(REVIEW CATERING) At Jakarta Wedding Festival 2016

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ 

Halo semua capeng-capeng yang sedang searching2 review vendor pernikahan. Hihihi..

Gimana persiapan kalian? Masih galau? Sama.. hahahaa..

Kali ini aku mau sharing pengalaman aku hunting catering rekanan gedung di Jakarta Wedding Festival 2016 (Disingkat JWF) yang di selenggarakan oleh Weddingku. 

Ada banyaaaak banget vendor2 yang bisa kamu temui.. Ada booth dari Frank & Co, Hotel Mulia Senayan, Oki Setiana Dewi, Miarosa, Sanggar Liza, Puspita Sawargi , dll. Ada juga vendor untuk souvenir, honeymoon, photography dan lainnya. Pokoknya banyak ^^.

Kebetulan aku sering searching di weddingku review-review vendor pernikahan. Nah pas mereka adain JWF, langsung aku laporan ke Dimas biar bisa kesana. Dimas ajak keluarganya juga. Ramee~~

Aku udah beli voucher di groupon duluan tapi, untuk 2 tiket doang + free weddingku magazine. heheee :p 

Boothnya Puspita Sawargi yang selalu rame ^^; Ngantri sih nanya2 ke marketingnya tapi tak kunjung habis loh pengunjung yang datang ke boothnya PS. Luar Biasaaaa...

Pas masuk, adem... soalnya aku datengnya siang2, kepanasan duluan jalan dari parkiran nya.. hadeuuuh...

Booth nya Frank & Co.

Booth nya Miarosa. Dulu baju nikah kakakku bikin di Miarosa ^^ cantik deh bajunya.

Boothnya Sanggar Liza

Mencari-cari bagian catering pada dimana, ternyata masuk ke paling dalam. Melewati musim gugur dulu ^^; halah..

Pas Masuk bagian para vendor catering dll, waaaah... perut langsung laper :p
Beteewe, itu yang nama booth yang kiri, pink2 gitu adalah boothnya Melani Catering

Ini booth nya Sawargi Catering Service.
Itu ibu yang lagi berdiri di tengah adalah ibu Lucy (ownernya dan adiknya ibu Lynda owner PS. Mereka kakak adik ^^)
Ini lagi pengundian dapet bonus acara siraman/cincin nikah gitu dari SCS nya.. waaaaah.. 

Kalau tidak salah ingat, ini boothnya Bilqis. Cantik deh bentuk hijabnya :) Dimas bilang dia suka model gitu. Walaupun dress, tapi tetep Nutupin dada.

tampang cape gegara makan mulu :))

Langsung aja yaa aku ceritain review aku tentang catering-catering yang aku coba di JWF. 

(Aku cuma nyobain catering yang rekanan sama gedung pernikahan ku nanti loh yah) 

1. Puspita Sawargi

Sebenernya, aku dan Dimas sudah pernah TF pas ada acara wedding exhibition gitu.. udah nanya Pricelist (PL) juga.. tapi PLnya beda gedung dengan yang sudah di DP ^^; makluuum.. kita asal sebut aja gedung yang kita inginkan yang gatau nya ga bisa di booking April 2017.

Jadi, yang TF pas kita ke JCC yaa keluarga. Ketika keluarga pada makan di PS, aku sama Dimas ke Diamond Catering, kita langsung TF. Pas selesai TF, aku yaa mau nanya2 pricelist gitu sih, tapi marketing masih ngurusin yang lainnya. dan lama banget.. Dimas mukanya juga bete jadinya, yaudah, pindah lah kita ke PS lagi.. Bagi aku dan Dimas, makanannya PS mah ga perlu dipertanyakan lagi enaknya. Tapi ternyata keluarga Dimas kurang suka :O. Kita berdua rada kaget juga, PS aja kurang suka, gimana yang lain??? 

Aku kurang tau pasti kenapa keluarga Dimas kurang sreg sama PS, tapi yaa sudahlah.. kita pindah ke tempat lain~.
Tapi bagi aku, Rasa di PS : aku kasih nilai 8 atau 9 deh ^^

Harga Paket: Balik ke budget kalian masing2~ kalau budgetnya dibawah 200juta, di PS ada kok paket yg di bawah 200 juta~. Pintar2nya kalian milih gubugnya aja.

