song to recommend – Page 4 – A Little Dream Live Band

Eileen and Vincent, 18 Apr 2010, Mandarin Ballroom, Meritus Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

18 April 2010

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Unchained Melody In spite of performing regularly, I sometimes do get butterflies in my stomach, and wonder if the guests would like our music. So I was delighted when Eileen and Vincent’s wedding guests responded so warmly to us. Warm applause followed after every song; one guest even stood up and smiled while clapping! I have to thank Eileen and Vincent for choosing a great list of classic love songs and jazz standards that had something for…

Soo Tin and Boo Song, 30 Mar 2010, Qianxi Restaurant (Wedding Live Band)

30 March 2010

Qianxi

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 真的爱你 (I Really Love You) Soo Tin and Boo Song were colleagues. As Soo Tin had joined the firm earlier, she was the one who showed Boo Song the ropes. In the course of doing so, love blossomed. Even though the couple were solemnised 6 years ago, they were in no hurry to hold the wedding dinner reception. But when they did, Soo Tin felt there was one element she could not do without – live music.…

Eric and Josephine, 27 Mar 2010, Straits Room, Fullerton (Wedding Live Band)

27 March 2010

Fullerton

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Angels Brought Me Here Eric’s poem was the work of genius (see below). Ariel’s singing was heavenly, and Matthew was a happy camper. More details to come soon! “I’m told that a secret of marriage And for us men a good rule of thumb Is whenever you’re wrong just admit it And on the rare times you’re right, just stay dumbThe photos being taken today I am finding a bit of a strain It’s tough when you’re…

Casey and Adrian, 20 Mar 2010, Hilton (Wedding Live Band)

20 March 2010

Hilton Hotel

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: When You Love A Woman Casey and Adrian heard us perform at the Grand Park City Hall’s wedding showcase last May, and engaged us for their wedding soon after. From the start, I could sense the couple’s sincerity, and I really looked forward to their wedding day. Several months later, I was getting ready with Serene and Ein Ein when Adrian came up to me and shyly thanked me for coming. It was our pleasure, really! When…

Coogan and Emily, 14 Mar 2010, Straits Room, Fullerton (Wedding Live Band)

14 March 2010

Fullerton

Serene’s thoughts: Never Knew Love Like This Before When we were preparing for the 1st March-in. James whispered to me that the host looked kinda familiar. I looked toward the stage and realized “Oh! It’s Benedict Goh”. A friend of the groom, he shared with all of us all in the ballroom how the couple met. If I heard right, it was in a pub. I remembered thinking to myself then. Love, it is indeed a little funny thing. You…

Ben and Diana, 7 Mar 2010, Marriott (Wedding Live Band)

13 March 2010

Marriott Hotel Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Crazy Love I met Ben and Diana at the reception area outside the ballroom. There was still some time before the start of the lunch reception, so Ben told me how he fell in love with Diana. The story was so brief, yet it cracked me up. This was what he said. Ben and Diana met at a group outing. There were more group outings after that, but fewer and fewer came. Until there were just the…

Jess and John, 28 Feb 2010, Noble House (Wedding Live Band)

28 February 2010

Uncategorized

Junxiong’s thoughts: 我们的爱 (Our Love) Getting married on the 15th day of first month in lunar year is definitely a golden choice that most Asians will look forward to for their Big Day. This is because apart from being the Lantern Festival (元宵节), the 15th of Lunar month is also treated as the Eastern Valentine’s Day (东方情人节). And this is precisely the auspicious date where our lucky and cheerful couple, John and Jess, tied their knot! According to Jess’s sister,…

Yvonne and Tony, Zhen Cai and Chun Yan, 28 Feb 2010, Peony-Jade (Wedding Live Band)

28 February 2010

Peony Jade Clarke Quay

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 花好月圆夜 (Beautiful Night) There’s a Chinese saying called 双喜临门, which means “double happiness at your door”. This was certainly the case for the wedding lunch reception I performed at on 28 Feb. For the very first time in my performing career, I performed for not one, but two wedding couples. Yvonne and Zhen Cai are siblings, and although they were got engaged on separate dates, they chose to hold their wedding reception on the same day. Zhen…

Ben and Linda, 6 Feb 2010, Grand Salon, The Sentosa Resort & Spa (Wedding Live Band)

6 February 2010

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 天天想你 (Thinking Of You Every Day) Ben didn’t have an easy time winning Linda’s heart. Being Linda’s personal chauffeur didn’t work. Apparently Ben bought his first car to pick Linda up from school and send her to work on time. It took Ben at least three tries before Linda agreed to be his girlfriend. God knows how many times Ben proposed, but suffice it to say, he didn’t succeed the first time. Nevertheless, Ben persisted because he…

Calista and Johann, 6 Feb 2010, St Regis (Wedding Live Band)

