelling across the country interviewing for residency programs I knew I was going to be left with most, if not all, of the wedding planning- the thought alone was overwhelming!
We wanted to have a traditional, South Indian Brahmin wedding ceremony just like the ones we had attended in Bangalore, but with a little more organization and a little less disarray (sounds impossible, right?). I was fortunate to have met Hameant from ShivPriya Events, at a Bridal Expo about 6 months before the wedding date. My parents had attended a couple of weddings Hameant planned and knew that we would be in good hands…and sure enough we were. Hameant helped us with everything, from negotiating with vendors to keeping me calm- even wedding shopping in India and the States. My family and I built a great relationship with Hameant. Even though the wedding is over, what we have left is a great friendship with Hameant. I highly recommend Hameant as a wedding planner

Planning an Indian wedding is more than a full time job. Luckily, I had my wedding planner, Hameant Raghubir, to help me through the entire process. Hameant is organized, efficient, proactive, professional, and most importantly very responsive. He responded to my texts and emails within a few minutes. His creative ideas added a unique touch to the events. His personable approach made it very easy to communicate on all levels. At the end, I felt like I was working with a close friend rather than a wedding planner.
Hameant went above and beyond his duties to fulfill my dream wedding. I can look back at my planning period and proudly say that hiring hameant was the best and the smartest decision I have made. He made wonderful things happen for us!!
We definitely give Hameant our highest recommendation, and if you are thinking ofhiring a Wedding Coordinator (which you should) then choosing Hameant could be the best decision you make for your wedding too!”

The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Hameant to be our wedding planner. With our wedding location being in Florida and us living in Chicago, not to mention both of us doing our medical residency and working long hours,planning a wedding seemed like an almost impossible task. Looking back, the wedding planning was not only enjoyable but so much easier than we could have ever imagined, and that is solely due to our amazing wedding planner. Our family met Hameant at a bridal expo in Orlando, and because we lived so far away we were only able to talk on the phone and via Skype initially.
We talked to multiple wedding planners before choosing Hameant and it was clear after our first conversation that he would be the best choice for us.
It is obvious that Hameant has a lot of experience in the wedding world, and lots of ideas that we really liked, but in addition, he listened to our vision of what we wanted and was able to contribute unique ideas that added to ours making our wedding absolutely stunning. For example, since our hotel venue was surrounded by water, Hameant suggested for the Baraat that Anil, his family, and friends come in by boat. This idea turned out to be spectacular and all our guests were amazed by his unique entrance. Also, Hameant suggested an ice sculpture to be in the letter A, since both our first names start with A, in which a bartender could pour all the ingredients of a lychee martini (our favorite drink) into and guests could place their glasses at the bottom to receive the drink. This was another guest favorite that also made for incredible pictures! Those are just a few of many great ideas Hameant contributed.
We considered Hameant to be our on call wedding planner because it really seemed like he was available 24/7. Every time we called, emailed or texted him, we always received a very quick reply. were able to come to Tampa, Florida about three times to meet with vendors and Hameant did an excellent job of setting up all of our appointments for the times we were available as well as coming with us to see them. The vendors he suggested were top notch, and we have only the highest praise for the decorator, photographer, caterer, and hair and make-up vendors he recommended. We appreciated that Hameant looked over all our contracts, especially with our hotel venue and negotiated the best deal possible
Working with Hameant, we were very impressed with his work prior to the wedding, but his execution on the weekend of our wedding was unbelievable.Our whole wedding weekend was flawless and the schedule of events went smoothly and on time. Afterwards, we got so many compliments from our guests about how fun, beautiful and perfect our wedding was. Many guests even said that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Hameant is very professional, yet so easy to work with, and not only did he help create our dream wedding, but he became a friend we know we will keep in touch with for life.
