Reviews of Tamilla Thomas-The Violin Expert

Hi Tamilla,

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful day your music helped create.

It was such a dream to have you play for us!

Thank you and hoping to be able to hire you in future for the family events.

We were very fortunate and grateful to have had Tamilla play for us at our wedding. She was a delight, keeping everyone entertained and ensuring the atmosphere remained joyful.

Tamilla was constantly in touch whilst we were planning the big day and went out of her way to learn new songs just for us and even surprised us by playing our first dance.

She was an absolute angle and didn't stop playing untill the very end.

We would highly recommend Tamilla to everyone and give her 10/10

That was amazing, thank you so much. Everybody commented on how lovely you played and how perfect it was with you there.

Thank you Tamilla.
So much.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you, the music was amazing and Jake’ parents were so thrilled to hear live music again.

All the best,
Abi

Hi Tamilla,

It honestly made the church lively.

Thank you once again.

We asked Tamilla to play for our guests at our wedding during the drinks reception and she played beautifully. We left the choice of music up to her, and it was perfect for the occasion. We had so many compliments from our guests who thought Tamilla’s playing added a lovely atmosphere.

We would highly recommend Tamilla for any occasion. She always responded promptly to our queries, liaised with the venue about insurance and was just lovely to deal with. Thank you Tamilla!

George and Karon Adamson

Tamilla was excellent to deal with from start to finish. We talked at length about the different styles of music we wanted, from classical pieces to reggae and hip hop. Despite her busy schedule, Tamilla was able to research and was able to provide exactly what we asked for and never made me feel that I was asking too much.

We are still receiving comments about how brilliant she was and how the violin gave everyone that skin tingle and added drama and luxury at exactly the right moments.

I have already recommended Tamilla to another couple who are due to marry at Cripps Barn and can say with confidence they will love it too! Thank you SO much Tamilla. 10/10!!!

Just to say everyone enjoyed your music, it was absolutely wonderful!
Once again you were excellent and thank you.

Best wishes
Brian

Tamilla, thank you so much for playing at our wedding, everyone was so impressed with you and your choice of music!
My guests were even talking about you the next day. You should definitely do a cd, we would love to keep it, as I am sure many people would after the wedding! Thanks again x

Tamilla player at our wedding ceremony and the drink reception and made the day absolutely unforgettable! All our guests were delighted!

I organise the Marshfield Christmas Ball, a local fundraiser for a community centre. I found Tamilla online and managed to book her to play at the beginning of the evening as guests arrived. Tamilla not only played beautifully and added a wonderful touch of class to the event but also made my life as an organiser much easier. Tamilla is professional, reliable and self sufficient. I did not need to get bogged down in any detail and Tamilla used her expertise to play to the crowd. Thank you so much Tamilla, you are a star!

I contacted Tamilla through lastminutemusicians and watched her demo video. I was really impressed with her talent and the repertoire or music she could play on the violin, in particular Bollywood songs. I have never heard anyone play Bollywood songs on a violin, so I was intrigued by her uniqueness. It was very easy for me to communicate with Tamilla via email and she was very easy going and allowed for music changes frequently. On the day, my guests loved listening to the wide variety of music she played and a lot of them noticed some of the Bollywood songs, which were amazing! I can not recommend her enough for any wedding, whether it be English or Indian.

Tamilla was excellent on our wedding day, playing both the ceremony and the period afterwards. She prepared fantastic violin covers of two songs and her role in providing her experience to assist in the coordination of the ceremony was fantastic.

