PRODUCTION FOR NJ WEDDING DINNER BY ICICLE MUSIC
Count down.... Less than 1 month to AD!

Last nite, met up with Richie, the lead for the production who is going to do the production for NJ wedding dinner. We get all excited as we run through the plans! Richie has already book for the sound system which will be set up before 2.30pm on the actual day.

After our last meet up, we exchange some funny ideas for the march in. And really appreciate Richie and Chan for taking time off to re-track some of the songs and music to achieve the best effects. I understand how time consuming and difficult it is to bring 2 different tracks to join seamlessly. Last nite, after hearing the preview of the tracking done by them, I am really touch by their effort!

The 1st march in will be lead in by the traditional wedding song we hear from olden days. I always wanted this song as part of the wedding songs list but worried that it will be kinda of funny. This time, its a special mix! The introduction of the traditional wedding song is being track into the romantic, 101 wedding "Say Yes" by Chage and Asuka. The 1st time I hear this song, I conclude that it will be the 1st march in song!

Richie has done some twist to the music for the 1st dish presentation. Instead of the usual "Be our Guest" song throughout. We would have the 1st portion which is a voice over from "Be our Guest" song and hype into the "Everlasting Love" to create that impact for the resturant crew to much in! Fabulous match!!!

Another tricky bit will be to merge the song for the 2nd march in. It comprise of "爱你无限" and "老鼠爱大米". One is a dance track and one is a remix track. Extremely difficult to track them together. Richie and Chan has done it!!!!

 

 

 

 

I have always wanted to have "爱你无限" in the wedding song list. This song has a special meaning. The origin of this song comes from the background of the love one has for their only one. The orginal singer is going to do a live version of this song!!! *more details of this song is found on www.iciclemusic.com under A.R.T.s

The original singer of "老鼠爱大米" is actually a guy singer call 杨臣刚 from China. Richie has the original version! Nick is going to surprise us with this song! Hopefully he dun go out of tune :P Hahaha..... Richie ask him to do some action with this song, and guess wat Nick reply .... "Action bei dek ar... No worries, I m good at it!" ***faint

The rest of the music comprise of Broadway to Jazz. I leave these selection on the good hand of Richie. And yes! Our Emcees for the nite. Vera and Kelvin. Thanks for the help! Vera is a very experience emcee...she will be doing the chinese version. Kelvin is a new bird... He will be doing the english portion and there is a part where he needed to say some chinese. That would be quite "entertaining".... Hahaha.. this is his virgin show! His past experience comprise of story telling to young kids...big big actions!  :P Hahaha... Dun worry, after this you will be well-trained!

Thanks guys!!! for all the efforts and time taken to prepare for this show!

Hi, realli sounds veri well planned & Im sure it will be a great success..but are they x?

Puroland Ang said...

Hi gals, you might want to contact him via email " richie@iciclemedia.com.sg "
cos I think different requirements will cost differently. Basically Richie has a very rich background in music. U can read more abt him on
http://www.iciclemusic.com/aandr.html

He is also capable of advising wat kind of sound equipments you might need. Some of the venue has very weak sound system so he is able to bring in a suitable system as well. He has experience with some of the hotels to bring in sound system for wedding banquet.

Its quite important to have a good production team to lead the banquet. He is able to advise wat kind of music is suitable for the theme and venue. Even in a simple banquet, the correct kind of music does bring a lot of different. For the wedding banquet, he will work closely with the banquet manager to cue in and out. Save our job on the coordination part....if not really will sweat! Hahaha

Puroland Ang said...

Hi gals, the production and cost are not listed on the website. But a basic menu that include a basic sound sytem, emcee and song selection will cost about 1k. The majority cost come from the sound system (about 60%) its a rented system, so they will have to shift in and set up before the dinner and dismentle and send back after the dinner. If your venue has already a good one, U can cut down some cost on the sound system part.
These group of music fanatics comprise of musician, graphic designer, singer and emcee. And lots of cranky and funny ideas!
