Wedding venue hunting just got a whole lot sweeter! After months of searching hotels, I stumbled upon Singapore's most delicious wedding secret – Swensen Unlimited's stunning new event space at Science Park.
The newly launched Acacia Geneo (opened May 14) isn't your ordinary restaurant. By day, it serves up Swensen's famous international buffet spread. But book it for your special occasion, and voilà – you've got yourself a breathtaking wedding venue just minutes from Kent Ridge MRT!
From the moment I stepped in, I was smitten. Sunlight pours through the windows onto warm wood and rattan furnishings that create an effortlessly elegant atmosphere. The pièce de résistance? A massive customizable LED backdrop perfect for projecting your love story or monogram.
Need privacy? There's an exclusive bridal suite that doubles as anything from a prayer room to VIP lounge. With capacity for 200 guests and modular furniture, the space transforms to match any wedding theme imaginable.

What truly sets The Acacia Geneo apart is their all-inclusive approach. Their wedding packages include:
Themed decor options (no need to hunt down florists!)
