Tying the knot while munching on a Big Mac and nuggets may sound like a fantasy for fast food lovers, but it’s now a tantalizing reality—at least in Indonesia. McDonald’s has recently introduced a wedding package that allows couples to celebrate their love with a side of fries, demonstrating that passion for your partner and your patties can indeed go hand in hand.
McDonald’s Indonesia Rolls Out Wedding Catering Package
Imagine saying your vows with the aroma of McChicken sandwiches wafting through the air. McDonald’s Indonesia has made this possible with an all-inclusive wedding catering package priced at about €215. This deal isn’t just any offering; it includes an impressive lineup of 100 McChickens, 100 boxes of nuggets, or 100 Big Macs to feed the wedding guests.
Currently available exclusively in Jakarta, the success of this quirky package might lead to its expansion to other cities and perhaps even other countries. However, Rizki Haryadi, a local executive at McDonald’s Indonesia, clarifies that the service is strictly culinary. The package doesn’t cover venue rentals at McDonald’s locations but focuses solely on food, much like a traditional catering service.
From Hong Kong to Jakarta: The Evolution of McDonald’s Wedding Packages
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has ventured into wedding services. The concept originated in Hong Kong in 2011 and has enjoyed steady popularity. “Many customers told us that they dated here at McDonald’s and wanted to make the full circle of their relationship where it all began,” shared a spokesperson from the franchise in 2014. This sentimental attachment has led couples to celebrate their special moments where their love stories started.
Unlike the straightforward Indonesian version, Hong Kong’s McDonald’s offers a more elaborate package. Their deluxe option, which costs up to HK$9,999 (approximately €1,187), includes amenities like a two-hour restaurant rental and a master of ceremonies, ensuring that couples have a truly memorable celebration.
A Waiting Game for Global Fans
For fans dreaming of a similar service in other parts of the world, patience is necessary. There’s no word yet on when or if McDonald’s will roll out these wedding packages globally. For now, those outside Indonesia or Hong Kong have to content themselves with traditional wedding venues—or perhaps start planning a destination wedding to Jakarta.
In the meantime, this innovative approach by McDonald’s highlights a fun and modern twist to wedding celebrations, perfectly blending the love for fast food with the joy of matrimonial bliss. Whether or not this trend catches on, it’s clear that the idea of celebrating love with a touch of whimsy (and a lot of fries) is certainly appealing to many.
