With social distancing rules in full swing, many events catering to large crowds have had to be suspended or cancelled completely.
Meetings, gatherings, and even joyous affairs like weddings are on hold for safety purposes. For many couples, the excitement for their big day is no more.
Thankfully, wedding venue The Ballroom Singapore is aware of their plights and want to offer relief in the form of a free solemnisation space.
That way, their union can still go on — with strict safety measures of course.
Putting a wedding together can be such a headache with all the planning and high costs.
To have months of hard work fall apart because of an unanticipated situation must surely be heartbreaking.
For those who still wish to forge ahead and at least be legally bound in holy matrimony, there is an alternative to the Registry of Marriages (ROM).
The Ballroom Singapore is offering a free solemnisation venue to couples whose dreams have been dashed by Covid-19.
They threw in complimentary light refreshments too, so that’s even less money to fork out.
Of course, there’s a catch, especially with health concerns amidst the Covid-19 outbreak.
No more than 10 people can be present at the ceremony, meaning only the closest family members and the officiator should be there.
Those with larger families might want to skip this, but the offer would be perfect for smaller ones.
Some couples have already taken up the offer, judging by this video testimony on The Ballroom Singapore’s Facebook page:
They assure that the organisers adhere to all necessary measures to ensure the ceremony ran smoothly, while guaranteeing guests’ safety.
Couples who wish to follow suit can simply drop The Ballroom Singapore a message via Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp at 9091 2072.
The offer is only valid throughout the month of April, so hurry and make your booking soon. In case you’re wondering where the location is, here are more details:
Address: The Ballroom Singapore, 86 East Coast Road, Singapore 428788
Nearest MRT station: Dakota
We’d like to congratulate the happy couples on their marriage, and wish them the best to get through these tough times together.
Kudos also to The Ballroom Singapore for helping to make people’s dreams come true despite the challenging situation.
