Gardens by the Bay
Singapore’s well-known “Gardens by the Bay” in recent years was the venue for the post-wedding party thrown by the friends of the male and female leads. Comprising three gardens located in the east, south, and central areas of Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay showcases creativity and engineering marvels, especially the towering Supertree Grove in the South Garden. These 12 tree-like structures, made of steel and concrete and covered in tropical plants, light up with a dazzling sound-and-light show after dark.

Marina Bay Sands SkyPark
The location where the male and female protagonists held their engagement party toward the end of the movie is the famous “SkyPark” of Marina Bay Sands. Offering a 360-degree panoramic view of Singapore, this spaceship-like structure has become one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, and its rooftop infinity pool is the largest of its kind in the world.

Raffles Hotel
The “Raffles Hotel,” where the male and female leads stayed together, was built in 1887 and designated as a historical monument by the Singapore government in 1987. This colonial-style Victorian building exudes an air of grandeur, and the thoughtfully selected furnishings in its lobby further highlight its refined elegance.

CHIJMES (Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus)
In the movie, the wedding venue of the male lead’s best friend is located right across from Raffles Hotel, at the historic Singapore site “CHIJMES.” Originally a Catholic girls’ school, CHIJMES is beautifully designed, particularly with its stunning stained-glass ceilings. Once a place of prayer for nuns, it is now a popular wedding venue.
