I just talked to my friend who said that she's pretty sure this is the same DJ Sharad and that he's one of the best...there's also DJ Ladla.

Forgot to mention that Santoor in Glen Oaks also has great food. We order from them all the time for family/holiday parties.
Not sure if they have any deals w/ wedding halls though.

When you book Sharad, you dont always get Sharad himself, you may get one of his associates, so get that clear w/ him. Ive heard good things bout him and have been to events he's done-hes good. But Im sure there are others out there, if I hear of anyone I will post.

ETS: Ive also heard Tandoor's food is good, my SIL had that for her wedding and they were happy with it, but that was a few years ago.

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

I used an Indian person for my girls hair.
I paid for all the girls to have their hair done (updos) at $25 each only!! They all had long hair (halfway down their back or to their waist). I found this Indian woman who came to the hotel at 5:30am and did their hair. For the girls who had their hair down to their waist she charged $35. Her name is Archita.

The girls did their own makeup since they were all pretty decent at it.

Archita Upadhyaya
Holtsville, NY
631 207 3475

I used Oksana for my makeup and Hair Genie for my hair.

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Help! I am getting married in NJ and I need to find someone to do my hair, makeup, and help me put on my sari and lengha.

I am willing to travel to a salon in the morning to do my hair and makeup b/c my wedding only starts at 3, but after the wedding I would need someone to come to my hall to redo my hair and just touch up my makeup.
But most importantly I need someone to put on my outfits for me.

Do you guys know anyone in NJ?

TIA!
