"Shama what an amazing evening we all had and the music, live singing, lighting and Dj all were excellent. Even our guests and the venue manager could not recognise their own hall. It looked like a banquet hall,  amazing and thank you Shama for organising me such a beautiful package for us."

"We just wanted to say a big thank you to you, your arranger and your performers for making our special day truly memorable. The trio played beautifully and everyone we spoke to commented on how perfect they made the ceremony. :-D Especially thanks for taking the time to plan out my custom tracks, I was nearly tearing up when vicki came down the aisle to the music we chose. ;-) "

"Palatine quartet were absolutely brilliant, they responded quickly to an inquiry we made, were happy to learn a new piece for my wife to walk down the aisle to, punctual and professional, our guests absolutely loved them! We had their music played from the service until we sat down for the meal and it was so nice to have in the background while everyone was milling around on the lawn! I would 100% recommend for your special day, amazing musicians that added a real touch of class to out big day! Thank you Rachel and everyone else ?"

"Marie-France was fantastic and booking through LMM couldn’t have been easier. Marie-France played at my daughter’s wedding on 7th April - having the opportunity to meet with her prior to the big day to listen to her play and to chat over music choices really helped my daughter and son-in-law. Marie-France’s playing then was so beautiful it made me cry and we have had the loveliest of comments from the wedding guests about the contribution that Marie-France’s playing made to the ‘feel’ of the day and the range of music. I would happily recommend Marie-France to anyone landing their weeding."

"A HUGE thank you for being part of our special day at Goodwood House. You guys were absolutely amazing and so many guests complimented me on how brilliant you sounded! I would really recommend you to anyone looking for a sting trio/quartet for any occasion. Although I didn't get to hear you for the whole day, as soon as I started walking up the aisle and heard you play, I knew I made the right choice in booking you. Many thanks again! Excellent job! "

