Big, fat Jakarta wedding is the (common) way to go. Yet, this might not be the cup of tea for everyone. You could be that someone who secretly detests being exhibited on the dais, shaking hands with some 1,000 guests — most of them you have never heard of. Yet, you might not have the heart to tell your parents that you are not comfortable having their elementary schoolmates as your wedding guests. Apparently, this pandemic condition could have its silver lining for you. With the upcoming new normal, you now have legit justification to host your ideal small, intimate wedding in Jakarta; attended by a handful of people close to your heart. Now, we shall face the next challenge: choosing the right venue to host your dream wedding. These are my top 5 picks:
1. Agneya
Excellent Indonesian food: Checked. Various private dining options: Checked. Instagramable décor: Checked. This restaurant is strategically located in the lush, green settings of South Jakarta, serving our favourite Indonesian dishes in refined plating. What also makes this an excellent venue for small wedding is you have options to choose how “small” is small for you. They have several options to host event for 16–150 people (this is capacity under normal condition, mind you). Hence, you can choose how intimate your wedding reception is going to be.
2. Hutan Kota by Plataran
Managed by local hospitality group, Plataran, this venue promises greeneries amidst the bustling central business district of Jakarta. The delicious home cooking, remarkable décor, and array of private dining rooms to choose from are surely the pull factor to consider this venue as to host that memorable wedding of yours.
3. OSO Ristorante
If you are looking to serve Italian fine-dining menu to your esteemed wedding guests, this is an excellent venue you should consider. Located in the heart of Jakarta, this restaurant is easily accessible by your guests. The plush décor will also look good in your wedding pictures. Alongside the Italian food, you could also celebrate your wedding with its vast selection of Italian wine, liquors and cocktails.
4. Seribu Rasa
Personally, this restaurant brings back good memories of spending time with family while munching delicious food. Indeed, it serves mouthwatering Southeast Asian delicacies that (usually) go well with our palate. Starting off with 1 restaurant in Central Jakarta, the brand now runs 9 outlets, including one in Bekasi, each with its own private dining area. Hence, location-wise, you will get multitude options to serve your needs and requirements.
5. Taste Paradise
This is a famous fine-dining Chinese restaurant in Central Jakarta. In the past few years, it has managed to win the hearts of many Chinese food lovers in Jakarta with its twist of traditional dishes from our childhood. As the go-to restaurants for many families, this restaurant has its share of experience in hosting wedding events.
