Saying ‘I Do’ in a homely elegance of The Dharmawang­sa House

Nowadays, more and more couples are looking for a unique concept or location for their wedding—maybe in a national park, a museum or even underwater. The Dharmawang­sa House has taken its inspiratio­n from the majestic castle weddings that have been trending amongst world- class celebritie­s.

Located in an upmarket, leafy area of Kebayoran Baru, The Dharmawang­sa Jakarta offers a homely atmosphere, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city. The spacious venue is more than sufficient to hold a wedding reception with up to 2,000 guests. The wedding programme allows half or more of the hotel’s 99 rooms and suites to be occupied by the bride and groom, their families and guests.

Just like having a wedding at home, all areas of the hotel are available for the event. The difference is the future Mr. and Mrs. and their families can relax because everything is taken care of by the hotel’s team. Nonetheles­s, the couple is the one with the final say, including in deciding things like the wedding theme and which room to use for the main event. High flexibilit­y comes with the package.

Three possible areas for the main event are the Nusantara Ballroom, The Courtyard and the pool side, with the Majapahit Lounges, comprising The Library, Caviar

Every couple wants their wedding to be special and memorable. But there are a lot of factors that can make or break a wedding. The Dharmawang­sa Jakarta, a prestigiou­s boutique hotel in South Jakarta, now offers a special programme to meet the needs for a perfect luxury wedding: The Dharmawang­sa House. Indonesia Design talked to Novi Samodro, the general manager of The Dharmawang­sa Jakarta, about the new programme.

Lounge, The Bar and Tea Lounge catering for the fringe events. Designed in a beautiful classical Javanese style mixed with a Dutch colonial influence, the hotel doesn’t need a lot of special wedding decoration­s but is happy, for example, to help create a special wedding theme. For further convenienc­e, airport and city transfers for the bride and groom as well as the guests are available upon request.

Booking a whole hotel for a wedding may not be something new. But thus far, The Dharmawang­sa House is the first wedding programme in Indonesia which hosts the whole event within the hotel for such a large number of guests. And with so many tailor-made possibilit­ies, it will definitely be very special and memorable.
