"Both my husband and I would like to thank Laura for her incredible performance at our wedding. Laura stepped in with ten days to go and nothing really was too much for her. She took on our set list and literally just as happy to play our important songs which meant the world to us. Laura was nothing but professional but on top of that she really made so much effort to make sure everything was right for us even with the very short notice. Our guests could do nothing but tell us how amazing Laura so I would just like to say if you are looking for an incredible pianist for a wedding or any event then please look no further, Laura is amazing."

"If I could give more stars I would!! Enchanted Harpist is an angel and an absolutely incredible harpist!! When I was planning my wedding, my mind was all over the place and I had completely forgotten to get entertainment for my wedding reception. It was a WEEK before my wedding day and I started looking for something elegant that would WOW my guests during the reception dinner. I enquired for a couple things but they were all mediocre. And then Dorothy came to my rescue!! I watched her videos and FELL IN LOVE!! She’s so incredibly talented, I’ve heard other harpists but no one plays so beautifully like her! Enchanted Harpist had an amazing set list but she also gave me options to make changes if I wanted. I also told her I had a colour theme for my wedding (lilac/lavender) and she even came in a beautiful lilac dress to match the theme! Enchanted Harpist really went above and beyond! All of my wedding guests were truly impressed with her and everyone was taking videos of her whilst she played beautifully on her harp. I would 100000% recommend Enchanted Harpist again and again to absolutely everyone!"

"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"

"Live Bollywood are amazing they supplied a Bollywood Retro Fusion Band. Right from the booking process till the end of our reception, Jay and his team were a pleasure to speak to and listen to. They catered for all our needs and requirements without hesitation, once i spoke to Jay for the first time i knew i had nothing to worry about. Musically MistryMusic are a cut above the rest, they are all super talented and work well together. Everyone at our reception enjoyed the music, even enjoyed their company because as people they are top blokes. Any musical needs I have im going straight to Live Bollywood. Thanks a lot, we loved it."

"From the moment my fiancé and I heard Warwickshire Strings play their beautiful music we knew that we wanted them to play at our wedding; and they did not disappoint! Communication from the team was fantastic prior to the wedding; ensuring that all of our music choices were played on the day. The team really understood our style of music as a couple as well as choosing music that suited our venue. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the music was and how it was a unique feature to our wedding day. We would certainly recommend Warwickshire Strings to anyone looking for professional musicians on their special day."
