2025-05-07

Among this year’s standout venues, Paradox Singapore Merchant Court has earned one of our coveted Editor’s Choice Awards for Banquet Venue — and for good reasons. While Singapore has no shortage of elegant hotel ballrooms, few manage to balance architectural grandeur, culinary finesse, and effortless hospitality with the same precision as this urban resort.

A Ballroom Designed to Impress 

At Paradox Singapore, the newly transformed Merchant Court Ballroom sets a new standard for wedding venues. Located at lobby level, this exclusive, pillar-less ballroom features soaring six-metre ceilings and sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows — a rare touch that fills the space with natural light and elegance that is highly sought-after feature for in-door weddings. 

The adjoining private foyer isn’t just functional, but an elegant space in its own right,  ideal for welcome drinks, photo ops or an exclusive cocktail reception. Accommodating 200 to 440 guests with ease, the venue balances grandeur with thoughtful design, ensuring every guest enjoys an unobstructed view and spacious comfort. Whether you're planning an opulent celebration or a more intimate affair, this award-nominated ballroom delivers a seamless, sophisticated experience from start to finish.

A Riverside Retreat in the Heart of the City

Paradox Singapore offers the luxury of tranquillity in a central location. Nestled along the Singapore River and just steps from Clarke Quay MRT, it seamlessly blends urban convenience with resort-like charm.

With direct sheltered access and proximity to key city attractions, guests enjoy effortless arrivals—yet feel worlds away amid the hotel’s serene surroundings. A lush pool terrace, tranquil spa, and landscaped spaces create an urban sanctuary that slows the city’s pace.

For wedding couples and their guests, this harmonious balance of vibrancy and calm is an understated indulgence that elevates the entire celebration.

Say “I Do” With a View

Outdoor solemnisation in the city rarely feels this private. Tucked on level two, the poolside gazebo at Paradox Singapore Merchant Court overlooks the scenic Singapore River, offering an elevated alfresco setting that feels both intimate and refined.

Framed by lush greenery and away from the city bustle, it’s a hidden gem that delivers quiet sophistication — the perfect backdrop for a truly memorable “I do.”

Exceptional Service, Thoughtfully Delivered

At Paradox Singapore, great service means anticipating every need with thoughtful consideration. The dedicated wedding team works closely with each couple to personalise every detail—from bespoke menus crafted by the in-house culinary team to tailored packages that reflect individual preferences.

Whether it’s refined Cantonese cuisine or globally inspired fare, menu flexibility is matched with thoughtful perks like free-flow beverages, dining credits, and complimentary stays for the wedding entourage.

It’s effortless, attentive service—executed with precision and heart.

A Stay That’s Effortlessly Indulgent

With 476 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites in sleek, modern tones, Paradox Singapore ensures every part of the wedding experience is well considered — not just the celebration itself. Many rooms offer tranquil views of the Singapore River, paired with understated comforts that make each stay feel like a true escape.

Guests in Executive Rooms and Suites enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge, where complimentary refreshments provide a welcome pick-me-up for loved ones joining the festivities.

On the dining front, the acclaimed Ellenborough Market Café delights with authentic Peranakan flavours, while Blue Potato and Crossroads Bar offer stylish settings for pre-wedding toasts or relaxed post-event catch ups. At sunset, riverside alfresco dining sets the scene for memories beyond the ceremony.
