"I had to take some time to write to you in sincere gratitude and
appreciation for recommending and booking Monterey International
with Erasmo for our wedding. They were absolutely beyond fantastic!!!
EVERYONE LOVED THEM! It was a real grand slam home run! [They were]
incredible and what an important part of our day they were. They
really brought a lot of magic and love to our event. Grazie Grazie
Tanto!!!"

Monterey International's blend of
well-loved songs from around the world will give your guests a unique
experience. Whether you are interested in Italian, French, Latin,
Viennese and Gypsy tunes or American Jazz standards, their blend
of ballads, tangos, rhumbas, waltzes and show tunes will delight

This fun, classy duo can stroll acoustically among your guests,
playing requests and leading sing-a longs; or they can add a vocalist,
drummer and bass player and perform as an amplified 5-piece band
onstage. They are perfect for cocktail parties, as well as a variety
of dinner/dance events. Let them put the pizzazz into your next
