“What do you think about getting married at McDonald’s?” Those are the words that every girl dreams of hearing leading up to her big wedding day. Big Macs, chicken nuggets, McFlurrys, the subtle smell of grease… What’s not to love?
If getting married in McDonald’s is a dream of yours, that can now become a reality, as the fast-food chain has revealed that they are offering their very own wedding service. And, as you can imagine, it’s ridiculously cheap.
An average American wedding tends to set loving couples (or their families) back by around $20k to $30k, which is an insane amount of money! However, McDonald’s…their wedding service is a tiny fraction of that! Dubbing their wedding service as the “Happiness Party”, the cost is a very doable $381. This package offers 2-hour venue rental, basic audio equipment, and a party MC.
Decorations include a romantic roses balloon arch, a heart-shaped balloon set, and a ‘love’ balloon table runner. And, depending on price, packages also include everything from McDonald’s branded wedding rings to tiered apple pie cake displays and customized invitations.
McDonald’s spokesperson, Jessica Lee told CNBC that the idea for the packages started because the fast-food retailer occupies a special place in the hearts of many young couples… Whether they like to admit it or not.
“We started the program because many customers tell us that McDonald’s is where they first started dating,” Ms. Lee explained. “McDonald’s is where their love stories grew.”
And they don’t just stop at weddings. The fast-food giant also caters for engagement, anniversary and bridal shower parties.
There’s one little catch, however…
The service is only available right now in McDonald’s Hong Kong locations. The service actually started back in 2011, in just two locations. However, there are no 15 locations!
