'Hi Candii

I would like to say a big thankyou for making my 40th birthday party a night to remember.

Your flawless talent shone through with your choice of music for my 70s/80s theme.

You and Frank had people that i thought would never get up, move and dancing non stop.

It's great how Kim got the crowd involved by playing a music quiz and giving away prizes for best dancers.

The show stopper was your Tina Turner solo. So spot on you left my friends wanting more.

I'm pleased that a few of them have booked you for their functions.

Once again....A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. XXX'

'I hired Candii Duo to entertain us for my 40th Birthday bash....and DID THEY DELIVER!!

Frank & Kim played a great variety of songs for a broad range of ages and got everybody up listening to

on their feet dancing and having a fantastic and memorable night.

Kim is an exceptional entertainer and does a great Tina Turner!!

I would highly reccomend Candii Entertainment for any function.

They were the highlight of my 40th Birthday.'

'My family, friends and l went to Casa D'Abruzzo Club in Epping to  

have a meal and watch the floor show called A Night Like This.

It was an awesome show... Tina Turner impersonator and many more. Kim Montalto

was the highlight of the evening. She is such an amazing impersonator.

During the show there were brilliant dancers which were  part of the show.

Kim along with her band and dancers kept us wanting more.

Candii duo kept us up on our feet dancing during the show's intermissions.

We really enjoyed ourselves...a truly great night out.

Thank you to all involved on putting on such a fantastic show. Special mentions 

to Kim Montalto, Frank Butters ,Lisa Asta and all the amazing dancers.

Colourful, dynamic and very entertaining.

Highly recommend the show.'

'Candii Entertainment played for our Wedding at the Manor On High, Epping.

The professionalism and support leading up to the day was great. 

Kim made sure she knew what we wanted for the night and if we were not 

sure, she guided us through and made suggestions on what works.

It was also handy to have MC services available to us.

On the night l couldn't have asked for more. The interaction with our guests 

made them want to be on the dance floor. With a variety of different music,

everyone was happy and enjoyed the night. 

Thank you once again for being the icing on our cake.'

'The Candii Girls played at my parents' double suprise 60th fancy dress

at Firenze Receptions, Fawkner. They were well set up, on time and even dressed

up to suit our occasion.

Their voices blended as one and their choice of music....well...let's just say...

THEY BLEW US AWAY.

Then they cleverly did wig and costume changes on stage.

Very entertaining and well worth the money. 

I'd definitely hire them again.'

'We had Kim perform for my hubbies 40th and then again for his 50th. On both occassions, our guests

had a great time listening, singing and dancing along with Kim. She is a live wire with a great voice 

packed into a little unit. She is dynamite.

We would have her entertain us anytime at another of our events. 

We have been to see her perform also at Reservoir RSL and will return there to see her again.

Love her voice, enthusiasm and she is a gorgeous young lady that makes you feel like partying 

with her.'

Candii are the full package!

Exciting, outstanding performers

that can communicate with any audience.'

'We have a long standing relationship with Kim and her

collegues. They have played for our boat launch and 

numerous birthdays. In more recent times Candii have 

been the highlight of our charters. Be it a Wedding, an executive

function or a day at the beach; Kim and her group have wowed the audience.

Kim and Carol have wonderful voices and can adapt to any genre.

It is very much a heart and soul effort. Many of our clients and  friends have

since hired Candii and so we have very much enjoyed the band many times.'

Sally Hewitt

'For the past four years Candii have been entertaining the members of this club.

at our mid year and Christmas functions. They have always provided professional

service and entertainment for our members and we will be continuing our involvement

with this group again this year.'

'Hi Kim... Just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed working with you.

So far you have performed twice on our parties and we have had raving reviews!

Everyone loved you as Tina Turner which you performed on my husband's suprise party

and then again last October when you did Donna Summer and again a bit of Tina Turner. 

Kim you are a star and l am looking forward to work with you again!

You are an absolute pleasure to work with.

A very happy 'Customer'....'

'As members of Reservoir R.S.L...we have got to know Kim Montalto through live

performances down stairs in the gaming room and on several occassions upstairs

Candii Duo Entertainment with Carol Taweel.

We have her performance to be outstanding in every way. Kim and Carol work really 

well together and they compliment each other. Their connection with the audience 

is amazing. Kim is a friendly and outgoing person and we highly recommend her and 

her band.'

Jason and Georgina Bennett

'Kim Montalto is one very talented entertainer..and l emphasize the word entertainer.

Kim's antics whilst performing either solo or with Candii Duo are second to none.

She throws in her own lyrics to keep the audience on their toes and also needs no 

dressing room for her quick costume changes. Kim is the best one handed dresser

l have seen, still managing to belt out her tunes mid change.

Standard Friday night drinks at Res RSL Club are brought to life when Kim starts to

play. She interacts with the patrons both professionally and socially, both taking requests

for their favorite songs over sharing a chat and odd glass of wine during her breaks.

I've been coming to see Kim since Feb 2011 and will continue to do so.'

'I'm a patron of the Reservoir RSL and have watched Candii from 2008 and still today.

 Just want to say that l enjoy so much to watch and dance to Kim on Friday nights and

the duo upstairs on a Saturday night.

