Wedding Live Stations and Catering Price Guide in Singapore

Live stations are one of the fastest ways to upgrade your guest experience. And they're becoming increasingly popular at weddings for very good reasons. However, pricing can be a bit convoluted: setup fees, minimum portions, manpower, and extra hours can change the “headline price” a lot. This guide breaks down costs for gelato/ice cream, waffle stations, and coffee/matcha carts, with simple rules to decide what’s worth it. How much do live stations cost at weddings? Answer: In Singapore, wedding live stations are usually priced per pax/portion, per hour, or per cup, and the true cost depends on minimum order, setup fees, and manpower. To make comparisons easier, think in two layers:

1. Base pricing model (per pax / per hour / per cup)
2. Add-ons that change the invoice (longer hours, additional servings if the base package servings ran out) The 3 pricing components you must take note Usually, the vendors will offer a base package that includes:

• Number of hours
• Number of flavours
• Quantity of servings
• Then, if they have top-ups should you require to extend the number of hours, offer more flavours, or request more servings if your base quantity sold out really quickly like hotcakes at the wedding. How much do ice cream & waffles cost?
