You can find other exciting options for hire among the skyscrapers, retail stores and prestigious buildings of the City Centre and its surrounding districts. Affordable deals can be found in the area's many small meeting rooms, cafes, or larger suites and diners. The location is very well-connected, and major streets, such as Orchard Road, River Valley Road, and Hill Street, offer plenty of metro and bus connections. These great value venues are ideal for smaller businesses on a budget. Prices start range from S$35 to S$80 per hour.

How to pick the perfect budget-friendly function room

Below, we've listed some key elements you should consider to find a venue that meets your expectations or even exceeds them. 
Set a budget - Decide how much you can pay for the venue rental. It will help you narrow down your choice of event spaces to those you can afford. You'll avoid overspending and pick a space that offers the most at your price range. 

Make a guest list - An estimated number of guests will help you figure out whether you need a spacious function room or a more intimate setting. You'll know what you need to look for and see just the venues that will fit your crowd!  

Decide on your event style - What event are you planning to host? A workshop, a corporate meeting or a birthday party? Are you planning to serve a sit-down dinner or finger foods and cocktails? Perhaps a buffet would be ideal? Do you have a particular party theme in mind? When you decide on the event style, you'll get a clear idea of what type of venues you should look for - restaurants, bars, conference centres, etc. You'll also decide whether the decor will match your expectations.   

Pick a convenient location - Nobody likes spending too much time commuting. Try to pick a convenient location that everyone can reach via public transport or car. Ideally, it should also have parking lots nearby for those who'd like to use a car. Otherwise, you may expect lower attendance, and we bet it's something you'd like to avoid! You can also pick a location based on the entertainment options nearby. For example, you can choose a space near clubs or live music venues if you're hosting a meeting that requires an after party.  

Check different dates - If you really want to save some coins, be flexible with the date! Check the rental prices on different dates and pick one that will help you cut costs. Prices tend to get higher from Friday to Sunday, so to avoid additional fees, consider checking weekdays. 

Now you know how to pick the perfect and affordable venue! It's easy, isn't it? So, how about checking out the venues we have to offer? Explore our platform and start browsing now.
