Venues, fees and deposits

Mosques handle the akad nikah and often publish their rates; receptions usually move to a void deck, a community hall or a dedicated halal ballroom.

Masjid Sultan

Solemnisation booking

$255 (non-refundable), plus $200 cleaning and a refundable $300–450 damage deposit

Capacity: Up to 100 guests, both families combined

sultanmosque.sg

Masjid Al-Islah

Solemnisation, or solemnisation with a reception in the basement carpark

Package A $500 for a 2-hour solemnisation; reception package quoted separately

Capacity: Up to about 500 for the basement reception

The mosque sets up the non-iktikaf solemnisation area; your own vendor handles decoration.

Tables and chairs come from your caterer; dining setup happens the evening before.

Cancellation terms are tiered: more than 6 months out is a full refund less part of the deposit.

$100 per subsequent hour

Capacity: Up to 100

Solemnisation only — communal dining isn't allowed.

HDB void deck

Reception, booked through your Town Council (not HDB centrally)

Roughly $20–50 a day, plus utilities and a refundable deposit up to about $500 (estimate)

Capacity: Large; limited by the block's footprint

The permit is cheap; tentage is the real cost, commonly $3,000–8,000 (market estimate).

Book 3–6 months ahead; procedures differ by estate.

Walk the site with your tentage supplier before committing — columns and narrow void decks catch people out.
