Our ROM Solemnization at Labrador Park
Yeah rite we have decided to settle down finally. We did not planed to ROM in Singapore until late September when we planed to move to Parc Oasis in Jurong. While we explored the date to ROM,suddenly realized 1st Nov is our 3rd years together. From then we start our plan for the ROM in Singapore, we later noticed ROM registry office did not opened on the date we wanted, we have the option to invite the solemnizer for solemnization outside ROM.
While searching for the ROM venue, we expert the place to have nice scenery, quiet, greenery and close to nature. Somehow Labrador park pop-up in my mind. All I can recalled from memory was the BBQ session with my colleagues in Sharp 10 years ago. The park is by the sea and opposite Sentosa Island. After I surf the National Parks website, and book the place immediately. At the end it turn out to be our perfect place for our ROM.
After decided the time and venue, we started to book for the solemnizer, filling our ROM, Wedding Bands, ROM dress and caterer. Initially we only intended to invite family and close friends for the ceremony, later we changed our mind 1 week before to invite friends and colleagues in Singapore as we know many of them may not able to come to our customary wedding dinner in Malaysia. The caterer was a big headache for us, inflexible to satisfy our requirement, slow in respond and the worst is denied the offer agreed previously. We decided to move on and deal with them later. ![]()
The big question mark for us was the whole ceremony process and decoration, we want to make it simply and unique. Balloons only appear in our mind 3 days before ROM. We have a brief meeting with Kok Pin and decided the whole decoration in 2 hours time. At the same time Venice’s friend Boon Soon gave us idea of making the balloons floats by inflating with helium gas.
The bicycle ride was NiangZi’s idea when we first visit the park. In the end we managed to get the bicycle and helium gas tank on the day before ROM. This sound like amazing race for me. It turn out of me amazing ROM.
The bicycle’s number plate was last minute work from BS. We enjoyed the whole ride completely from the bicycle’s decoration, balloons, cans, poppers to the music.

Cindy,
Booking of Labrador Park can be done via National Park website nparks.gov.sg. There is not charge for the venue.
You need to compensate your Solemnizer to cover minimum the taxi expense.
ROM procedure can be found at rom.gov.sg

Ivory,
When will be your wedding? Cangratulation to u!!
We do not recommend the food caterer. ISS Catering service is bad. Sales person was not responsive to our call and inflexible in changing the food items.
I agree with you tentage was 1 of our biggest consideration on the outdoor wedding. I do recommend you get tentage in case it rain. If it doesn’t rain, tentage still can cover the hot sun if your wedding is in the day time.
We do recommend the tentage provider we used Public Chair and Tables Co. Their service is real good. After the initial setup and left, I managed to call them back to shift it to better spot without additional charge.
We have two 20′x20′ tentages to cover the buffet line the 5 tables. 2 tentage alone cost us $320. Table and Chair were ordered thru the caterer.

Dorothy,
Thanks for stopping by. The Arch come with the wedding package of the caterer. The balloons was the creation of my friend cum photographer. We rent a helium gas tank to fill the balloons and tied with fishing strings.
