tanya – A Little Dream Live Band | SG Corporate Wedding Celebrations

Gavin and Diana, 3 Oct 2010, Gallery Ballroom, Traders Hotel

3 October 2010

Tanya’s thoughts: 家后 (Queen Of The House) It was surprises galore on the night of Gavin’s and Diana’s big day. Gavin prepared a special number, 家后 dedicated to both the couple’s parents. His smooth vocals shone through and the audience were thoroughly thrilled with his performance. The night’s climax had to be during the yam seng ceremony..Halfway through, just before the third toast, the emcee who was also part of the troop of brothers, announced (very impishly) that the brothers…

Agnes and Zai, 2 Oct 2010, MEGU, Singapore Flyer

2 October 2010

Uncategorized

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: From This Moment I was overjoyed when I received Agnes’ feedback. Indeed my aim is not to come across like a hired vendor when I take on additional duties as a host. I want to sound like I have known the couple for years. Agnes and Zai made it easy for me too, by sharing with me details of their relationship. They also sang a duet – From This Moment. Zai had already demonstrated his singing prowess…

Lawrence and Jasmine, 18 Sep 2010, Canning Ballroom, Swissotel The Stamford (Wedding Live Band)

18 September 2010

Swissotel Stamford

Tanya’s Thoughts: Lady In Red Opening the night of celebrations was literally a ‘small’ surprise planned by Lawrence and Jasmine, where they had little flower girls and page boys do a march-in ahead of them. It was also the largest contingent of brothers that we’ve ever seen – all 13 of them, lending their support to the groom in his early morning efforts to pick up the bride. Impressive! And they were in top form again at night, as demonstrated in the…

Kelvin and Joanne, 12 Sep 2010, Orchard Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

12 September 2010

Orchard Hotel Singapore

Tanya’s thoughts: Amazed The highlight of the night was definitely Kelvin’s performance of Amazed. I think he definitely made some jaws drop with his powerful singing. Kelvin also presented Joanne with a huge bouquet of red roses at the end of the song. What a romantic! Band: Jerome, Tanya, Adeline and Fabian L-R: Tanya, Adeline, Joanne, Kelvin, Fabian, JeromeRepertoire: From This Moment (1st March in), Love Story, For The First Time, Angels Brought Me Here, You’re Still The One, My…

Bee Chin and Kian Meng, 11 Sep 2010, Venus Ballroom, Furama Riverfront (Wedding Live Band)

11 September 2010

Furama Riverfront Hotel

Tanya’s thoughts: Grow Old With You Henry struck me as a stoic and devoted guy and when he told us about his and Bee Chin’s love story, the impression he left was indellible. He emphasised how his wife is his family’s main pillar of support when he was tied up with work commitments and how accommodating she is towards his needs. This wedding, in his words, ‘is mainly for her’. Though Henry seemed a wee bit nervous before the dinner started,…

Joshua and Bijun, 25 Jul 2010, Sheraton Towers (Wedding Live Band)

25 July 2010

Sheraton Towers

Tanya’s thoughts: 夜上海 (Night In Shanghai) Although there was no specifically mentioned theme for Joshua and Bijun’s wedding, it was apparent the moment we arrived at the foyer area. There was small trishaw tucked in a little corner and guests were taking photos in it. On the tables were some decorative items such as the old-styled Chinese umbrellas and paper fans! The ballroom was resplendent with the bright red hues and decorative red lanterns. Yes, it seemed to be ‘Shanghai…

Nelson and Jennifer, 3 Jul 2010, Jupiter Ballroom, Furama Riverfront (Wedding Live Band)

Ivan and Wynnie, 26 Jun 2010, Atrium Suites, Mandarin Oriental (Wedding Live Band)

26 June 2010

Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: The Perfect Year Sparks didn’t fly when Ivan and Wynnie first met each other. In Ivan’s words, she was “just another girl at the office.” As both were against office romances, their relationship never developed beyond the confines of the office. But all that changed when Ivan decided to leave the company. Before he did, he plucked up his courage, downed a few (kidding) and asked Wynnie out for supper one night. That one chance he took…

Junie and Teng Chun, 20 Jun 2010, Mercury Room, Furama Riverfront (Wedding Live Band)

Dave and Priscilla, 29 May 2010, York Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

29 May 2010

Uncategorized

Tanya’s thoughts: Especially For You It was a really sweet gesture from the aunt of the bride to hire us to sing at Dave and Priscilla’s wedding. The selection of songs went down well with the guests and from the feedback and applause, they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. We were touched by the hospitality and concern that the couple’s relatives had for us, ensuring that we were comfortable and well taken care of. When the couple made their speech,…

