Capella Hotel Singapore, located on Sentosa Island, offers a truly unique setting for weddings. I've attended several weddings there and have always been impressed by its ambience, service, and food! The hotel combines colonial charm with modern luxury, and one of the most memorable features is the random sighting of peacocks roaming the outdoor areas.
Capella's event spaces are ideal for a wide range of celebrations, and it's one of the few venues in Singapore capable of comfortably hosting a 16-piece POP! Orchestra. This guide covers everything you need to know about planning a wedding at Capella, including venue options, packages, and pricing. If you're strapped for time, read through our Frequently Asked Questions section for a brief overview of Capella weddings.

Client Testimonial
We couldn't possibly write an entire article on Capella Hotel Weddings without providing a first-hand account of what it's like to actually get married there. Over the weekend, we caught up with Joan. She had her wedding in the Grand Ballroom in December 2018; as luck would have it, I was on the guest list too. I briefly asked her about her opinion on the service quality, ambience, food and drinks, accommodations, and pricing of a Capella Hotel wedding. Here's what she had to say:
Service Quality: Joan praised the hotel's service quality, noting that the attention to detail exceeded her expectations. The staff ensured everything ran smoothly and provided professional assistance throughout her wedding day. As one of her guests, I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything was executed.
Decorations and Ambience: She found the Grand Ballroom's decorations and ambience exceptional. They perfectly complemented the venue's grandeur and created a memorable setting for her celebration.
Food and Drinks: Joan mentioned that the feedback she provided during the tasting session was incorporated into the final menu. While she felt the food and drinks were "all right," she noted that this responsiveness was a definite plus point. Personally, I remember the food to be quite good, but the topic of food can be quite subjective, especially in food-paradise Singapore.
Accommodations: The hotel room included in her wedding package was excellent, although she wished the complimentary stay had been longer.
Pricing: Joan acknowledged that the wedding was expensive, but she felt it was worth the cost for the entire experience, which she described as unforgettable.
Overall, Joan's testimonial reflects Capella Hotel's commitment to delivering quality service, impressive decorations, and thoughtful dining options, creating a wedding experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Conclusion
Hopefully, this all-in-one guide has been helpful for you. In addition to being a guest multiple times at a Capella Hotel wedding, I've also been to the hotel several times as part of the crew of Musical Touch. I've seen several iterations of our POP! Orchestra, as well as smaller-sized bands, perform at the Grand Ballroom. Every time I've been there, the hotel staff have been nothing but attentive and professional. While the venue is priced on the higher end, you truly get what you pay for. If you're still unsure of whether Capella will be a good fit for you, feel free to contact them and book a viewing!
