Subject: Thank you, and more thank you!


Hello Kewei,

This is the Yeo couple here. :) We just wanna thank you for the beautiful music on our wedding (27 Feb). All our guests were full of praises for your band. We even had a few of our engaged friends asking about your band’s contact. Hope it will bring more biz to you guys. :)


Also, thank you specially for singing Le Festin during the 1st dish presentation. We love the way you made it your song, even though you were hesitant to sing it initially. Thank you so much. An even bigger thank you for the beautiful portrayal of “You are still the one”. The song meant a lot to us, and it was simply magical to walk down the aisle with your singing.


Lastly, thank you for entertaining our guests with the song dedications. Our wedding was definitely made special by your band. Keep on spreading love with your music!


Cheers!
Gillan & Kelly

p.s. here are some pretty pics of the night. Thanks for wearing red to suit our theme. You guys look gorgeous!






Gillan and Kelly booked myself long ago, after hearing my set at Indochine Waterfront :)
They put in so much effort in their wedding, I felt extra special to be part of their big day!
And I must say this: Kelly you are gorgeeoeooouuusss!!!

Firstly it was a themed Gala Red Carpet Affair, so we dressed for the theme!

Trusty Live Studios also had a live feed of photos on projector screens,
and guests could sign on their polaroids digitally and print them out on the spot!

Gillan and Kelly also designed their own personalised dedication cards, even though we prepared our Yours Truly brand of dedication slips for them :)

They were the sweetest - they also created a special tribute for their parents:
collage of their photos of their early dating years, to marriage, to their blissful family life
:)
*melts into a puddle*

It was a first for me, and I am going to steal their idea for my own wedding! haha...



Their good friend gamely sang Sway for their 1st March In, and
they selected Le Festin from Ratatouille as their 1st Dish Song!

This was an interesting suggestion for me, and I thought it was PERFECT.




The arrangement of the music, the soaring voices, the authentic French ambience it created for the feast to come was droolsome!

And yes, as Gillan and Kelly mentioned, I was hesitant to sing it at first because I didn't think just the piano and I could bring out the feel of the song - plus the French was quite a mouthful!

But I learnt it in the end, and am glad it worked! :)

Photobucket

Kelly dedicated a special song 不了情to her friend Yunjing, "who sang this to me even before any guys did!"
and to my pleasant surprise Yunjing replied with a request for 新不了情,"which we will sing for the next 15 years to come..."

It made the gesture of song dedication extra special, and it made my night as a wedding singer :)

thank you so much gillan and kelly, the yeo couple!
you have made my job such a pleasure, and i thank you for inspiring me again on how beautiful a celebration a wedding dinner can be :)

you have been the sweetest, and i'm glad to have been part of your big day, thank you for allowing me to be part of it! :)

It was a lovely afternoon at Tan Tock Seng Hospital,
I performed with James on the white baby grand piano,
awash with sunlight from the sunroof,
to appreciative patients and staff from TTSH :)

Jiahan and Lynn's wedding @ Orchard Parade Hotel

Photobucket

From left to right:
Kexin on vox, Jiahan and Lynn the happy couple!, and ein on keys :)

One thing i like about small ballrooms is that
there is always room for a rowdy and heartwarming crowd :)

Friends and relatives were really enthusiastic about the band
An eager relative that flew in from indonesia even requested
to sing the classic song, "bangawan solo" in indonesian!

Photobucket

Photobucket

once again the lovely couple marched in
to the sounds of the us singing
"when I fall in love" and "l.o.v.e"
a perfect mix of romanticism and light-hearted joy!

Joseph & Weileng's Wedding @ Noble House, UIC Building

Weileng was a gorgeous bride who remided me of Felicia Chin and Taiwanese artiste Ah Bao!

They were a lovely couple who had asked me to "work my magic" for them, for their 3rd march in.
This was the 1st time everyone clapped along to their march-in - L-O-V-E!

For their 1st march in, they played a lovely version of Canon in D,
and for their 2nd march in, a Rawwwkk! version of Canon in D!

It was also the 1st time during champagne popping that every table had a champagne bottle to pop along with the groom!
The more the merrier!

Little ideas which made the night even more special :)

The sweet couple even met Ginny again after the dinner to give us a token and a lovely little card!

Thank YOU both, for allowing us to be part of your big day!

Awaiting pictures of their big night :)

It was a cosy room with 10 couples,
and we sang the most romantic songs we could think of -
Loving You...
My Valentine...

and received dedications from the couples to each other :)
Saccharine sweet!

Peggy and Paul's Wedding @ Goodwood Park Hotel

Photobucket

Hi Kewei,
Please thank the band again for a wonderful night of music :) They were great and really helped to make it such a special night.
Best Regards,
Paul and Peggy

Photobucket

I've heard that this Lunar Year is a great year for couples to get married, and what better way to start of the maritally auspicious Year of the Ox than with a romantic Valentine's Day wedding.

Peggy was escorted down the isle by her father to 'Like a Star' covered 'live' by Yours Truly, after which Paul & Peggy married in a simple but soulful Baha'i ceremony.

The Baha'is believe that marriage connects a couple eternally - which might just be long enough for the beautiful couple!

The second march-in was a simple 'Over the Rainbow', surely representative of how the couple was feeling that night.

For the first dance, the couple moved their feet to 'Two Sleepy People', while the rest of the evening comprised songs like It's Crazy, S'Wonderful, and The Way You Look Tonight... all classic and classy songs that kept the understated romantic mood going.

Special mention to the Best Man, Tony, for the best speech of the night,
and our very best to Paul & Peggy down under!
