Now that you have to choose a hotel to hold your wedding, where would you choose? 3 stars? 4 or 5 stars? Confused with the various hotels in Singapore? Overwhelmed with the numerous hotels being offered? Want to know which one to choose? First off, the two of you would have to determine the number of guests. These would provide you on how large the space you would like to have during your wedding dinner.

Next, determine if you would like pillarless ballrooms. Some couples prefer to have pillarless ballrooms as they wish to have their guests a whole view the process during their march in. In addition, without the pillars, the room may feel wider without making anyone feel claustrophobic. Without the pillars, the guests would also have a full view of the stage.
