We’ve assembled a list of Wedding Venues in Singapore that are sure to wow you and your guests. Each venue has a little something special and we hope you see it like we do. From fancy ballrooms to lovely views, this list has it all!
It is your special day, you deserve nothing less than a special location. So, dive in and take your pick!
Tips for Selecting a Singapore Wedding Venue
Venue costs are likely to be the biggest of your expenses. So, you’ll have to be careful how you allocate your budget. Here are some tips to guide you!
1. Timing
It goes without saying that you should plan ahead. The less time you put between the planning process and the wedding itself, the more it’ll cost. Ensure that your venue is booked 12-18 months in advance.
Alternatively, consult your wedding planner or bridesmaids on how best to approach this. We understand that things aren’t as they once were, and things can change on a dime. So keep an eye on the news and be mindful of venue restrictions.
2. Location
Venue accessibility can be difficult. If your venue is somewhere obscure, it can be difficult to find. Additionally, you may have to consider the venues’ wheelchair accessibility.
This is not a complete showstopper. It is possible to accommodate the guests at the venue itself. But, it is essential that you liaise with the venue to see what can be done.
3. Style
If your wedding has a theme, you’ll want to ensure that the venue matches it. For example, somewhere modern and chic wouldn’t jive with a Victorian theme. Scout your locations and do a site visit.
Alternatively, some venues have taken the liberty of developing a virtual tour. This allows you to explore the venue in the safety of your home. Doing your due diligence has never been easier!
4. Capacity
If you’re the sort to invite relatives from every corner of the world, this is important. Venues have capacity limits for safety reasons. As such, bear in mind that your dream venue may not be able to accommodate the number of pax you intend to invite.
5. Packages
Just because it’s your dream venue, doesn’t mean you have to drop a bomb. Venues often offer packages to give you more bang for your buck. It is important to scour their website and give them a call to find out.
For the budget-conscious among us, this can be a real lifesaver. We understand that there are bigger expenses down the line. So, take the time to do your homework!
