PEN & INC Singapore ✓ ACRA Verified

PEN & INC Singapore prices on a package basis, with exact rates dependent on event format, duration, and requirements — contact them directly for a current quote. As a general Singapore market reference, function-room rentals run S$100–500 per hour with a 2–4 hour minimum, while half-day or full-day event packages typically start from S$1,500 for smaller venues and rise to S$8,000–30,000+ for larger ballroom-style spaces. When reviewing any quote, confirm what is included: aircon hours, basic A/V (PA, projector, screen), on-site staff, cleaning fee, and setup and teardown access. Ask separately about add-ons such as external-caterer corkage, BYO liquor corkage, extended-hours surcharges, and any photography or videography permit requirements.

Capacity varies by event format — standing cocktail arrangements typically accommodate 1.5–2× the number of banquet-seated guests from the same floor area, with theatre seating falling between the two. Confirm the exact figures for your preferred layout with PEN & INC Singapore directly, as campus venues can have fixed furniture or structural constraints that affect flexibility. For F&B, clarify whether the venue operates in-house catering only, permits external caterers (with or without a corkage fee per pax, and whether an approved-caterer list applies), or allows BYO. Liquor service — house wine list versus BYO with corkage — should also be confirmed. For wedding solemnisations, check whether the venue is a registered ROM solemnisation venue or whether you need to arrange a Justice of the Peace separately.

The standard Singapore practice is a deposit of 30–50% on signing to secure the date, with the balance due 1–2 weeks before the event. Popular Saturday evening slots at well-regarded venues book out 6–12 months ahead, particularly during wedding season in March–April and October–November, so early enquiry is advisable. Before paying the deposit, confirm the noise curfew (typical 10–11pm in venues near residential or campus areas), parking arrangements on the NTU campus, accessibility (lift, ramp, accessible toilets), and the rescheduling or force-majeure policy — reputable venues generally allow postponement within 6–12 months without forfeiting the deposit when circumstances are outside the hirer's control. A site recce before committing is strongly recommended. Do a site recce, confirm capacity for your specific event format (cocktail / banquet / theatre), and put the F&B policy, A/V inclusions, noise curfew, setup/teardown access, and rescheduling terms in writing before paying the deposit.
