CHIJMES Hall: Where Gothic Grandeur Meets Modern Romance

CHIJMES Hall, a neo-gothic chapel completed in 1902, features sparkling crystal chandeliers and stained-glass windows created by Belgian artisan Jules Dobbelaere in 1903. The high ceilings and filtered light create a captivating ambiance, offering guests a unique experience.

The contemporary décor makes it suitable for various events, including weddings, corporate functions, and celebrations. CHIJMES Hall can accommodate anywhere from 160 to 308 guests, depending on the configuration of the room. Achieving National Monument status in 1990, the Chapel stands as a testament to Singapore's rich heritage.

And here's a little tidbit to make you feel like a star: remember that breathtaking wedding scene in "Crazy Rich Asians"? That was filmed right there in CHIJMES Hall! So why settle for watching movie magic when you can live it?

Alcove at Caldwell House: Intimate Elegance in a Historic Setting

For more intimate gatherings, Alcove at Caldwell House offers a blend of history and elegance. Designed in the neoclassical style by architect G.D. Coleman, it features a unique semi-circular exterior and Doric columns supporting a vaulted timber ceiling. Gazetted as a national monument in 1990, Alcove is well-suited for events hosting 30 to 134 guests. 

Its modern furnishings make it suitable for various events, including corporate functions and intimate weddings. The distinctive semi-circular exterior and panelled windows in the dome allow natural light to create a picturesque backdrop for photos. 

Interestingly, the phrase "MARCHE EN MA PRESENCE ET SOIS PARFAIT" – "Walk Along With Me And Be Perfect" is etched into the upper-level interior of Alcove, adding to its charm and significance.
