• Aug. 17, 2024Monico were fantastic 😍. We were up dancing throughout the whole evening. They joined in with the spirit of the evening, celebrating a 60th birthday with family and friends. All four members of the band were genuinely kind, talented and professional musicians. I could not recommend them higher. So many people have commented after the party on how good they were. Look out for more invitations to play at parties in South Devon! I hope Monico
enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

• Aug. 13, 2022Monico were absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding band! Their communication was great and on the night they arrived and set everything up in the background extremely quickly and professionally, without disrupting the rest of the evening. They even provided lighting as we only had a couple of small lights at the venue.
Their song selection was perfect and their playing and vocals were incredible! We had so many compliments from our guests and they had people up and dancing from the very first song they played! On top of this, they were really nice friendly guys to deal with. I can't recommend them highly enough! Thanks again for a great night!
