Bestah & Cecilia - Update 2

We recently did a site inspection at the reception venue with Bestah. Its a fairly straight forward event though I would say, the venue itself has challenges. From past experience running an event at the same venue, we do hope that we can have a much smoother event with little or no surprises popping out at the last minute. We are keeping not only our fingers crossed but all our toes as well!

In the meantime, we are working on the event flow. Everything is falling into place albeit still a number of details to be finalised.

We'll be counting the days till the wedding... keep cool Bestah and Cecilia! Relax... let us worry for you.

Music for the "DAY"

MUSIC is always an integral part of any event, and especially so with weddings. Whether its a soloist, a quartet or an entire band, this sets the mood for the whole event. A piece of music whether a song or just an instrumental piece holds different meaning to every couple. It evokes emotions which would otherwise be kept within.....we've seen many grooms weep like babies as they watch their brides walk down the aisle to that special music or their faces are so full of emotion when they dance the traditional first dance with their brides.

Choose your music carefully.... something which holds meaning for you both or brings back a certain moment like your first date, or the background music when you proposed or even when you were on holiday and heard something interesting or just go back to all your special moments together and the tunes that you can associate those moments with.

Do bear in mind though, when you are walking down the aisle that there are restrictions in certain places of worship... certainly no rock music! The priest or pastor will faint! supposed to be a serene moment. There are probably a number of popular traditional music that are used by many brides but there's just one that never fail to make me teary - eyed.... "Canon in D" by Pachabel. It just makes you feel like so contented, happy and ready to take that step.

More from me soon....

Prior to meeting this couple, we were briefly told that we only had about a month to plan for this wedding. So many concerns and so little time. After we met them yesterday, we were so relieved that Cecilia and Bestah were so cool and receptive to our ideas. It made this so much easier....ideas just flowed after that. We are truly honoured to be part of your wedding day and hope that everything will turn out as you dream it to be..... Congratulations Cecilia and Bestah!
