Pauleon & Cailing's Wedding @ Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Kexin on Vox

Daniel on Guitar

Pauleon & Cailing's wedding dinner was a BLAST!

Dedications kept coming in, the guests were crazy and most importantly, they loveee seeing the couple make a fool out of themselves on stage! hahah

SABO 1: Pauleon to sing lang hua yi duo duo for Cailing

Daniel gamely played the song and Pauleon was making up words as he sang along to the tune. At the end of the song, a lil' boy decided to come and stage and Pauleon asked what he wanted to sing. Somehow, the lil' boy led everyone into singing a worship song, along with daniel's accompaniment. It was truly a very touching moment listening to the whole ballroom resound with the heartfelt tune of "Great of our God".

SABO 2 & 3: Pauleon's cell group members gave him a choice between singing a duet with Cailing and dancing along to Wondergirls' "Nobody".

The guests ultimately came up with a collective decision to make him do both!

The highlight came when Pauleon got his friends on stage to teach him the cutesy steps to the chorus of "Nobody"!

I must say these wonderboys were fantastic, perhaps even sexier than the wondergirls themselves!

Dedications were aplenty for the night..

i love how creative some of them can get...

*drumrolls* here comes my personal favourite...

(i couldn't bring myself to read it out loud hahaha)

THANK YOU Pauleon & Cailing..

God bless you and I wish you everlasting happiness (:

Official Launch of Great Singapore Sale 2010

Sam and Clarence, for the first time, performed at Orchard Road!
I mean, how often do we get to do that?


Samantha on vocals
Clarence on guitar

We were thrilled when we heard that we were going to be part of the opening of the Great Singapore Sale. With the opening of new malls like Somerset 313 and Ion Orchard, GSS 2010 definitely entails more than what we had in the previous years!

Despite the heat, we had a blast crooning to an enthusiastic crowd there, not to mention tourists dancing to our tunes. Singaporeans belong to the passive sort, so most of them just stared at the three caucasian babes as if they were crazy.

I say, we gotta loosen up people! it's time to SHOP till you DROP!

Kevin & Joan's Wedding @ Ritz Carlton

Kexin on Vox

Shawn on Drums

August on Piano

Colin on Double Bass

It wasn't my first time at the Ritz Carlton and i knew it was going to be fun with a full band's backing!

We were placed right on stage, facing a strong crowd of 70 tables..
With such a large crowd, it was only understandable that the bride & groom be swarmed by the buzzing atmosphere.. afterall, it is their night!

But what struck me particularly hard and made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside as a wedding singer was when i sang the song "Way Back into Love", dedicated by Kevin's brother.
I always made it a point to read out my messages when the couple is seated at their table so that they could feel the love from their friends & family members.
But i had never met any groom half as sweet as Kevin! He literally shifted his chair to face me and smiled so hard throughout the song i swear i couldn't see his eyes! hahaha

That, really really made me feel very touched ((:


Everybody loves a bit of shanghai jazz!


Thank you Kevin & Joan for being soo accommodating,
I'm glad I was part of your great day ((:
Wishing you happiness always!

Hong Meng & Yan Bing's Wedding Lunch @ Four Seasons Hotel

Ivan on Saxophone

Kexin on Vox

James on Piano

It was a lovely lunch affair at the Four Seasons Hotel (:

Pretty floral decor for a perfect sunday afternoon...

Flower bouquets on the VIP tables (:

The couple must have been fans of instrumental music for they had specially requested for "Say Yes" by Chage & Aska, to be played by the piano & saxophone only, during their first march-in (:

The band and I also performed a spiritually uplifting song, Love's funny that Way by Tina Arena to accompany their video montage.

Thank you Hong Meng & Yan Bing for the wonderful afternoon!

p.s: we love your strawberry bar! haha

Love,
Shawn and Faylene

Blog Comment by guest Rum:

Hey Peeps!

I was there at Shawn & Faylene's wedding and was truly enjoying the music that you guys and gals are bringing to us!! Keep it going!! =)

HELLO to all things dreamy and perfect, hello once again to the joys of wedding singing, happy faces, gorgeous couples and heartfelt eardrum-bursting YUMSENGS,
I am finally back after 5 months of psuedo-studying/holidaying in the states!

Just when i thought i had lost that special touch to wedding singing,
the night at Shawn & Faylene's wedding brought me right back on track!
The audience was soo appreciative that they applauded almost after every song,
some even sang along enthusiatically (I remember it was a lady from Table 10!) and that really made my night (:


check out the romantic spotlight

The song choice for the march-in was also one of the coolest i've ever done before,
but of course i am being biased because i am an absolute Robin Thicke fan!

