What to know | Choosing an Outdoor Wedding Ceremony at Taipei W: 2026 Package Splits Poolside and Sky Garden

The key details: Taipei W Hotel's "Shine Your Love" ceremony package offers two open-air venues on the 10th floor WET Bar—poolside and sky garden—each with different time slots and atmospheres, bookable separately or added onto a wedding banquet, with differing capacity and pricing structures.

What to know | Choosing an Outdoor Wedding Ceremony at Taipei W: 2026 Package Splits Poolside and Sky Garden

The "Shine Your Love" ceremony plan announced by W Taipei in 2026 lists the 10th floor poolside and sky garden as two outdoor scene options. Both can accommodate up to 60 guests, but the available time slots and package content differ. Venue and pricing should be compared alongside time slots and package eligibility; actual bookable dates and applicable pricing should still be confirmed with the hotel before signing a contract.

How Are the Two Outdoor Venues Divided?

W Taipei's "Shine Your Love" ceremony package sets its venues within the 10th floor WET Bar area, divided into poolside and sky garden scenes. The WET Bar poolside bar combines an outdoor terrace with an indoor bar space, offering views of the city skyline and poolside scenery, and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., during which couples can freely schedule a 3-hour ceremony window, offering greater flexibility. In contrast, the sky garden venue's usage time is fixed from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., featuring natural light and greenery as its distinguishing characteristics, with a set time slot. Both venues can accommodate up to 60 guests, similar in scale, with the main difference lying in lighting conditions and the flexibility of available time slots.

How Is Pricing Calculated for Add-on Ceremonies Versus Standalone Packages?

Couples who have already signed a wedding banquet package at W Taipei may add a same-day ceremony service, with venue and audiovisual equipment fees costing TWD 60,000 plus 10% service charge. For couples not holding a formal banquet but only requiring a standalone ceremony, the hotel offers a separate package priced at TWD 90,000 plus 10% service charge, which includes a hair and makeup preparation space for the couple, along with 6 varieties of French canapés for 30 people and signature non-alcoholic mixed drinks. The price gap between the two options is notable, and each comes with different eligibility requirements and differing catering and preparation content; the add-on package focuses on venue and equipment, while the standalone package covers catering and preparation needs before and after the ceremony. When evaluating, the total number of ceremony guests should be calculated separately from the number of food portions included in the package; a capacity of 60 people does not mean every package includes catering for 60 people.

Basic Features of the Banquet Venues and Table Menu Design

All banquet halls at W Taipei feature a column-free design, providing a more complete visual space. The 8th floor Qili Hall is characterized by large floor-to-ceiling windows and natural lighting, offering views of the Xinyi District streetscape; on the same floor, the Fengshang Hall has a 6-meter-high ceiling and is composed of multiple sections, accommodating up to 58 tables, with the layout flexibly adjustable according to needs. In addition to the banquet spaces on the 8th floor, the Business Conference Room on the 9th floor and the Strategy Conference Room on the 11th floor are also listed as options for wedding venues, suitable for smaller-scale or differently formatted gatherings. The wedding banquet table menu is designed by a team led by Executive Chef Yang Shih-hsien of the banquet hall, with prices starting at TWD 33,800 per table plus 10% service charge.

This plan separates the ceremony and the banquet into different usage scenarios: those who have already signed for a banquet can choose a same-day add-on, while those holding only a ceremony have a standalone package option. Determining first whether a banquet is needed, then comparing ceremony venues, catering portions, and usage time slots, offers more clarity than simply looking at the starting figures of sixty thousand or ninety thousand NT dollars.