2. Diamond Catering

Seperti yang aku ceritakan tadi, sembari nunggu keluarga TF di PS, aku dan Dimas TF di Diamond. Kalau segi rasa.. belum ada yang "nampol" gitu.. belum ada rasa yang bikin aku mau lagi.. Dimas juga begitu.. Maaf, rasa makanannya kurang pas di lidah aku (inget, selera orang beda beda). Dan pas aku ke boothnya, marketingnya lagi full semua sama customer dan lama. Keburu keluarga pada selesai TF di PS. Yaudah, aku belum sempet nanya2 harga paketan deh.
Rasa : 7 deh.. ada yang enak, ada yang biasa aja.. tergantung selera sih yah...
Harga Paket : Gatau :|

3. Sawargi Catering Service
Pemilik PS dan SCS itu..duuuh... aku ga ngerti siapa yang kakak siapa yang adik kakak beradik. Bu Linda ownernya PS itu kakaknya, nah bu Lucy ownernya SCS adalah adiknya. Tapi yang jelas keduanya sama2 enyak enyak nyak nyak nyak. Di SCS, aku nyobain chocolate meltednya.... oemji... seneng banget deh makan itu...Buffet dan beberapa makanannya gubugnya enak.. duuh aku suka.. cuma aku ngerasain menu gubug Ribsteak (?) yang ada mashed potato itu rada kemanisan.. Tapi overall, aku suka~~
Rasa : aku nilai 8-9 deh ^^ (Mirip2 lah sama PS)
Harga Paket : Lebih murah dari PS.. hehee..Tapi tergantung gedung dan gubugan yang kalian pilih. Yaaa bisa diaturlah...

4. Hendra Pelangi
Ini aku iseng kesini... TF.. sembari nunggu marketingnya kosong...sambil makan, aku ajak Dimas TF disini juga.. okelah.. kita berdua TF.. Pas lagi makan, Dimas bilang, makanannya lumayan.. not bad.. tapi sayang ga rekanan.. aku iseng, nanya mba nya.. Kalo di gedung pernikahan kami nanti, rekanan atau tidak.. dan ternyataaa.. rekanan! Aku sama Dimas kaget, soalnya ga ada di list rekanan yang dikasih dari gedung. Dijelasin deh sama mba nya.. kalo Hendra Pelangi baru masuk rekanan beberapa minggu lalu.. Hoooo... pantesan aja...
Rasa : Ok, 7-8 lah menurut aku pribadi, tapi kalo Dimas bilang biasa aja. enak. tapi standard.. Jadi mungkin nilai dari dia cukup 7. Zuppa Soupnya ke asinan sih tapi andai ga keasinan, pasti enak... pastry di kasi lumayan banyak wijen siih...yummy.
Harga Paket : Terhitung Murah! paketannya udh termasuk undangan dibawah 150 jt... klo penawaran ke akunya, 110jt kalau tidak salah.. (untuk 500 undangan alias 1000 porsi)

Cuma segitu aja sih aku TFnya, soalnya dibilangin sama keluarga, kebanyakan TF nanti kita makin bingung. Apalagi kita udah seneng sama 1 catering... kalian bisa tebak yang mana ?? Yaap! Sawargi Catering Service!!!
Dengan mengucap basmalah, kita DP di SCS ^^.
Karena selama acara berlangsung, Ibu Lucy nya baik, sabar, dan friendly banget dengan kemauan kami..hehee..bonus2nya juga alhamdulillah banget lumayan dapet banyak. Selanjutnya, Nentuin Rias~ Untuk rias dan vendor2 lainnya bisa dilihat dengan klik "Vendor Pernikahan" yang ada di samping kiri yaa ^^
Semoga dapat membantu~ Semangaaat!

(ANSWERS) Choices: Stories You Play - The Freshman Book 1 Chapter 1

 

 

Hey There~

Today, I want to share my experience with new game from pixelberry, Choices : Stories You Play.
I think many gamers know that the game is almost similar with Episodes. Now that I've played both game, I know some players struggles with the answers should we choose. To be honest, when I play Episodes: Demi Lovato season 1 and 2, I looked up the answers through many sites. And When I looked up for answers of Choices, barely exist. So, I summarize the answers for you. (Since I played over and over again). Hope this will help you. Oh yeah, just for you know, I tried the mod app, but It only works for chapter 1 in each stories. And even if you have unlimited diamonds on the moded app, but you can not play the side story of Chris/ Kaitlyn/ James that need some diamonds. So forget those moded app in any other sites, not 100% works. Since the only free diamonds from the game is after you finished a chapter, then, that's the only you'll have to do. Do over the story over and over again.
(Example, you'll have 25 diamonds for starter. The Freshman book 1 have 17 chapters. If you finish those 17 chapters without spending any diamonds, then you'll have 25+17 = 42 diamonds. Get it ?)

