“Carolina is professional and beautiful both vocally and in person. She went above and beyond during her performance at our wedding. Our guests were so impressed. She added a level of magic to our day that I’d be surprised if many other performers could have done as easily as she did. Thank you Carolina from the bottom of our hearts. You were everything we wanted and so much more. Our guests were blown away with your performance during our meal and our first dance was just beautiful.
