Singapore Weddings & Events ROM Solemnisation Venues

The 8 Best ROM Solemnisation Venues in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best ROM solemnisation venues in Singapore in 2026 are the Registry of Marriages itself at Esplanade Mall for a simple, low-cost ceremony, The Garage in the Botanic Gardens and The Summerhouse for garden settings, Monti at Fullerton Pavilion for bay views, and The Alkaff Mansion for a grand heritage house.

In Singapore, "ROM" is shorthand for the legal solemnisation, whether it happens at the Registry of Marriages or at a venue of your choice. Every civil marriage is applied for on the government's Our Marriage Journey portal (marriage.gov.sg). If you marry at the Registry, a solemniser is provided; anywhere else, you book your own licensed solemniser. The Registry and the Registry of Muslim Marriages are at an interim site in Esplanade Mall while their Canning Rise home is redeveloped, with a return planned for 2029. For banquet venues, see our wedding venues guide.

1. Registry of Marriages (Esplanade Mall) — Esplanade, Marina Bay

The simplest and cheapest way to marry, with a solemniser provided.

$ Budget

The Registry of Marriages runs civil ceremonies at its interim home on Level 3 of Esplanade Mall, a short walk from City Hall MRT. You book a slot when you apply on the Our Marriage Journey portal, a Registry solemniser is assigned, and the room is ready for a short, simple ceremony. The government says the site has hosted thousands of ceremonies since opening in April 2025 and has opened for Saturday bookings.

It suits couples who want the legal ceremony done well with close family, then a lunch elsewhere. The Ficus Room at Gardens by the Bay can also be booked through the Registry if you want a greener setting.

Good to know: Rooms hold about 20 people including the couple and cannot be decorated, so plan photos outside afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the ROM in Singapore now?

The Registry of Marriages and the Registry of Muslim Marriages moved to an interim site on Level 3 of Esplanade Mall in April 2025, while the Canning Rise building is redeveloped. The government has said they will return to Canning Rise in 2029.

How much does it cost to solemnise at the ROM?

A ceremony at the Registry needs only the marriage application fee paid on the Our Marriage Journey portal, and the fee is the same whether you marry at the Registry or elsewhere. Outside venues charge their own hire or food-and-drink minimum, and you pay your own licensed solemniser.

How many guests can attend a solemnisation at the ROM?

The Registry's solemnisation rooms are set up for a simple ceremony and hold about 20 people including the couple, and you cannot decorate them. For more guests, hold the solemnisation at an outside venue with your own solemniser.

How far ahead can I book a ROM slot?

Civil marriage timeslots can be booked up to six months ahead on the Our Marriage Journey portal (marriage.gov.sg). Popular dates and Saturdays go quickly, so book as soon as your window opens.

Can we hold our ROM at a restaurant?

Yes. Many couples solemnise at a restaurant or garden venue with a licensed solemniser and then have lunch or dinner on the spot. The Garage, The Summerhouse, Monti and The Alkaff Mansion all host solemnisations followed by a meal.

What is the Ficus Room at Gardens by the Bay?

It is an additional space that couples can book through the Registry for their ceremony, giving a garden setting while still using a Registry solemniser. Check availability when you apply on the portal.
