Picking a venue for an intimate wedding of 50–100 guests in Singapore means balancing atmosphere, logistics and cost. Below we've shortlisted seven memorable spots that fit that guest size, with feature checklist you can use when you’re shortlisting.
Gardens by the Bay – Secret Life of Trees (outdoor)
Secret Life of Trees is an elevated outdoor lawn within the World of Plants area, ideal for an alfresco solemnisation or sunset cocktail reception. The space is intimate by Gardens by the Bay standards and feels private thanks to mature planting and views toward the Supertree Grove. Area and capacity details list the flat lawn and main garden space suitable for small ceremonies and receptions – think cosy, photo-friendly and perfect for guests who enjoy greenery and the light show after dusk.
-
Intimate garden setting under Supertree Grove—especially magical during the light-show.
-
Size: 475 sqm total; includes a 165 sqm flat lawn—great for ceremony or standing guests.
-
Capacity: up to 150 pax (standing).
Gardens by the Bay – Waterview Room (indoor option)
If you want the Gardens’ vibe but prefer air-conditioning and a formal sit-down dinner, the Waterview Room (adjoining Flower Field Hall) is a strong pick. It’s an indoor event room with panoramic bay and Marina Bay skyline views that works well for plated dinners or theatre-style ceremonies. Capacity figures show the Waterview Room supports sit-down dinners and receptions at a much larger scale, but it can be configured for more intimate layouts that suit 50–100 guests. For couples wanting gardens + comfort, this is a logical compromise.

Size: ~600 sqm.

Capacity: 500 (standing cocktail), 300 (sit-down dinner), 200 (theatre).
HortPark – Multipurpose Hall
HortPark is part of Singapore’s Southern Ridges and offers a collection of flexible spaces. The multipurpose hall and nearby lawns make it easy to combine indoor and outdoor segments for your wedding day – for example a simple indoor solemnisation followed by cocktails on the lawn. NParks lists the venue sizes and booking fees, and the park’s aesthetic is very green-forward with mature planting and trails for photos. It’s a practical, nature-forward alternative to city hotels.
What to check – booking slots and timing (parks often have set hire blocks), furniture and AV inclusions, and whether external caterers and marquees are allowed on the spots you prefer.
-
Flexible indoor space that opens to the elegant Silver Garden via full-length glass doors.
-
Size: 249 sqm.
-
Capacity: 200 seated; 250 standing
Vineyard @ HortPark
If you like rustic charm, Vineyard at HortPark blends wooden finishes, foliage and cosy indoor spaces that feel like a private dinner in the woods. It’s marketed specifically for weddings and small functions and is often used for seated dinners in the 50–100 pax range. The venue team offers curated menus and tends to work closely with caterers, making logistics simpler for couples who want a turnkey feel without losing the green surroundings.
Quick tip – Vineyard’s maximum seated capacity hovers around the top end of your range, so confirm table layout options and whether you want a dance floor (this can reduce usable seated capacity).
-

Spaces & capacities:

Indoor Dining Hall: up to 85 pax.
-
Air-conditioned Verandah: up to 48 pax.

The Star Vista – Star Loft
Located in the Buona Vista / One-North cluster, The Star Vista’s Star Loft is a rooftop/loft-style space that gives a modern, intimate vibe with an adjoining terrace. It’s a practical choice if your guests are coming from across the island because it’s MRT-connected and has good transport links. The Star Loft is frequently promoted for intimate weddings and receptions with capacities around the 100–140 pax mark depending on layout, which means it fits your 50–100 pax target comfortably while giving you a city-chic backdrop.
Logistics to note – The Star PAC has preferred caterers lists and specific loading/curfew arrangements so ask about those early if you need late-night music or extended setup time.
ArtNow
ArtNow is a gallery-meets-event space that works well if you want a contemporary, minimalist backdrop for your celebration. Gallery venues are great for couples who want their décor to pop against clean walls and exhibited art. Event sizes for private hire vary by gallery configuration, and ArtNow’s flexible zones allow small ceremonies, cocktail receptions or seated dinners. If you prioritise creative visuals, a gallery like ArtNow offers a unique atmosphere that’s different from the usual hotel ballrooms.
Advice – galleries may have stricter rules on hanging, staging and catering (e.g., spill risks), so confirm those restrictions with the gallery manager.
Raffles House (Fort Canning) – colonial charm
Raffles House on Fort Canning Hill is a single-storey colonial-style building set within lush grounds. It’s a favourite for intimate, heritage-flavoured weddings and can comfortably host an indoor wedding for roughly 80–100 guests, with extra outdoor lawn space for small ceremonies or photo sessions. The venue combines period architecture with a private garden, making it ideal if you want formal portraits and a vintage aesthetic.
Practical checks – Raffles House is managed under park event policies, so you’ll need to check booking availability, permitted timings and whether you require a marquee for additional guests. It’s very photogenic, but also popular, so book early.
-

Size & capacity: Indoor ~100 sqm; Outdoor lawn ~1,000 sqm. Seating: up to 80 indoor, up to 100 combined indoor + lawn; standing: 80 indoor, 150 combined
