Reservation for 'Seoul Public Wedding Hall' Opens for Next Year
Applications Accepted Starting from the 23rd
Seoul City, which is promoting the “My Own Wedding” project that opens public facilities as public wedding halls, announced on the 22nd that it will release the 2024 rental schedule and accept applications from prospective couples preparing for weddings next year starting from the 23rd.
The 2024 rental schedule can be checked on the ‘Family Seoul’ website. There are a total of 20 public wedding halls with released rental schedules: ▲8 indoor facilities including Seoul Women’s Plaza, ▲10 outdoor facilities such as Buk Seoul Dream Forest, ▲and 2 hanok (traditional Korean house) facilities including Yehyangjae. The rental fee (based on 8 hours) ranges from free to a maximum of 1.2 million KRW, allowing use at a more affordable cost compared to general wedding halls.
Applications are open to anyone if one of the two prospective spouses is a Seoul citizen (resident or living in the area). After prior consultation via phone or the ‘Family Seoul’ website, couples can sign a wedding contract through 1:1 customized consulting with the dedicated company for each wedding hall.
The city is striving to minimize restrictions on the use of public wedding halls by setting weddings twice a day on Saturdays and Sundays as a principle. It is conducting close inter-agency consultations to improve convenience for prospective couples using public wedding halls, including expanding weekend rentals of existing public wedding halls and relaxing the ban on bringing food for receptions.
Additionally, next year, Seoul City plans to promote customized facility improvements to optimize the environment of public wedding halls, while providing basic wedding supplies such as chairs and tables to eliminate rental fees for prospective couples. Furthermore, new spaces (public or public-private partnership facilities) reflecting the preferences of prospective couples will also be expanded.
