Suzanne and William, 3 Oct 09, Megu Hall, Singapore Flyer (Wedding Live Band)

3 October 2009

Serene’s thoughts: When I Fall In Love The wedding of William and Suzanne was a breath of fresh air. The couple’s solemnisation ceremony was held outdoors, against breathtaking views of clear skies, the Singapore Flyer and the Marina Bay Waterfront. A full-length glass window on one side of the room set the perfect backdrop for afternoon, allowing plenty of natural light into the hall, and enabling guests and relatives to indulge in the lovely views surrounding the Megu Event Hall where…

Hui Ping and Xiaodong, 3 Oct 09, The Sentosa Resort & Spa (Wedding Live Band)

3 October 2009

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Matthew’s thoughts: 月亮代表我的心 (The Moon Represents My Heart) What an inspirational story! It gives hope to all guys out there (like myself!) that with enough determination (and luck!) you can get the girl! I’m not sure if I heard the story right, but apparently, Hui Ping was out backpacking in Vietnam (or somewhere else in exotic south-east asia) and it was on a 12-hour coach ride that Xiao Dong caught a glimpse of her! And so, he waited patiently for…

April and Agus, 2 Oct 09, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

2 October 2009

Four Seasons

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: I Will Follow Him I meant it when I said ‘A warm welcome to all the beautiful ladies and gentlemen’ as April and Agus’ guests dressed to the nines for their wedding, wearing beautiful gowns, smart suits and tuxedos. I thought the ensemble for that night was just perfect – with Lim Hui on violin and Joel on double bass and Matt on keys, who in his creative and unique style, always try to vary the…

Merilyn and Justin, 29 Sep 09, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

29 September 2009

Four Seasons

Matthew’s Thought’s: Strawberries + Freshly Whipped Cream + Brown Sugar + Hot Chocolate Fudge Rather than having peanuts/potato chips at their reception, this wonderful couple decided to opt for something a little more special: picture a HUGE ice-sculpture, filled with, well, ICE, and pile on 20,000 fresh strawberries, with their irritating green leaves still attached, laid beside a serving table that has little dessert plates, which you then add generous servings of freshly whipped cream (it’s imported from Heaven, so…

Vincent and Huiling, 27 Sep 09, Intercontinental (Wedding Live Band)

27 September 2009

Intercontinental Singapore

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Just The Way You Are The first thing on my mind for this wedding was, “I hope I’ll not be late because of the F1 jam”. In the end, my band and I, being super-kiasu, arrived much earlier hoping to beat the F1 jam. Maybe we did, because it was too early for jams or filled carparks of any sort! With an upright piano and an elevated stage, we did our soundcheck with the help of the friendly…

Gim Kiong and Pei Lin, 21 Sep 09, M Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

21 September 2009

M Hotel

Ariel’s thoughts: Angels Brought Me Here Gim Kiong and Pei Lin decided to start their wedding dinner with a bang! Rather than the usual photo montage that couples show at wedding dinners these days, Gim Kiong and Pei Lin’s guests were treated to an entertaining animation depicting the highlights of their love story, from Gim Kiong’s relentless pursuit of Pei Lin to his unintentional mistake of being late on their first day! The cartoon, peppered with hilarious graphics, sure set…

Kelvin and Yanling, 20 Sep 09, Waterfront Ballroom, Grand Copthorne Waterfront (Wedding Live Band)

20 September 2009

Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 亲密爱人 (My Lover) I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I read Yan Ling’s account of how she met Kelvin: “Our relationship started seven years ago. But we had known each other since 1994 when we were in Secondary One. We were both from the same class. Back then, our form teacher arranged our seats in such a way that I was seated next to a boy who irked me no end with all his nonsensical…

Jim and Theresa, 20 Sep 09, Windsor Ballroom, Goodwood Park Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

20 September 2009

Goodwood Park Hotel

Eleanor’s thoughts: You Belong To Me Having attended and performed at countless weddings, I know the routine like the back of my hand, even though I have never personally experienced it. Hence, it amazes me how many couples are able to come up with ways to make their celebrations special and unique. Before making their grand entrance, Jim and Theresa decided to set a lighthearted tone for the evening; they screened a hilarious animation that told their love story. The…

WPAS Social Nite, 12 Sep 09, Waterfront Ballroom, Grand Copthorne Waterfront (Corporate Live Music/Band)

12 September 2009

Corporate Events, Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: For Once In My Life Q:What happens when you put a bunch of wedding photographers in a room? A: They shoot each other, of course. My lame excuse of a joke aside, I was thrilled when I got a call from Edmund, the treasurer of The Wedding Photographers Association (Singapore) (WPAS), inviting A Little Dream to be the official band for the WPAS Social Nite. The social nite was really an opportunity for photographers and other wedding…

JTC Recreation Club’s 1-Year Anniversary, 27 Aug 09, Club Lounge (Corporate Live Music/Band)

27 August 2009

Corporate Events

Serene’s thoughts: Stickwitu The JTC Club Lounge was the perfect place to chill out and relax complete with a Karaoke system, lounge sofas, a pool table, darts machine, fuse ball, café and an outdoor garden. It was nice to see staff and committee members catching up and mingling over a delectable buffet spread for the Club’s 1st Year Anniversary event. It was a very special day for the JTC Recreation Club as one of the event highlights of the evening…

