Still on the fence? Here are the perks of a micro wedding:
Intimacy
A small wedding is all about you, your love, and your closest circle. Whether at a sleek Sentosa resort or a heritage shophouse in Chinatown, the atmosphere is personal and unique. It is something big ballrooms can’t match.
Better Value, Higher Quality
Small weddings in Singapore means you can focus on celebrating, your way. For less, you can book premium venues like rooftop spots in Clarke Quay or garden oases in Botanic Gardens. These spaces offer top-notch service, exquisite menus, and stunning backdrops.
Less Stress
Planning for a tight-knit group feels like a breeze. Hosting at a cosy Kampong Glam venue or a yacht off Sentosa lets you focus on joy, not juggling hundreds of guests. It’s about quality time, not impressing a crowd.
Many venues in Singapore provide halal catering or are halal-certified. For example, The Masons Table offers per-person packages starting from S$60, and you can request halal menu options directly with the venue. Similarly, larger venues like Swatow City in Bukit Batok cater to Muslim weddings, although it’s best to confirm directly with the venue regarding certification.
Traditional Chinese wedding venues such as Swatow City – Bukit Batok are popular for Chinese wedding banquets, with a large seating capacity of up to 230 guests and traditional Chinese menus. Spaces like The Secret Patio in Tanjong Pagar provide an elegant atmosphere for smaller tea ceremonies or family gatherings.