Tamilla,

Thank you so much for your marvellous presence at our wedding ceremony. Your music was simply beautiful. Thank you for playing all the songs we asked for, you helped make the ceremony so atmospheric, magical and unforgettable. We are so glad we asked you to play for us, many of our guests said how special the music was.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for my brothers funeral- it was beautiful and I couldn’t of asked for a better violinist ✨ it added a personal touch to my brothers funeral, he would be proud ✨ everyone said how amazing you played and I received a lot of positive feedback ✨

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your beautiful playing at our ceremony-we were so happy as was everyone else with your music - i will highly recommend you and keep your details for future events.
many thanks again
Alison and Chris

We were Blessed the day we found Tamilla, The Violin Expert and more so when she agreed to play at our wedding. Honest to goodness, there was not a dry eye in the house when I walked down the aisle to the sound of “Bailero”. Everyone commented on how having a “Live” Violinist at our wedding made it a more memorable and enjoyable occasion. Tamilla then continued to play for our guests with a repertoire of mixed Genres which included Classical, Rock, POP and Crossover. PersonallyI could have sat and listened to Tamilla play all day and can not recommend her enough! Thank You so Much Tamilla, I’ll never forget your Virtuosity! ❤️

Tamilla,
you were great!
Thank you so much.
Sonia

Tamilla performed at our wedding at Rococo Gardens at the beginning of September. She played a mixture of classical music for the ceremony in the grounds and then some more upbeat well-known songs with the aid of backing tracks for our afternoon tea reception. Not only is she an extremely talented musician, but she is a really lovely and well-organised. She was quick to respond to all our queries and questions! I would highly recommend Tamilla, her musical performances add the perfect accompaniment to any sort of celebration! Thank you Tamilla!

Hi Tamilla,
Honestly, we couldn’t thank you enough. You sounded amazing, that’s what made me tearful as I walked down.

Lots and lots of people asked who you were - so I passed on your name!!
Thank you so much,
Isabella

Hey Tamilla. Thank you so much for playing at our engagement party. You were absolutely perfect. Everyone enjoyed the song selection and the beautiful execution. The Bollywood tracks were a real attraction for the guests. Really appreciate it and hope we see you again soon. God bless.

Morning Tamilla,
Thank you so much for playing such beautiful music at our party. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your performance .
Regards
Baboo

Thank you so much Tamilla for the perfect music on my wedding day. I gave you a song not on your listing and you played it perfectly. Im so glad I had Tamilla as part of my special day and would highly recommend her.

Tamilla played the violin for our wedding ceremony and reception, the ambience this created was really incredible and for us made our wedding extra special. Tamilla was a real help with song choices and created a fabulous atmosphere for all our guests to enjoy at our canapé reception. Tamilla we cannot thank you enough for sharing your exceptional talent with us and our guests on the best day of our life - we feel very lucky to have had you as part of the day.
We can honestly say that choosing live music for a wedding creates a breathtaking ambience and memories to treasure. Thank you from us both and all our guests who only had lovely compliments.

All the best
Mark & Rachel

Dear Tamilla,

I just wanted to thank you before we go on our honeymoon for your brilliant performance at our wedding. I have just watched a video of me, my dad and bridesmaids walking down the aisle and the music makes it perfect! So many people commented how wonderful it sounded. A huge thank you from both Richard and I. My only regret is I could not say thank you in person as the day whizzed by and before I knew it we were sitting down for dinner!

Tamilla played at our wedding on the 13th July 2019 and was fantastic. All our guest loved her and my grandparents especially loved "moon river" which I asked Tamilla to play whilst we signed the register. I loved her sound from the first moment I heard her play "a thousand years" on her website, I thought it was so beautiful and she certainly did not disappoint on the day. Absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks again!
Hannah and James

Tamilla is a true professional. She is very good at what she does and is able to play a good range of songs which she plays beautifully. She played for us during our church service and had a good sense of humour when she had to play my walking down the aisle song 4 times! We would highly recommend Tamilla, thank you so much!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for our wedding day on the 14th, you were incredible!
I cannot even hear the start of you playing on videos and I’m in tears!
So sorry we didn’t get chance to come and speak to you and give you our thanks in person.
You are an incredible musician and you really made our ceremony what it was.

Once again thank you.

Paul & Claire Latham

Your violin playing was just fantastic. It really made the atmosphere! We had loads of friends coment how great it was. Thanks again
Terry and Tracy

Hi Tamilla, thank you so much for traveling to Wales and playing at our party. It’s been wonderful to have such a great selection of music. Everyone loved it.

