As a wedding planner and coordinator in Singapore, we’re always looking for new ways to elevate our couples’ wedding experiences. Recently, we were invited to a wine tasting session—and it completely changed the way we think about alcohol at weddings.
It was more than just sipping wines—it was an immersive journey through flavour, aroma, and story. Not everyone might be familiar with the world of wine, but we truly believe that once couples are introduced to it, it becomes an exciting and meaningful part of their celebration.
Why Wine Matters at Weddings: Beyond House Pours: How Wine Tasting Can Elevate Your Wedding in Singapore
Let’s be honest: most wedding venues in Singapore include 1 or 2 bottles of house pour wine per table. These wines do the job, but rarely stand out. For wine lovers—or even casual drinkers—this feels like a missed opportunity. Wine has the power to start conversations, reflect your personalities, and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
We’re often asked: “Can we bring our own wines to our wedding?” The answer is—yes, with the right negotiation. Some venues offer options like:
Cashback or a refund if you opt out of their house pours
Free corkage for wines and spirits brought in externally
Customised packages with better selections through a preferred wine supplier
This is where your wedding planner steps in—to help you navigate and negotiate with your venue coordinator.
Telling Your Story Through Wine: Wedding Wines That Tell Your Love Story — Curated Tastings in Singapore
The wine you serve can be personal. Maybe you and your partner met in Western Australia and love Margaret River reds. Or you spent a holiday in Tuscany and fell in love with a Chianti. These are stories we can weave into your celebration.
Through our partnership with wine importers and wholesale suppliers in Singapore, we can help you bring in these wines—turning a simple drink into something deeply meaningful.
Introducing Wine Tasting Experiences for Our Couples
We’re now offering curated wine tasting sessions for couples who want to build a bespoke wine and spirit menu for their wedding. This experience includes:
A consultation to understand your preferences, wedding menu, and love story
A curated shortlist of wines matched to your wedding cuisine and theme
A private wine tasting session with our sommelier and supplier partners
Final selection and procurement of wines and hard liquors for your wedding at wholesale & vendor pricing
This is ideal for couples who want to offer something thoughtful and elevated for their guests—beyond the usual wine list.
Worry Less with Alcohol Consignment Services
One common concern we hear from couples is: “What if we don’t order enough alcohol?” Weddings can be unpredictable, and the last thing you want is to run out of wine or spirits midway through your celebration.
This is where alcohol consignment services come in. We work with trusted wine wholesale suppliers in Singapore who offer free consignment services for weddings. What does this mean for you?
You get to order more than you think you need, giving you peace of mind.
Only pay for the bottles that are opened and consumed during your wedding.
Any unopened bottles will be taken back at no charge.
This ensures you’re never caught short, and also means you won’t be left with dozens of unopened bottles (unless you want to keep them!).
It’s a smart, cost-effective way to manage your wedding bar—and a service we’re proud to offer as part of our curated wine and alcohol packages.
A New Chapter in Wedding Planning
We’re excited to offer this value-added service and help couples explore wine in a more meaningful way. Whether you're a budding wine enthusiast or just want something a little more special than the standard house pours, we’re here to guide you.
