Kuala Lumpur, 26 Mar 2009 – The Top 3 couples of Berjaya Hotels & Resorts’ online wedding contest, Love Me ‘Do! are just one step away from winning the grand prize – an ultimate sponsored dream beach wedding at Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort. The three couples shortlisted on www.lovemedo.com.my are Teo Seh Kiat & Yap Huey Sean, Lee Chun Boon & Louise Chu Wei Shan and Lim Hsien Han & Wong Bee Hong.

Berjaya Hotels & Resorts has joined hands with Signature Kitchen to reward the Top 3 couples, sharing tips on love and life to prepare them for a lifelong commitment with their respective partners. All three couples are engaged to be married and have learnt several useful and quirky tips to spice up their marriage from the cooking workshop today. Four associates from Berjaya Hotels & Resorts (Mr. Chris Cheong, Ms. Cecilia Chan, Mr. Eric Tan and Ms. Thang Han-Ni) took time off their busy schedules and had fun sharing simple recipes and tips with the couples. The event theme revolved around food and love, while the couples learned to make the most out of their time spent together. Signature Kitchen also rewarded each couple with a cash voucher worth RM2,000.00 each.

Ms. Thang Han-Ni, Director of Marketing & Communications, Berjaya Hotels & Resorts says, “We were inspired by the couples’ blogs, where they were sharing their feelings as they go through the preparations to win their ultimate dream beach wedding. Now that we’ve moved on to the final phase of Love Me ‘Do! it fits perfectly to work alongside Signature Kitchen to offer some tips on how the couples can share more meaningful days together. Simple gestures like preparing breakfast or adding special touches to their daily home cooked dinner go a long way. More interestingly, our colleagues from Berjaya Hotels & Resorts were also game to share their personal testimonials with the couples. It truly proves that love still brings the world together. Despite heavy schedules and work demands as hoteliers, we need to have our little quick fixes when it comes to balancing our family life back home and here we have four witty personalities sharing words of wisdom and imparting fun while contributing lessons to newlyweds. Hopefully the couples have fun while recalling these little tips and stories in future”.

Ms. Lam Li Hua, Brand Manager of Signature Kitchen says, “We’re delighted to be part of the Love Me ‘Do! campaign as it is a refreshing marketing concept and targets the newlyweds, whom are coincidentally our main target audience. Working closely with Berjaya Hotels & Resorts in Love Me ‘Do! allows us to connect with our target audience and it’s a great avenue to introduce our latest range, named Basic Series. Basic Series is a new collection that would appeal to newlyweds with over 100 design layouts in its product range and these designs come with affordable price tags. Our brand objective is to enrich the quality of our customers’ lives and it should start from the first home they own. Basic Series strongly echoes our brand objective as it is able to provide high quality products to customers without stretching their budget”.

Thang also adds, “Love Me ‘Do! has recorded impressive figures so far, especially now as we inch closer towards the end of Phase 4. To date, www.lovemedo.com.my has attracted over 1,000 fans on Facebook, over 37,000 page visits and more than 700,000 page views. The average time spent by a visitor on the website is more than 11 minutes, which illustrates the captive power of this campaign. We’ve been constantly updating www.lovemedo.com.my as the couples go through the four phases of the competition. It’s interesting to note that we started off by posting a lot of generic pictures from our photo library but since then the website has evolved tremendously. As you browse through different pages within the website, you will notice a stronger presence of the Top 7 couples as we’ve uploaded wedding pictures shot by Edmund Tham at Berjaya Hills and Berjaya Times Square Hotel & Convention Center”.

With only three couples left in the running, the public will soon be able to submit final votes for their favourite couple beginning from 27 February till 5 March 2009. The three couples would need to answer one final question via their blogs: “Should we look for love, wait for love or let destiny take its own course?” The most creative and savvy answer would help to draw more last-minute votes. Aside from winning an all-expenses-paid and everything-planned designer beach wedding at Langkawi, the final winning couple will also receive a cash voucher worth RM5,000.00 from Signature Kitchen. Results for the winning couple will be announced on www.lovemedo.com.my on 6 March 2009.
