Our second engagement for the day was at the Sentosa Resort & Spa where we were engaged to perform a prelude, march-in and postlude for Sharon’s wedding solemnisation.

Jean Danker (Sharon’s sister) and Glenn Ong was at the ceremony.

Our first engagement for the day saw us at the Armenian Church for Shirley’s wedding. We started off playing for the prelude as the guests arrive, and then played Air on G for the processional. To the bride’s request, we reserved Canon in D to mark her march down the aisle. The worship team then took over for the rest of the service, and we came on again for the signing of the register and the march-out. There was some time left for us to play the postlude as guests took turns to take photos with the couple, and eventually, we got our turn as well

One thing leads to another! Cathy, Rachel‘s cousin, engaged us for her wedding this July at the St Regis hotel. What’s unique about this engagement is that Wen Bin, our cellist and arranger, customised for string quartet, a set of Medieval music by Henry Tudor VIII. Cathy and Sandy have specially requested for “Greensleeves” to be arranged for their march-in, with the Tudors having a special meaning for them. They did a little Tudor dance while being accompanied with our playing of “Greensleeves”, to the warm smiles and applause from the guests of this cosy and intimate party.

Very sweet of the couple to send us an e-card after the wedding!

We kicked off June 2011 with 2 back-to-back wedding gigs. On 11 June, performed for David’s wedding cocktail reception at the Shangri-La Hotel.

The next day, the Resonance Quartet was at the Raffles Hotel performing for Brian’s wedding. The solemnisation ceremony was held outside the East India Rooms next to the water fountain, and we played as the procession and bride marched-in. We then shifted inside the banquet room where we played to the couple’s march-in, and then entertained the guests with 2 sets of music as they proceeded with their lunch.
