Chinese weddings are rich in tradition and can be significantly more expensive than Western-style weddings due to elaborate rituals and cultural expectations. Here are some common items that couples need to prepare for:

• Guo Da Li (过大礼) Betrothal Gifts: This traditional gift exchange includes items like wedding cakes, red packets for the bride’s parents, and gold jewellery. Estimated cost: ~$6,300.
• Wedding Bands: Depending on material and design, expect to spend between $2,000 – $5,000.

• Wedding Banquet: Often the biggest expense, banquet costs can range from $30,000 – $50,000 for a traditional 8–10 course meal at a hotel ballroom. However, red packet contributions from guests may help offset some of this cost.

A traditional Malay wedding in Singapore is a grand celebration rooted in cultural heritage. From pre-wedding customs to post-ceremony feasts, each stage carries deep meaning, and costs can quickly add up. Here’s what couples usually spend on:

• Merisik Gifts: These are proposal gifts given to the bride’s family, including items like handbags, food, jewellery, and the duit hantaran — typically ranging from $8,000 to $15,000.
• Mas Kahwin (Dowry): A symbolic sum paid during the engagement (bertunang) and solemnisation stages.
• Marriage Preparation Course: A mandatory course for Muslim couples in Singapore. It’s customary to give a token of appreciation to the religious teacher.
• Marriage Registration: Issued after meeting with a Registry of Muslim Marriages (ROMM) officer — minimal cost but essential.
• Hantaran (Exchange of Gifts): Families present items like Malay formal attire, perfumes, or electronics during the solemnisation ceremony.
• Sirih Dara & Mahar: The sirih dara (betel leaf arrangement) symbolises purity, while mahar is the groom’s monetary gift to the bride.
• Reception Costs: Catering, venue rental, bridal outfits, décor, kompang, and entertainment can cost upwards of $20,000 depending on guest size.

A well-prepared budget, supported by a flexible wedding loan from Horison Credit, can help you honour these traditions without financial strain.

A Western-style wedding in Singapore is often elegant, formal, and highly personalised, but it can also be costly. Couples typically spend anywhere between $50,000 to $100,000, depending on the scale and preferences. Here’s a breakdown of major expenses:

• Dowry: Though less common in Western customs, some families in Singapore still practise it to show respect and receive the blessings of the bride’s parents.
• Wedding Bands: Symbolising eternal love, wedding rings can cost $2,000 to $5,000 per pair depending on design and material.
• Wedding Banquet: A key highlight of the day, banquet costs easily start from $30,000, especially when held at hotels or premium venues.
• Bridal Package: These packages typically include pre-wedding photography, makeup, hair styling, bridal gown, and the groom’s suit — expect to budget around $3,500 or more.
• Solemnisation Ceremony: Includes venue rental, basic decorations, and light refreshments, costing anywhere between $3,000 to $5,000.
• Photography & Videography: A professional team to capture your special moments may cost another $2,000 to $4,000.

These are just foundational costs, depending on your preferences, you may incur additional expenses for décor, entertainment, gifts, and more. If you need financial support to manage these expenses, a wedding loan from Horison Credit can help you tie the knot without breaking the bank.
