solem @ Keyaki Pavilion
We had the our wedding solemnization at Keyaki Pavilion which was 2k more from the wedding budget but 10/10 worth it!
Since we always loved the idea of a garden wedding, we decided to bring the garden indoors to us~
There's only a very basic solem set up provided (see pic 3) so we added our own wildflowers (our floral decor inspo in pic 2!)
Also got the canapés for 30pax since we were expecting most people to come early (and hungry). We got raving reviews for the canapés, so definitely do add on if you can!
Canapés set:
Grilled Skewed Scallop with Yuzu Miso Sauce
Grilled Chicken Roll with Foie Gras
Grilled Cod with Spring Onion Miso
Deep-fried Lotus Root with Minced Prawn
California Roll
Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most significant decisions you'll make, and our experience at Keyaki Pavilion truly stood out. Although the venue cost was slightly above our initial budget, the value it added to our special day was undeniable. The pavilion’s ambiance is perfect for couples who appreciate a serene, nature-inspired setting without sacrificing the comfort of being indoors. One of the highlights was bringing our garden wedding vision to life by adding our own wildflowers. This personal touch not only enhanced the basic solemn setup but also made the space feel warm and inviting. If you're planning a wedding at a similar venue, consider customizing floral designs to reflect your style—it can transform a simple setting into something memorable. Another key aspect was planning the catering. Opting for canapés for our 30 guests was a smart move since many arrived early and were ready to eat. The variety we chose—from Grilled Skewed Scallop with Yuzu Miso Sauce to Deep-fried Lotus Root with Minced Prawn—received enthusiastic praise, proving that quality finger food can elevate the guest experience. Catering options that balance elegance and taste are worth considering to keep your guests happy and engaged. Hosting a wedding at Keyaki Pavilion can be a rewarding experience, especially if you embrace its unique features and are willing to add personal touches. If you're thinking of a garden-inspired indoor wedding with intimate vibes, this venue could be the perfect choice to create unforgettable memories.
