about the owner

I am a hands-on person and I love to build things

When I set up this space from scratch, the inspiration came from a few things I love:
The villa I stayed in Bali inspired me to build a mini forest at my lawn
Hotels inspired me to add music and scents to the bathroom
Weddings that I photographed inspired me to create an industrial vibe with special lightings…

initially, I would invite my friends to catch up and talk about life over beer.

After hosting a few larger friends gatherings:

Some suggested the idea of opening up space for rental

By word of mouth, it became one of the fav choices for teenagers & young adults

Everyone seemed to like the clutter filled industrial space here

because everything here is DIY built out of passion,

The VIBE Space is different from the rest.

Premium Facilities

Outdoor Chill out Balcony

Enjoy the night breeze while having a cigarette at our Bali-themed garden. 15 pax can chill and watch the moon at the same time! In many of the parties we hosted, there will be a group-usually guys that like to chill outside, and a group that prefers air-con indoors. Our signature balcony is the smokers heaven. It is build from scratch to recreate the Bali villa vibe. Some of your guests may prefer a quieter vibe rather than the party vibe inside; thats when they can head outside to rest and talk about their life goals and troubles

Two Signature Lighting themes

Signature Nightlife Mood

- Feels like partying at Zouk

- Smoke machine, 3D Laser projection, Moving heads, Disco mood lights, Strobes, UV Floodlight,

Heartwarming Mood

- Feels like in an intimate cafe wedding

- Carpet of fairy lights on the ceiling, warm lights at various parts of the room.

Free use of Backdrop system

Save the trouble to buy or rent the backdrop and stand system; simply bring your own decors to stick on our large 2.8m width cloth.. We have various colours of fabric backdrops available here. they are professional backdrops we use for our own fashion portrait shoots. What some of our hosts do:

Birthday Balloon Letters
Banners
Balloons
Additional decors like paste-on Monsterra leaves
Some Gen Z folks prefer to keep it chill with total nothing setup, or just a simple small "18" Balloon thats all.

Sounds like concert

We appreciate high-quality audio and thus invested on similar speakers used by churches so you can enjoy the same warm experience.

You can simply connect to our sound system wirelessly through bluetooth connection

Dedicated Lighting engineer for your event

Whether you want the max party vibe with all our colourful lasers, smoke machine, spot lightings activated, or a slightly formal vibe with white spotlighting to the main backdrop area, or just a cosy warm dark cafe vibe for your intimate event, our custom designed lighting system are able to recreate the look you like. Having a dedicated lighting engineer on site throughout the event means we will actively program different lighting during different parts of the event. Example Scenarios:

Activation of smoke machine effect during arrival of birthday person or dance segment.
Increasing warm flood lighting for critical moments like group photo session so that everyone is well lit and your photos on social media appear much sharper.
Special concert spot light on the speaker during thank you speeches
Flashing moving lights directed at the dance floor to amplify the party experience
If you have a special theme color for your party or corporate event, we can turn the entire room into a single color eg red/purple etc

Because this is a photo studio, we have full control of how the lighting look. This is what differentiates us from other venues with a typical standard lighting setup that appear just like another function room. You know how it feels like to be drinking under bright, constant lightings eg in function rooms or homes. Because everyone can see each other so clearly, somehow it doesnt feel like the right vibe. We personally attended our own friend's gatherings and experienced that first hand

Free use of Rustic and Industrial props

As this is a photo studio, we have a large range of insta-worthy props including artificial plants, flowers, wooden pallets, leaves, vintage style objects like stools, work tools, which you may use to decorate the space. This means you can save money on buying decorations for the one-time event. Just ensure that everything is returned back to its original place after the event.

Foodpanda Self Pickup inside our building!

The best part of our venue is we have a Food Panda Kitchen in our building. Simple order "Self Pickup" order from the app, then walk to level 1 to collect within 20mins. That means you get freshly cooked food and save both the delivery fee + additional 15% discount. You can order as and then you need since its just downstairs The most popular food here is Wing Stop Boneless Wings! There is no better way to get freshly prepared food unless you hire external catering vendors to setup here. Events held at other venues means you and your friends need to either buy food elsewhere and carry them here, or order Grab food; which cost a lot more and food is no longer as fresh by the time it arrives.

Many Tables and Chairs are provided

No need to rent chair and tables from carousell since we have more than enough for everyone: Indoor Space Total 35 seatings Outdoor balcony space: Total 10 seatings Seatings are a mix of various Sofas, Chairs and Stools For your FYO Food and Drinks, as well as Birthday Cake Table, we can provide:

4x regular size foldable tables approx 120cmx60cm
4x Cooler box - Bring your own ice
Ladder for use when setting up and tearing down

Professional Projector (Add-on)

Cinema grade high clarity projector for a movie screening and artistic music-video shoots. Add on fees: $60 for up to 3 hours, $20 per additional hour

In-house washroom

a few seconds away. it smells like hotel here too with our aroma machines. Our flooring is covered with soft mats so you wont feel that sticky wet sensation like in public toilets.

24 hours parking

Your event can start late and end in the wee hours if you guys are the nightlife crowd

Venue Viewing 95% of all parties here book solely through viewing our website and social media platforms for behind the scene videos. However if you still prefer to meet in person, we can schedule a viewing appointment. There is a fixed rate of $80 for a 15min session, because of the time we need to block off from our schedule to prepare the space, setup/teardown the lighting systems, and meet with you in person. Although some venues provide free viewing, unfortunately we are unable to support that because on normal days the space is a photo studio with other projects. Our space is managed by the owner-photographer himself, while other spaces have full time staff operating them. Therefore we recommend you simply check out our Instagram @thevibe.space or Tiktok @vibespacesg to get a better idea of how the space look and feel.