His smothering sexy voice sizzles up the song like none-other, so here you go, the first march-in song for the night; The Sweetest Love


The next march-in song was yet another tune by the sexy Diana Krall, S'Wonderful

It was truly a wonderful night with the great band (: It's amazing how a guitar, a bass and a keyboard can make magic and for that one and half hour, i was immersed in pure musical bliss.

Pardon me for being overly emotional but wedding singing is a passion that i had not been in touch with for wayy too long!

So a BIGG THANK YOU Shawn and Faylene for having me on your wedding night (:

More to come and I'm lovin' it!

Matthew & Nyx's Wedding @ Sheraton Towers

Dawn and Leon on vox
Ein on keys

I was really glad to be part of Matthew & Nyx's wedding, I must say they are a tall tall couple.

We performed on a separate stage with Ein Ein on Keyboard, Dawn & Myself on Vocals.

It was my 4th time performing at Sheraton Towers for a wedding but I must say everyone of them are unique to itself, the couple had decided to share with the guests a list of pre-selected songs that represented their romantic evening.

The couple performed "Come What May" to commence the nights dinning. Thereafter, we performed "All I Ask of you" from the Phantom of Opera which is really a wonderful number.

Nyx surprised the guests as well as the audience with her version of "Nobody but you" dance with her sisters which really lighten up the crowd.

Of course the band did not forget the classic "Moon over my heart", "Forever Love", "I'm Yours" etc ...

They look so beautiful together, a Lawyer & a Speech Therapist ... I can only foresee them having wonderful years ahead waiting for them!

Thank you Matthew & Nxy and wishing you always loving!

Cheers,
Leon

Patrick & Elle's Wedding @ Windsor Ballroom, Goodwood Park Hotel

Kewei on vox,
Daniel on guitar
James on bass
Shawn on drums

Patrick really wanted me to sing for his wedding, and luckily another event was called off so I could be available for his big night! He was very appreciative of the band, and thanked us during his speech, that I always am very grateful for!

He had left his songlist in my hands, so I took the liberty to pick some songs that were less common - some party tunes like Copacabana by Barry Manilow, and sweet pop stuff like Your Body is A Wonderland by John Mayer.

Especially since he engaged a full band with drums, I could really rock those groovy tunes!

We also specially sung the favourite Hokkien classic 家后, and even sung it one more time during the encore!

Would also like to thank Jeremy especially for taking such great care of us! :)

Silvia & Philip's Wedding @ Marina Mandarin

Kewei on vox
Einein on keys
Wah Yong on electric double-bass
Jeremy on percussion

I got to know Silvia from a while back, when she first came by Wala Wala to hear me :) She was very supportive of me, and I really wanted to sing for her wedding because she was such a darling! She even brought her parents down to Wala Wala another time to hear me sing!

Her Facebook photo comment made me laugh -

Kewei, EinEin, and the other band members were extremely professional and made beautiful music~! They are the best!!!...I have a crush on Kewei and EinEin =)

As usual my schedule was a nightmare, and I couldn't be sure of my availability to sing at her wedding until weeks before the actual day, when I finally could finally confirm!

Her chosen songlist also included songs from KEEP! (Kewei & Einein EP) and I think that must be the 1st time anyone has chosen our originals to be part of their wedding songlist :)

We gamely sang our duet for her - here's the official music video :)


The couple also sang for their 1st March-In, a lovely song called PS.我爱你by A-Lin, and Silvia also prepared a Japanese song as a gift, to be sung after her speech.



Before the wedding she was really nervous, and kept telling me that she might cry, or she might not be able to sing the song well, and I should probably just skip that bit should she not want to sing blah blah blah ... NERVES!

But it was beautiful that day, and she sang the song as planned - it was perfect in every way!
It's such a nice song, called Yubiwa.

We prepared for a dance segment nearing the end of the dinner - but knowing the Chinese crowd, we eased them in with a slow dance with When I Fall in Love...
with Silvia and Philip leading the dance!





After which the crowd was unstoppable! As we carried on with cha-cha beats!





We played our best and really enjoyed the night as well :)

I wsh you both to stay as strong and loving as you have over the past decade of long-distance dating! ^_^


PS. They even set up a cute photo station at the reception for everyone to take photos!


PPS. And had really delish chocolates as reception favours! (i can't remember where they're from!!)
