From a gazebo to a grand ballroom, Grand Hyatt Singapore has a site suitable for any wedding size. With a colour-changing lattice wall in its Grand Residence, you can even customise the colour and pattern to create the ideal ambience for your dream wedding.

The 5-star hotel is a spectacular wedding venue and a leader in corporate environmental responsibility too. Besides offering plant-based meals for your wedding – think morish burgers, sausages, and eggs without the harmful environmental effects of livestock production – the hotel also serves sustainable seafood if your guests are not up for a vegetarian or vegan meal.

3. JW Marriott Singapore South Beach

The appeal of JW Marriott Singapore South Beach undoubtedly lies in its Grand Ballroom’s Forest of Lights, which features a state-of-the-art 11,520-light art installation customisable to your wedding theme!

At JW Marriott Singapore South Beach, the main energy saver is the canopy, which combines style and function – it is made to reduce heat penetration so as to reduce indoor temperatures. Additionally, you can kill two birds with one stone with the canopy’s wide windows. During your daytime wedding, the sunlight not only reduces the need for artificial lighting but also lets you bask in the natural light for a dreamy glow.

Aside from its energy-saving properties, the canopy’s design can also convert solar energy to electricity – a form of renewable energy to power your wedding!

4. Marina Bay Sands

The Harmony Wedding Package lets you do so in a variety of ways, from the usage of silk flowers for decoration to a sustainable menu that serves responsibly sourced food and organic and biodynamic wines, so that you can do your part for the environment.

Nothing screams green more than an urban garden! A cosy private space, Open Farm Community is ideal for an intimate celebration with your closest loved ones.

Aside from its support of local farmers and the use of locally sourced ingredients, it is committed to limit both single-use plastics and water and electricity usage. Yet, the Open Farm Community’s philosophy goes beyond its practices – led by a strong belief to save our planet, the team seeks to, as its name suggests, build a community that respects the food they eat.

7. Tangerine

Besides, Tangerine obtains its spices from its very own herb garden, so you and your guests get to take one step further to reduce your carbon footprint!
