The venue

CHIJMES Lawns.

30 Victoria Street, in the Civic District. CHIJMES was the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus; its chapel, now CHIJMES Hall, and Caldwell House are National Monuments, and the lawns and terraces between them are hired out for events. We plan on the lawns and the Terracotta only; CHIJMES Hall is run by a separate operator.

Good to know

  • Set-up and teardown follow CHIJMES' works hours: on weekdays, none 12–2pm or 6–11pm; on Saturdays and Sundays, only 4am–10am. For a Saturday or Sunday event we set up by 10am and clear from 4am the next morning. We check with CHIJMES whether your date needs a second day's hire, and any charge goes on your written quote
  • The live price uses the Friday–Sunday and public-holiday rate. Monday to Thursday costs less, and we quote it for your date
  • We put up tents on the Main Lawn for weddings, solemnisations and company events, and arrange the SCDF, URA and NHB approvals CHIJMES asks for, so tell us early. No tents are allowed on the Mini Lawn
  • The lawns are bare. Tables, chairs and any tent are hired in and added to your written quote; they are not in the live price
  • Any canvas must be white, grey or black, in one solid colour, and the backs of backdrops must be covered. Our décor team works to CHIJMES' house rules
  • The lawns sit in the open heart of CHIJMES, with restaurants and bars around them, so passers-by can see in
  • There is no sound or lighting on the lawns. Power points are at the Main Lawn and the Terracotta; on the Mini Lawn, sound or lights may need a generator, which goes on your written quote
  • Your first payment secures the date: the lawn hire in full plus a share of our services. CHIJMES needs every payment cleared before the event
Tea ceremony

The tea ceremony, without the fuss.

We bring the tea set, brew the tea and set the table, so the two families can simply enjoy the moment. Can be booked alone or with any buffet. Suits the home morning ceremony or a corner of the venue.

Plain answers

Questions couples ask.

Can we hold our wedding or ROM on the lawns?

Yes. We hold ROMs, garden receptions, engagements and company events on the CHIJMES lawns, catered by our own kitchen. The Mini Lawn suits a solemnisation for about 50 seated guests; the Main Lawn takes about 150 seated, with a tent if you want one. We book your date with CHIJMES, set out the space for your solemniser, then serve the meal.

Can we have a tea ceremony here?

Yes. Add it in the price builder: Essentials at $288 or Styled at $588 per couple. Essentials brings a porcelain tea set, red date and longan tea for up to 30 family members, 2 kneeling cushions, and delivery, set-up and collection. Styled adds a dressed tea table with dried flowers, 2 chairs for your elders, sweet dumpling soup and a helper for the hour. The Terracotta or the Mini Lawn suits a tea ceremony for close family.

Can you put up a tent in case of rain?

Yes, on the Main Lawn, for a wedding, a solemnisation or a company event. We put it up and arrange the SCDF, URA and NHB approvals CHIJMES asks for, so tell us early. Tent hire is not in the live price; it goes on your written quote. No tents are allowed on the Mini Lawn and the Terracotta is an open terrace, so if the weather worries you, the Main Lawn is the safer choice.

When can you set up?

Monday to Friday, any time outside 12–2pm and 6–11pm. On Saturdays and Sundays CHIJMES allows works only between 4am and 10am, so for a weekend event we set up by 10am and clear from 4am the next morning. We check with CHIJMES whether that needs a second day's hire and put any charge on your written quote.

Is the food halal?

Yes. Every menu comes from our own halal-certified kitchen, which caters on the CHIJMES lawns. Tell us about vegetarian guests or allergies when you book.

Can we use CHIJMES Hall instead?

No. CHIJMES Hall is run by a separate operator with its own wedding packages, so we plan on the lawns and the Terracotta only.

Is the price final?

It is built from CHIJMES' 2026 per-day rate for Friday to Sunday and public holidays, plus our own menu, styling and planning prices, all nett. Monday to Thursday costs less. Tables, chairs and any tent go on your written quote, and dates from 2027 are confirmed at CHIJMES' rate when you book.

How many guests do we need?

The buffets start at 30 guests, and the solemnisation light bites at 20. Below that, talk to a planner and we will suggest a set-up that fits.

Is there GST or a service charge?

Not from us. Alangkaar is not GST-registered and adds no service charge, so our food, décor and planning are nett. Venue hire is at the venue's own rate, with no mark-up from us.

Who are The Ivory Co. × Alangkaar?

A collaboration of Alangkaar Pte Ltd, styled for Western and Chinese weddings. The same planners, kitchen and décor team, in cream and boho.
