Yours Truly had the pleasure of playing for Armand & Daphne at the impeccable Traders Hotel where the lovely couple had a very personal celebration to mark their journey as husband and wife.

The second of 3 trans-continental weddings, the Singapore party was a befitting cross between traditional and modern elements.

Guests from Malaysia, Australia and even Germany were in attendance, as a testament to the couple's friendships.
To complete the occasion, Daniel (guitar), Ein Ein (keyboard) and I (Vox) played from the couple's wish list, which read like the most romantic love songs of modern music, including a special dedication to the Bride's best friends - a solo version of the Mandarin duet "Ni Zui Zhen Gui".

But it as the march in song that made the night truly special. As per the couple's request, our band put together a rendition of hawaiian singer Daniel Ho's original composition, simply entitled "I Do".

It was a clean piece with meaningful lyrics that were surely representative of the couple's mutual love and we were proud to be able to make it happen for them.

Thank you Armand & Daphne!


From Armand and Daphne:

Hi Ginny,

I just want to drop a note to say a big Thank You to Dawn, Ein Ein and Daniel. They did a fantastic job at our Wedding Reception at Traders Hotel on the 1st of May 2009. It was truly magical having to walk in to the gorgeous voice of Dawn singing "I do" composed by Daniel Ho. Armand and I fell in love with that song and we knew exactly that was what we wanted for our march in and the band exceeded our expectations on how they have arranged the composition.

Throughout that evening, the band entertained our guests with wonderful jazz and contemporary tunes. Our guests said having the band contributed to the cosy intimate atmosphere and it stood out from other weddings they have attended. I am also impressed with how they have worked with my best friends when they decided to throw a surprise song presentation.

A huge thank you also to you Ginny for taking the time out to meet with us (on our rushed schedule during our whirlwind planning trips to SG/KL) and the countless emails and advice you have given us. We really appreciate the band going the extra mile so that our wedding can be even more special.

Certainly when we have other gatherings and functions, Yours Truly will be on the top of our minds to have or to recommend to our family and friends!

Kind Regards,
Armand and Daphne
