What are the unique aspects of a Marina Bay Sands wedding?

We have a dedicated team with decades of experiences in putting up spectacular and memorable weddings. A lot of effort and thought goes into making each wedding unique in its own way. This begins the moment couples contact us to make preparations for their weddings. A dedicated wedding consultant will walk through the wish-lists of each couple, offering guidance, banquet themes, cuisine, and floral services to ensure a seamless experience on the actual day. Besides our wedding services, Marina Bay Sands also offers creative and romantic venues for couples. For instance, the rooftop garden next to the level 4 ballrooms at Sands Expo and Convention Center gives a magnificent view of the bay – perfect for pre-dinner receptions. The Sands SkyPark is another beautiful venue for cocktail receptions, adding grandeur and glamour to cap a wonderful celebration.

What are your minimum and maximum capacities for a wedding dinner?

The pillar-free ballrooms on the 4th & 5th level at Sands Expo and Convention Center are perfect for creating classic or innovative weddings. Our Grand Ballroom, the largest in Southeast Asia, can seat up to 6,600 diners for a banquet that is lavish and exclusive. The ballrooms at Marina Bay Sands are designed in a way they allow the couple flexibility to host any number of people they may wish to. No matter how big or small, fancy or intimate our ballrooms can cater to just about any dream wedding.

How many weddings have been held at Marina Bay Sands?

We host approximately 2 weddings a week but on very special dates, such as 23 October, we were very happy to celebrate the joyous day with 10 couples. We have helped many couples create their dream weddings. One particularly grand one was for a couple who booked the Sands Ballroom on the 5th floor of Sands Expo and Convention Center. For that one night, the entire ballroom was decked out in whimsical deco to reflect the theme of Alice in Wonderland. It came with a 3-D stage setup, lovely floral arrangements, a customized 6-tier wedding cake and a live band to play all of the couple’s favorite songs. Outside the ballroom, the pre-dinner reception was just as impressive – huge bushes were trimmed to look like rabbits, butterflies and horses. There were even seats around a small tree to add to the wonderland theme. The pre-dinner reception was off to a beautiful start with music being played on the piano while guests mingled and had champagne. To pull off 10 weddings successfully in one night, with the right level of attention to each couple, shows that our wedding team is capable of working under pressure and delivering service at their very best.