"Testimonials The 515 crew led by the talented Shama, brilliantly supported by the evergreen Chirag & great entertainer Nimesh were awesome on 5th May at City Pavilion. We had Shama & her crew for the Engagement party where we had the best trio in music industry - Shama, Chirag & Nimesh play some superb tracks. Whether it is a mehfil or dance settings the talented group always excel with superb sing-along melodies. We have seen Shama & her crew perform so many times & every time they raise the bar with brilliant performances. The amazing thing is that each show is unique & diverse with all songs suited to the audience. Shama’s great versatility in arranging shows & entertaining the audience all year round with her sought after group gives us all an opportunity to enjoy music at its best- no matter what the occasion. Keep it up Shama & 515 crew. Thank you for entertaining us all music lovers. Best wishes - Praful & Kalpna Lakhani, City Pavilion, May 2019 Lot of feedback we received and everyone enjoyed the music a lot on 2nd August at The Hive. So did the families and all close relatives and friends. Thanks a lot for great performance and superb time, to you and the band. - Pradip & Jayshree, The Hive, London, August 2018 Having met Shama and the 515 Crew at a couple of events I photographed over he last 2 years, it was without question that we would be using them whenever we had a family event. Last weekend, my brother and I threw our parents a surprise 65th birthday party and I was super excited to have secured a booking for this auspicious occasion with the 515 crew and they most certainly didn’t disappoint!!! They arrived promptly to setup and worked within the limited space we had at our venue without any complaints. I asked Shama if the group would be able to play a handful of my dads favourite songs from the 70’s and 80’s era including Santana, Wilson Picket and James Brown and although it was material that they hadn’t done before, they took time to rehearse in the week and surprised us with their amazing delivery on the main night. My dad and guests were over the moon! I’ve had nothing but positive comments from our guests on the 515 Crew’s super professional musical ability and singing. Their Indian songs took our guests back into time and found it refreshing to hear some of the old bollywood songs with a modern and current feel. I really cannot express how delighted myself, my parents and our guests are with the 515 Crew. I dealt with Shama from the initial phone call to check on the teams availability and she’s always been a pleasure to deal with including on the night itself. I most certainly will be using them when we have another event and will be recommending them to my clients too! I genuinly thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Kam Parmar (Kreative Klicks Photography), Unity Hall, Barton, July 2018 ​ We wanted to personally thank you for a wonderful evening on Saturday! Everyone enjoyed your songs and had a great time! Thank you also for getting Sanjay out of his shell and onto the dance floor! Best wishes - Dipika and Sanjay, Venue 260, Luton, April 2018 ' We write to say Thank You for the entertainment at our charity event. Professional, versatile and with an extremely diverse repetoire, the music was enjoyed by all. Your music embodies character, emotion and power. You started the event on a strong note and, critically, ended on an even stronger note. You were able to exceed our requirements with finesse. I will be booking you again in the near future and would not hesitate to recommend the band to anybody enquiring. It was impressive how professional, you, Chirag and all the band have been from start to finish. We thank you again and hope you enjoyed performing for us as much as we enjoyed dancing for you!' With all best wishes, - Ladva Family, Campion School, Hornchurch, November 2017 ​ We had an absolutely amazing time and all the credit goes to you and the crew for your fantastic performance. It was a pleasure to listen to all those golden oldies and even more enjoyable to dance to them. You all kept the dance floor rocking and engaged and made it all so personal too. After all these years you are still the best. Everyone still talking about the great time they had. Thank you so much! - Darshana Parekh, St. John's Hotel, Solihull, August 2017 Just wanted to thank you again for last night it was a phenomenal performance despite the technological issues with the hall, everyone had an amazing time and couldn't stop raving about you! Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team. You all rock! - Krishna Radia, Ladywood Estate, August 2017 Thank you so much to you and 515 for providing such fantastic entertainment during my mendhi night on Fri 21 July at Sattavis Patidar in Wembley. Each and every guest was so complimentary of you. Everyone commented on how engaging the band was. They loved the part where you asked me to join you for a song (although I'm fairly sure it was you they enjoyed!). My family from Chicago and St Louis was so impressed, they literally could not stop praising you. Apparently the talent in the US is not the same! We made the right choice when we selected you and your band. You guys are worth every penny. I would recommend you without any hesitation whatsoever. Wish you all the best going forward. - Nisha Patel, Sattavis Patidar Wembley, July 2017 I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big "Thank You" for the performance at our Dinner & Music Night on 22nd October in Woking to celebrate my wedding to Nashita!! You and the band were brilliant, everyone had a great time and they all keep telling us that the night was so much fun. I personally also want to say that you guys were more entertaining than I could have imagined. The choice of song you picked out for our 'first dance' was excellent as it really is one of my favourite songs! :) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. I hope that we can see you and the band perform again some time in the future. Once again, from myself, Mum and Nashita, thank you for making our night special. - Chandresh Pankhania, The Lord Roberts Centre, Woking, Oct 2016 ​ Just wanted to say an absolutely massive thank you to you, the band and the DJ for yesterday. You guys all nailed it! I want to just re-live the night again to hear you guys. You really were fantastic and every time we see you I'm sure you all just get better and better! Still can't believe how many people you got up dancing between starters and mains, no one wanted to eat! Haha. I've heard only good things already about you guys and especially how you catered for everyones different genres and generations! It was great, so truly a big thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts. - Sundeep & Shivani Kapur , Ditton Manor, Oct 2016 ​ Thank you so much to you and your 515 crew for the stellar performance yesterday ! You guys rocked the house down for the older and younger generation! I loved your style, versatility in music to meet the needs of the audience. Thank you so much! Everyone enjoyed the party and the positive comments are still streaming through! I hopefully will see you again at the Lohana party. Shama your personality is infectious! All- I highly recommend these musicians! Totally awesome! - Mayuri Gandesha"

"From the first contact, Warwickshire Strings were great. I loved listening to the selections they had of the pieces they played on their website and the amount of songs they were able to play was incredible. Rachel was always at hand for advice. In the emotion of the day I can't actually remember walking down the aisle, but thankfully I have been able to watch a video of it. The quartet were fabulous and looking back I can see all the guests admiring the music too. I have had numerous comments from guests about how good the music was during the ceremony and the drinks reception. Thank you so much for being part of my day! "

"Hi, just a quick email to say a big big thank you for performing at our wedding last Sunday (29th May 2016) at Carberry tower. Although I missed the majority of you playing before the ceremony (sorry for being so late!!) we have had lots of guests saying how fantastic you were. And thank you for playing outside for us (who would have thought the weather would be so amazing!). If there is anywhere to write you a review we would be more than happy to. Thanks again!"

"Warwickshire Strings were fantastic, everyone kept talking about how good they were and their choice of music was bang on. They were in constant communication to ensure our day went to plan a fantastic act and I would most definitely recommend and book them again!"
