Ken & Michelle got one of our best band combinations with our multi-talented Ywenna & Jee Yon – Ywenna to sing and play the piano, and Jee Yon to sing and double up as bilingual wedding emcee! L-R: Ywenna (vocals & piano), Michelle & Ken, Jee Yon (vocals & emcee) Villa Halia is tucked in a splendid part of the Botanical Gardens, easily accessible to the public. As we walk along to the sights of the lush green, we suddenly…

Judy’s Thoughts: Time Of My Life It was my first time performing at the Villa Halia, and I thought was really unconventional. Some guests were seated indoors in the main restaurant area while some were outside where the main area was. Even though the guests were separated, the ones indoors could what was going on outside through the wonders of technology – live feed on a huge projection screen. I thought it was pretty funky to have a wedding dinner in such a setting. …
Imelda’s thoughts: 小夫妻 (Little Couple) Villa Halia was one of the venues I had considered for my own wedding. Nestled in the middle of the Ginger Gardens at Singapore Botanic Gardens, this rustic restaurant was indeed a perfect place to have a cosy wedding party. Even though I didn’t have my wedding at Villa Halia eventually, I’m glad I was invited to perform for Nick and Cherry at this very venue. Thanks Veron (of Edmund Leong Photography) for sending us…
Hui Bing’s Thoughts: Love In The First Degree If I can describe Kenneth & Joanne’s wedding in three words, it will be Full, Fun and Fantastic. Full as we had a fuller band accompanying me and Jerome that night – Jixiang on guitar, Ivan on sax and Shawn on percussion. The music from this dynamic trio in black was as tight as a button, perfect for the disco and uptempo songs that the couple has selected. I didn’t know that…
Jixiang’s Thoughts: Vitamins of Love This was my first time performing at the Villa Halia. I really like the relaxed, romantic setting where the Wine Bar, the Courtyard and the Gallery Room are surrounded by an oasis of serenity and foliage. The highlights of the evening’s programme (other than the Solemnisation Ceremony itself) must be when Daryl sang to his lovely bride and when Daryl and Mei Yan slow danced to the band’s The Way You Look Tonight.…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: What A Wonderful World David and Jolene’s wedding left a deep impression on me, and here’s why: 1 – We had one special song request from one of the guests soon after we started singing – “(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons”. He even asked Jolene to get the guitar tabs from us the next day! 2 – Jolene loves the Mandarin classic 夜来香 (Fragrance In The Night) so much that she requested us to perform it twice!…
