2019-11-28

Holding a wedding in Singapore can be expensive, and you may be hard-pressed to find more affordable options to accommodate your guests without compromising on the overall quality and elegance of your ceremony.

That being said, while often overlooked as viable options for wedding venues, restaurants are actually a great option that you and your partner can consider! Here are 4 reasons why a restaurant wedding might be a good idea:

Food

The biggest and most obvious benefit of having a restaurant wedding is, of course, the food. Having a fully-stocked kitchen and experienced chefs who are accustomed to serving large groups of people means that you can rest assured when it comes to the quality of the gastronomic delights served at your banquet.

Plus, a restaurant wedding does not only guarantee an epicurean spread, but also the ability to accommodate special dietary needs or preferences that your guests may have!

Ample space

Have you invited the whole town over or are you planning to simply invite a handful of loved ones? No matter the size of your guest list, restaurants are spaces that are made to accommodate crowds of varying sizes.

If you and your partner are holding a humble ceremony, some restaurants have small rooms at your disposal, where you can enjoy a private setting without needing to book the entire venue. On the other hand, for couples with more extensive guest lists, some restaurants such as Ban Heng even has ballrooms at some of their outlets that can seat up to 1200 guests!

Service

Be it young children or our elderly grandparents, we all have friends and family members that may require special assistance. Having your wedding in a restaurant means that you and your guests will be serviced by professional and experienced staff who will be able to attend to your guests’ needs throughout the ceremony.

Moreover, the service staff’s familiarity with the venue and trained professional demeanour will enable them to make sure that the event goes smoothly without any hiccups!

Budget-friendly

Last but not least, one of the benefits of holding your wedding at a restaurant is that it can be more affordable than other mainstream traditional wedding venues. Most restaurants typically charge rates that are wallet-friendly with a smaller minimum spend requirement, and would already boast existing decorations, which means less styling and expenditure needed on your part.
