The content of this article is written in consultation with our Event Photographer, Clinton Lee.
Clinton is one of our photographers who have shot at different function rooms and the ballroom within Marina Bay Sands. Having an experienced photographer at your event means familiarity with the venue layout, and the general flow of guests.
Marina Bay Sands is a suitable venue for both large and smaller events. While a single photographer is sufficient to cover a function room sized event, you should consider having more than 1 photographer if your event has more than 300 guests.

Conference Event Photographer at Marina Bay Sands
In this event held at the Marina Bay Sands Level 5 ballroom, the event organisers have setup a huge LED backdrop. Lending to the grandeur of the conference event. You will also notice that the lighting setup by the AVL vendor is excellent, allow the live feed video to look great on the LED wall.
Gala Dinner Event Videography at Marina Bay Sands
For a large event crowd and large event venue like the Marina Bay Sands Level 5 ballroom, you will likely need more than 1 photographer and videographer to cover the event effectively. In the above video, the footage is captured by 2 videographers. Allowing for a good balance of stage activities, audience reaction and creative shots.
Marina Bay Sands Ballroom Foyer Setup
A feature of the Marina Bay Sands ballroom is the large foyer area where you can host fringe activities for guests during the pre-event reception or breaks. And this is especially useful at Dinner & Dance where we can see multiple variations of instant photo booths being setup to handle the large event crowd.
Stage & Speaker Event Photography at Marina Bay Sands
A special stage platform was setup at this event to complement the curved LED wall. Again lending to the grandeur. The lighting from AVL is important, and you will be surprised that many events did not have sufficient brightness from the stage lights, causing the live feed and video recording to appear darker than ideal.
