2018-03-28

Whether it’s intimate garden wedding or a rooftop space set amidst the city’s skyline, choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions an newlywed to-be has to make. While few are lucky enough to select affordable wedding venues in Singapore without much difficulty, most will spend months searching for the ideal location.

From reading the reviews to enquiring about additional services, here’re five factors to look out for when selecting your wedding venue.

Enquire about the minimum guest count

You’ll want to secure a venue that is able to accommodate your visitors while providing ample space for the wedding festivities. While some venues are able to accommodate up to 500 guests, some are only capable of hosting an intimate affair. Do also ensure that the venue is able to accommodate more visitors than you anticipated, just in case of emergency plus-ones.

Read the reviews

A useful and fuss-free way of finding out more about most wedding venues, it is advisable to read a couple of reviews of your selected location. As most reviews will indicate essential information and rating of the venue, reading reviews will allow you to quickly rule out locations that do not meet your requirements.

Enquire about additional services

Most wedding venues, especially hotels and restaurants, will provide additional services such as photography, décor, in-house catering, and accommodation for your guests. A full-service venue is more convenient and cost-friendly, as compared to finding and hiring vendors on your own. It also minimizes the hassle of hiring different people to provide various services on your wedding day. However, you can also go for the alternative option of hiring vendors if you are working on a tight budget.

Go through the policies 

It is highly recommended to first understand the policies of the venue before making the reservation. Some things to take note of include the time that the guests should leave, sound and lighting restrictions and service charges on top of the bill. Having clear information on this prevents any unwelcomed surprises that may come after violating any of the venue’s policies.

Consider the venue’s flexibility

Is the venue capable of adjusting to bad weather? Especially so for outdoor weddings, do be sure to consider the venue’s contingency plans. Venues should be able to tailor or work towards the desired décor arrangement, to suit your wedding theme.

A once in a lifetime affair, it is therefore advisable to make careful considerations before committing to the wedding venue. Remember to begin your search as early as possible if you want to best available options.
