Mount Faber Peak Ballroom Pairs Panoramic Views with Flexible Event Technology

Mount Faber Leisure Group has transformed the Mount Faber Peak Ballroom into a flexible, technology-driven event venue with a new Martin Professional Lighting and JBL Professional audio system specified and designed AVL Acoustic Systems Pte Ltd (AVLAS) and supplied by Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd. This upgrade enables one of Singapore’s most recognizable event destinations to support a broader range of premium events while preserving the venue’s panoramic views and architectural character.

Located atop Mount Faber, one of Singapore’s highest hills, Mount Faber Peak is a landmark destination overlooking the city skyline, Sentosa Island and the harbor. The ballroom has become a sought-after venue for weddings, gala dinners, corporate functions and private events, where floor-to-ceiling windows and elevated views serve as the backdrop for celebrations. As client expectations evolved, Mount Faber Leisure Group sought to modernize the space with integrated lighting and audio systems capable of transforming the ballroom’s atmosphere to suit different event formats without compromising its clean architectural aesthetic.

“Our vision was to create a ballroom that could transform as quickly as the events we host. Where light, sound and space move together to create emotion,” said Marc Brandon Hor, Project Consultant, AVLAS.

The existing ballroom relied on fixed lighting and aging truss-mounted fixtures that limited creative flexibility and resulted in a similar visual presentation for every event. Because the renovation took place within a completed venue operating on a busy event schedule, the installation team also needed to work around concealed infrastructure, ceiling load restrictions and a compressed two-week installation window.

“Transforming a completed ballroom meant navigating hidden infrastructure, load restrictions and tight schedules,” Marc said. “We needed technology that disappeared into the design yet delivered a truly flexible experience for every event.”

To achieve that goal, AVLAS specified eight Martin Professional ERA 150 Wash fixtures and eight Martin Professional ELP PAR fixtures for their high output, color flexibility, and discreet design. Finished in white to blend into the ballroom’s ceiling, the fixtures provide programmable lighting capable of transitioning

from subtle ambient illumination for wedding receptions to vibrant looks for product launches, entertainment and gala events while remaining visually unobtrusive when not in use.

The audio system was designed around 18 JBL Professional Control 47C/T ceiling loudspeakers and six JBL Professional Control 19CST ceiling subwoofers, delivering even coverage throughout the ballroom while preserving the venue’s clean interior design. The integrated system supports speeches, background music, live entertainment and multimedia presentations with smooth, even sound quality across the entire space.

With only two weeks allocated for the retrofit, close coordination between AVLAS, Electronics & Engineering and HARMAN Professional proved critical to completing the project on schedule. HARMAN Professional Solutions’ ability to provide rapid delivery and responsive technical support played a decisive role in the project’s success.

“HARMAN’s dedication to speed and quality support transforms them from a supplier into a true project partner,” Marc said. “Their responsiveness helped us overcome every logistical and technical challenge within the tight time frame.”

“Today’s hospitality venues need technology that enhances the guest experience while remaining flexible enough to support many different event types,” said Nick Screen, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “The integration of Martin Professional lighting and JBL Professional audio at Mount Faber Peak Ballroom gives the venue the ability to create distinctive environments for every event while maintaining the elegance and character that have made it one of Singapore’s premier event destinations.”

The completed installation gives Mount Faber Peak Ballroom the flexibility to transition seamlessly between weddings, corporate functions, gala dinners and private celebrations, allowing lighting and audio to become part of the guest experience rather than simply supporting it. By combining Martin Professional lighting with JBL Professional audio, AVLAS has created an integrated solution that complements one of Singapore’s most iconic event venues while positioning it to meet the evolving expectations of premium hospitality and event clients.
