How much does a small event cost in Woodlands?

RoomS$135S$45 an hour for three hours, the minimum booking.
CleaningS$20 to S$50Depends on how the space is left after the event.

When should I hold it?

  • Weekday evenings suit working adults. Dott's event space is available on weekdays from 7pm.
  • Saturday mornings suit parents and families, and people are less tired than on a weeknight.
  • Avoid exam weeks if your audience is students or parents. O and N Level papers run through October and into November.
  • Book early for December, when weekends fill with year-end gatherings.

  • Name tags, pens and printed handouts if people will write.
  • Water and a short break every hour to keep energy up.