Casey and Daryl, 16 Aug 09, Palm Terrace, The Legends (Wedding Live Band)

16 August 2009

Hotel Fort Canning

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: I Live My Life For You One of my favourite questions I ask grooms when I meet them on their wedding day is, “So, how was the gate-crashing this morning?” Some grooms laugh it off by saying, “Oh it was all right! We got in pretty smoothly.” The faces of some grooms would change colour, as if remembering the “interesting” concoctions they were made to swallow. Daryl’s reaction was funny: he lifted his leg, pushed up his…

Comstor Singapore’s Anniversary Dinner, 11 Apr 09, Equinox (Wedding Live Band)

11 August 2009

Equinox, Swissotel Stamford

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Pretty World Sometimes our band takes a break from performing to lovestruck couples and sings at corporate functions instead. This involves switching gears, and we need to get used to performing in front of a very different crowd. The guests at Comstor Singapore’s Anniversary Dinner still found time from high-powered networking to appreciate the music from Eleanor, Matthew and Brad, who performed a repertoire of jazz and standards. The trio was so well-received, the organiser asked for…

Germaine and James, 4 Jul 09, Sentosa Resort & Spa (Wedding Live Band)

4 July 2009

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: When I See You Smile I’d long heard of Joe Augustin when he was reigning the air waves, but today, I had the rare opportunity to witness ‘live’ for myself the wits, intelligence, control and professionalism of this wonderful man when he took on the role of emcee for Germaine and James’ wedding. With him stringing the items together, everything was seamless. James and Germaine had their solemnisation in the garden one level below the banquet hall, and…

Siong San and Rebecca, 3 Jul 09, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

3 July 2009

Four Seasons

Serene’s Thoughts: When I’m 64 The wedding of Rebecca and Siong San was held at the Four Seasons. The lush ballroom was given a lovely tint of romance with pink gerberas bouquets placed around the room. For their 2nd march-in, Rebecca looked stunning in a pale silvery blue gown that accentuated her lovely complexion. The couple chose a set of really beautiful and timeless classics to be performed by the band for the evening. One of which was “When…

Singapore Cord Blood Bank Fundraising Dinner, 26 Jun 09, Grand Salon, Conrad (Corporate Live Music/Band)

26 June 2009

Conrad Centennial Singapore, Corporate Events

Imelda’s thoughts: 我要你的爱 (心) ! A cosy dinner hosted behind closed doors and under the watchful eye of our DPM Wong Kan Seng’s personal bodyguards was indeed an eye-opener. Yes, we couldn’t peel our eyes off the delicious-looking dishes that were being individually served to the guests! Each plate was a tiny but ornate art piece, worthy of every succulent bite. And in between my own bites of lian rong pao (lotus seed buns) that sweet Matthew had thoughtfully bought from…

Yeow Chung and Candice, 14 Jun 09, Windsor Ballroom, Goodwood Park Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

14 June 2009

Goodwood Park Hotel

Windson’s thoughts: 简单爱 (Simple Love) Yeow Chung and Candice makes a very humorous couple together. From their wedding video to their speeches, the guests were tickled throughout by their playful sense of humour. Their video was presented in an Action Suspense Movie format, with lots of adrenaline pumping music that sets your heart racing, wondering if this will turn out to be a deadly battle between the sexes. Indeed it was by all means a very thrilling and eventful day.…

Su Lin and Daniel, 13 Jun 09, Holiday Inn Parkview (Wedding Live Band)

13 June 2009

Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 爱很简单 (Love Is Very Simple) There is a saying which goes, “近水楼台先得月，向阳花木易为春” (The pavilion closest to the water gets the moonlight, the flowers facing the sun bloom easily.) For Daniel and Su Lin, love blossomed when they stayed at the same college/hostel, John’s XXIII College at the Australian National University in Canberra. When Daniel graduated, he moved back to Singapore while Su Lin remained in Sydney to study and work. What sealed it for them was the…

Ivy and Tong Hoe, 7 Jun 09, Vanda Ballroom, Marina Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

7 June 2009

Marina Mandarin Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: I Knew I Loved You That first step is always the hardest. When Tong Hoe wanted to ask Ivy to be his girlfriend, he did what he thought would be sufficient. Romantic venue? Yes, it was at Mount Faber. Flowers? Check. He bought a bouquet of roses. But when it came to holding onto Ivy’s hands, his nerves got the better of him. Ivy was upset: how to be my boyfriend? Two weeks after that fateful date,…

Fang Ting and Shu Hong, 6 Jun 09, Jade Site 1, Rasa Sentosa (Wedding Live Band)

6 June 2009

Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: If We Hold On Together I was deeply touched by this particular stanza in one of Fang Ting’s emails, : I don’t think I can find anyone except Mr Wong Shuhong who can do anything, everything and nothing with me! That’s so much things we love doing together, skating, music, playing boardgames and computer games, driving out at night when there’s a sudden yoghurt or ice-cream cravings and so on. Even when I picked up knitting, he tagged along…
