The Jewel Box @ Mount Faber

"With the stunning combination of nature and design and venues that feature magnificent views of the city and harbour vista, The Jewel Box makes an exclusive and impressive alternative to conventional wedding venues."

20 May 2012

The Jewel Box held a wedding fair. There are four places available : Diamond Place Ballroom, Black Opal, Empress Jade, Sapphire.

Pat says:
  1. Diamond Place Ballroom:
    • Bad points: Central four pillars blocking stage views from the back and the sides, decorations are abit plain
    • Good points: Able to cater 250 people, window view of the Singapore cable car ride
  2. Black Opal:
    • Bad points: small, able to cater approx. 80 pax
    • Good points: bar, cozy and awesome decorations and view of Sentosa, cable car ride and plantations
  3. Empress Jade:
    • Bad points: small, able to cater appox. 60 pax. able to see buildings and constructions sites
    • Good points: oriental style, good for traditional weddings and view of Sentosa and plantations
  4. Sapphire:
    • Bad points: quite big but limited space area for round tables, the design of Sapphire has many structures that limits space. (open-air hence heavy rain might pour into the space)
    • Good points: bar in the centre, open-air concept, very relaxed feel, good for chilling
Overall: I would prefer Black Opal for intimate wedding affairs. But since our targeted guest list is around 250-300 pax, consider Empress Jade (for relative) and Sapphire (for friends). Two different themes to cater for two different groups. Sad to say, it might again still be too small. Transportation wise might be a problem as we might need to cater for buses or cable car rides for those without cars.

Emcee!
P.S: Love the emcee for the event. She made it very entertaining.

The ambience of Saphhire is somewhat we are looking for but sitting space is limited. There is a possibility to combine Saphhire with Empress Jade but we would need to move up and down during the dinner which is not practical. Also, in the event of during wet weather, rain would pour into Saphhire making it a less ideal venue. The emcee for the event is indeed very good and if it's within the means of our financial capabilities, there might be a possibility to engage her. Overall Jewel Box would be ideal if our invitation list is less than 80.