Currently, I'm playing The Freshman book 1.
Potential lover will be :
Chris =  Football player who still recover from a heart break and one of your roomies.
James = Your co-worker who turns out to be your senior and rich. His passion is writting.
Kaitlyn = Your best friend and one of your roomies.

Chapter 1

Question 1

*Help me with my bag. (Chris will see your Bra in your bag
*Kiss my hand and make it better. (Your relationship with Chris will be affected)
*Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.

Question 2
(Becca shows up and make a scene)

Oh yeah?
*I couldn't care less about your love life.
*News flash... Chris is mine! (If you choose this, Becca will grin at you)
*Forget Chris! What about my clothes? (If you choose this, Becca will humiliate you)

Question 3
(You've been praised by Kaitlyn on your first met)

Thanks...
*I am super pretty.
*You're super hot! (Your relationship with Kaitlyn will affected)
*I can tell we're going to get along.

Question 4
(Kaitlyn told you that you'll be living with other 4 remaining roomies)

That's...
*Awesome!
*Horrible!

*I think a cute guy is into me!

HUT RI ke 71

MERDEKA!!

It's Independent day of Indonesia today!! (August 17th, 2016)

Every August 17th, I always feel so touched. 

Ever since I got into PASKIBRA (it may means Rising Flag Squad in English),

I do feels, we must respect our national heroes, love our cultures, differences, and unite as one nation, love the home of me and other Indonesian, Republic of Indonesia.

Even I didn't get to be pick as PASKIBRAKA (National Squad I've mentioned earlier) , I got the chance to experience to rise national flag in Kecamatan Pondok Gede (district) with other PASKIBRA fellow. I felt so honoured. 

DIRGAHAYU INDONESIAKU!

MERDEKA!

What is Gojek?

Hi again~

From the last post, I've mentioned a ride called "Gojek". Pardon me, I haven't properly explain it to you. Today, I'll let you know.

First of all, I certainly sure you all already know how the Taxi does. In Indonesia, there's alternative transportation you can choose. Besides TransJakarta, Trains (Commuter Line), etc, there is Ojek.
Ojek is Motorbike version of Taxi. Due to heavy traffic and highly costs to buy a car, people used to call an ojek instead to help Indonesian with their transport needs. Near or maybe far. You might fine ojeks sitting on their bikes in the corner of the road, or sometimes we build a mini hut and place "Pangkalan Ojek (Means ojek base)" sign to help people know that they are ojek driver. They're waiting for customer to get them and you need to debate with them on how much fare to get to your destination. Once you have deal, one of them will take you. If the fare is too high, you can also ignore those ojeks and find another pangkalan ojek.

But then, Indonesian get too tired on debating with them. Especially, people in Jakarta. Since Jakarta is the busiest, heaviest jam of all countries, ojek drivers used to put very high fare.

Example, your destination is only 2-5 km away but there's jam.You are too tired to walk, so you call for ojek instead. Ojek drivers in the traffic area will tell a ridiculous fare. I'm personally pretty sick of those ojeks who take advantage of the traffic. In desperation for easy, fair ojek, comes Gojek.

So, what is Gojek ?

[From Official Gojek Site]
GO-JEK is a social enterprise that partners with a group of experienced and trustworthy ojek drivers to deliver a one-stop-shop convenience service for Indonesians. Our services include Transport, Instant Courier, GO-FOOD and Shopping.

Gojek is made by one of Indonesian successful entrepreneur and essentially an Uber, Ticketmaster, Homejoy, Instacart and more all mixed into one. Using smartphones, you can book a Gojek to do anything for you. You can book a Gojek to do your grocery shopping, cleaning, buying tickets, sending stuff, etc. However, the primary Gojek service is their Uber like service where you can book a Gojek to take your destination. 

