Planning a wedding is exciting, but it can also be pretty nerve-wracking. Don’t worry; with these tips, you can find a venue in Singapore that ticks all the boxes and also have fun while doing it.
The first thing you should do is set the budget. Once you know how much you can spend on the overall wedding, decide on the portion that goes into the venue. Some venues only come with the basics, while other, more expensive venues come with more sophisticated facilities. When setting the budget, consider the kind of venue you want. It’s okay to spend a little extra if the venue has everything you need. While wedding hotels in Singapore come in all kinds, five-star venues such as Grand Park City Hall are often a preferred choice.
Popular venues in Singapore get booked up faster than you can load the webpage, especially during peak wedding seasons. Some places get booked months, if not years, in advance. Once you have shortlisted the venues, reach out to each venue to check availability. If the venue you have your heart set on is taken, be flexible with your date. The earlier you start, the better your chances of finding the perfect spot for your wedding!
The overall aesthetic of the venues plays a key role in setting the tone for the day. What do you have in mind? Chic and modern? Or do you fancy the ballroom style? What about a garden or a rooftop wedding? Think about all this and find a venue that falls in line with your vision. Also, take into account the colour palette and theme you want to have. Pay special attention to lighting, architecture, and décor.
Can the venue fit all your guests on the list? This is an important question to ask yourself. You can start by having a rough idea of how many people you’re inviting. You don’t want the place to feel too empty or too packed. A small venue can feel a bit cramped, while a large venue can make it look a bit deserted. You want to have a cosy, personal vibe without that stuffy feeling. Ask the venue manager about the maximum capacity and if they can adjust the layout to suit your number of guests. Be ready to move on to the next venue on the list if the current one doesn’t work for the number of people you have in mind.
If you’re planning a garden or a rooftop wedding, it’s best to have a backup plan in case the weather gets sour. There needs to be an indoor space to move the wedding party if required. Talk to the venue and find out about the available backup options. Some venues have rooftop venues with a clear marquee or dome structure-like setup that allows the outdoors in while keeping everyone dry and comfortable.
Location: This is an important factor in deciding on a wedding venue in Singapore. Make sure it’s close to the airport, city attractions, and shopping malls. The whole point of having a destination wedding is to enjoy and explore the destination as well, isn’t it? So, consider the location carefully.
