Do I need a business license to work as an event organiser in Singapore?

There is no specific license required to work as an event organiser in Singapore, but you must be registered for tax with IRAS as a self-employed person or sole trader. Check the IRAS website for current registration requirements and contact them if you are unsure about your situation. Some events may require permits depending on the venue or type of event.

What photos should I put on my event organiser profile?

Show photos from events you have organised. Include images of venue setups, decorations, guest experiences or final event scenes. If you are just starting out, use photos that represent the type of events you want to organise or the quality of your work. Update your profile with more photos as you complete events.

How do I set my prices for event organising services?

You set your own prices for each service. Think about your experience, the type of events you organise and how much time and resources each service requires. You can offer different prices for different event sizes, complexity levels or areas you cover. You can also enable quote requests so clients ask for custom pricing based on their specific event.

Can I work across different areas of Singapore on my Websta profile?

Yes, you can list multiple areas or postal codes where you work. Clients search by location, so include all the places you are willing to organise events. You can update your service area at any time as your business grows.

How do clients pay me through Websta?

Clients pay by card through Websta. Payments are processed by Stripe and paid to your own bank account. You receive the funds directly, so you handle all your own payment processing and need to account for the income in your tax filings.

Event organiser profile page in Singapore: what to include

Updated October 21, 2026

What sections your profile should contain

Your Websta profile works as both a profile page and a booking platform. Set up the core sections that clients expect to see when they look at your work. Start with a clear description of what you do: the types of events you organise, your experience and the scope of your service. Write this in plain language so someone searching for an event organiser understands what you offer.

Add a services section listing the specific things you provide. Examples might include wedding coordination, corporate event planning, birthday party organisation, festival coordination or conference management. You decide what you offer and set your own prices for each service. A photos section is essential - include images from past events you have organised, venue setups, decorations or guest experiences. Clients want to see real examples of your work.

Include a contact form so potential clients can reach you directly. You can also enable online booking or quote request features on your profile. Decide which option works best for your business: some event organisers prefer to quote after discussing event details, while others accept bookings for specific packages.

Languages to publish in

Publish your profile in English and any other languages you work in. English is widely used in Singapore for business and events, so include it as your main language. If you work regularly with clients in Mandarin, Malay or Tamil, add those languages to your profile as well. This makes it easier for clients who prefer to communicate in their first language to find and contact you.

How clients in Singapore search for event organisers

People looking for an event organiser in Singapore search by service type and location. They use the Websta marketplace to find providers nearby, browsing by postcode or postal district. Some search for specific event types like wedding organisers or corporate event planners. Others post a task describing their event and what they need, and then providers make offers.

Your profile appears in search results when someone looks for your type of service in a location where you work. Make sure your service descriptions use the words people actually search for, such as the type of events you organise or the areas you cover. Include the postal codes or districts where you operate.

Working as an independent event organiser in Singapore

If you work as a sole trader or self-employed event organiser, you need to be registered for tax purposes with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Check the IRAS website for current requirements about registering as a self-employed person or sole proprietor. You may need to register for Goods and Services Tax (GST) depending on your turnover. Contact IRAS directly to confirm what applies to your situation.

Keep records of your income and business expenses. You will need these for tax returns. If you use Websta to receive payments from clients, card payments are paid to your own bank account through Stripe. This means you handle payment processing and need to account for all income in your tax filings.

If you work with venues, suppliers or other businesses, keep contracts and agreements clear and in writing. There is no special licensing requirement to work as an event organiser in Singapore, but you should check with the relevant local authority if your events involve public spaces, licensing for entertainment or specific venue requirements. Different towns and event types may have different rules.

What to write in your first hour

Start by writing a one or two sentence summary of what you do. Example: 'I organise corporate events and conferences across Singapore, handling venue booking, catering coordination and guest experience from start to finish.' This goes at the top of your profile.

List five to ten specific services you offer. Be concrete about what clients get. Instead of just 'event planning', write 'wedding coordination for ceremonies and receptions' or 'corporate team building event organisation'. Include the postal codes or areas where you work.

Add two or three of your best photos. Even if you do not have many event photos yet, use images that represent the type of events you organise or the quality you deliver. You can add more photos later.

Write a short contact message clients see when they reach out. Keep it professional and let them know your next step - for example, 'I will respond within one day to discuss your event and provide a quote.'

Set up at least one service with a price, or enable quote requests so clients can ask for custom pricing.

Why a Websta profile matters for event organisers

Clients search for event organisers on Websta when they need help organising an event. A complete profile with photos, services and clear contact options helps people find you and decide to work with you. Your profile is live across Singapore, visible to anyone searching for your type of service in the areas you cover. You control your own information, photos, services and prices. Payments from clients go straight to your bank account.
