How the date is held
- Enquiry — the date, the occasion and an approximate guest count. An enquiry does not hold the date.
- Scope and viewing — a written scope for the tier you chose, and a short viewing of the space if you want one. Both are free, and neither holds the date.
- Deposit — 25% of the tier figure, paid against the invoice. The date stops being offered to anyone else the moment the deposit clears. Until then it stays available, and we say so if another enquiry asks about it. The deposit is applied to your total.
- Second payment — a further 25%, fifteen days before the celebration.
- Balance — the remaining 50% and the guest-count adjustment, settled on the day.
Moving the date is free where the calendar allows it, and the deposit carries across once, to a date within 90 days. Cancelling more than 30 days out returns half the deposit; inside 30 days the deposit is not refundable, because the date cannot be re-sold at short notice.
Styling: inside the tier, or an add-on with a number
- Inside every tier: table linen, tableware in one palette, and the tier’s own arrangement
- An arrangement beyond the tier’s own — from S$180 each
- A themed backdrop or photo wall — from S$450
- An additional hour — S$350 in Tier 01 and 02, S$500 in Tier 03
- A cake table and cake styling — S$120, included in Tier 03
- Your own decorator: access opens with the setup window, and they work to the house rules
Money in this block is illustrative concept pricing, not a quotation. Decor you bring in is your supplier’s responsibility, and anything fixed to a wall or ceiling is agreed with the venue first.
The countdown
What happens
between now and the date.
Celebrations are usually decided late, so the payment moments and the headcount deadline sit in the same list as the date.
- Ten weeks out
The tier is chosen and the date is held with the deposit. Output: a written scope naming the tier, the duration, the guest allowance and the styling included.
- Six weeks out
Styling agreed, including anything that has to be ordered. Output: an add-on list with a price against each item, and the balance it creates.
- Four weeks out
Catering or menu decided, and the timing of the celebration written down. Output: a run order, shared with anyone setting up.
- Fifteen days out
Second payment of 25%. Output: a receipt and a statement of what remains outstanding.
- Seven days out
The guest count confirmed as the number we staff, order and charge against. Output: the confirmed headcount in writing, and its effect on the invoice.
- On the day
Setup inside the tier’s window, the celebration run to the run order, and the balance settled. Output: a final invoice that matches the scope and the add-on list.
- Afterwards
Pack-down and a walk-round with the host. Output: any damage or extra-cleaning item stated in writing before the security deposit is released.
| Occasion | Usually needs | What decides it |
|---|---|---|
| Birthday, 20 to 50 guests | 4 to 6 weeks | The date itself, and whether a specific tier is wanted for it |
| Milestone or anniversary dinner, 50 to 100 guests | 6 to 10 weeks | The catering choice, and any styling that has to be ordered |
| Solemnisation or full buyout | 3 months and up | Officiant timing, the layout, and whether the whole space is taken |
| Baby milestone or full-month celebration | 3 to 6 weeks | The guest count, which settles late, and the seating it needs |
A date inside the shorter window is not impossible. It means fewer options, less say in the styling, and a crew arranged around what is left.
Occasions we take
Named scopes,
not adjectives.
Each occasion below is a scope with its own guest band, layout and lead time. Say which one it is and the enquiry starts in the right place.

A ceremony and a lunch in one room, with the ceremony timing and the changeover stated in the run order.
Discuss a ceremony ↗What the space holds
| Layout | Guests | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Seated at rounds | Up to 60 | The layout for a dinner; the comfortable number is 45 to 55 |
| Buffet with standing tables | Up to 70 | Needs a queue line that does not cross the serving area |
| Standing | Up to 100 | Suits a reception or a cake cutting, not a meal |
| Rows, no tables | Up to 80 | Used for a solemnisation or a short presentation |
- Included at no extra charge: tables, chairs, tableware in one palette, glassware, a sound system, a fridge and the tier’s setup window
- A refundable security deposit of S$500, released after the walk-round
- A cleaning charge of S$120 per booking, stated outside the tier figure
- A 10% service charge on the tier and on catering, stated outside the tier figure
- Card payments carry a 3% processing fee; a bank transfer does not
Money in this list is illustrative concept pricing, not a quotation, and each item appears as its own line on the written quotation.