Dear Tamilla,

A belated thank you for your beautiful playing at the retirement party on 28th June. There were many people who commented on your music which was much enjoyed and appreciated. Your repertoire is excellent.

With best wishes.

John.

I never got the chance to Thank you and tell how brilliant you were, everyone really enjoyed it and we are so grateful!

Tamilla was absolutely amazing!!!

Her music was beautiful and everyone commented on how beautiful it was!

Thankyou for making my dream become a reality with the music you put together for my wedding ceremony

Tamilla provided an absolute delightful accompaniment to our wedding. She played during the ceremony itself and then provided the background music to our champagne reception which was an outdoor event, set in the beautiful gardens of a Cotswold hotel on a gloriously warm afternoon. She reflected our requests and the joyous mood of the occasion perfectly and there is no doubt that her presence enhanced the occasion.

Tamilla's approach during the lead up to the event and on the day itself was professional and supportive.

I have no problem in recommending her to other couples or for other events.

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You helped to make our day absolutely perfect. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was to have not only your music during the ceremony but also after. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, thank you.
Also to say thank you in making the whole planning and logistics of the day so simple. You put my mind at rest the entire time during both the planning and the actual day and made it all so easy.

Tamilla delighted and entertained our residents with an eclectic range of music to suit all tastes, some of our residents even danced along! I would be happy to recommend the very talented Tamilla to anyone

Tamilla has been great from the first point of contact, She fully explained her process and always double checked our preferences. I trusted her fully and gave full rein on what she wanted to play on our special day .
When we arrived at the venue and heard Tamilla playing it set the mood and gave everyone a smile! When she plays it’s just beautiful! Fully recommend her and can’t wait for a occasion I can use her again!

Hi Tamilla, I wanted to talk to you after the ceremony yesterday but it was a bit hectic! Thank you so much for playing so beautifully! Every one of the guests has commented on how amazing the music was ❤️ I wish I could have heard you play more. What I heard was beautiful! Thanks again! Jamie x

Thank you so much for yesterday. Everyone was commenting how good you were and loved all the greatest showman pieces. Really nice to meet you and thanks for making our day special. Lots of love Marcus and Jade x

Dear Tamilla,

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your wonderful performances yesterday at my dear mother’s funeral. It was even more beautiful and touching than I had imagined, thanks to you.

Dear Tamilla, thank you again for playing such a personal music for our ceremony. Taya

Would like to say a big thank you for yesterday, everyone love it!
I have some photos and will be sending to you... thank you again!

Dear Tamilla, thank you so much for your wonderful playing yesterday. Everyone thought you were brilliant and were paying you compliments at the after party. Many many thanks for making the ceremony very special! Best wishes Lou

Dear Tamilla, just a quick email to say how much we appreciated your help with music choices and your amazing performance on the day. You made it all look and feel very special. Thank you, Elaine

Dear Tamilla

Thank you so much for the wonderful music and making our day so special. Your rendition of Shostakovich’ Waltz was just what we expected and hoped for. Everybody commented how brilliant you were.

It was a delight to have Tamilla perform at our wedding ceremony. We used her expertise to help chose the music. Her sensitive interpretation added a touch of romance to a deeply personal occasion.

Dear Tamilla, thank you so much for playing at our ceremony. A million love songs sounded exactly how we imagined. You made our day a unique and unforgettable experience. Louise and David

It was an amazing experience when the violin sound entered that magnificent room in Marriot Swan! It was absolutely magical, I am so glad we chose to go with you, you made it a marvelous experience. Thanks again.

Tamilla played a song I have asked in the middle of Bristol in the evening after dark, just to help me with making my proposal to my girlfriend a very special surprise. She was brilliant and my girlfriend was very impressed. Thank you!

Tamilla played at my daughter’s wedding ceremony and drink reception. She is such an amazing violinist and a very professional and nice person. When I asked her spontaneously if she could stay longer to settle us all in a wedding breakfast hall she was only too glad to accomodate. Service was perfect and the sound of her violin made the day!

