13 Unconventional Venues for Prom in Singapore

Prom is definitely an event to remember. Afterall, you’ve spent a significant amount of time with your fellow classmates and CCA friends in school, and it is only fair that you get one night of fun to celebrate graduation with them.

However, if the idea having prom night at a hotel ballroom with a fancy banquet dinner sounds dull to you, this article is for you. Believe it or not, your graduation night can be memorable, fun AND different (and not held in the school hall). Cut the cliché; scrape the hotel ballroom dinner – here’s 13 Unconventional Venues for Prom in Singapore.

1. Capitol Theatre

Located near several MRT Stations like Bras Basah, Raffles Place, City Hall and Esplanade, Capitol Theatre opened its doors to the public last year after a major heritage redevelopment project (closed for 13 years!) valued at around $1.1 billion. The theatre seats can be folded all the way down into the floor to form a flat surface with the press of a button with a computerized system, creating a versatile space that is ideal for hosting arts and film events, live performances, and gala dinners. (The recent Singapore Digital Fashion Week 2015 was also held at the Capitol Theatre!) Its intricate patterns of the 12 zodiac signs on its roof, and the sculptures of winged horses on both sides of the stage make it a perfect venue for a grand and lavish red carpet prom night.