Where we work
- Central, east and north-east Singapore, including venues we do not operate: we bring the styling, the run order and the crew to your space
- West and north Singapore: a travel charge applies and is quoted before the date is held
- Elsewhere on the island: quoted per booking, decided by the crew number and the hours
Where the celebration happens at a venue you booked yourself, its access hours, house rules and cleaning charges apply, and confirming them is yours to do.
At your headcount
What it costs
at your number.
A tier figure is a starting point, not the bill. These are the per-head bands and the scaling rules that decide the figure at your guest count.
| Occasion | Per guest | Comfortable number |
|---|---|---|
| Birthday, afternoon | S$28 to S$45 | 30 to 60 guests |
| Birthday or anniversary, evening | S$42 to S$65 | 40 to 80 guests |
| Milestone seated dinner | S$55 to S$85 | 45 to 60 seated |
| Baby milestone, daytime | S$25 to S$38 | 30 to 70 guests |
| Solemnisation and lunch | S$60 to S$95 | 40 to 60 seated |
| Item | Rate | How it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| Each additional guest | S$30 to S$55 | Per guest beyond the tier’s included number, at the rate for the occasion |
| Additional hour | S$350 to S$500 | Per hour beyond the tier’s duration, agreed before the day |
| Styling beyond the tier | From S$180 | Per arrangement, backdrop or themed set, quoted from a reference |
| Catering upgrade | From S$12 per guest | Per guest, per upgrade, stated against the catering basis |
| Weekend and December dates | From S$400 | Per booking, added to the tier figure rather than buried in a per-head rate |
Who counts, and when the number is fixed
- Everyone in the room counts: adults, children and guests who are not eating. Seating, tableware and cleaning follow the room, not the menu.
- Children under three are not counted, and a high chair is provided at no charge.
- The confirmed count is due seven days before the celebration and becomes the number we staff, order and charge against.
- Guests added after that date are possible where the layout allows it, charged at the per-head rate plus the additional-guest rate.
- Reducing the count inside the last seven days does not reduce the invoice, because the order has already been placed.
These guest-count terms are the operator’s own, and they are restated in the written confirmation when the date is held.
What is added, and what comes back
- 10% service charge on the tier figure and on catering, stated outside the headline figure
- S$120 cleaning charge per booking
- S$500 security deposit, refundable after the walk-round, less any damage or extra cleaning stated in writing
- 3% card processing fee, avoided by paying by bank transfer
- Anything you bring in yourself: your caterer’s or decorator’s own charges, and their responsibility
When the number stops moving
- The final guest count is taken 7 days before the date and that is the number billed. The guaranteed-attendance rule is written on the quotation, not settled on the night.
- Small additions are accepted up to 48 hours before the date where the kitchen can cover them. Reductions after the count is fixed do not reduce the bill, and no partial refund applies to guests who do not arrive.
- The deposit holds the date and is applied to the final balance. If the date is released inside the stated window it is not refunded — a released Saturday is usually taken within the week, and the quotation says so before you pay.
- A signed authorisation and the deposit are both required before the date is held. Neither one alone does it, and a held date is not offered to anyone else.
Nothing here is a quotation. The quotation states the tier figure, every add-on, the guest-count rate and the deposit schedule for your date.
Three celebrations, as they were scoped
A tier, a headcount,
and what was added.
Each card names the occasion, the venue type, the guest count and the tier bought — the four facts that decide the invoice.
Full-month celebration · function room, Central · 46 guests · Tier 02, daytime
A daytime booking with one catering upgrade per guest, the setup window agreed with the venue, and the room reset in the tier’s four hours.
Solemnisation and lunch · full venue buyout, Central · 58 seated · Tier 03
The ceremony changeover written into the run order, so the room was turned between the solemnisation and the lunch without the guests waiting in the corridor.
Explore the birthday brief ↗
84 guests, a seated dinner in Tier 02, one additional hour, a themed backdrop and decorator access two hours before. The quotation names the tier figure, the per-head rate beyond the 50 included guests, each add-on as its own line, the deposit schedule and the guest-count deadline.
Who runs your celebration
A named host,
and what is put in writing.
The person you meet is the person on the floor. What the business holds, and what it does not, is stated the same way.
The person named on the quotation
One name on the scope, on the run order and on the floor. If the host changes, you are told in writing and introduced to the replacement before the date.
The host is named on the quotation, with the celebrations they have run here and the languages they work in.On the quotation
The business registration number is printed on the quotation, with the food-safety or liquor licence that applies to the space we propose, who holds it, and the insurance the venue requires. Where a certificate exists it is shown as a document with a number on it, not as a badge on a web page.
