I have to admit: like many other brides-to-be, I've spent an embarrassing amount of time envisioning my dream wedding. After all, when you've finally found the one, why shouldn't your special day be the grandest and most extravagant celebration of your life? Once the immense joy of getting engaged faded somewhat, it's time to get down to business-wedding planning is now in full swing.
Now planning a perfect event is a daunting task, and it's even more so when the event in question holds such personal significance. While I have a clear idea of the essentials I absolutely have to have in my ceremony-moody fall colours and peonies-I find myself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options and decisions to be made, especially when it comes to the venue. In search of a ballroom spacious enough to host close to 300 friends and family, while retaining a touch of exclusivity and intimacy, I'm thrilled to connect with Chanel Tan, assistant director of events at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach. Situated in the heart of Singapore's central business district and within striking distance of the Marina Bay area, the ultra-chic hotel expertly balances heritage with modern style, and comes complete with elegant interiors and furniture that doubles as artwork, checking numerous boxes for me in terms of location and aesthetics.
Tan puts my mind at ease within the first few minutes of meeting, reassuring me that JW Marriott and its exceptional events team are more than capable of making my dream wedding a reality.
