4 Tips for Picking the Perfect Wedding Venue in Singapore
2018-12-10
More than a hotel or a restaurant, the venue is what brings your wedding theme together. For instance, a garden wedding is best hosted in the outdoors, while the many wedding ballrooms we have in Singapore will complement a black-tie celebration.
However, deciding on a venue can be challenging. In addition to your wedding theme, here are four other factors to take into consideration when before opting for the one!
The Guest List
When selecting a venue, it is important to have a rough estimation of the number of guests. That said, it is best to opt for one that is capable of accommodating more guests than you are expecting, just in case.
View it in Person
After identifying the prospective wedding venues, set aside some time to visit the actual venue. This is crucial as viewing the place in person will help you better visualise your actual day and if it complements your wedding theme. Viewing the venue in person will also give you an idea of the amenities you'll have available for your own wedding and how you can work them to your advantage.
Menu
Whether you choose a restaurant or a hotel as your wedding venue, do keep their culinary style in mind. If you're hosting a traditional wedding, ensure that the venue is able to serve the appropriate dishes suitable for the occasion, especially when it comes to your wedding banquet.
Budget
With a budget in mind, it is easier to narrow down on your list of venues. Here’s a tip: when checking out the prices of the various venues, be sure to inquire for the final cost including GST and service charge.
Location and Accessibility
If you're holding the ceremony and reception at separate locations, it's important to consider the distance between both of them. If these locations are a distance away, you may have to provide transportation for your guests. At the same time, it’s important to note the accessibility of your location(s) and if you will need to offer transportation.
