Raffles City Convention Centre ✓ ACRA Verified

Raffles City Convention Centre prices events as packages rather than simple hourly rates, which is standard for a city-centre convention facility. Function room packages at venues of this scale in Singapore typically start from S$1,500–8,000+ for smaller configurations and rise to S$8,000–30,000+ for full-day ballroom or multi-room use. The quoted package usually covers the rented space, basic A/V (PA, projector, screen), aircon hours, and on-site staff. Common add-ons include extended-hours surcharges, external-caterer corkage (typically S$3–8 per pax), in-house F&B minimum spend arrangements, liquor corkage for BYO, photography or videography permits, and setup and teardown windows outside the rented period. Contact the venue directly for a formal quotation tailored to your event format, guest count, and date. See the full Venue Rental cost guide for Singapore →

Raffles City Convention Centre offers multiple rooms and configurations across Level 4, so capacity varies significantly by the space selected. As a rule, standing cocktail capacity runs roughly 1.5 to 2 times the banquet seated figure for the same room, with theatre seating sitting between the two. Request the full floor-plan and per-room capacity sheet when enquiring, and confirm that the layout allows for your stage, dance floor, or exhibition requirements if applicable. For F&B, convention-centre venues of this type typically operate on an in-house catering arrangement or an approved-caterer model rather than open BYO. Confirm whether there is a minimum F&B spend per pax, what the approved menu options cover (including halal, vegetarian, and dietary-restriction requirements), whether a tasting is available before booking, and the liquor policy. If you are planning a wedding solemnisation, confirm whether the space is a registered ROM venue or whether you will need to arrange a Justice of the Peace separately.

A deposit — typically 30–50% of the total package value — is required to secure the date, with the balance due one to two weeks before the event. Popular Saturday evenings in peak wedding and corporate season (March–April and October–November) book out well in advance at city-centre venues, so enquire at least six to twelve months ahead for those dates. Before paying the deposit, do a site recce to confirm room dimensions, ceiling height, A/V capability, and accessibility (lift, ramp, accessible toilets). Clarify the noise curfew, parking arrangements, and setup and teardown access windows, as these are often outside the rented period and can affect your vendor logistics. Put the rescheduling and force-majeure policy in writing — reputable venues typically allow postponement within six to twelve months without forfeiting the deposit where a restriction or unforeseen circumstance forces a change of date.
