My wife and I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you for your performance at our wedding on 28th March at Shehnai (Reading) You were absolutely amazing and the feedback we received was fantastic. We didn't get a proper chance to come over and personally thank you on the day. Your performance for our 1st dance was truly special.... (can't wait to look back on the video) Once again, a very big thank you and we'll will keep in touch for any future bookings.