It's always exciting to see what Kim's costumes are going to be...it's always a suprise..

haha! The singing, music and the many different instruments Kim and her duo partner 

use is always amusing and entertaining. The best part is the different types of music and

genres. they are constantly updating their songs too. I get to listen to the old and new 

songs...which l like a good mix of both. I love the Kylie Minogue and Tina Turner impersonations

the most. Great job ladies. Keep up the fun times and thank you for making so many nights 

memorable.'

Hi there Kim

Thank you so very much for your contribution to my 70th Birthday celebrations.

'Kim..... thank you for your amazing contribution to my 60th Birthday celebration at

The Eltham Gateway Hotel Conference Centre.

All of my guests raved about your talent. 

You had a great choice of music, dance moves and costume changes. 

Your Michael Jackson Floorshow was a standout and your Tina Turner

song to me really touched a nerve with myself and everyone present.

You sang it right from the heart, such a moment to savour Kim.

We just had to let you know that everyone...and we mean EVERYONE

was so impressed with you on Saturday night.

We all had a fantastic time and a large part of that was due to your professional

and friendly manner with your solo performance.

Thank you again Kim for adding your magical touch to my birthday party.

You were amazing.

The music was everything I wanted and you accommodated my requests and

went that extra mile to ensure the evening's

music was to everyone's liking; catering for all age groups and eras.

It was good to see everyone up dancing and singing along. 

You created a great atmosphere by providing not only a good music mood

but complimented your performance with an excellent light show. 

We hope you also enjoyed yourself and we can't wait to repeat our next

family function withyou out in front. You are a STAR Kim.

We will certainly be recommending 'CANDII' to all our friends. 

If a client needs a verbal reference, please pass my contact number on and

I'll gladly discuss the benfits of booking CANDII for their next function.

Kindest regards

The Birthday Boy.'

I had Uncles and Aunties that i expected to leave not long after the cake, but hey stayed 

ti the end because Kim was incredible. Not only were the older guests entertained,

but he younger guests had a ball too!

Hi Kim

I just wanted to send you a short note to say thank you to both you and Don for

entertaining Julie, me and our guests at our 60th birthday last Saturday at

Casa D'Abruzzo Club in Epping. You and Don provided a well-balanced repertoire

that couldn't help but appeal to everyone in the room from

all age groups. It was interesting to note, as the focus of each bracket of songs

changed to reflect the different decades, how the dance floor never seem to empty!

Not only was your material very appropriate, you looked visually appealing with your 

stage setup, lighting etc. Finally, we really loved your voices and more than one

guest remarked on how great you both sounded.You guys really helped

to make our joint 60th birthday party an extremely successful night.

What can l say about this performer? 

Well it's that she totally entertained everyone at my 50th birthday

function. The songs and the costumes kept everyone dancing

and entertained.I would highly recommend having Kim at any

function as she kept the party alive all the time. Her voice and

song choices are much better than a DJ. Thanks again Kim for

a fantastic performance and look forward to having you

again at the next one. xx

Candii Entertainment sang at my 50th Birthday.

Everyone is still talking about my party and your performances,

entertaining us with songs from every decade starting from 

50s to date. Kim l liked your style when l first saw you sing

at previous gigs and just knew you were suitable on my 

special night. You certainly proved that anyway.

Thank you Kim. I have no hesitation recommending you. 

You're so well organised and do your best to please the crowd.

I would like to thank Kim for making our day very special.

Candii Entertainment Duo performed at our Wedding,

not only was she great, great music, she got the crowd

up and swinging. She saved my life by scheduling the

whole wedding and taking on

the role of MC. You're a beautiful girl and very fun.

Everyone was talking about 

your beauty, voice, full of life and music choices.

Thank you my love. Will remember the day forever.

lf you're not familiar with the talents of Ms Cherry, l promise, you 

won't be disappointed (and l am hard to please).

Ms Cherry has a massive repertoire of popular songs covering the

70s, 80s & 90s Disco, Dance, Pop, New Wave & Rock.

I am always impressed with how she covers the songs just how l like 

to hear them - the way l remember them.

She also has an uncanny skill to make herself sound like the 

original artist. Donna Summer, Tina Turner, Madonna,

Kylie Minogue and with her costumes, this girl is the full package.

'Every performance that l have had the pleasure of being part of has

been professional, authentic & real.

Kim's voice is incredibly powerful, backed up with

energy to challenge herself in an effort to do the best performance

for whom ever her audience may be. I feel like I've been to 

the original concert of music from so many artists, eras & genres.

Kim is always prepared. Every venue is treated to

same professionalism & every audience given the most

enthusiastic performance.

Kim's range in both voice & as an entertainer is enormous.

She is also very obviously dearly loved by those around her.'

' I was so happy to have Candii Entertainment perform at my 50th birthday.

The song list was extensive covering many eras. 

Kim was so easy to work with. I supplied a program of how l wanted

the evening to run and it flowed beautifully. Her flexibilty was welcomed as

l joined her on stage in my drunken stupor. 

Her voice was a pleasure to listen to and my guests were kept entertained

throughout the evening.

Thank you so much for a job well done.

Much appreciated!!

Kim perfomed her Material Girl - Madonna Tribute 

at my 50th Birthday celebtration. The show complete with dancers and costumes 

was fabulous. So many people including myself could not believe

how much she sounded like Madonna. People were astounded to find out that

Kim was not lip syncing to Madonna's orginal tracks.

Thank you &well done Kim.
