I knew exactly what I want for the wedding dinner on the 27^th September 2009.  I wanted cupcakes; lots and lots of cupcakes.  I have two vendors in mind and along the trail for some funny reason I have a thought that they were related; but they are not, in fact they are two separate styles.  I have been following Delectable and Big Boys Oven website since late last year and I even goggle about them on a regular basis.

Remembered, I went home late July because mummy has taken ill.  This was the time when I first meet with Sidney from Big Boys Oven; Sidney came across very approachable whilst speaking over the phone, he is also very accommodating with the meeting time and venue.

I meet up with Sidney at Starbucks in Kota Damansara; we sat down and had a chat.  I told him what I had in mind and he gave me some ideas.  I decided to go with him because it seems like he knew what I was talking about and I felt like there is a connection there.  Without any hesitation I paid him the deposit and got another task off my list.  Sidney assure me that I will not need to worry about anything on the day as he will come and stack the cupcake up and it will be perfect.

On the 27 Septmeber 2009. Sidney came by at about 5:30pm to set up the cake, i peep at his car and i saw all the beautiful cupcakes at the front seat.  I was so tempted to go and grab one but i was in the mid of my make up hence was not able to go down until later. 

I was so happy with the look and the taste of the cupcakes and many guest complimented on the lovely cupcakes.  Thanks sidney.

I am so glad that I hired William Lee as my emcee for the wedding dinner at Ritz Carlton. William has assisted me in many ways and I really appreciate his endeavour toward my wedding.

Many people advised that I should just get my friend or cousin to be the emcee and I thought about it and decided to hire one as I want my friends and family to be able to drink and enjoy the night and not have to be worrying about bits and pieces. I emailed Williams at the end of November 2008 and he replied that he was available, without hesitation I booked him for my wedding dinner on the 26 September 2009. I meet up with him during my 2009 Chinese New Year home visit. He definitely impressed me with his presentation. I was wearing short and a simple top and walked into Starbucks and saw him sitting with his Laptop and very well presented.

His look was definitely a very charismatic one and when he spoke; his voice just assured me that I got the right person. He was definitely more organized than I am, he has this scheduled all typed out and what exactly needs to happen at what time. He was also giving us ideas and suggestions and may I say that his ideas and suggestion is so unique and is not some ideas of many wedding.  He also did mentioned some “things” that might happen and how we can overcome it.  I felt so confident and comfortable after our meet up.

When I came back for Mummy’s illness, daddy wanted to meet up with William and Daddy was definitely impressed with him as well. Daddy mentioned that he has the voice and also the look. Most importantly he is well organized and he knows what he is talking about. Due to anxiousness, Daddy and I even meet up with William a few days before the wedding and William was very accommodating and went through with us every detail we had.

On the wedding dinner night; 26 September 2009, I have nothing to worry about as I know that the whole dinner is in safe hand of William.  With all the discussion that we had, I knew that he would make it a very special night for me. Indeed he went above and beyond on the day. He made sure that everything run well and also making sure that me the bride is doing fine; he even make sure that I know how to march in without tripping down in my big bulky gown.

William arrived at about 5pm that evening to coordinate the programs and events for the night. He definitely put in a lot of effort to ensure that everything went as planned; from sound system to every detail.  He even had a march in rehearsal for the parents.  He has done an amazing job.  We don’t think that evening would be so wonderful without his help.

We have received so many compliments about him; some said that he has the voice of an angel and some corporate people said that is been a while since they seen such professional emcee around.  For such wonderful service, we only paid a very reasonable price.  Did I mention that he can speak many languages as well? 

Thanks so much William.

My wedding Make up Artist is the renowned Sharon Wei from Wedding Isle.  I was very lucky to be able to engage her for our wedding.  I have heard many stories of her turning down wedding as she is fully booked.

I have spoken to her many times over the phone but have not able to meet her in person; every time when I go to her studio I was only able to meet Carmen; her assistant.  Carmen was a really nice person; friendly, helpful and a super lovely girl.  When I went home in July, I meet up with Carmen, we had a chat and I even told her mummy’s condition then, and she was so helpful and even offered her help on anything that is needed for the wedding.  She even prompted me on some wedding things that need sorting out which has helped me to focus.

Managed to meet with Sharon Wei (finally) a week before I return to Australia late August, Sharon was super friendly and helpful.  We chatted for an hour plus on everything under the sun but nothing on the make up and hair do.  Maybe that is how she gets to know her bride and create a connection with them.  Mind you, I did not have any trial session and she has done an excellent job on my wedding day with the make up and hairs do.  Not sure how she does it; to me she was like a fairly that took the fairy wand and voila it was the make up and hair do that my guests complimented on.

On the wedding day; 26 September 2009, Sharon arrived at about 5:30am to start with the make up, as we have already built our little friendship hence I was not as nervous as I thought I would.  We were chatting away like friend and before we know I was ready to put my wedding gown on.  Sharon was very helpful and definitely a calmer for my nervousness that day.
