The cost to rent a tentage for a wedding in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 1,800 to SGD 9,000, depending on guest count, tent type, and whether you need aircon. A 100-pax outdoor solemnisation usually sits at the lower end, while a 300-pax void deck or open field banquet with full aircon tentage pushes toward the top.
We have set up hundreds of wedding tents across void decks, condo function lawns, and open fields, and the same three questions come up every time: how big, how cool, and how long. Answer those first and the number becomes predictable.
Wedding Tentage Cost by Guest Count
Pax count drives tent size, which drives almost everything else in the quote. Here is what couples are actually paying in 2026.
| Guest Count (Pax) | Typical Tent Size | Estimated Cost (SGD) |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 pax | 6m x 12m | $1,800 – $3,000 |
| 150–200 pax | 12m x 18m | $3,500 – $5,500 |
| 250–300 pax | 12m x 24m | $5,000 – $9,000 |
| 250–300 pax with aircon tentage | 12m x 24m enclosed | $8,000 – $15,000 |
These ranges include the tent structure, standard frame lighting, and setup crew. Tables, chairs, staging, and decor are typically separate — see the full cost breakdown in our tentage rental price breakdown guide (lianhupseng.com.sg/tentage-rental-price-breakdown/) for exactly what gets billed on top.
What Affects Your Wedding Tentage Cost?
Beyond guest count, four things move your quote up or down.
Venue type. A HDB void deck booking through your town council is usually the most cost-effective option since access is straightforward and the site is already flat and paved. An open field or private estate lawn often needs ground protection flooring, which adds SGD 300 to SGD 800.
Season. September to December is peak wedding season in Singapore, and popular Saturday dates get booked out 2 to 3 months ahead. Expect less flexibility on pricing during this window. NE monsoon season, November to January, also means we factor in wind-rated rigging for outdoor tents.
Duration. Most wedding tentage is a one-day rental with setup the evening before and teardown the next morning. Extending the rental for an extra day, common when the reception runs into a late-night D&D, adds a rental-day surcharge.
Aircon. This is the single biggest cost swing on this list, roughly doubling the base tent price. More on that below.
Do You Need Aircon Tentage for Your Wedding?
Our honest take: if your reception runs past 7pm and the tent is fully enclosed for a banquet-style dinner, aircon is worth the spend. Singapore’s evening humidity does not drop much even after sunset, and a room full of 200 pax bodies plus catering heat gets warm fast under a sealed tent.
If your event is a shorter afternoon tea reception, an outdoor cocktail-style gathering, or a solemnisation ceremony under two hours, standard fans and open-sided tent walls are usually enough. The most common mistake we see is couples defaulting to aircon “to be safe” for a two-hour event that never needed it, adding thousands to the budget for comfort nobody notices in that timeframe.
Booking Your Wedding Tent: What to Sort Out First
- Lock your guest count at least 6 to 8 weeks before the date, and round up by 10 percent for walk-in guests.
- Confirm your venue booking — for void decks, this means applying through your town council early, since approval can take one to two weeks.
- Decide on aircon based on your event timing and duration, not just guest comfort in theory.
- Get an itemised quote covering tent, lighting, flooring, and any staging separately, so you can compare vendors fairly.
- Confirm setup and teardown timing with your venue, especially for void decks with other residents using the space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a wedding tent cost for 200 guests in Singapore?
For 200 pax, expect a tent in the 12m x 18m range, costing roughly SGD 3,500 to SGD 5,500 without aircon. Adding aircon tentage at this size typically pushes the total to SGD 7,000 to SGD 10,000.
Is tentage cheaper for a void deck wedding than an open field?
Generally yes. Void decks are flat, paved, and easy to access, which keeps labour costs down. Open fields often need ground flooring or matting, especially after rain, adding SGD 300 to SGD 800 to the quote.
Do I need a permit for wedding tentage at my HDB void deck?
Yes. You will need to book the void deck space through your town council, typically one to two weeks in advance. Some estates have specific noise or time restrictions worth checking before you finalise your event timeline.
How far ahead should I book wedding tentage in Singapore?
Book 6 to 8 weeks ahead for standard dates, and 3 months ahead if your wedding falls between September and December. Popular Saturday slots during peak season get reserved early.
Does the wedding tentage price include tables and chairs?
Usually not — tentage is quoted separately from furniture. Expect to add roughly SGD 3 to SGD 8 per chair and SGD 15 to SGD 40 per table depending on style, unless you book a bundled package.
What Couples Often Forget to Budget For
Tentage is rarely the only rental cost for a wedding, and it is easy to anchor your whole budget around the tent price alone. Staging for the wedding party table, backdrop rigging, and extra lighting for evening photos are usually quoted separately and can add SGD 500 to SGD 1,500 depending on scale.
We once had a couple book a beautiful 250-pax open field tent, only to realise two days before the event that they had not budgeted for a generator to power the DJ setup and lighting rig. It was a rush add-on at a premium rate that a slightly earlier conversation with us would have avoided. Ask about power requirements when you first request your quote, not after the rest of the vendors are confirmed.
