• Our group enjoyed the jazz trio very much! It was a great evening... -- Pam F, Indianapolis, IN, 5/6/2008
• Monika was a pleassure to work with and extremely flexible. Glad that she was available to do this wedding. -- Evelyn W, Indianapolis, IN, 5/12/2006
• We hired Monika Herzig to perform at our Wedding Reception on December 17, 2005 at the Indiana Memorial Union on the IU Campus. We also wanted a male vocalist and she recommended Everett Greene. Monika was very great to work with leading up to the wedding - she always responded to my needs and questions quickly. Our reception went perfectly - Monika was great and Everett was awesome! Our only disapointment was that we hadn't hired a videographer so the wonderful entertainment of the evening was not documented. If you are a bride/groom who would like to stray away from a DJ at your reception - I would highly recommend Monika. She and Everett provided the formality that we were looking for. They made our wedding very memorable and unique! -- Shana M, Bloomington, IN, 12/17/2005
