What Are The Choices For A Suitable Wedding Venue To Fit Your Budget

Weddings are significant events in people's lives and getting married is a big thing in Singapore, and it is not just because it is one of the biggest decisions in your life – it is also about the money!

Anyone who has gotten married in Singapore or is preparing to get married will be able to tell you about the level of stress they go through. It is also a time-consuming affair and some couples may engage a wedding planner in the management of their wedding to ensure that it is well organized.

The services of a wedding planner can include:
1) Interviewing the couple and the parents to identify their needs.
2) Budget preparation
3) Event design and styling
4) Venues scouting
5) Planning detailed checklist (before and after the wedding)
6) Attendee list preparation

While wedding costs and budgets are largely determined by the couple and their parents' wishes, wedding venues in Singapore typically take up more than half of the total cost. This is why choosing a suitable wedding venue which fits your criteria and your budget is the key to managing your overall wedding costs.

Some factors that can greatly influence the cost of a wedding venue include the location, number of expected attendees, whether it is held on a weekday or weekend and if your banquet is held during lunch or dinner.

Wedding venues for the budget conscious

For couples who prefer to spend more money on their future home, they may feel that they don't need a five-star venue to celebrate their love. It's more about the people you are surrounded with rather than the pretty venue or the food you are eating! For those who do not want a very extravagant venue, there are some nice restaurants, event halls or country clubs to choose from instead of the usual hotel wedding venues.

Other than these, there are many other ways to keep your wedding affordable, such as having a church wedding with lunch reception or just going with a solemnisation ceremony with a smaller reception only for close family and friends.

Choosing hotel as a wedding venue
For couples who prefer a hotel wedding for its convenience and grandeur, there is a wide range of hotels to choose from that can offer a different atmosphere for different budgets. Certain hotel wedding venues require a minimum number of tables to fill, so the number of attendees must be determined to meet the requirement.
