2) Empress Restaurant

What's included at $188.80++ per pax

Maximum Capacity

• Indoor seated: 110 Pax 

• Outdoor seated: 70 Pax

✅ 8 Course Chinese Fine Dining Menu

✅ 3 Hours free flow soft drinks and Chinese tea

✅ Complimentary sparkling wine for toasting

✅ Food tasting up to 6 pax

✅ 3 VIP parking spots

✅ E invitation cards

Cons

✖️ Additional cost of marquee tent required for wet-weather backup

✖️ Venue remains open to the public — no full restaurant exclusivity

✖️ Guests seated outdoors may not hear activities happening indoors

✖️ Outdoor guests will be under direct sunlight during lunch hours

✖️ Full-day photography and videography not included

Empress Restaurant ups the game with 8 courses at $173.80++ per person for lunch and $188.00++ for dinner. You're paying for a fine-dining experience with plate-by-plate service. They include 3 hours of free-flow soft drinks, and Chinese tea, plus a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine for toasting. The food tasting is complimentary for 6 people on their banquet menu. However, there's no hotel stay and no parking on-site, but they do offer 3 VIP parking spots at the Asian Civilisations Museum entrance nearby. The restaurant can seat 110 people inside, and if you want additional outdoor seating, a marquee is needed for weather protection—just note that this is arranged through a third-party vendor and costs extra on top of your package. Empress works best if you love fine dining in an intimate setting.

Note: Empress Restaurant is not fully exclusively closed for wedding events.

If the outdoor area is not booked, the restaurant remains open to the public. While the venue may assure that operations will not interfere with the celebration, guests from the public will need to pass through the wedding area to access the restrooms. This means you may occasionally notice non-wedding guests appearing in the background of photos or videos.

3) Red House Seafood

What's included at $198.80++ per pax

Maximum Capacity - 140 pax

✅ 8 Course Chinese Fine Dining Menu

✅ 4 Hours free flow soft drinks and Chinese tea

✅ Complimentary champagne for toasting

✅ 20% complimentary parking for your guests

Red House Seafood is specifically designed for smaller, more intimate weddings with a maximum of 140 people. Their pricing is $198.00++ per person. The big draw here is their plate-by-plate fine-dining service, which feels premium and sophisticated. You get 4 hours of free-flow soft drinks, beer, and wine, plus a 30-litre barrel of beer and a bottle of house wine for every table of 10 guests. They sweeten the deal with a $20 dining voucher for every guest, seasonal wedding favours, and a champagne fountain for toasting. Parking coupons are provided for 20% of your guests, and there's a 20% discount on pre-ordered wine and beer with at least 2 weeks' notice.

There's no hotel stay available at this venue though. Red House is perfect if you want an upscale, intimate experience with incredible food quality.

Note: Red House Seafood is more suitable for small and intimate weddings.

When the guest count approaches the maximum capacity of 140 pax, space becomes limited — there is no room for a couple’s march-in, and without a stage setup, the overall area can feel rather compact.

4) Chijmes Hall

What's included at $222.80++

Minimum Capacity 160 pax

Maximum Capacity 200 pax

✅ 6 Course Chinese Fine Dining

✅ Reception table styling by a flower invite

✅ Fresh flower arrangement

✅ Free Flow Soft drinks

✅ Food tasting for 2 pax

✅ 30L 1 Barrel of Beer

✅ 1 Bottle of house wine per table

Cons

✖️ Public toilets are shared with other restaurants

✖️ Hotel stay not included

✖️ Additional surcharge of $10++ per pax for auspicious dates

✖️ Full-day photography and videography not included

✖️ No parking available for wedding guests

✖️ Not wheelchair friendly

Chijmes Hall is the premium option for couples who want an iconic, high-end venue. The pricing is steep at $222.80++ per person for both lunch and dinner Chinese menu (160 pax minimum). They offer 6 courses of fine dining, and the venue itself is part of the appeal—it's a stunning heritage building. The alcohol includes complimentary barrels of beer and bottles of house wine depending on your guaranteed headcount (more guests = more drinks included). You also get a bottle of champagne and one bottle per table for toasting. Here's the catch: there's an additional $10 per person surcharge on auspicious dates, which can add up. The couple gets to choose only one perk from several options: extra beer, table styling by a florist, a night in an executive hotel room, extra wine, live feed for 3 hours, or butler-passed canapes. The minimum spending is listed as 160 people, which is their fixed minimum. Chijmes is for couples who prioritise venue prestige and don't mind paying for it.

