Har Paw Villa & 9 other Singapore venues you can actually hold your wedding at

With statues and dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, folklore, legends and history(and especially its vivid depiction of the 10 Courts of Hell), the theme park is the least likely place we’d actually think of getting hitched at but yes, it’s actually open for weddings! You can have a reception at its wedding hall, and a cocktail reception or solemnisation at the courtyard. Closed for renovation since October 2018, the park is slated to be open on 1 March 2019.
