May-Jun 2017 17 meetings & conventions • mcmag-asia.com inspiring views of the Marina Bay waterfront. Functional finesse also makes this venue a favourite for planners who wish to serve a la minute canapés with style and no fuss. The room comes equipped with counter- tops, chillers and ice-making machines for easy F&B preparation. When mood, privacy and exclusivity are of the essence, the Secret Life of Trees comes into play. Overlooking the stunning Supertree Grove, its serene lawns become especially priceless as evening arrives, when guests find themselves enjoying the popular Garden Rhapsody light and music show away from the crowds. Another option opened up last year for delegates wishing to convene on higher grounds — literally, at the OCBC Skyway. Aside from a specially scheduled Garden Rhapsody, the group may order drinks at the bar before heading up 22 metres, then toasting to success with Singapore's cityscape twinkling beyond. Groups who wish to incorporate a little playtime into their schedule will enjoy the Silver Leaf, set under the triangular canopy of three looming Supertrees. In the day, use its outdoor space to hold a relaxing tai chi workout or games session, easily moving in and out of tentages for refreshments. Or take the team spirit further with a fun photography trail around the Gardens, discovering new routes, flora, art sculptures, and each other's company too. SHOW-STOPPERS UNDER THE STARS For gala nights and themed functions, the picturesque Flower Field Hall never fails to impress, accentuated by specially programmed LED mood lights and Marina Bay's shimmering skyline. Regardless of the weather, this glass-ensconced indoor venue ushers up to 1,100 guests into a memorable setting of perpetual spring, thanks to its location within the Flower Dome. When it comes to large-scale set-ups, the expansive alfresco area of The Meadow is a perfect choice, with its capacity of up to 30,000 standing audience. On breezy days, the same lush grounds double as a playground for fun-filled team bonding sessions, community events, and family outings.
