The Villa at Singapore Botanic Gardens - The Villa at Singapore Botanic Gardens

Excellent banquet service and e emcee for the day for my cousin's wedding is so proficient. Best venue for a garden wedding setting. The wedding experience is unforgettable.

Nice place for private events!

Fantastic..good view and facilities.

For the general public visiting the gardens there is a fantastic buffet of traditional Singapore style food that you can tuck into while enjoying the ambience and complementing music. The staff are very friendly and were recommending dishes to us. Then we had a downpour. The staff encouraged us to stay and came by to talk and offered new dishes to try. We waited an hour enjoying the venue until we couldn’t wait out the rain any longer. The staff gave us rain covers for our clothes as we left. It was a fantastic experience and really was a highlight of visiting the gardens for myself and my partner.

Attended two weddings at this venue. Beautiful event space nestled within the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Decor was tasteful and table setting was immaculate. Sampled different menus at both events — 1 with asian cuisine and the other western. Food was on point and everything was tasty. Asian portions were a little on the large side but that’s hardly a complaint. Servers and other staff were also very attentive. (I have allergies so they made sure I wasn’t served something I couldn’t consume) A five minute walk from the drop off point, staff offered guests ponchos when it was raining.

Staffs were friendly and accommodating. Food was great!

3.5⭐️ Had our wedding at the Villa in July, we booked the courtyard + batik room for about 90 guests :) The place was beautifully decorated, with fresh flowers on every table. If you hit certain guest count, there’s also placement card for every guest. We loved the cozy atmosphere. The restaurant staffs are great as well, helping us to bring over cocktail table (with decor!) for our solemnisation at BandStand, constantly asking if we’re good, serving dessert earlier for us as they know that couples tend to be too busy for dessert time. Quite a number of guests couldn’t make it last min due to covid, the staffs also packed their food nicely for us to takeaway after. Our guests also complimented on the starters (soup + bread) and the prawn salad appetiser, which we agree tasted amazing. Portions of food are also huge, pretty sure no one left feeling hungry. There are still things that can be improved, hence our 3.5 stars 1. There’s no complimentary food tasting: • Food voucher was given to try out their food quality at TheHalia (restaurannt opposite of Villa) but not all dishes are available at Halia. 2. Main dish: • The kitchen didn’t have enough stock one week before the wedding day (due to the Malaysia ban? Not so sure) and had to change the chicken parts last minute. • Steak, which we topped up extra money for it, was totally different from our “food-tasting” experience at Halia. Many guests complained to us about having a hard time cutting and biting through it ? Almost everyone didn’t finish the steak. Very disappointing. 3. AV system — speaker quality: • On our wedding day, there was a few cracking incident when we try to turn up the volume. Hence we had to play our videos and BGM that we specially prepared, very softly ? 4. AV system — speaker system between conjunct rooms are not connected: • As mentioned, we booked Batik room & Courtyard, which are right next to each other, separated by glass panels that can be slide open). However, their mic-speaker systems cannot be connected, and our emcee had to hold and speak into 2 microphones at once. That’s ridiculous, especially since Courtyard and Batik room is sold as a package and MUST be booked together. If they make this mandatory, we think the least they could do is to have a well-connected AV system between rooms. 5. AV system — singing is not allowed for their mic and speaker: • Hence we rented our own speaker and mic for that. Thankfully though, as our emcee ended up using it due to frustration over the previous mentioned points. We still had a memorable wedding day at TheVilla, though we can’t help feeling a little sad that it could have been even better for us and our guests. We certainly hope TheVilla can make it an even better experience for future couples :)

Vy nice and kind wait staff. Lovely place and setting
