Other outdoor wedding venues in Singapore
June 8th 2007 by Husband in VenuesPeiying and I went to check out Mandai Orchid Garden and Beach Culture personally, but our research yielded other places in Singapore where one can hold outdoor weddings or solemnisations too.
For those who want beach weddings, Rasa Sentosa offers that option. It’s perhaps one of the pricier venues, but they throw in a free night’s stay and the menu looks really good. If you are planning for a small party, you might be out of luck with Rasa because they require a minimum of 80 pax (at least for this year). Nonetheless, Rasa Sentosa, being part of the Shangri-la group of hotels probably shouldn’t disappoint in terms of service and ambience.
For gardens and park settings, one can consider the Botanic Gardens, Bottle Tree Park or Sentosa itself. The Botanic Gardens grounds are generally free of charge, but you’ll have to check with them about that. I think certain areas are not. I didn’t go to Bottle Tree Park, but the imported Bottle Trees from Australia looks interesting. For those living in the North, this might be a good option, since the park is at Yishun. As for Sentosa, there are many venues on Sentosa to choose from, although I think the price might not come cheap.
If you want something more unique, consider either the Bird Park or the Zoo! The Bird Park has the world’s highest man-made waterfall (which looks pretty good in the pictures) and you can set a pair of lovebirds free after the solemnisation. I think it’s a pretty romantic idea.

Zoo Wedding setup
Of course, don’t expect the two places to come cheap though. For such setups, expect them to make you pay a premium for it.
The Singapore Art Museum (former SJI) technically isn’t an outdoor venue, but you usually have your reception in their courtyard, which is a pretty nice place. I quite like the colonial architecture of the place. The plus point is that it’s located in town, so it’s convenient for everyone. You can choose to either do the solemnisation in the Glass Hall or the auditorium upstairs (which was the chapel in the old days, so the inside reminds one of a church setting) before proceeding to the courtyard for the reception in the open-air courtyard.
As with all outdoor venues, make sure they have some wet-weather plans in place. Singapore’s weather can be unpredictable at times. And of course, don’t be afraid to negotiate for a better deal! If you can’t get a deal you want, there’s probably someplace else that will fit your budget. The fun in it all is to hunt for the place that suits you best in terms of everything! Of course, it can be pretty tiring to run to all these places. It might sometimes be easier to pay more for a wedding planner and have them do everything for you.

You can also consider Raffles Hotel, they have a nice & cosy garden for outdoor wedding. They can move the event indoor in case it rains.

Hi,
It’s really great to see your whole planning process and the joy and effort that you both have put in! I’m looking forward to attending your solemnisation ceremony =) Did you guys check out any other outdoor venues for your solemnisation? Haha I’m kinda interested so I can KIV for my turn =P

Seow Hui!
Haha..
Yeah, you can start scouting out for venues now! 
As mentioned in the blog, we’ve so far looked at this restaurant in Pasir Ris by the beach, but it’s kind of pricey (though I believe with the chocolate and cheese fondues, it would be a truly unique experience!), Mandai Orchid Garden, Bottle Tree Garden (nothing special in terms of the place except for the few unique looking trees, and it’s in a truly ulu spot, though I must say I have never tried the food), Botanic Gardens, Singapore Arts Museum (the glass house is pretty, and the auditorium is nice too, a european chapel feel
). I have photos of most of these places I have mentioned, so do let me know if you are interested in any of the above-mentioned places and I can just send them to you! Rasa Sentosa looks like a nice place too, but due to budget constraints, we did not personally go down to take a look. Apparently Mount Faber has some pretty spots too (Jewel Box and a Glass Room i think), and Fort Canning has a few pretty restaurants too. It all depends on what kind of place you are looking for and what you are expecting to achieve. Nothing beats going down to the place personally though. 
I’m really excited about the whole affair as well!

Dear Peiying,
Congratulations your marriage from 6+ months ago. I believe both of you have been having the great time for marriage life. Wish you two all the best.
I’m very interesting of your information due to I’m looking for outdoor solemnization on 8 June 08 and thank you for both of you did share it here.
With limited budget, I would like to organize the solemnization with informal buffet lunch in garden or beach for approx. 25 pax.
I’m Vietnamese and my hubby is Singaporean but both of us is currently in Vietnam so we have limited time to go around to check. We plan to file notice of marriage on April 14 but until now, not yet known any place suitable with our budget, or any JP.
Following your mentioned place, I did send email to ask around but I would be very happy if you can suggest us from your experience about the place, price, solemniser, ect…
I much appreciate your advice and hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards,
Vivian

Hi,
Congrats on your wonderful marriage…
I can see that your webbie did attract lots of Going to get married Peeps! anyway, I would just like to voice out to all that i highly recommend Keppel Club?? There is a beautiful outdoor dias and it can cater to your personalized needs. My planner was Sylver she is from Keppel Club … she did a good job. To those who require her contact, just drop me a mail.

Hi Adora,
Me and my hubby are considering Keppel Club (vs. Beach Culture) as well. We love the poolside location with the seaview outlook. We hooked up with Sylver but her response was not speedy enuff (revert only after almost 1 month). Could you share your package with us so we have a better idea what they can offer?

Hi Kind Souls,

Hi I am Grace. Congrate to all the couples
I would like to take a look on the Singapore Arts Musuem photos. Would appreciate if you could send me. Thanks in advance

Dear Frankie,
Adora is always very busy pardon her for not providing you a speedy response. Heard there are some restructuring going on. Anyway… i think the cheapest menu will range from 400bucks to 1000bucks. As common i took something which is around 500bucks range. She threw in alot of things even going all the way out to do up the decorations herself. Best part as you know, both my hubby and i are so busy and did not have the chance to taste the food…. Sylver got the kitchen to prepare some snacks for us and served to us personally when my wedding ended.
Its her thoughtfulness that touched me and got me into proposing Keppel to all my friends for events.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Ha… i found her direct contact number… u can give her a call at 82220900… let her know that you are recommended by Adora.. ask her to give you a good price for your banquet or ROM ceremony.. GOOD LUCK!

I’ve already listed the venues we scouted for our weddings in this blog. If they are not suitable for you, I’m afraid I can’t offer any more assistance because I do not know of other venues.

I have attended the wedding at the Singapore Jurong Bird Park. The whole event looks very grand and I like the sound of the birds and waterfall. It is wonderful! The food catering is great too!

Hi all, i am currently in a wedding network company where i could offer help to all of the happy couples planning their upcoming weddings. We have a huge network of corporate partners where you could get much better rate through us than when you contact them directly. And we offer our wedding planning help too, but of course, the couples decision is way above us! =] For more information on how we could help, just feel free to email me at jerine_42@hotmail.com

Most outdoor weddings are ironically not cheap options. Bars & western restaurants charge way over the top taking into account the business loss but most of the time, the outdoor setting is quite unique. The White Rabbit is definitely a very cozy and relaxed place to hold your solmenisation and if you have the budget, do go for it. Villa Raintree is cheap and nice but not quite worth the effort for poor service.

Hi Bride-to-be Says:
Can you please show me those photos you got for the venue cos i am looking for one for my rom in Sept 10.
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:56 pm
hi, my friend, a doctor held his wedding at Naumi.
the hotel is at bugis, and not very tall, but therefore has a great viewing! and i believe it is not exp.
but the reception hall may not look luxury.