Note: This venue offers a “Crazy Rich Asians”–style wedding experience, but it comes with a higher price tag and some aspects that may not feel entirely luxurious.

There is an additional charge of $10++ per guest for auspicious dates, and the venue features multiple staircases and steps, making it less suitable for elderly guests or those requiring wheelchair access.

The restrooms are located a distance away and shared with nearby restaurants. As there are only a few cubicles available, guests may experience queues during weddings.

5) Min Jiang @ Dempsey

What's included at $188.80++

Minimum Capacity 110 pax

Maximum Capacity 170 pax

✅ 7 Course Chinese Fine Dining

✅ Free Flow Soft drinks and Chinese tea

Cons

✖️ Portable projector may result in obstructed views

✖️ No Stage

✖️ Not every guest can see the couple

✖️ Beer not included – Tiger Draft Beer priced at $600++ (20 litres) or $850++ (30 litres)

✖️ Full-day photography and videography not included

✖️ Open car park at Dempsey (no shelter from car park to restaurant if raining)

✖️ Secluded location with no nearby public transportation

Min Jiang @ Dempsey offers an intimate setting with 7 courses at $188.80++ per person for lunch and $218.80++ per person for dinner. This is more of a boutique venue designed for smaller celebrations, with a capacity of 110 to 170 people. What you need to know: there's no complimentary beer or wine—you pay separately. Tiger Draft Beer costs $600++ for 20 litres or $850 ++ for 30 litres. However, they waive corkage charges for sealed, duty-paid hard liquor, and they offer 50% off corkage for wine and champagne you bring in. The venue includes free-flow Chinese tea and soft drinks, a PA system with microphones, a projector and screen, and they provide a wedding signature book and red packet box. There's no hotel stay or parking provided. Min Jiang works well if you're a smaller group that wants a cozy, intimate atmosphere and doesn't mind managing your own alcohol costs.

Note: This location is less ideal during wet weather as there is no sheltered walkway and the carpark is in an open area.

There is no stage available, and certain parts of the venue have obstructed views.

Chui Huay Lim offers 8 courses at $179.90++ per person for both lunch and dinner—the same price for both times makes planning easier. This is a family-friendly, traditional venue that includes 4 hours of soft drinks with tea. They throw in free parking coupons for 20% of your confirmed guests. There is free food tasting unless there is a minimum of 150 pax. There's no hotel stay but they offer an interesting perk: a lifetime JUMBO membership for either the groom or bride. This venue is ideal for couples who want an authentic, warm atmosphere and value the traditional touches.

✖️ Hotel entrance is directly attached to a shopping mall — no grand façade

If you want a more upscale experience, VOCO Orchard Singapore prices are impressive. Lunch is $168.80++ per person and dinner is $188.80++, which is competitive pricing for what you get. The real appeal here is the hotel stay—you get an executive suite for the couple. They include free-flow soft drinks for 4 hours, a complimentary barrel of beer, and a bottle of house wine per 10 guaranteed guests. They also throw in a champagne fountain for toasting and a 7-course Chinese menu. You get 15% complimentary carpark passes and VIP parking for your bridal car right in front. The capacity ranges from 100 to 420 guests, giving you flexibility. This venue is perfect if you want your guests to feel pampered and you want an upscale hotel setting.

If you’re looking for a grand entrance and a luxurious hotel atmosphere, Voco Orchard Hotel may not be the ideal fit, as its lobby is directly connected to a shopping mall, giving it a more casual vibe.

There may also be multiple weddings taking place simultaneously, with couples sharing the same reception area, which can make the experience feel less private. In the event of rain, the venue does not have a clear wet-weather alternative, and the lobby area offers limited space for photoshoots.

So, Which Venue is Right for You?

Ultimately, your choice depends on your priorities. But if you're looking for the best combination of great food, included perks, transparent pricing, and genuine value, couples in 2024 and 2025 keep coming back to Grand Shanghai.
