We were really glad to have made the RIGHT choice having Musical Touch ('MT') with us on 17th November 2019 at Amara Sentosa for our wedding.
The Journey with MT begins below: -
•Alvin (our contact point at MT ) was very responsive and helpful in providing suggestions. Pretty sure this is a point as newly wedds like us are inexperienced yet expect everything to go perfectly. I contacted Alvin and quite a number of other bands in April 2019 and was fast in deciding to engage MT. Their professionalism, experiences, short response time taken to reply and flexibility were key reasons for engaging them. Eventually, I hired a 3.5piece band, an Emcee for Solemnization and 2 for the lunch banquet. I was also glad that last minute changes and requests were all taken care of and adhered to.
I personally feel that having 1 vendor covering as many related areas (of coz they have to be competent) is important so you would not end up having to contact & coordinate with numerous people on actual day. The more vendors the greater the complication at times. Glad that MT has artists that are really talented and all-rounded.
• Abby (Jiaxi), the musician and main Emcee, was really sweet and professional. She called for a meetup before the wedding to have a better understanding of us in order to have her speech customized and ensure better engagement with the crowd. We ran through the actual day flow as well and she was very meticulous with the details and highlighted some areas which I have missed out previously. Phew~ That's important! She is so approachable and loquacious (definitely the positive side) that you would feel comfortable to chatter with and share your experiences with. That's very essential especially for some couples that might be really shy to speak to strangers. Abby converses and asks questions in a tactful manner that you wouldn't feel stressed up.
On the actual day of the wedding, I am surprised to see Abby reaching earlier than required for the Solemnization to check out the flow and to get familiarized with the area. She too updated us that their band crews are setting up the sound system at the ballroom (On a side note, I like their sound system, the sound projected is clear and surround. Personally, it feels better than the hotel's-though the hotel's system is not too bad as well.) It is heartening to see Abby putting in the extra effort.
At the lunch banquet... Both Abby and Lingyi (my 2nd Emcee and musician) sang really well and the songs dedication got the crowd hyped. The two were also fascinating and engaging, the crowd really love them! Abby and Lingyi is an awesome combination to have, covering both English and Mandarin, having their own strengths and merits. My parents and in-laws were full of praises as they emphasized that it's important to ensure that the wedding wouldn't be 冷场 (well... guess it translates to cold/awkwardness!). As you please yourselves, you needa ensure your parents & in-laws are satisfied too! Phew~ Guess the Emcees and Band have helped to ace that!
The band did a fantastic job coordinating with the Sandart Artist during the special appearance/performance. The songs sung, the communication and output really awed the crowd. It couldn't have been better!
While trying to showcase the Express Highlights, some technical issues occurred resulting in a delay. Both Emcees did a good job in the continuous engagement with the crowd by highlighting some of the interesting incidents that took place earlier in the day till the video was ready. They might not have realized that we were actually hiding at the main door waiting for the march in after the video and noticed how they reacted. This is definitely what an adept Emcees should be- Composed, calm and conscious of the surrounding and ready to react. We were really pleased!
I want to thank the team once again for the awesome coordination and performance! In a nutshell, Musical Touch is definitely the RECOMMENDED choice to go with!
