Who is suitable to take up a songwriting package? You are if: – you’ve always wanted to compose a song for your spouse but need just a little more guidance to make a complete song – you’d like to have a song which tells of your love story (you may even embed the song into your photo montage and share it with your wedding guests!) – you’d like to have a special song just for the two of you! –…
From the unmistakable voice behind the closing theme song of <<保温>> of Mediacorp’s hit television drama series Little Nyonya <<小娘惹>>, Bevlyn Khoo (邱意淋) releases her third album ‘Feel About You’.This album features the never-been-released Chinese single <<保温>> and will be included as one of the three bonus tracks. Hit single《我们要一直这么要好》(co-written with award-winning lyricist 小寒) is currently running the hit chart of Y.E.S. 933! And here’s a song you may consider singing to your bride/groom on your wedding day (“A Love Song”):…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Just The Way You Are Ian and Yili arrived early at the Mayfair pool of Goodwood Park Hotel in preparation for Alvin and Grace’s solemnisation. It is increasingly ‘chic’ to have ‘live’ music at solemnisations, and Grace and Alvin had requested for the duo to perform ‘Canon-in-D’ for their march-in. 🙂 At Tudor ballroom, preparations were in full force to welcome all the guests for the banquet. This is one of them, and I think it’s a brilliant…
Judy’s thoughts: You Mean Everything to Me It was a sunny Saturday afternoon as Boon Chye, Matthew and I made our way to Amara Sancuary. It was my first time performing there and that made me rather excited. The hotel was designed in a way that reminded me very much of a spa, and I love spas so it was a very welcoming sight. As the 3 of us took a little short walk towards the restaurant, I envisioned a…
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…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: A Love That Will Last If you’re single and have a close friend of the opposite sex who likes to bicker with you, who knows, that person could be the one for you! Okay, I get that it’s too simplistic a view. But for Charlina and Kim Boon, the initial dislike Charlina had for her eventual knight-in-shining-armour became an attraction, which blossomed into love. In spite of the constant arguments, there was an undeniable chemistry between them. Some of their…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: 我和你的命中注定 (Our Destiny) Alvinson ups the bar for all grooms. Here’s why: – He approached us in Aug last year (omg more than 1 year from his wedding). – He commissioned our team to pen lyrics for a song which both he and Pearlyn love very much. The song is a commercially released song in Cantonese, and our lyricist revamped the lyrics to Chinese; the content of the lyrics is based on Alvinson and Pearlyn’s love story 🙂…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 一个像夏天一个像秋天 (One Like Summer, One Like Autumn) Eileen thought William wasn’t a particularly romantic guy, but she had to take it all back when he surprised her by proposing while they were on a trip to Genting. The proposal had all these elements: – surprise (check) – bended knee (check) – witnesses (check) William even arranged for photographs to be taken to document Eileen’s expression of joy, bliss and utter astonishment when the ring was slipped onto…
Ian’s Thoughts: A Date with Daniel & Rain “When love is put to the test, those who persist will find a way out.” Daniel and Rain is one such couple. The couple knew each other since their poly days but love only blossomed several years after. Like most couples, bickering is part and parcel of growing together; but when stress came into the picture as well, they found themselves trying to keep afloat. According to Rain, Daniel was the man…
Judy’s thoughts: Growing Old With You No Monday Blues for Tianrong and Charlotte, who were getting married bright and early on 21 Sept 09, Monday morning. The air smelled fresh and the sun shone bright – a perfect setting for wedding vows to be taken. Charlotte looked a million dollars when she walked down the stairs, past a trail of white rose petals and joined Tianrong, who was waiting anxiously and eagerly for his wife-to-be. It was a quick and…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 有你真好 (It’s So Good To Have You) How often do you tell your parents you love them? Well, one way is to do it in front of all your family and close friends at your wedding. Apart from expressing love for her husband Eddie, Kenix made sure to thank her parents. This was what she said: “爸爸，妈妈，我真的觉得我好幸福，有你们在我的身边。 从小到大，无论我想要做什么，你们都会支持我，你们总是保容我的任性。 家是我最温暖的依靠。爸爸妈妈，谢谢你们。 (Dad and Mum, I feel I’m so fortunate to have you by my side. From when I was…
Hsin Yeow’s Thoughts: 甜甜的 (Sweetness) Performing at Gladys and Quee Tiong’s wedding was, in a word, sweet. First, the songs they picked were mostly light-hearted and bubbly (e.g. 爱爱 (Love Love), Love Paradise, 甜蜜蜜 (Honey Sweet), 今天你要嫁给我 (You’re Going to Marry Me Today), I Do (Cherish You), 小酒窝 (Small Dimples)), perfect for an acoustic setting. Second, Gladys’ friends prepared a special video just for her, to celebrate their friendship. They obviously put in a lot of effort; apart from heartfelt…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Full Speed Ahead The year 2009 is off to a rollicking start as Bevlyn gears up for her second album (her first full-length one, depending on which way you look at it), under the record label S2S. All I can get out of Bevlyn is that she’s busy preparing and recording for it now. Watch this space for more news on upcoming album tracks and release date. On 3 Feb, Bevlyn held an outdoor concert at the…
Dear couples, Many of you don’t know where to start when it comes to selecting songs for your own wedding. Well, here’s a handy list for you. We spent countless hours culling the titles from the songs we’ve recommended in our blog over the years. But this list is merely the tip of the iceberg. If you engage us for your wedding, you’ll have access to a list of over 340 titles that’s growing by the week! Happy listening! Bishan
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,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Grow Old With You Joan described how she met Denis so vividly, I was transported back to “1997 at Coffee Bean (Boat Quay) on a Friday.” In her own words, “It’s always Friday where I’ll drive there after class and have coffee with friends. Denis too, will do the same. Funny thing is that, he will always sit outdoor and I’m always indoors enjoying the air-con. So, we noticed each other through the glass panels and that’s…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: When I’m 80 I’d love to be in Alexis’s shoes when his wife, Joanne, said to him, “Thank you for being my everything. When you proposed, I said yes because I knew you’re a good person, and that you’d take good care of me for the rest of my life.” It was such an honest delivery I couldn’t help but be touched. Alexis was so moved he could not speak but he pumped his fist up in…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Love Will Find A Way Who says geeks don’t get the girls? The story goes that Wilson, being the brightest guy in the class, was greatly admired by many. One of his admirers included Dew, who was foundering in her studies. In a bid to get better grades, Dew sought Wilson’s help. In the course of helping Dew, Wilson, naturally, asked her out on a date. Quid pro quo. Nonetheless, Dew should be credited for adding colour…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: 誓约 (Vow) First off, I have to say that Choon Khai spoiled the market. Here’s what he did in preparation for his wedding: 1. Thought of springing a surprise on Kelly for the big day… 2. The surprise was not easy: he penned a piece of lyrics to express his commitment and love for Kelly 3. Attempted to pick up keyboard-playing from scratch in hope of playing the song for her on the wedding day. Having witnessed his…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: Close To You Shumei and Junhow booked the band close to one year ago, and frankly, I am always very touched by couples who try to secure a band early because it shows the importance they place on live music, much like other popular wedding services like photography/videography/bridal studio packages etc. On the evening itself, it warmed my heart to realise it was the couple’s intention to keep everything cosy and simple, like a simple family and close…
