hello again BB, yes I nearly fainted when I heard 8 grand for the hall! I know for the reception buffets there is a 200pax minimum quota to fill. However if you book with the restaurants, I believe you can work around the number of guests you're inviting. However I would imagine that the...

Hi BB_Queen, if you are just renting the hall in Chijmes, it's currently going for SGD8000++ in 2007. And this would not even include any decor or other amenities. However the cheaper option is to buy the reception/hi-tea/lunch packages they offer, which can cost you around SGD45+++/pax to...

thanks LoveActually! We've went ahead with Chijmes because of its location and our desire for a church with Character. We weren't sure if our guests had cars or were ok with transport, so that was our final pick. Not to mention we needed some place to rest in the meantime, so we picked Swissotel...

Hi Blossom, yes, unfortunately it is true, if you wish only to use the hall, the rental stays at 8K, if and only if you select lunch packages from them, then you don't have to pay for hall rental. I jsut hope the food is good. As for dinner tables, they didn't mention about having to pay for...

hey Cactus, yeah unfortunately that rate was the latest one that my wedding planner quoted! My heart sank when she told us - we had planned our dream wedding but alas, such news... the lunch packages are ex and rather unexciting so... It's 8K for just the hall and a very basic set-up - might...

Hi Cactus, thanks heaps for the headsup. Chijmes just informed me that hall rental is looking like SGD8000+. CAN YOU IMAGINE?! I'm in dire need for an alternative location, otherwise pay heaps for their packages... Sigh.

hey Roses, out of curiosity, you've tried the Buffet at a Chijmes wedding before right? Can you give your inputs/ feedback on the food and service? thanks.

thanks for everybody's contribution. Except my mum wants me married in a church, and since my own church is too small to accommodate our 300+ guests, we had to pick Chijmes for the church wedding/ceremony. Looks like I'm in quite a fix eh? For dinner, my darling and I are looking at...

From the menus I've looked at Chijmes, it appears that tea reception menus starts like around SGD50, whilst lunch buffet can cost up to around SGD80. Not sure about food quality but am taking ngjoan's word for it. Hope that works out. My wedding planner has done wedding at Chijmes before...

Hi teresa, yes it's beautiful and utterly romantic. one of my gfs had her ceremony there, but as I need to look for a venue which accommodations 200pax, it's going to quite tough doing it at Glass House.

Yup, Blossom, I just heard that Chijmes now has their own caterer and food isn't that bad. I hope that works out.

thanks heaps for the heads up pastor. I'll be sure to check out the location!

hey thanks heaps... i tot of using goodwood park as an alternative place too, full of flavour!

hi, thanks for the inputs. My hubby to be will be baptised this Sept, whilst I'm baptised years back. As our church is only able to accommodate up to 250pax, he doesn't want to have the guests seated in the carpark under a marque. Thus we're looking for a church which can accommodate all of our...

woah this thread is truly a gem! why didn't u start this before? anyhow i just roped in a wedding planner, since my future hubby wun be around too much of the time, plus my work schedule, we are hoping we have someone to do most of the work. I hope she helps us with saving heaps...

I'm looking for a christian church venue, able to house some 300-400 guests comfortably. Chijmes was on my dream list but it appears to only be able to take up to 300 guests. Any christian churches available that will allow non-members to wed in their church? We're looking for a church...

yeah heard 4 seasons is good, so is raffles hotel, and ACM. very cosy... otherwise botanic gardens or sentosa is a pretty good place to go, i heard...

hey cactus, yeah i heard the same thing, but hey u can negotiate for buffet styled luncheons/ receptions too. and with a crowd large enuff with a more ex menu, u dun end up having to pay for rental of the lawn/ hall... at least that's what i heard... do u know of any other locations able to...

Any suggestion on where I can do my church ceremony/ reception apart from Chijmes for some 300-400 people? It's crazy.... And I think Chijmes only allow ONE of their caterers, no outsiders allowed. What about an intimate banquet of about 18 tables for family and close friends in the...

Does anybody know if you're allowed to bring in your own caterer for a Chijmes wedding? U see, we're looking to do our church ceremony at Chijmes and have our caterer, NOT KRISTON (i heard food so-so) do the reception/ hi-tea on the lawn. So far it's probably the only place I know which can...
