Michael & Jacqueline May 2012

I got a last min call from Wing and I contacted Michael straight.

I didn't realize until Wing told me that Michael is actually working one block away from my office.
That's convenient! I suggested to him that we meet at Old Town White Coffee.

There you go, he didn't say much in the meet up and I tried so many ways to dig more info. I asked him whether he can accept humour style, conventional style or formal style. He prefer conventional type, means no jokes, no fun games on the stage and I feel like he want to finish the event quietly. Weird.

I asked again what his wife would prefer. He took a long pause and told that she might prefer the dinner more lively, happening and fun.

"It'd be best if you can discuss with your wife and see which style you both would prefer. Some may like humour sense, some may like serious and no joke type or some may like fun. Better get an agreement." I suggested. 

I could sense that it would happen the bad cup cake experience to me again (in one of my those days events which I was told by groom to get the cupcakes by his bestman but the bride prefer the hotel guys to do it instead and put a blame on me). Sometimes we have to get to know who is the "real boss" behind the wedding event. If I discuss with the groom, but in fact the wife is the real boss, we would be in difficult situation if we didn't deliver what the "real boss" expected.

So few days before the event, I got to know that both of them in fact like some casual-humour style.

I met Jacq first time on the day. She is such a gorgeous and elegant bride. They have been dating for 8 years! Can you imagine?

" Jac is so beautiful. How can you keep Jacq waiting for 8 years?" I teased him on the stage.
" Why not?" he answered naughtily.





Haha...see, he can make some jokes on the stage.

Then Beat Music perform a dedicated song for couple's mothers in celebration for Mother's day and they took the chance to share the love to their moms. Aw...I felt touched.

Below is their testimonial:

Impressive! A performance nearly flawless from the band & emcee!
Limited time was given to Wing & Jess to prepare (very limited... ok, I approached them like a week prior the dinner) and still they were organized in professional manner.
Jess is cute & young yet a skilled presenter in realizing the desired dinner atmosphere.
The fact that the guitarist and keyboardist sing well too added alternate flavor to the music show.
Beat Music should be at the top 3 of the list for the newly wed who are hunting for a live performer for their unforgettable moment.

为什么要请Wedding Emcee?

如果你有留意朋友们的婚宴的话,最近都很流行请专业的婚宴主持人。
他们可不是一般像大妗姐或大妗公,说起话来正统又乏味,而是较有文采和随性。
而主持人扮演的角色,可说是虽不起眼但非常重要。因为他们可以带动全场的气氛由至温馨,热闹,到感动。

嘉宾们认为。。。
台下嘉宾们除了吃之外,最期待的,其实是希望可以多一点了解这一对新人,也借此希望这一对新人可以白头偕老。婚宴主持人可与嘉宾们互动,带给大家更多的欢乐。尤其主持人说起一对新人的生活上小秘密,或是兄弟们的恶搞,或是家人们的祝福时,都能联结台下嘉宾们的兴趣与欢乐。如果花几个小时吃一餐而台上发生一些与我们无关的事,那其实真的很鬼闷的。

如果你不想他们。。。
而主持人是最重要的绿叶。酒家通常会提供临时免费的主持人,也就是酒家自己派人上去说几句好话,或者干脆请大妗姐。这也是个人的喜好。但是很多主持人会把当天晚上当成自己的舞台Show,把全场的锋头而抢去了。那真的是“煞科”啦。其实最瞩目的还是要回归在一对新人以及家人的身上。因为他们才是真正与嘉宾们一起分享喜悦的。

现在的婚宴主持。。。
现在流行的较为简单,大方而不是失传统。许多的新人都希望带出高贵而避除繁文缛节。

主持人的功能还有安排当天晚上的节目流程,新人大可放心的享受当天的安排。下一篇再分享。

Ernie & Jenny Wedding Reception 24 March 2012

David在我婚前拨了一通电话给我,说可以帮忙他的好友的主持婚宴吗?
我犹豫了一阵,担心我的婚期太接近而忙得没时间。
不过我始终相信事在人为!所以我接了!
每一对新人都有属于他们的故事。Ernie&Jenny 也不例外。他们很随和,也喜欢一些Fun的玩意儿,他们希望在可以在晚宴上与嘉宾们一起分享他们的喜悦。
所以呢,我设计好许多的对白,务必要让新人和嘉宾们一起笑融融。


结果当然奏效!
哈! 哈!这是“大惩罚”!It's Kissing Time!
希望Ernie&Jenny恩爱到永远!

Sharing Moments….

My family, especially my dad did mention few times about you, he said you “pandai cakap”, he thought you are professional paid Emcee, I told him you are my friend who are invited to join and be my special emcee on my wedding dinner. So, for me, and behalf of my family’s opinion, you will become a very successful & professional emcee:
  1. You are confidence when you on the stage and talk (because you knowing what’s going on and you know what should say)
  2. You look charming and when you smile, is true, you warm the audiences. 
  3. When there are two or more speakers suddenly “muncul” in the program/ or on the stage, you know how to work with each other (even no practice/ rehearsal before) to keep the ceremony going / moving smoothly.
  4. You always prepare well and take others opinion to make the event/ ceremony schedule perfect and no boring, no “miss out” section.
  5. You always look happy and make the crowd enjoyed and feel having a good time.
  6. You’ve successful keeping the event-my wedding dinner ceremony running on time. Thank you so much, my dear Jess Lew~ hehe….^^

JY & Elyn Wedding Reception Feb 2012

JY & Elyn是我见过最甜蜜的一对情侣。他们也是我碰过第三对拍拖10年的情侣。
你说,人生有几多个十年?从开始要“挞”着火,到捱过7年之痒,在情深不变的过第十年,真的是不容易的事。这也可以证明两人的爱情很坚固!打风都打不甩。。:D
当我们在讨论晚宴的Run Down时,无论什么决定,都是夫妻有商量,很Sweet咯!
