About Chijmes Singapore
Chijmes Singapore is a heritage event venue located at 30 Victoria St, Singapore 187996, offering venue rental for a range of occasions including weddings, corporate dinners, private celebrations, and social events. KakiList has verified operating details and contact channels. The Google rating of 4.5 across 12,897 reviews represents a robust sample and is a strong indicator of consistent visitor and event experience. Pricing is positioned in the moderate-to-premium band, in line with the venue's heritage conservation status and city-centre location.
Enquiring about Chijmes typically begins with confirming the event date and format — standing cocktail, banquet round-table, or theatre seating — as the usable capacity varies considerably by layout across the different function spaces within the complex. The venue's heritage architecture spans multiple indoor halls, courtyards, and outdoor terraces, each with different capacities and setup constraints. Prospective clients should clarify whether in-house F&B is offered for the chosen space or whether an external caterer is permitted, and if so, whether a corkage or external-caterer fee applies. A/V provision, aircon hours, soundproofing, and the noise curfew (particularly relevant for outdoor terrace events in proximity to adjacent civic buildings) should all be confirmed in writing. Setup and teardown access windows often fall outside the rented event hours and need to be locked in early. Accessibility — lifts, ramps, and accessible toilets — should be verified for guests with mobility needs. For wedding solemnisations, confirm whether Chijmes holds registered ROM solemnisation venue status or whether a separate JP arrangement is required. SCDF fire-safety certification applies and is standard for a venue of this type.
To proceed, contact Chijmes directly via phone or the enquiry form on their listing to check date availability, request a site recce, and obtain a written package breakdown covering the hall rate, F&B policy, A/V inclusions, and setup access before paying any deposit.

CHIJMES is a beautifully preserved historic complex that has been transformed into a vibrant lifestyle and dining destination. The old colonial buildings are now home to restaurants, cafés, shops, and spas, making it a great place to walk around, eat, relax, and explore. The architecture has been carefully conserved, giving the area a unique historic charm with many photogenic corners throughout the complex. It’s a lovely spot to take photos, enjoy a casual meal, or simply stroll around and soak in the atmosphere.

The architecture, especially the white chapel, is absolutely beautiful and perfect for photos. It’s packed with excellent restaurants and bars, making it an ideal place for a relaxing dinner or drinks. Even in the city center, it feels like a hidden, elegant courtyard. Highly recommended for the atmosphere alone!

Awesome place! The architecture is elegant and stunning... Definitely Instagrammable. A beautiful historical landmark in the middle of the city, just a few minutes away from Bugis. A few restaurants are nearby if you feel hungry after your photoshoot.

Had a surprisingly good flat white here at Coffeesmith. The Chijmes is a Singapore institution. Its beautifully restored heritage buildings house a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. It’s Instagram heaven and was featured in the movie Crazy Rich Asians. As a consequence it’s very busy with tourists and Insta girlies. Still definitely worth a visit, the buildings are beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Chijmes Singapore charge?›
Chijmes Singapore is priced in the moderate-to-premium band for a heritage venue in the civic district. Function room and hall packages typically run from S$1,500–8,000+ for smaller or half-day bookings, with full-day or ballroom-scale events at larger heritage venues in this bracket running S$8,000–30,000+. The final figure depends on the specific space selected, the event format, and whether in-house F&B minimum spend replaces or supplements the hall fee. Itemise the following before committing: aircon hours and whether extended hours carry a surcharge (typical 1.5×–2× outside the standard curfew window), setup and teardown access (often not counted within the rented window), basic A/V provision (PA, projector, screen, microphones), cleaning fee, and any external-caterer corkage per pax if you are not using in-house F&B. A photography or videography permit may apply for commercial shoots. Contact Chijmes directly for a current package schedule, as heritage venue pricing varies by space and season.

What capacity and F&B policy does Chijmes Singapore have?›
Chijmes comprises multiple distinct spaces — indoor halls, a courtyard, a chapel hall, and outdoor terraces — each with different capacities. As a general guide, standing cocktail capacity runs approximately 1.5–2× the banquet seated figure for the same space. Confirm the specific capacity for your intended event format (cocktail, banquet round-table, or theatre seating) when you enquire, as layout flexibility differs across spaces. For F&B, clarify whether the chosen space requires in-house catering with a minimum spend per pax, or whether an external caterer is permitted with a corkage fee. Chijmes houses several resident restaurants that may be involved in in-house F&B arrangements. Liquor — confirm the house wine and bar service arrangement and whether BYO carries a corkage charge. For wedding solemnisations, verify whether the specific space is a registered ROM solemnisation venue or whether you need to engage a JP independently.
What's the booking and cancellation policy at Chijmes Singapore?›
A deposit — typically 30–50% of the total package — is required to secure the event date, with the balance due approximately one to two weeks before the event. Popular Saturday evenings at Chijmes, particularly during wedding season (March–April and October–November), book out well in advance — six to twelve months ahead is not unusual for the most sought-after spaces. Confirm the noise curfew in writing, as outdoor terrace events in the civic district area are subject to time restrictions. Parking availability should be checked — the immediate surrounds offer paid public carparks, including the CHIJMES carpark and nearby Raffles City. Ask about the rescheduling and cancellation policy if a force-majeure event requires postponement; reputable venues typically allow rescheduling within six to twelve months without full forfeiture of the deposit. A site recce during business hours before paying the deposit is strongly recommended. See the full Venue Rental cost guide for Singapore →