Where an occasion needs an officiant, a permit or a building approval, we say plainly whose name it has to be in — it is not ours to hold.
No certification, licence or accreditation claim is made here.The crew, and what each is doing
A seated dinner for 60 runs with three people: one hosting, one on setup and clearing, one on the door and the timing. The crew number scales with the guest count and is written on the scope, not decided on the day.
Setup opens with the tier’s window, or earlier where you are bringing your own decorator and the calendar allows it.
A Table tier date runs with three crew from two hours before the first guest; Room and Full venue dates run with five crew from three hours before. Both numbers are printed on the written confirmation.Five stages, five deliverables
What you hold
at every stage.
Most celebrations are described up to the deposit and no further. Delivery is where a fixed scope either holds or does not, so here it is in order.
- 1 · Scope
The tier, the duration, the included guest number and the styling in it, in writing. Deliverable: the scope document, before any payment is made.
- 2 · Hold
The deposit clears and the date stops being offered to anyone else. Deliverable: a dated confirmation and the payment schedule.
- 3 · Styling and run order
Add-ons chosen with a price against each, and the timing of the celebration written down. Deliverable: the add-on list and the run order.
- 4 · Delivery
Setup inside the window, the celebration run to the run order, and the host on the floor. Deliverable: the walk-round with you before the first guest arrives.
- 5 · Handover and defects
Pack-down, then a walk-round with the host. Anything damaged or needing extra cleaning is listed in writing and the security deposit is released less those items. Deliverable: a written handover note and the final invoice.

Tier 02 birthday dinner · sample story
Sample story. Not a real customer review.The questions that decide it
Before you
commit.
What is actually different between the three tiers?
Duration, the number of guests included, the styling that comes with it, the facilities and the crew. The labels are the same under each tier on purpose, so the difference is the value in the row rather than a different description. Anything outside the tier is priced as an add-on and listed separately.
How does the deposit work, and what happens if we cancel?
The deposit is 25% of the tier figure and it is applied to your total. The date stops being offered to anyone else when it clears. Move the date and the deposit carries across once, to a date within 90 days, where the calendar allows it. Cancel more than 30 days out and half of it is returned; inside 30 days it is not refundable, because the date cannot be re-sold at short notice.
The guest count will change. What then?
Everyone in the room counts, including children and guests who are not eating, because seating, tableware and cleaning follow the room. The confirmed count is due seven days out and becomes the number we staff, order and charge against. Guests added after that are possible where the layout allows, at the per-head rate plus the additional-guest rate. Reducing the count inside the last seven days does not reduce the invoice.
Can we bring our own caterer or decorator?
Yes, where the venue and its rules allow it, and the charges of your own suppliers are yours. Your decorator gets access with the tier’s setup window. Anything fixed to a wall or ceiling is agreed with the venue first, and we say so before the styling is chosen rather than on the day.
How far ahead should we book?
Four to six weeks is workable for a birthday, six to ten weeks for a seated milestone dinner, and three months or more for a solemnisation or a full buyout. Weekend evenings and December are held first. A date inside the shorter window is not impossible; it means fewer options and less say in the styling.
What is not included in the figure we are quoted?
The 10% service charge, the S$120 cleaning charge, the refundable S$500 security deposit, the card processing fee if you pay by card, any styling beyond the tier, additional hours, guest counts above the allowance, and the charges of any supplier you bring in. Each one is a line on the quotation, not a surprise on the day.
Start with the date
Tell us the date,
and the number.
Send the occasion, the date and an approximate guest count. What comes back is a written scope for the tier that fits, with the deposit schedule and the guest-count deadline on it.
The date is held by the deposit, not by this message, and we will say so plainly if another enquiry is asking about the same date. The scope names what is inside the tier, what is an add-on, and what gets added on top.
Concept only. Nothing is sent or booked.
From enquiry to a held date
- Send the enquiry with the date, the occasion and an approximate guest count.
- A written scope comes back, and a short viewing of the space if you want one. Neither the enquiry nor the viewing holds the date.
- Pay the 25% deposit. This is the moment the date stops being offered to anyone else.
- Confirm the guest count seven days out; settle the balance and any adjustment on the day.
The deposit is applied to your total. Half of it is returned where you cancel more than 30 days out, and it carries across to a new date within 90 days where the calendar allows it.
