Thank you Cathy & Jerry for engaging Yokez to be their bilingual wedding emcee. And we are stoked to received this wonderful review from Cathy! Congratulations to Cathy & Jerry! May your life together be filled with unforgettable moments and endless tenderness! Catch a quick preview of Yokez’s emceeing here:
Michelle and Javier got to know each other in University 8 years ago, and funny thing was, nobody knew they were dating at the beginning! A common classmate saw them holding hands when they were out at Orchard one day…he was in disbelief since they didn’t interact at all in school. Michelle and Javier laughed at his reaction and ran off after that. News was spread and it took them quite a few months to accept it. 🤣 Thank you…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Lovers Concerto First dates can be horrifying. You’re trying your best to impress, make small talk, and show your date that it’s worthwhile to meet up again. Chun How thought he blew it when he couldn’t tear open a teabag no matter how hard he tried. Red-faced, he summoned a waiter, who – thankfully – faced the same problem and replaced the offensive sachet. Little episodes like these make a courtship so memorable. To entertain their guests,…

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: When You Love A Woman Casey and Adrian heard us perform at the Grand Park City Hall’s wedding showcase last May, and engaged us for their wedding soon after. From the start, I could sense the couple’s sincerity, and I really looked forward to their wedding day. Several months later, I was getting ready with Serene and Ein Ein when Adrian came up to me and shyly thanked me for coming. It was our pleasure, really! When…
Sofyan’s thoughts: Thank You For Loving Me Throughout the evening, Azuan was always referred to as the Giant with a Gentle Heart by his friends. Well, he surely is a giant, since I have to literally look up to him just to have a little chat with him (or is it the-short-and-tiny me?). Nevertheless, I also testify that he’s a man with a gentle heart – and a creative mind too. Instead of the slow-motion grand 1st march-in, Azuan and…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: I Will Be Here Edmund and Natalie had a novel idea for a walk-in. They wanted to sing a duet. Not just any duet, mind you, but an original song written for a musical. The task of playing the tune fell on James’ capable shoulders. He arranged for Edmund and Natalie to rehearse with him before the wedding to make sure they knew exactly what to do. When I heard the couple’s assured rendition of the song,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: L-O-V-E One reason why wedding singing is so enjoyable for us is the simple fact that people you meet at wedding celebrations are often brimming with happiness. You hear laughter everywhere you turn, and you see people hugging and kissing each other as if they have not met for a long, long time. Melissa told me the guests at Jacquelyn and Frederick’s wedding was a fantastic bunch; they were very appreciative of the band’s performance, and applauded…
Lim Hui’s thoughts: Close To You I was welcome by some of the most gracious and charming hosts at Hilton Hotel’s Panaroma Room during Chueh Yik and Tze Kheng’s wedding reception on 20 Sept 2009. The dazzling bride, Chueh Yik, was captivatingly sweet and the bridegroom, Tze Kheng, looked all ready to welcome his guests in his stunning suit. Guests of Chueh Yik and Tze Kheng relaxed by the pool during the cocktail reception, while basking in soothing jazz tunes…
Hot on the heels of our Novotel Clarke Quay showcase, we will be performing at Hilton Hotel on 5 Sep 09! It’s going to be really special for us, because we will be featuring our new singers, Sofyan, Audrey, Adi and Shi Li! If you’re curious to hear them, come and join us this Saturday, between 12.30pm and 3pm! See you soon! EDIT: We had a great time! Many thanks to the couples who came to listen to us. Take…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: You Make Me Feel Brand New This is what Tammie wrote to me: We’ve been together for 9 years. I’ve known Benny when he was 24 and I was 17. We started out as friends (like older bro-younger sis rship) but eventually started liking each other …. We are total opposites – e.g. i love listening to jazz songs while he likes Chinese songs (but i’ve slowly converted him to become a jazz lover). i like drinking wine,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Umbrella Behind Eric’s quiet demeanor lies a romantic heart. He took great pains to hide the fact that he had already engaged us 6 months prior to his wedding celebrations with Francine. Despite several close shaves, he was successful! When Francine walked into the ballroom, her mouth gaped into a small O as she saw us. If she were a comic strip character, the speech bubble above her would read, “Why are they here?” At her blog,…
Serene’s thoughts: I’ll Never Find Another You Anson and Jean’s love story spanned over a decade, one that was described beautifully during the speeches of three of their close friends at the wedding reception. I recall how each of these three friends mentioned candidly that at first impression, Anson and Jean came across as an “Ah Beng and Ah Lian” couple and how they all had doubts if the relationship would last. Fun teases and funny moments aside, all three…
Juliet’s thoughts: You’re Still The One Here’s one of the most interesting weddings I will remember, for various reasons. Working with Clarence again, is definitely a joy since we tend to share similar musical instincts, and I especially appreciate his spontaneity and the adventurous streak in arrangement, offering the songs a unique flavour each and every time we perform a song together. Though young, Ivan surprised me with his improvisational skills, giving the ballads a smoothness to them, and faster…
Hui Bing’s Thoughts: Fly Me to the Moon In one of our correspondences, Adeline described that she and Victor is ‘a pair of boring people’. On the contrary, I thought that there was a lot of unspoken sweetness between them, as they sought to make the wedding memorable in their own little way, through the little details. For instance, Victor wanted to ensure that the sound system is perfect and got the hotel’s agreement to pipe the music through their…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 心肝宝贝 (Baby) Chanel and Lang Feng I had a fabulous time performing and hosting for Chanel and Lang Feng! One of the highlights of the evening was surely the video which showed footage of the tasks Lang Feng had to accomplish when he went to fetch Chanel on their wedding day. I’m sure Lang Feng had no idea what was in store for him, and how difficult it would be before he could see Chanel. He drank…
