Fast food giant McDonald’s recently rolled out a wedding catering package to customers in Indonesia, pricing the feast at $233.
In an Instagram post in late June, the company announced that couples and their guests can enjoy 100 chicken sandwiches and 400 chicken nuggets during their nuptials.
At present, the unique wedding package is exclusive to Indonesia. However, McDonald’s suggested it might bring the offer to the United States and other countries depending on its success in the initial launch market, according to Fox 4 KDFW.
McDonald’s is not alone in exploring the wedding industry.
Other fast-food giants like Taco Bell and KFC have also dabbled in offering wedding packages.
Taco Bell’s Las Vegas flagship store offers couples a quirky ceremony, custom merchandise, and a Cinnabon cake for $777.
Some might question the pairing of McDonald’s and matrimony, but couples have long been adding a touch of golden arches magic to their special day with themed weddings.
In Hong Kong, the fast food chain has been offering its restaurants as wedding and reception venues since 2010. Such events have included festive decor with Apple Pie displays substituting for traditional wedding cakes.
McDonald’s classic Apple Pie was joined by a new Cookies & Crème Pie for a limited time at select restaurants. The dessert item had previously only been available in Malaysia.
In addition to wedding catering, McDonald’s restaurants in Indonesia offer some specialty items on their menus, including the Beef Yakiniku Tamago Burger, which features a beef patty topped with cabbage, nori, a fried egg, and a Japanese-style sauce.
As previously covered in The Dallas Express, McDonald’s announced in April that it would be tweaking its recipes to make some of its classic items all the more appealing to customers. For instance, it made its hamburger buns softer, started grilling onions directly on the burger patties, switched to more melty cheese, and added more sauce to the classic Big Mac sandwich.
News of the recipe overhaul followed an attempt to streamline the company’s corporate operations, which included laying off many non-restaurant workers and some executives, reducing compensation packages, and closing a number of field offices.
