Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for a Permit

To use the Bandstand at Singapore Botanic Gardens for your wedding, you must obtain approval from the National Parks Board (NParks). Here’s how:

Step 1: Check Availability

Before you submit your application, visit the NParks website (https://www.nparks.gov.sg/sbg/visit-us/apply-for-a-permit). You can also contact the Singapore Botanic Gardens Visitor Services. This will help you check if the Bandstand is available on your chosen wedding date.

Step 2: Submit the Application Form

You will need to fill out the Application for a Permit to Hold an Event at Singapore Botanic Gardens. This form can be downloaded from the NParks website (https://form.gov.sg/66c58f9b92e9caa0131fc9b2).

Key details to include in your application:

• Full name and contact details of the applicant
• Date and time of the event
• Number of guests attending (maximum capacity may apply)
• Type of event (ROM solemnisation ceremony)

Step 3: Await Approval from NParks

Once you’ve submitted your application, NParks will review your request. Approval may take a few weeks, so it’s advisable to apply at least 2-3 months in advance.

Step 4: Adhere to Venue Guidelines

After receiving approval, you must follow NParks’ guidelines, which may include:

• No open flames – Avoid using candles or fire-related décor.
• Minimal decorations – You may not be allowed to install large structures or heavy setups.
• Clean-up responsibility – Ensure the venue is left in its original condition after the ceremony.
• No loud music – Sound levels should be kept minimal to respect other park visitors.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Experience

• Hire a Wedding StylistProfessional event stylists, such as Wingding Event Styling, can help you. They create beautiful and simple setups. Their designs follow NParks’ rules.
• Have a Wet-Weather Plan – The Bandstand is outside. Think about renting umbrellas or finding an indoor backup place.
• Schedule Your Solemniser Early – Ensure your ROM solemniser is available on your chosen date and time.
• Inform Your Guests – Provide clear directions to the Bandstand, as Singapore Botanic Gardens is a vast area.
• Bandstand is a popular place for ROM, just to beware that another couple may right before your booked time slot. To facilitate Wingding Event Styling to decorate the venue, you should leave at least 30 mins for decoration time, another 30 mins for your guests and solemniser arrival. Therefore, your ROM commencement time should be in the middle of your booked time slot, and leaving the last 30 mins for photo taking.
• NPark does not allow chairs in the venue.
