Every bride wants a special location for her wedding. If the couple is not restricted by their parents’ need to have it in a traditional chinese hotel restaurant, here are some locations that I found to be really practical and interesting! :)
#1: CHIJMES HALL
CHIJMES was used as a Catholic convent for 131 years, with Caldwell House constructed in 1840–1841 and the chapel in 1904. The Gothic chapel, now a multi-purpose hall, is known as CHIJMES Hall and it’s a perfect venue for weddings.
Beautiful, grand, romantic… these are words people use to describe a wedding in Chijmes. And it doesn’t have to be a religious wedding too. :) Check out Watabe Weddings for information on using this location as a wedding venue. They have lunch (11am to 3pm) or dinner (7pm to 11pm) for your choice.
The only thing is, to make it look super beautiful, I need decorations, I need someone who can design this wedding!
So I went online to search and found this wedding designer. Rosette Design & Co., who has designed some truly lovely Weddings in Chijmes. Here’s one I really like:

So pretty right! I guess this is the difference between the complimentary basic design from restaurants and one that has a theme throughout. I have contacted (email: hello@rosettedesigns.com) Rosette Designs & Co, so let’s see how my wedding will turn out with them working on it! Super excited!

#3: Park Hotel @ Clarke Quay
Lovely place. Get married by the pool at the rooftop of Park Hotel. Sounds like a dream come true. I would have gone for it, except their maximum capacity was only 50 people. :( I didn’t explore any further with them. It looks all very pretty though.
Address: 1 Unity St, Singapore 237983
#4: Villa Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens
Located inside Singapore Botanic Gardens, Villa Halia is surrounded by lush greenery, making this a quiet and peaceful place that’s perfect for weddings.

Check out Villa Halia at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. They have quite a nice, cozy environment! This is another awesome venue that I am considering. :)
Address: Villa Halia, 1 Cluny Road, Ginger Garden (enter via Tyersall Avenue), Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore 259569
#5: Forlino’s at One Fullerton
Forlino serves very good italian food and they are open for weddings too! Check out their website here.
