Shobha is purely and simply incredible. She gave the most beautifully heartfelt ceremony I (and many of our family and friends) have every witnessed. It was so personal that nearly all of the people attending thought that I had known her since she was a child. She truly does a ton of research and incorporates so many personal elements to the ceremony....she is completely at ease in front of large crowds and has an uncanny ability to connect with people attending but also make the bride and groom (us) feel like we're the only ones in the room. She is always smiling and was one of the people I most enjoyed working with for my wedding. I will truly miss her and only hope she will officiate at my friends' weddings so I can see her ceremony as a guest!

From the very first day we hired Rev Shobha Hughes, I felt comfortable my wedding was going to go perfect. She walked me through the ceremony and what was needed from the very beginning. she was always there when I called and always made us feel very comfortable. My wedding ceremony was perfect thanks to Reverend Shobha Hughes

Shobha made the ceremony such a beautiful event. Everyone loved the ceremony, including us. She is very wise and takes control of the planning, making it one less thing to worry about. Not only is she great at what she does, but she is very sweet and lovable.

Shobha was absolutely amazing as our officiant. She was warm and welcoming and kind from our first meeting until our wedding day. She helped as we attempted to write our own vows and she truly made our ceremony something that both we and our guests LOVED being a part of. She knew we wanted to do a handfasting ceremony (a celtic tradition) and she made it happen just as we had hoped. It was beautiful. The personal touches she added to our ceremony, including adding the Seven Blessings where she threw rose petals on each of us was just wonderful. She is the best out there and any brides/grooms looking for the perfect officiant will certainly be beyond thrilled with Rev. Shobha! Thank you so much!!!!

Reverend Shobha Hughes came into our lives as we were issuing our wedding license and had 36 hours to plan our elopement on Easter Sunday. We emailed her from the Marriage Bureau and having read all the wonderful reviews about her we were certain that she would not be available. Ten minutes later she called us! We had no difficulty arranging the time although it was such short notice and had a thorough conversation about ourselves and how we wanted our ceremony to be. She gave us ideas for vows and inspiration and courage to carry on until the big day. As we had very little time to prepare Reverend Shobha, determined to initiate a memorable ceremony, took the initiative to read about our ethnic backgrounds and incorporated elements thereof to the ceremony. It was a touching surprise. She officiated our marriage with respect, warmth and a deep sense of responsibility. Our vows, based on her suggestions and enriched by ourselves, brought tears to our eyes. A true interfaith minister, she has accrued wisdom that she transmits in the most discrete way. Following our wedding and as we live oversees she kept us updated on the progress of our marriage certificate with care. We are blessed to have been married by Reverend Shobha on that sunny Easter Sunday.