6 February 2010

St Regis

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: You Mean The World To Me You never know what you might gain from a road trip with friends. For Johann, it was the opportunity to be in close contact with the lovely Calista, who stole Johann’s heart. Hartono, Johann’s childhood friend who introduced Calista to Johann, was understandably ectastic. He had so much to say he didn’t need a script at all, as words came spilling out of him. “I’m not surprised that Johann fell for…

Chye Lee and Lijie, 30 Jan 2010, Crescent Ballroom, Four Seasons Candiceloo89@gmail.com

30 January 2010

Four Seasons

Bevlyn’s thoughts: 恋爱ing I’d performed countless times at Four Seasons hotel, but it was actually my first time at the Crescent ballroom. Finally!! It is a smaller ballroom compared to the main one, but the size made the wedding even more cosy and intimate. Guests were greeted by a poster made by one of the ‘brothers’: The band was located just 2 arms’ lengths away from Chye Lee and Lijie and we really liked that. Why? When Junxiong was singing…

Paurene and Benjamin, 23 Jan 2010, The Sentosa Resort & Spa (Wedding Live Band)

23 January 2010

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Bevlyn’s thoughts: Crazy Little Thing Called Love Word has it that after Paurene and Benjamin got to know each other, Benjamin had a habit of waiting at a certain traffic light to catch sight of Paurene (and probably to pretend bumping into her). Yes, everytime under hot sunlight. I suppose this is the Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The emcees Gary and Su-Zan lightened up the atmosphere with their wits and chemistry. Though strong as a team, they could not…

Ray and Pauline, 23 Jan 2010, Holiday Inn Atrium (Wedding Live Band)

23 January 2010

Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium

Jerome’s Thoughts: 一见你就笑 (I Smile When I See You) I believe in loving someone for who they really are… Ray believes in that too, and Pauline is the lucky woman in his life. Ray showed his emotional side when he teared slightly during the gate-crashing session, and during his speech for the guests. He was truly overwhelmed, and deep down inside, I am sure that he feels very lucky to be able to marry Pauline. We rendered a numbers of…

Carlson and Cabell, 21 Jan 2010, Mandarin Oriental (Wedding Live Band)

21 January 2010

Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Serene’s thoughts: This Is It Carlson and Cabell had a very unique march-in. Five couple friends, ladies all dressed in matching turquoise blue dresses, and the gentlemen, in black suits marched-in slowly, making a lovely entrance for the couple. I thought it was beautiful. Even more so with their choice of the march-in song “Only You” (by Sinead O’Connor), with such breathtakingly beautiful lyrics: My love, Your love Has opened up a world I’ve never known All hope, Was found…

Ben and Grace, 17 Jan 2010, Mandarin Ballroom, Meritus Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

17 January 2010

Mandarin Orchard Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 感动 (Touched) I get a thrill out of performing, that much is clear. But what really gets me going is when I know the songs I’m about to sing relate to a specific memory or highlight of the couple’s relationship. Ben and Grace were so forthcoming about their shared experiences and memories that, in a few short moments, I knew that “All My Life” was one of their favourite songs; 嫁给我 (Marry Me) was a song Ben…

Pauline and Kian Yong, 17 Jan 2010, Goodwood Park Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

17 January 2010

Goodwood Park Hotel

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: 爱情的魔力 (The Power of Love) When I arrived at the ballroom, I was welcome by a guy who looked familiar. It wasn’t until he introduced himself as Stefan and Cheryl, who tied the knots in Dec 2008, that the light bulb in my head lit up. In psychology, this is what I would call memory by pairing :p Kian Yong heard the band when we performed at Stefan’s wedding, and so he decided to get the band back…

Boon Pin and Mei, 16 Jan 2010, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

16 January 2010

Four Seasons

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…

Ivan and Levvinne, 10 Jan 2010, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

10 January 2010

Four Seasons

Hsin Yeow’s Thoughts: In This Life “Love conquers all.” This statement may sound trite when used to describe other couples, when in Ivan and Levvinne’s case, it fits. Ivan was struck by kidney disease a few years ago, right after they solemnised their marriage. The couple had to put their wedding reception plans on hold as Ivan battled the disease. Levvinne demonstrated true mettle as she stayed by Ivan’s side while he went for kidney dialysis thrice a week. When asked why…

Joyce and Jeng Yuan, 10 Jan 2010, Gallery Ballroom, Traders Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

10 January 2010

Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

Ariel’s thoughts: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You What makes a wedding dinner memorable? After performing at several weddings, I think I can make the following observations, which Joyce and Jeng Yuan had checked: 1. Make sure everyone is on the same page – Jeng Yuan and the hotel banquet IC took time off their busy schedules to brief the wedding band on the proceedings of the wedding dinner. This helped ensure that the wedding proceeded without a hitch. 2.…
