A banquet venue makes up more than half of the expenses for a typical wedding in Singapore, where couples may spend from $18,000 to $40,0000 just on booking the venue. You can save money by scheduling the reception at a certain time and day of the week.
For instance, having the reception at lunchtime on a weekday is cheaper than the same time on a weekend. If you plan to hold the reception at dinnertime on a weekend, you should prepare to spend even more. Here are the wedding banquet rates per table of four hotels near Outram:
Fullerton Hotel Singapore
A weekend lunch reception at the Fullerton Hotel costs around $1,650, while a weekend dinner costs almost $1,800. Lunchtime and dinnertime reception during the weekday cost 1,550 and around $1,700, respectively. Multiply the rate at your chosen time with the number of tables and you can see how the price changes when you have a bigger guest list.
Marina Bay Sands
At the Marina Bay Sands, the per-table rates cost around $1,340 for a weekend lunch. A weekend dinner costs $1,635 per table. The rates for weekdays are the same, so you might as well book a banquet venue during the weekend to be sure that most guests can attend the wedding.
Sofitel Singapore City Centre
Sofitel’s prices for lunch and dinner banquets are the same whether you schedule on a weekend or weekday. A lunchtime banquet costs $1,750 per table, while a dinner banquet costs around $2,000 per table.
Four Points by Sheraton Singapore, Riverview
A wedding reception at this hotel is cheaper than the other three venues. You get to save the most when you book a lunchtime banquet at $1,100 per table during weekdays. A weekday dinner reception costs almost $1,290 per table. The rates are more expensive during weekends when the hotel charges $1,220 and $1,400 for lunch and dinner banquets, respectively.
If you can’t trim your guest list to control the expenses, you can still save money by asking a friend or family member to do the wedding photography instead of hiring a professional. By doing so, you can save at least $2,500.