Tamilla was brilliant, and played such contemporary songs with such guato, that we could not only recognise them, but wanted to dance to them too. Guests were all commenting how special she made the day!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your incredible playing on Saturday. Everyone said how amazing you were and thebregistrars were very complimentary. They told me how wonderful your playing was before I even heard you myself. You made our ceremony really special and we can’t thank you enough. Natalie and George.

Thank you again for your fantastic performance at the church on the 13th. Best wishes, Joe

Thank you very much for performing at our wedding ceremony. All our guests said how lovely you were at performing.

We’ve just been back from a couple of days ago, and we wanted to thank you for playing some lovely pieces. We got a lot of compliments from our guests as well, so it seems you pleased us all. Bach’a Air suite 3 will never be the same again for us ;)

Laura and I wanted to say thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding reception last Saturday. We had a lovely day and you helped to make it special.

We wanted to drop a quick line to thank our most talented violinist Tamilla, and to say we would recommend her to any of our friends. We have arranged our wedding from Australia, and everything went so smooth and beautiful, thank you again. Edward and Pooja

Thank you for such a beautiful experience. I loved The Godfather music. Our guests were commenting on your playing after the wedding was over. You made our day very special.

Tamilla’s rendition of The Godfather was the icing on the cake at our wedding in Italy. We would recommend her to anyone for that extra touch for their special occasion. Magnifico!

Absolutely fantastic, made our wedding day so special! Very talented and wonderful. She is playing on our friends wedding this year, guests loved her so much!

Tamilla was absolutely amazing be on the day of our wedding, such a lovely last with an amazing talent playing the violin, we were so pleased to have found her and booked her for our wedding. Tamilla played at the church and then afterwards at our chosen venue. The guests enjoyed her as much as me and hubby did :)

We booked Tamilla for our daughter’s wedding in september 2016. We found Tamilla extremely easy to work with, professional and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her.

Beat violin player in the area! Went an extra mile to accommodate my request to make a surprise proposal to my girlfriend at a time. She was absolutely amazed and thrilled, and said yes!

Tamilla played at our wedding and she was brilliant! Not only is she an extremely capable musician, but she is a really nice, well-organised, and kind person. She devised a set list- a mixture of contemporary and classical-and played in such a special way as to make everyone feel special.

Tamilla was wonderful at our wedding whilst walking down the isle and after , during canapés.

Tamilla is an amazing artist and person. Tamilla was prepared to learn some new tunes for our wedding to make our day unique to myself and my wife. Nothing seemed impossible and she was willing to go that extra mile means the world to us. We had used Tamilla for our church ceremony she played many tunes that we selected and delivered an amazing set. Her customer service was superb and she was a delight to work with. Our guests loved her so did we. A definite recommendation to anyone looking for a violinist with great skills and service.

Tamilla gave an excellent performance at our wedding. The piece of music we requested was very unusual ( November rain by Guns n Roses) and she had never performed it before but she devised her own version of it and did a great job. All of the wedding guests ( and ourselves) were very impressed. She also dealt with us in a highly professional yet friendly and open way.

Tamilla played our wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. She was really pleasant to work with and very attentive to our requests. She even learnt Humko Humise chura lo, an Indian song from a Bollywood film I wanted as my entrance music. I highly recommend

I initially heard Tamilla at a friends wedding and thought wow, she sounds amazing. So when I started to plan my wedding I knew I wanted Tamilla to play music for us. I contacted Tamilla and she was very helpful, even suggested music and giving advice. We would highly recommend Tamilla

Tamilla played at our wedding and was fantastic. We mostly chose songs from her repertoire but we did also have a few requests for her to play modern songs that weren't listed including a very obscure song from the Final Fantasy XX game. Somehow she managed to find a backing track and played the song beautifully during our register signing. The only reason we haven't given 10 stars is because we had a couple of little hiccoughs earlier in the year regarding a mix up with contracts/deposits and slow communication the month before the wedding (although this was because of health issues with Tamilla's family so was just bad luck on our part timing-wise). Otherwise, we would certainly recommend Tamilla as she's an amazing violinist and comes at a fair price.
