Bevlyn’s thoughts: 恋之憩 (Love’s Resting Place) Sandy emailed me to say that she would like to sing a song to surprise Peter on their wedding day, and unfortunately there was no time for rehearsal, not even before the wedding day itself. After giving her speech, she shared with everyone that she’d like to sing a song for Peter, and with the band at the other far end of the ballroom giving her musical support, she broke into the lovely 新谣 (Singapore…

Four Seasons

Judy’s thoughts: 最好的事 (The Best Thing) This wedding gig was a first for me in many ways. It was my first time singing at Four Seasons Ballroom, first time collaborating with my lovely accompanist Qiuyun and most importantly, my first time singing a wedding song written by the bride herself! The wonderfully and meticulously organized wedding lunch was definitely as memorable for me as it was for the couple. The wedding lunch was unlike other conventional wedding events. There was…

Alan and Julie, 11 Jun 2010, Waterfront Ballroom, Grand Copthorne Waterfront (Wedding Live Band)

11 June 2010

Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: When You Love A Woman First dates can be horrifying. (Sounds like deja vu) That’s why I take my hat off to Alan, who met three women, not just one, on his first date. The ‘target’ was Julie, friend of Meng (colleague) and Vanessa (Meng’s wife). “After much persuasion”, Julie agreed to meet Alan, but brought along Meng and another female friend Alice. Despite the odds, Alan managed to hold his own, and charmed Julie into a…

Chee Ming and Poh Lee, 29 May 2010, Padang, Swissotel (Wedding Live Band)

29 May 2010

Swissotel Stamford

Bevlyn’s thoughts: L-O-V-E It has been some time since I sang at Swissotel, and the Padang room, being the most rectangular in shape among the 3, provides a great view of the stage for the guests, as well as the guests for us – the performers! Everyone was gathered in celebration for the lovely couple who got to know each other through work, and as fate would have it, the rest is history! I like the selection of songs chosen…

Wei Pin and Hazel, 31 Jan 2010, Hotel InterContinental (Wedding Live Band)

31 January 2010

Intercontinental Singapore

Tanya’s Thoughts: Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You The magnificent and grand ballroom, resplendent with large chandeliers and lovely sweet pink decor, couldn’t be a better place for Hazel and Wei Pin to hold their wedding celebration. And we were indeed honoured to be a part of their night of revelry. The two female emcees did a fantastic job of keeping the guests well-entertained with their gregarious bantering and sharing with the crowd snippets of trivia about the bride…

Martin and Shandy, 23 Jan 2010, Magnolia Ballroom, Grand Hyatt (Wedding Live Band)

23 January 2010

Grand Hyatt Singapore

Serene’s thoughts: Love Story I have sung at many weddings, but to a receive sincere, heartwarming powerpoint presentation put together by the couple, addressed to the band to introduce themselves is a first. How sweet is that? From the presentation, we got a glimpse of who Martin and Shandy were, and how their love story evolved. This couple first met in 2000 and started going out in 2001. in between, Martin left for studies for two years, and he proposed…

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Top Of The World When I first arrive at the ballroom, I was blown away by the wedding decor. Check this out (sorry we blocked some lovely flowers right behind us): L-R: Fabian, Melvin, Chiou-Yun, Bevlyn, Shawn Arranged by the professional wedding planner Wedding Entourage, the band was proudly located on an elevated stage next to the main stage. With 5 of us on it, we felt like we were indeed delivering a concert; even guests at the…

Alan and Eunice, 8 Jan 2010, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

8 January 2010

Marina Mandarin Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Famous Last Words Alan’s a big softie at heart. Before he began his thank-you speech, he said, “Tonight, I’m the one giving the speech, because if Eunice does it, she’ll start crying and the ‘waterfall’ will start.” Two sentences into his speech, Alan, for all his bravado, found himself choked up with emotion and barely able to speak. At times, he had to dab his eyes with a piece of tissue given to him by the hotel…

Cheong and Sandra, 17 Dec 09, Amara Sanctuary (Wedding Live Band)

