Your choice!
Tamilla provides bespoke services for those who would like some class and sophistication to lift the mood and atmosphere.
She plays in any genre and prides herself in taking requests of your favourite songs which would make the occasion even more special and tailored to individual tastes.
Great communication throughout & responding to emails in a timely manor.
She arranged an introduction call at the beginning to go through all my questions.
She practiced new songs for us which weren't on her playlist & agreed to play a song walking down the aisle.
Her playing skills really impressive and all the songs were very well represented.
Tamilla was amazing! She answered my emails quickly and was lovely.
Her performance was spot on and all our guests said they really loved her music as she was playing modern songs that they knew! We would highly recommend
We had an excellent experience with Tamilla at our wedding! She was responsive, reliable and all around excellent! Tamilla made our cocktail hour much more lively with her music and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to her play. She had a wide variety of song choices as well. I would definitely recommend booking her for your next event!
I heard Tamilla play on YouTube and knew that I wanted her to play at our wedding.
From start to finish Tamilla was great; she is always there to answer any questions and made the whole process very easy.
The stand out for me was Tamilla agreeing to learn a number of new songs, just for our day, which goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Tamilla is the epitome of professional, a very sweet lady and was absolutely incredible on the day. Many guests asked where I found her and said she was the best they had heard - I think they also appreciated Tamilla's modern take on violin playing.
I wouldn't hesitate to ask Tamilla to play at another event. She was just fantastic.
Highly recommended :)
Tamilla was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. All of our guests absolutely loved the music and thought you were just wonderful. - Richard & Rosie
Thank you to Tamilla, The Violin & Expert.
Tamilla played beautifully for the entirety of our sit down meal,
what a talent. If Tamilla can't do it on a violin it can't be done!
She was only booked to play for an hour but we requested her to
stay and she did so with no complaints, I hope your wrist is ok .
You are so very appreciated and made our dinner feel super classy,
thank you from us both.
Jon and Chelsea
Tamilla was worth every penny. The music was exceptional and really gave my wedding day a good atmosphere. Had loads of guest compliment the performance and they really enjoyed it. The music choices were spot on!
Tamilla had great communication during the booking stage and was fantastic at changing dates due to a covid postponement. I didn’t get a chance to chat to her on the day but
I would like to say a massive thank you. I highly recommend her.
Thank you so much - you are amazing - little did you know some of your choices were very dear to us and our family. Great memories you made it so special! You were the talk of our group, what a star!
My son and his fiancé were having a small intimate wedding and I wanted to make it that little bit more special for them, I looked online and I found Tamillia a violinist and I thought I would love to book her to play at there garden reception, and it was the best decision I could have possibly made.
Everybody was absolutely blown away she is absolutely amazing, she plays beautifully and she made the day so magical, from the booking process to the contact before the wedding to make sure we were happy with everything was perfect and I would highly recommend using Tamillia for your special day.
I will definitely be booking for future events,
Thank you so much!
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.
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.
Hi
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. Sorry I didn't get a chance you actually meet you. You played so beautifully and are so talented. Will definitely recommend you if any of our friends and family ever look for a violinist.
Many thanks
Jasmin
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.
Tamilla, played so beautifully! Every one of the guests has commented on how amazing the music was! The service from beginning to end was fantastic. The Violin Expert was very responsive and helpful on the lead up to the ceremony. The music was perfect... and Tamilla was very considerate and repeated the songs we requested for the arrival of the guests during the signing of the register so that I (the bride) could also enjoy what I had missed whilst the guests were waiting. Can’t recommend enough! Very affordable too. If you like the violin and want to make a special occasion even more memorable then definitely book the Violin Expert!
I am writing to thank you for turning up and support at the most recent Mess function, your professionalism and lovely music throughout the night made the evening a huge success and the battery enjoy every minute. Thank you again and I will definitely use you again in the future.
Thank you so much for playing so wonderfully on our special day, I must say you were truly amazing and enhanced what a wonderful day it really was. We are so happy that we booked you to play, your performance was faultless and our guests were full of compliments 😊 Thank you so much again,
Hi Tamilla, we wanted to say a HUGE thank you for helping make the wedding so special. You played the violin so beautifully and we are so thankful.
We booked Tamilla for our wedding, which was pushed back 3 times due to the pandemic.
Tamilla was soo patient with our date amendments. When we finally met Tamilla on our wedding day, we were blown away by her art and performance.
I would highly recommend her, an amazing talent.
Thank you from the Jewells.
Hi Tamila, your performance was unbelievable yesterday and exceeded expectations.

Thank you again!

"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.

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!
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.

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! (10 / 10)

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.
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.
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!

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
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!
"Thank you very much for performing at our wedding ceremony. All our guests said how lovely you were at performing.
Luke and Nichola"
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.
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 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.
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
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
Best 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!
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 ;)
Tamilla made everything so easy and nothing was much trouble to ask. From the initial contact to the walking down the aisle was seamlessly organised. Thank you for your attention to detail and amazing talent. Best wishes for the future, Aimee
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 accommodate. Service was perfect and the sound of her violin made the day!
Tamilla was absolutely amazing be on the day of our wedding, such a lovely lass 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 :)
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.
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
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!
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.
Tamilla was brilliant, and played such contemporary songs with such gusto, that we could not only recognise them, but wanted to dance to them too. Guests were all commenting how special she made the day!
Tamilla was wonderful at our wedding whilst walking down the isle and after , during canapés
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 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.
