8 Alternative Venues To Hold A Unique Wedding In Singapore Under $20K

Ideally, marriage only happens once in a lifetime. Therefore, we approach wedding planning with utmost seriousness. Every couple has a dream wedding in mind, from the theme to the location and the wedding dress. We all want to have a perfect wedding.
But with the high costs of living in Singapore, planning a wedding can be taxing on the wallet.
Instead of traditional hotel banquets, we can consider alternative wedding venues. These locations allow you to be more creative in coming up with new concepts that are not only aesthetically appealing, but also more economic.
If you’re getting hitched and have a tight budget, here are some affordable alternative wedding venues in Singapore to fit a guest list that ranges between 50 to 395 guests.

Pro-tip? Always be sure to book with a reputable operator or broker, instead of going for the cheapest. They will be helping you every step of the way, especially when something goes wrong. An example would be Marina at Keppel Bay or and +65 6571 0000 for more details.
