Joan & Martin's Wedding @ Sheraton Towers

Photobucket
Jon on keys, Kewei on vox, Ivan on sax

Once again, we're very pleased with the excellent performance by yourself and your members. A big shout of thanks! It really added a magical touch to the entire evening

Thanks and warmest regards,
Martin and Joan




Joan & Martin called only one week before their wedding,
and confirmed the booking very soon after :)

Their wedding celebration was filled with song and laughter,
their brother-in-law had gamely volunteered to sing a duet with myself, 爱的正好,
and also a medley of When I Fall In Love, 月亮代表我的心 and You Raise Me Up :)

A good friend of Joan's also took to the stage with
a sing&strum version of Household of Faith,
complete with lyrics projected onto the screen;
which made the song so much more meaningful :)

Martin also surprised Joan with her favourite song - Ryan Cabrera's True,
and halfway through the song Joan joined him onstage, already in tears :)

I have such a soft spot for such a scenario, I nearly cried too! oh dear...

Joan even joined him in singing the last chorus,
her voice choking;
it was a beautiful moment :)

Jimmy & Felicia's Wedding @ Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa

Long rectangular tables lined with tall candles,
bathed in multi-coloured lights -
such was the grand Harry Potter-esque ballroom that their wedding was held in :)

The celebration was lovingly titled
"Of Mirth, Of Pomp & Of Revelling" :)

Jimmy and Felicia's first march-in was also timed perfectly
to their favourite song Gorecki by Lamb,
a cult classic.

After which Jimmy took to the stage and serenaded for Felicia :)
I Wanna Grow Old With You...

We performed jazz classics,
and also songs they loved -
You and Me Song by the Wannadies and
Linger by the Cranberries :)

Sandra & Thomas's Wedding @ Singapore Art Museum

Photobucket
Leon on vocals, Gavin on sax, Kewei on vocals, Einein on keys

This cosy wedding (with less than 20 tables) was an enjoyable, intimate affair,
kudos to the emcee who made a great effort to interact with the audience! :)

We had a great time,
and this was the first time Leon (Project Superstar Season 1 Finalist) sang with us!

We also sang Come What May from the movie Moulin Rouge for Thomas,
which was a surprise song dedication from Sandra;
she specially tasked us to read out this message -

"This is a special song for the both of us as it was the first romance movie we saw together. As one part of the lyrics sang:
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time.

We know that it's a new journey for both of us and let's try our best to work on it together till the end of time."

I absolutely love this song,
and it was great singing it for the first time with Leon :)
