What Clients Are Saying

We hired SitarBug to perform at the cocktail hour of our wedding reception, and it was the perfect decision that elevated our entire celebration. Their soulful sitar melodies and world-fusion rhythms wove seamlessly through the air, creating an enchanting atmosphere that had our guests mesmerized from the first note. SitarBug didn't just play; they added a layer of cultural elegance and heartfelt energy that made our special day feel truly one-of-a-kind. If you're dreaming of a reception that lingers in everyone's hearts, book them now.

I am beyond grateful to Vatsal Dave for the amazing sitar, tabla and flute performance at my daughter's sangeet, held at a private residence. Their 2-hour Indian classical concert brought back memories of home in India and introduced the beauty of the Sitar to all the musicians attending, including our son-in-law. Vatsal also sang a popular Sufi song and his son sang and played guitar. I am so glad they could perform on fairly short notice. Forever grateful!

Nestled in the colorful hills of Oaxaca, our wedding was a dream of tradition and celebration until SitarBug took the stage during our sunset ceremony. Their masterful sitar performance blended ancient Indian ragas with the soulful rhythms of our Mexican roots. Guests from both sides of the family were spellbound, swaying to melodies that evoked the magic of Monte Alban under the stars. For any couple seeking a cross-cultural crescendo, SitarBug is your secret ingredient.

Although Vatsal Dave is a highly accomplished North Indian classical sitarist, he is more than that — a truly versatile and creative musician. As a flautist, I had the honor to play with him and his team in tens of wedding songs and folk music programs; it was both inspiring and fulfilling. I urge all lovers and students of Indian classical music to refer to his unique book 'Sitar 101' to understand the fundamentals of Indian music.

An unforgettable sitar performance — thank you, Vatsal Dave! He played the sitar at my daughter's wedding in January 2026 at the beautiful Union Station venue, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Having live sitar at a wedding is such a unique idea here in the USA; we wanted a traditional, soulful touch and Mr. Dave brought that vision to life perfectly. Our guests are still talking about it. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to add elegance and culture to their special event.

It was an extremely enjoyable and classic performance by Vatsal — methodical and appropriately accompanied by a well-trained tabla player. Very powerful performance indeed.

I have heard Vatsal multiple times. He comes with an excellent group of people. Long ago, my daughter contacted him regarding a music performance at a Diwali function in a private school, and he was able to help us out by sending his students.

I had the pleasure of taking raga classes with Sri Vatsal Ji after already learning some basics elsewhere. My desire to learn and his deep passion for sitar music turned out to be an incredible match. The in-person, one-on-one training helped me understand not just raga, but something beyond music. If you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I highly recommend taking a class with him — even if you do not have a sitar.
