The Garden Wedding

Peiying gave a short introduction to Beach Culture, Watercross @ Pasir Ris in the last entry. I thought the place was really nice. For a beach wedding/solemnisation, it’s not exactly the most perfect stuff (i.e. the kinds of things you see in movies) but it’s close enough, and it is the closest you can get in Singapore.

The other thing about Beach Culture is that it serves really top grade food. The restaurant is actually an offshoot of the Swiss Culture restaurant at Suntec City, which apparently serves award winning food. The package includes a cheese and chocolate fondue station with a chef, which is really cool. Of course, fondue might not go down well with everyone, especially older folks, but it should be a hit with the younger people.

Since it is by the beach, the events planner we spoke to said it was possible to have a jet-ski style of wedding march-in. I thought that was really cool, although I wonder how to avoid getting completely wet in the process. Oh, speaking about the events planner, the guy we were liaising with, Raymond, was really great. I give him two thumbs up for service. He’s always accessible by phone, and he’s very willing to try and accommodate to our concerns. I also found the service to be very personal. If you want to have a chat with Raymond to explore the possibility of holding a wedding at Beach Culture, drop me a line using the contact form.

There’s a drawback to Beach Culture, though. The place is not very big, and according to Raymond, above 150 people will be too crowded. Therefore, the place is only suitable for smaller groups. That suited me fine, because if the crowd is too big, you can’t get to interact with everyone on your big day. Oh, that it is located at Pasir Ris might be a problem for people living in the western part of the island, so transport arrangements would have to be made.

It was a tough call between Beach Culture, Watercross @ Pasir Ris and Mandai Orchid Garden. Both of them are nice in their own right. More on Mandai Orchid Garden later.
