# Event Venues in Singapore

Hotel wedding banquets in Singapore cost about $1,100–$2,600 per table of 10 before charges. Premium five-star Saturday dinners cost more. Most quotes are '++', so 10% service charge and 9% GST add about 20%. Any venue hosting public entertainment such as live music must be covered by a Singapore Police Force Public Entertainment Licence, and serving alcohol needs a liquor licence or permit.

## Licences
- **Public Entertainment Licence (PEL)** (Singapore Police Force, required): Under the Public Entertainments Act, any public entertainment (such as live music or performances) in a place open to the public must take place in a police-approved place under a PEL, unless an exemption applies. The penalty is a fine of up to $20,000. Hotels and established venues usually hold their own licences. Ad-hoc events may need the organiser to apply. Check: https://www.gobusiness.gov.sg/browse-all-licences/Singapore-Police-Force-(SPF)
- **Liquor licence / Class 5 Temporary Liquor Licence** (Singapore Police Force, required): Any supply of liquor needs a liquor licence. Venues that sell alcohol hold a permanent class licence. Event organisers selling liquor at a temporary venue need a Class 5 temporary licence (up to 30 days). Processing takes about 3 weeks. Check: https://www.gobusiness.gov.sg/browse-all-licences/Singapore-Police-Force-(SPF)/Class-5---Temporary-Liquor-Licence
- **Liquor Consumption Permit** (Singapore Police Force, optional): Needed by individuals without a business registration (UEN) who hold an event where liquor will be consumed in certain public places. Apply at least 4 working days before the event. Check: https://www.gobusiness.gov.sg/browse-all-licences/Singapore-Police-Force-(SPF)/Liquor-Consumption-Permit
- **Temporary Change of Use permit (fire safety)** (Singapore Civil Defence Force, optional): Needed for events with temporary structures such as tentage, booths or stages. This usually matters for outdoor or non-standard venues, not hotel ballrooms.

## How to choose
- Compare the per-table price after the ++. A $1,800++ table is roughly $2,160 after the 10% service charge and 9% GST. Also ask about corkage, overtime per hour and auspicious-date surcharges.
- Check the minimum guarantee, such as 150 guests or 15 tables. If your numbers drop, you still pay for the minimum.
- Weekday dinners and lunches are typically a few hundred dollars per table cheaper than Saturday evenings.
- If you want a live band, DJ or performances, confirm in writing that the venue's licence covers it. Also ask what the sound and end-time limits are.
- Find out which inclusions you actually need, such as free-flow beer, a wine waiver, centrepieces, a wedding cake or an overnight room.

## Red flags
- Quotes don't state whether prices are nett or ++, or which surcharges apply on your date.
- There is no written cancellation or postponement schedule before you pay the deposit.
- A private or pop-up venue can't say how alcohol or entertainment is licensed.
- You are pressed to pay a large deposit on the spot for a 'last available date' promotion.

## FAQs
### How much does a wedding banquet cost per table in Singapore?
Most hotel banquets cost about $1,100–$2,200 per table of 10 before charges in 2025–2026. Five-star Saturday dinners often run $1,800–$3,000+, and luxury or heritage venues can reach $4,500. Restaurants and clan venues start around $800. Most quotes are '++', so add about 20% for the 10% service charge and 9% GST.

### What does '++' mean on a venue quote?
'++' means 10% service charge and then 9% GST are added on top of the quoted price, an uplift of about 19.9%. For example, a $1,800++ table works out to roughly $2,158. 'Nett' prices already include both. Always compare venues on the after-tax figure.

### Do I need a licence to have a live band at my event?
Public entertainment in a place accessible to the public needs to be held under a Singapore Police Force Public Entertainment Licence, unless it is exempted. Hotels and established event spaces usually hold the necessary approvals. If you are organising an event at a non-standard venue, check with the venue and SPF via GoBusiness before booking performers.

### Can I bring my own alcohol to a wedding venue?
Most hotels and restaurants allow it but charge corkage per bottle, often with a number of bottles waived in the package. To sell alcohol at a temporary venue, you need an SPF Class 5 Temporary Liquor Licence, which takes about three weeks to process. Individuals hosting events where liquor is consumed in some public places may need a Liquor Consumption Permit.
