Jason is brilliant and has done a great job taking care of me. He has also taken care of my wife and a few other friends that I have referred to him over the years, and I could not recommend him highly enough. He is very thorough and thoughtful, and it is not just about the adjustments, he is very good at giving exercises and instructions for me to do myself to maintain the good stuff he is doing. The pay per session rate feels a bit expensive, but on a plan it is good value.

I hired Joyce mostly because the menus are customizable and the quality of the food is pretty good. The price felt competitive, and overall everything was pretty good. I did think they should improve the onsite service staff a bit, and some staff were not as professional as the rest. Other than the service staff, the rest was all right and I would hire them again.

I engaged with them last month. I had a very fast and good experience with them because the team communicated very clearly. When I told them what I wanted, they gave very good advice, and the quality exceeded my expectation. The colors were very nice and comfy, and they were more affordable than I expected. I searched for other companies and they were the most affordable ones, I highly recommend them.

What to know about events & culinary in Singapore

Singapore takes food safety seriously, and that works in your favour when hiring. Anyone preparing food for sale needs a licence from the Singapore Food Agency, so a caterer operating from an unlicensed home kitchen is not simply cutting corners, they are working outside the rules and your guests carry the risk. Halal claims are worth checking too, since certification comes from MUIS and is displayed with a certificate rather than a sticker anyone can buy. Venues add their own layer: void deck events and alcohol both need permits. Locallista lists caterers, planners, private chefs and event providers in Singapore, screened before listing and ranked only on phone-verified reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a caterer I can trust in Singapore?
Start with caterers Locallista has screened before listing and read recent reviews that mention events like yours. Preparing food for sale needs a licence from the Singapore Food Agency, and caterers work from licensed premises, so it's fair to ask about both. That matters most when you're feeding a room full of guests. Contact details are visible after you sign up.
How do I choose the right type of event professional?
Start from the event. A catering company feeds a party or office event, bakers and patissiers handle cakes and desserts, and an event and party organiser coordinates the whole thing if you'd rather hand it over. For the atmosphere and the memories, add DJs and musicians, photographers or videographers. Open the category that matches and check the listing covers your date and guest numbers.
How do I find reliable suppliers for my event?
Shortlist from reviews that mention events like yours, then contact two or three suppliers with the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs, and compare what each one includes. A quick reply with clear answers is a good sign. Reviews on Locallista are usually collected by phone after the event.
Should I get a written booking before paying a deposit?
Yes. Before any deposit, get the date, times, what's included (food, drinks, staff, equipment, setup and clearing) and the cancellation terms confirmed in writing. For photos and video, add how many edited images or minutes you'll get and when. Ask whether prices are nett, since some quotes add GST on top.
How do I check a halal claim?
Ask to see the current MUIS certificate. Halal certification in Singapore comes from MUIS, and certified businesses hold a certificate with a validity period rather than just a logo on a menu. If it matters for your guests, check that the certificate is current and covers the kitchen preparing your food.
Do I need a permit for an event at a void deck?
Yes, void deck bookings go through the town council or the relevant community body, with rules on noise and timing. Condo function rooms have their own booking process and deposits. Sort out the venue before you book suppliers, not the other way round.
How far ahead should I book?
Several months ahead for a wedding or a large corporate event, and longer around festive periods and popular dates, when the best caterers and venues go first. For a small dinner a few weeks is usually enough, though private chefs and bakers also book up at weekends.
What do events & culinary services cost in Singapore?
It depends on the service and your situation. As a guide, videographers in Singapore charge around S$150 to S$300 an hour of coverage, photographers around S$180 to S$350 a studio session, bakers & patissiers around S$150 to S$380 for a custom cake, and catering companies around S$18 to S$35 per pax for a standard buffet. Open the category for the full price list, and treat a written quote as the figure that matters.
