Venue Options

Alright, Ci Lina showed us around some places for "THE" venue in Jakarta. What become the consideration was the guest list are only for around 200 people, so we don't need a big place like ball room or something, because it is considered as a wedding rehearsal. It has to be casual, have lots of seating area, we also love outdoor and the place should have character. *grin...

Ok, here are the options in alphabetical order.

Indochine

FX'ntertainment Center F8 

Why I love this place:

They have small open bar in outdoor decking area complete with some coconut palm trees! Grey, white and green.. then inside, how can you not love the chandelier, all those big floral print sofas and the purple curtain ceiling! This is so Baroque! 

Cons: 

- Since we are doing this party on Saturday and the venue is actually one of the 'It' club in Jakarta, so we only can use it until 10PM. It will be opened for public after that. Although I don't mind having after party, right?!... 

- Most of the guests are mature people, we are not sure if they can have a great time in this place. 

- Not easy parking place

Grand Hyatt F5 

Why I love this place:

The whole house! It's so simple, modern yet elegant.  Outdoor and indoor are both available for the party area. We could have this house the whole day, so guests could actually stay longer after the party. Food would be great and yummy for sure. 

Not much decoration needed so the budget could go to other parts. 

Cons: 

- Costs a fortune

Sheraton Bandara

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport

Why I love this place:

The place is quite secluded. Getting into the hotel entrance, suddenly you can't hear and feel those crazy noise and traffic - except of the planes coming in and out. It's like you were not in Jakarta anymore. Lots of trees, I can actually see my whole family having a great time here. 

And it is really close to my home.

Cons: 

- It's totally outdoor. With the unpredictable weather around April-May, we are not sure if the weather will be friendly. 

- Some people said the food is fairly plain.
