Thank you Brian & Cassandra for having VIVIENNE to be your wedding emcee ! It’s our pleasure to be a part of their wedding celebration, there was even a guest singing La Vie En Rose in operatic vocals ! Here is their feedback for VIVIENNE: “We have been very impressed by Vivienne’s emcee skill. Her pitch was perfect for us and the occasion. Please do feed this back to Vivienne.” All the very best and here’s wishing you everlasting…
Thank you Daxter & Kavita for having Edward to be their wedding emcee, and Yohannis (vocals) & Alex (vocals/guitar/percussion) as their wedding musicians. Many of the guests hailed from overseas, and we’re happy to entertain both the local and overseas guests with songs specially handpicked by the lovely couple! Have a listen to Yohannis & Alex‘s beautiful renditions: Congratulations to Daxter & Kavita!!
(More photos in post) Thank you Jun Liang & Wen Xuan for engaging Bevlyn to be your wedding emcee! Here’s wishing the two of you a great and lovely adventure in this new chapter together! Tea Ceremony before the solemnisation: Solemnisation onstage by Justice of Peace (JP) Dr Chung Tang Fong: What a lovely wedding gift from Raffles Hotel! And we used the yum-seng app!! 🙂
Thank you Stanley & Jingchao for having Regine to be their wedding emcee. The pleasure is definitely ours! All the very best, and blissful marriage ahead!
Wan Jun & Jia Hong had a long dating marathon of 11 years as they had met each other from polytechnic. They also recounted the mind-blowing experience of how Wanjun first met his family: Jiahong had to run back home to get a shave before going for a photo-taking session, and he had parked his car many houses away (with Wanjun in his car). His mother and aunt however had a hunch that Jiahong was hiding a girl outside, so…
There were a couple of reasons why we were excited to perform at Kenneth & Grace’s wedding. Firstly, they engaged a 5-piece band and that usually means a lot more fun for musicians (and more exciting music for the guests too)! Secondly, we are thrilled to perform at Raffles Hotel again after the long awaited refurbishment works. This ballroom used to be the old Jubilee Hall, check out how it has been transformed: Kenneth & Grace also engaged part of…

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: At Last It’s not easy coordinating a wedding when you are overseas, but Aloysius and Patricia did just that. After being away for a few years, they finally came back to host the wedding dinner and caught up with many family members and friends. Among 2 of them were Aloysius’ good friends who seemed very happy to share with the guests about the young Aloysius they once knew: Rodney, Aloysius’ childhood friend doing an imitation of how Aloysius…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Haven’t Met You Yet When I met Keith, I couldn’t quite imagine him as working in the SAF. His boyish good looks reminds me of someone who could be in the IT or teaching profession. According to Keith, however, he’s a Military Expert. A good thing about working in the Singapore Armed Forces is that you can get your colleagues to dress up in their military best for a swordbearers’ welcome. I’ve seen this dozens of times.…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: The First Time It was a beautiful sunny day, and Andrew and Gillian’s friends were all waiting patiently for the solemnisation ceremony to begin. On cue, Bevlyn started singing Lover’s Concerto, and Gillian began walking down the aisle with her father, her pixie-like face radiant with love. When Gillian’s dad handed her over to Andrew, I could see that Andrew was overwhelmed with joy. His eyes brimmed with happy tears, and Gillian smile shone even brighter than…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: I’m Beginning To See The Light Carmy probably never imagine she’d find true love on the other end of the world. According to Carmy’s good girlfriend, when she arrived in Bahrain, they used to lament at the lack of quality dates – the available but bad dates are these, aplenty in the Middle East. The high quality ones were rare, that was, until Craig joined Carmy’s company. It was a small but cosy wedding with Craig’s family flown…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: I Believe This is probably the wedding which I perform songs in the most number of languages, specifically, I took up the courage to learn a Korean song – ‘I Believe’, made popular by the Korean movie ‘My Sassy Girl’. It was a bit unnerving, I had to admit! On the actual day when I arrive for soundcheck, curiosity drove me to read the name cards placed on the rows of long tables. To my surprise, 2 of…
Hui Bing’s Thoughts: Let there Be Love The aromatic smell of ‘kopitiam’ coffee piqued my senses when I stepped into the ballroom. And there it was, there was a coffee station right in the middle of the ballroom, with a friendly elderly couple, dishing out traditional coffee powder from a Milo tin. It turns out that Petrine and Chia Seng and some of their friends are regulars of this coffee stall at an Amoy Street hawker centre, so they got…
Ian’s thoughts: Stand By Me If there was one thing I hadn’t seen in a long time at a wedding, it was to have the parents lead the march-in of the couple. Vicki and Shawn honoured their parents on this joyous occasion by having them precede the procession, while a specially dedicated photo montage of their parents played on the screens. It was a smooth sailing night for the band, happily tucked in our usual corner churning out tune after…
Eleanor’s thoughts: The Wedding Song Jackie’s family, the Yau family, came all the way from Hong Kong. The ladies were all very slim and elegantly and fashionably dressed, e.g. Jackie’s mom wore a short champagne dress with a ketupat weave for the solemnisation and a champagne fur-trimmed cheongsam for the dinner, while his sister-in-law wore a Grecian draped gown showing off an unbelievably trim figure despite her having two children. Jackie’s brother was in a suit with a great cut…
Imelda’s Thoughts: If We Hold On Together I can still vividly remember what a unique and entertaining party Lin Li and Yik Shiong’s wedding was. We were engaged to be the entertainment, but ended up being engaged in total entertainment by the wedding entourage. The moment I arrived at “The Lawn” of The Raffles Hotel, I was greeted by the riotous laughter of the band of brothers and sisters. They were in the midst of rehearsing for a hilarious skit…
Ariel’s thoughts: Everything I Do (I Do It For You) Anybody who attended this wedding lunch reception would surely leave a happier person! I know the band sure did as we basked in reverie and let our hair down with the fun-loving guests of the couple. Even Ein Ein and I couldn’t help but be amazed at Hsin Yeow’s show of energy with each successive song! From the beginning, Lucas and Su Geok made sure the repertoire for their wedding…
Jo’s thoughts: Beyond The Sea Rachel decided on Beyond The Sea for her March-In song, and no wonder — her groom Jason was an avid sailor, traversing the oceans until unexpectedly, he found somewhere to drop anchor at last…where his beautiful bride Rachel was. It’s a very beautiful story of romance between two continents that brought tears to the eyes of the band as well as the guests, perhaps best summed up in the loosely recalled words of Jason’s father,…
Hsin Yeow’s Thoughts: The Way You Look Tonight We were flattered to know Brian had considered offers from other groups before deciding to engage us. He had very clear ideas about what he wanted: pure jazz instrumental sets with a keyboardist and saxophonist. It was a no-brainer for us to book Ein Ein and Jonathan Lim for the gig. Seasoned musicians they are, yet they spent extra time to rehearse. The rehearsal time must have paid off, because they happily reported that guests repeatedly came up to them and gave positive feedback…
Matthew’s thoughts: Anyone At All I’ll remember this particular wedding for a few things. Firstly, the lovely bride Michelle had put so much thought into her first march-in it took me by surprise! She chose Carol King’s Anyone At All (“…you could’ve been anyone at all….”) and usually, it’s the band’s job to arrange it with the hotel people i.e. Letting them know how the sequence would go, just so they know when to open the doors (rocket science, really.)…