Chun How and Wan Zhi, 23 May 2010, Panorama Room, Hilton (Wedding Live Band)

23 May 2010

Hilton Hotel

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Lovers Concerto First dates can be horrifying. You’re trying your best to impress, make small talk, and show your date that it’s worthwhile to meet up again. Chun How thought he blew it when he couldn’t tear open a teabag no matter how hard he tried. Red-faced, he summoned a waiter, who – thankfully – faced the same problem and replaced the offensive sachet. Little episodes like these make a courtship so memorable. To entertain their guests,…

Julius and Joan, 15 May 2010, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

15 May 2010

Four Seasons

Tanya’s thoughts: Two Words There was no better way for Julius and Joan to hold their wedding celebration than to have a luxurious banquet for their guests at the lush and magnificent ballroom of Four Seasons hotel. The couple’s attention to detail was painstaking and no efforts from them were spared in ensuring that the guests were comfortable and having a good time; from their choice of the banquet menu to individually customised wedding favours. The highlight of the evening…

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…

Steven and Chei Phin, 24 Jan 2010, Mercury Ballroom, Furama Riverfront (Wedding Live Band)

24 January 2010

Furama Riverfront Hotel

Tanya’s Thoughts: 但愿人长久 (Eternal Love) Steven and Chei Pin had a very warm and cosy wedding dinner celebration. The photo montage that took us through their childhood to their adult years and shots of them together had some poignant moments, and showed how their endearing love story finally led to a happily-after-ending. The highlight of the night’s events had to be the food presentation. When the music played and fanciful lights came on, the doors opened and everyone probably pretty much…

Shijun and Nelly, 16 Jan 2010, Stamford Ballroom, Swissotel The Stamford (Wedding Live Band)

16 January 2010

Swissotel Stamford

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Twelfth Of Never Nelly and Ruoying (Shijun’s sister) were roommates in University. When Shijun, who was studying in the same University, wanted to get to know Nelly better, naturally he sought the help of Ruoying. According to Shijun, the process wasn’t so smooth. Rouying advised him against it, saying, “Don’t go after Nelly!” (Do note that when Shijun was telling me the story, he had a mischievous glint in his eye.) Ruoying, bless her, did help to…

Adele and Leok Lim, 3 Jan 2010, Straits Room, Fullerton Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

3 January 2010

Fullerton

Tanya’s thoughts: 至少还有你 (At Least There Is You) Adele and Leok Lim’s wedding was a cosy and intimate affair among relatives and close friends. The joy was apparent on the beaming and excited faces of guests who turned up to join in the celebrations. What particularly struck a chord in our hearts that night was the speech given by the groom – it was heartfelt, sincere and poignant. We then learnt that due to a very unfortunate turn of events,…

Emily and Marc, 21 Nov 09, Mandarin Court, Meritus Mandarin (Wedding Live Band)

21 November 2009

Mandarin Orchard Singapore

Cheryl’s Thoughts: Fallen A wedding marks a new beginning for the couple involved. For me, Marc & Emily’s wedding also marked a new experience for me, as it was my first time playing with Melvin, as well as accompanying Sofyan and Tanya, who were very smooth as both the singers and the emcees for the night. It was also my first time at the Mandarin Ballroom at the Meritus Mandarin, and believe me when I say that the ballroom deserves…

James and Kelly, 15 Nov 09, Poolside, Amara Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

15 November 2009

Amara Sanctuary

Tanya’s thoughts: From This Moment James and Kelly had a simple but cosy and heart-warming ROM ceremony on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon, at an outdoor wooden pavillion by the poolside. Kelly looked stunning and James was suave in an all-white ensemble. The excitement was clearly written all over the faces of the guests as they streamed in before the commencement of the ceremony. The Justice of Peace was not only humourous and dishing out words of wisdom to…

Shawn and Sherrie, 7 Nov 09, Grand Salon, The Sentosa Resort and Spa (Wedding Live Band)

7 November 2009

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: All I Want Is You The lyrics of “All I Want Is You” kept ringing in my head after Shawn and Sherrie’s exuberant wedding celebration. Shawn serenaded his lovely bride Sherrie with this song, and even prepared a special video (with the song lyrics running in the background) which was played during his surprise performance. If I was a flower growing wild and free All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee. And if…
