Sheena and Eric, 7 July 07, Garden Suite, Oriental Hotel
Hsin Yeow's thoughts: Every Day I Love You
I was extremely flattered to receive Sheena's call, because she was a sales coordinator of a 5-star hotel. Which means that weddings are her business. She said she heard us at one of the weddings she coordinated, and remembered us again when she was flipping through an issue of Her World Brides while planning her own.
Sheena probably agrees with me that piped-in music just won't cut it, especially if you wish to create that romantic and relaxed atmosphere for a wedding.
Eric and Sheena
From her years of experience, Sheena needed no help in choosing her wedding songs. Her list had songs that everyone could relate to, including Mandarin evergreens like 但愿人长久 (May All Live Well And Long), and romantic classics like Can't Help Falling In Love.
All I had to do was to assemble the best musicians I could find on 7 July. Jonathan Ang and Jonathan Lim fit the bill perfectly. Their confident and creative playing breathed new life into chestnuts like Moon River and Close To You, both of which had decidedly funkier arrangements than the originals.
When our performance ended, I went to thank Sheena's aunt, Mrs Tan, who clapped enthusiastically after every song. She was seated right in front of us, and her beaming face was reason enough for me to continue singing for many years to come.

Wedding Tip:
Choose songs that the majority of your guests can recognise, and don't stick to one language or genre
Compliments from the couple:
Hsin Yeow and team has really done a great job for our wedding at Oriental. Received excellent feedback from our guests!
Only regret was that we were not able to really enjoy their singing as we were so busy that evening...:(
Hsin Yeow, maybe you can consider recording your songs on every occasion and give it to your couples as memento!
Oh, he's a good emcee too! :)
