Alyson Cadena is a bilingual performer renowned for captivating audiences with soulful renditions in both English and Spanish. With a deep passion for music cultivated from a young age, she specializes in creating memorable wedding moments tailored to each couple's unique love story. Beyond her versatile voice and heartfelt performances, Alyson also excels as a charismatic Master of Ceremonies, ensuring a seamless flow of events and enhancing the celebration with her engaging personality and professional presence. Her dedication to celebrating love and cultural diversity makes her a cherished addition to any wedding celebration.
I first heard Alyson sing in a restaurant while I was dining. A phenomenal vocalist who can sing almost anything. I knew I needed to have her at my wedding. I am pleased I reached out. Alyson and her band made the event unforgettable. She made me cry as she sang the song we requested for our first dance. Later, she crushed the reggae while I danced with my father. She not only did a phenomenal job with the music, but she also helped MC the wedding. To say I was stressed while planning my own wedding would be an understatement. She went above and above to minimize my stress by assisting me in planning the schedule of events for the reception so that everything ran smoothly. She also accommodated my last-minute request, which I forgot about the week before. I'm not sure when I'll have another occasion that requires live music, but I'll find a way to hear her sing again. Thank you, Alyson; you are exceptionally gifted, and your humility and humor are a bonus!
