Wei Han & Ivy on 10 Mar 19 @ Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band / Emcee /MC)
Wei Han & Ivy shared a funny highlight of their relationship with us: Wei Han proposed to Ivy when they were taking a hike up a mountain in Korea. He was struggling to set up the tripod on the uneven ground to capture the surprise moment when a helpful fellow hiker offered to help them with the photo, Wei Han asked the kind passerby to take a video however she was extremely puzzled and switched to photo mode not expecting a…

(Wedding) Lee Sung and Nellie, 20 Feb 2011, Marina Mandarin (Vanda Ballroom)
Jeremy’s Thoughts: All Star Concert ~!!! I’ve experienced one or two guests or the groom coming to the stage to sing with the band but this is by far the first wedding I experienced so many friends and relatives of the bride and groom coming up and to perform for the occasion and boy were they good! And I’m not saying for the sake of it! From as little as age 10 and the other 18, two nieces of the…
Don & Melissa, 29 Jan 2011, Marina Mandarin (Vanda Ballroom)
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Lady In Red First of all, I was surprised to find out soon after I arrive at the ballroom that Don and I have some common friends! One of them was the male emcee Adrian who whipped up all the Mandarin he had, and I have to say, he did a good job to put everyone at ease 🙂 I had not met Don and Melissa before their wedding day, and every time I spoke with Melissa over…
Kay and Karen, 17 Dec 2010, Marina Mandarin
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Beautiful Sunday It was a really enjoyable night for me. First of all, Kay and Karen were a very friendly couple. They kept checking with us if we were all right, despite having a million other things to take care of. The crowd was also very appreciative, and they kept giving us song requests. It’s not often that we get people singing along with us without our asking. But that’s what happened. When I was singing “Beautiful Sunday”, I…
Tony and Marilyn, 20 Nov 2010, Vanda Ballroom, Marina Mandarin
Juliet’s thoughts: Pretty World Playing with Sharon has always been such a joy. She has a spontaneous reaction to groove and sounds, and to seal it off all good, most importantly, has a passion for the music she plays. It’s real fun working with Wah yong and Sharon on this luncheon, playing beautiful songs such as Pretty World, I will, 可爱玫瑰花 etc with the audience clapping to almost every song. My highlight of the noon is Everything by Michael Buble,…
Kel Win & Hwan Cui, 07 Nov 2010, Marina Mandarin
Jerome’s thoughts: Over The Rainbow The ballroom was decorated with lots of balloon which seemed to transcend love that afternoon. It was quite a memorable wedding as Kel Win’s brother made a very touching speech about his love and happiness for Kel Win and Hwan Cui. There was also a very video clip about how Kel Win and Hwan Cui got together, and the interesting thing was, it was specially done up by both of them. Hwan Cui took the…

Alan and Cassie, 12 Sep 2010, Vanda Ballroom, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 每天爱你多一些 (Every Day I Love You More) What motivates a guy to declare his love? Why, competition of course! Alan and Cassie were hallmates. As fate would have it, they bumped into each other a few times and started to become more than just friends. But Alan knew there was another guy waiting in the wings. So Alan decided to spring into action. One day, he brought Cassie to a jewellery store on the pretext of choosing…
Ivan and Shermaine, 8 Aug 2010, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Pretty World Ivan and Shermaine’s wedding dinner was a friendly affair, we simply felt the buzz! Maybe the energy was partly brought on by Shermaine, who is the poster girl for Citibank. In his speech, Ivan quipped, “Everyday I buy the newspapers, everywhere I turn, I see your face. I see so much of your face and so little of the news I wonder why I buy the newspapers at all….” Ah-ha! We wonder why only Ivan experiences that…
Daniel and Chevelle, 30 Jul 2010, Marina Mandarin (Poolside) (Wedding Live Band)
Bevlyn’s thoughts: Kiss Of Life It was actually my first time performing at the Marina Mandarin poolside, imagine that after 6 years of wedding-singing! But I think it shows that more and more couples are taking to the idea of alfresco settings, and the poolside at Marina Mandarin boosts of the lovely swimming pool (of course), the nice poolside seats for the early guests to sit on before being ushered to the banquet area; and the banquet area has antique-looking…
Stella and Wilson, 9 Jan 2010, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: I Finally Found Someone When I arrived at the ballroom and glanced at the pre-wedding photos, I was struck by how photogenic Stella was. She had the fresh-faced, wide-eyed mien reminiscent of Korean actresses. When I finally saw her, I realised she looked even more lovely in person! It was easy to see how Wilson won Stella’s hand. He had a sincere charm about him. Here’s an example: Stella and Wilson chose to present huge bouquets of…
Alan and Eunice, 8 Jan 2010, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
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…
Kenneth and Shirley, 20 Dec 09, Vanda Ballroom, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Judy’s thoughts: My Valentine This was my first time singing at Vanda Ballroom. Nice cosy ballroom and really cold. But the place was quickly warmed up when the guests arrived and filled the ballroom with their chatter. Kenneth had come down to meet us just to oversee things. I was quite bemused with the expression on his face. He looked like a child who had been given a truckload of candies and didn’t know what to do with it. He…
Ruimin and Shirlene, 6 Dec 09, Vanda Ballroom, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

Terence and Cindy, 10 Nov 09, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Serene’s thoughts: Come What May The wedding of Terence and Cindy was held at the Marina Mandarin Singapore. The couple decided on a selection of songs for the evening which had one thing in common: they were songs that were extremely romantic, with moving melodies and lyrics. I felt too, the songs were very reflective of Terence and Cindy, as well as their love for each other. From the morning “gate crashing” events, Terence was spotted (with his brothers) eating…
Zhuo Jian and Peiling, 1 Nov 09, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Hui Bing’s Thoughts: 暖暖 (Warm) Zhuo Jian and Peiling loves songs by Fish Leong (梁静如) so the entire songlist was peppered with the Malaysian pop princess’s songs – 5 in all! I thoroughly enjoyed singing these songs – some of them popular karaoke hits, such as 勇氣 (Courage) and Fly Away. Linus and I were deeply encouraged by the warm response from guests – thanks to the excellent sound that the hotel provided that night, complete with a spotlight! A…
Zijie and Shanyi, 31 Oct 09, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
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…
Luc and Lindt, 25 Oct 09, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: 绝不能失去你 (Can’t Do Without You) + Can’t Take My Eyes Off You I really have to give kudos to Lindt for the ideas she came up with for her wedding. First off, everyone watched a photo montage which feature the couple’s parents; everyone laughed when they saw Lindt’s father throwing a Bruce Lee high kick in one of the pictures! Then the parents marched in to Matthew and Lim Hui’s instrumental rendition of 最浪漫的事 (The Most Romantic Thing).…