Amara Sanctuary

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Unforgettable Check out these cute pictures. I forgot to ask Sandra and Cheong if they have been keeping the JC clothes till today…whichever the case, they still look like JC kids! Yes, Sandra and Cheong got to know each other while studying at CJC 10 years ago…and the couple ended their dating marathon on 17 Dec 2009, I’m sure much to the delight of their friends and family! With Chiou Yun on piano and I on vocals, both…

Kwok Ying and Meifang, 12 Dec 09, Conrad (Wedding Live Band)

12 December 2009

Conrad Centennial Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: I Finally Found Someone I was so thrilled to receive Meifang’s feedback! The couple initially wanted to engage Bevlyn and me to perform, but they came to us a little too late. Their disappointment was assuaged when I assured them that Jun Xiong and Hui Bing would excellent vocalists. Qiuyun’s assured playing ensured that the performance went without a hitch! Feast your eyes on the beautiful photos from one of our partners, Yu Hsin, of Tinydot Photography.…

Siong Chye and Eileen, 5 Dec 09, Amara Sanctuary Resort (Wedding Live Band)

5 December 2009

Amara Sanctuary

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 天使 (Angel) Siong Chye and Eileen were colleagues, and were working together to organise community events. Being in the same company volleyball team also helped them understand each other better. The relationship grew stronger with each passing day. Eileen told me Siong Chye proposed to her on a large grassland at Woodlands Drive 17, beside the Singapore Sports School, and went back to it to take pre-wedding photographs. The site also overlooks their new house. No worries…

Ivy and Gerald, 26 Nov 09, InterContinental (Wedding Live Band)

26 November 2009

Intercontinental Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Because You Loved Me One of the more popular wedding songs is “Because You Loved Me”. Penned by master songwriter Dianne Warren, the lyrics speak powerfully of being thankful for all the great things love can do. It’s ideal for a march-in, and I was happy to sing it for Ivy and Gerald as they walked into the gorgeous ballroom of Hotel InterContinental. The emcee even sang along with me! “For all those times you stood by…

Chris and Peggy, 21 Nov 09, Gallery West, Suntec City (Wedding Live Band)

21 November 2009

Uncategorized

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Angels Brought Me Here I felt privileged to be at Chris and Peggy’s wedding celebration, not just because the couple trusted us implicitly to provide a night of rousing music, but also because I was privy to information perhaps not many others knew about. Chris shared with me a particularly heart-wrenching period of their relationship. This was about three years ago, shortly after Peggy left for studies in Australia. It was a trying time when they had…

Junkai and Ziwei, 1 Nov 09, Grand Park Cityhall (Wedding Live Band)

1 November 2009

Grand Park City Hall

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: A Fairy-tale Wedding Junkai and Ziwei got acquainted in Junior College. They started off as pen-pals; Junkai was the “angel”, writing letters to Ziwei, aka the “mortal”. Thus began the angel-mortal story. The couple’s wedding was unique in the sense that every song had a specific purpose in relating their love story. Take the first song for instance. It was “Guardian Angel”, and as I started singing, the door opened to reveal a little boy, who walked…

Zijie and Shanyi, 31 Oct 09, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

31 October 2009

Marina Mandarin Singapore

Bevlyn’s thoughts: 就是爱你 (Just Loving You) I met up with Shanyi in Feb earlier this year to find out more about the wedding song she wanted me to write for her hubby Zijie. Listening to their love story, and meeting and hearing her for myself definitely helped me to capture their personalities, which is critical for creation of the song 🙂 Time flashed by – I came up with the song, she filled in the lyrics, I got my musicians…

Mike and Kaixin, 30 Oct 09, Ocean Ballroom, Pan Pacific Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

30 October 2009

Pan Pacific Singapore

Ariel’s thoughts: 月亮代表我的心 (The Moon Represents My Heart) As Zheng Quan and I were rehearsing for this couple’s wedding show, the first thing I noticed was that their friends, especially the “brothers and sisters”, were really fun-loving and spontaneous! I was pleasantly surprised when the couple’s friends eagerly cheered for the band and enjoyed the songs which were specially chosen by the couple and probably dedicated to their loyal friends. Zheng Quan’s rendition of 一人一半 (One Half) seemed to have…