Now, Gojek is not alone. There are Grab Bike, Uber Motor, Blu-Jek and etc. But Gojek still on top regarding the number of Gojek drivers. How much is the price? It depends on your needs and it will show up in the mobile app.

If you have more questions about Gojek, visit their Official site. 

That's enough from me now. Thank you for reading this post.

See you again on my next post~

xoxo

Sightseeing in Jakarta, Indonesia

Hello again~!

It's been a while since my last post of Ramadhan Month in Indonesia. And now, I'd like to help some traveler who decided or still choosing places to go to in Jakarta. It's true that Jakarta is the Capital City of Indonesia, but I bet you all must have known Bali first , then Indonesia. Am I right? Some people even think that Indonesia IS in Bali. Nope. Bali IS in Indonesia!

So, where you can go in the one of the most crowded and awful traffic country in the world?
I do personally think that Jakarta is the most awful traffic of all countries. But I do know that It depends on timing. If you go out on Indonesian Rush Hour (6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m and 4:30 p.m to 8:00 or 9:00 p.m), you'll doomed. Heavy traffic everywhere. Well, the morning traffic will super hectic from Bekasi, Depok, Bogor, Tangerang to Jakarta routes! But if you are from Jakarta going to Bekasi/Depok/Bogor/Bandung, you can a bit relax. It's all about the right timing and place you want to go.

I'll tell you places you can enjoy in Jakarta and tips to go there.

• Taman Mini Indonesia Indah 

(Or we called it TMII [ It pronounce like Tame without the "me" + M + ee + ee ] or maybe just Taman Mini)

[From Wikipedia]
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) or "Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park" (literally translated) is a culture-based recreational area located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. It has an area of about 250 acres (1.0 km²). The park is a synopsis of Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975) provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions with the collections of Indonesian architecture, clothing, dances and traditions are all depicted impeccably. Apart from that, there is a lake with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums, Keong Emas Imax cinema, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (Theater Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city.

So, what can I do in here? Taman Mini is full of Indonesian cultural things. From Traditional houses, clothes, souvenirs, to many various museums. I think It almost like Smithsonian but of course not that large and complex and It is just about Indonesia. You can visit mini replicate islands of Indonesia, Traditional Houses, Istana Anak (Children Castle) and many more. But the locals used to come here to just picnic or just to go 1-3 recreational spots.

Well, how can I go there? I strongly suggest you to rent a car or have Indonesian friend who have car to take you. Because Taman Mini is so wide. Yes you can walk/cycling in there if you want to. But, I do think, you need a car. There are some cars for rent too near Taman Mini, but I don't know much about it. And for those Pokemon GO player, you'll love this place because Taman Mini have sooooo many PokeStop.

Traditional House of West Sumatera

Istana Anak-anak (Children Castle)

Taman Mini from google maps

Address : Jl. Raya Taman Mini | East Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, INDONESIA

Information : (+62 21) 8779 2078 (Bahasa Indonesia)

Gate Open : Everyday, from 7:00 a.m to 10:00 p.m

Cost : Depends on how many houses/museums you go

Approximately from Rp 25,000 to Rp 300,000 or more (2 US$ to 23 US$)

Even if the gate open until night, but the operational hours of each houses/museum/etc are different. I Maybe around 6:00 p.m max. So make sure you come around 7:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. To reach Taman Mini, it is a bit crowded to go there but you are not following the traffic flow, so, yes you can go from early morning but seriously, get out of there before 5 p.m or prepare for the heavy traffic. Can you go to Taman Mini with Public Transportation? Sure. Just hope on TransJakarta, Pinang Ranti route, and drop at Taman Mini Garuda shelter, find Angkot to Taman Mini in front of Tamini Square. If you want to ask the local, try ask " How to get to Taman Mini? " "Bagaimana cara menuju Taman Mini?"

• Monumen Nasional (We shorten it to "MONAS")

[From Wikipedia]

The National Monument (Indonesian: Monumen Nasional, abbreviated Monas) is a 132 m (433 ft) tower in the centre of Merdeka Square, Central Jakarta, symbolizing the fight for Indonesia. It is the national monument of the Republic of Indonesia, built to commemorate the struggle for Indonesian independence.

Construction began in 1961 under the direction of President Soekarno. Monas was opened to the public in 1975. It is topped by a flame covered withgold foil. The monument and the museum are open daily from 08.00 until 15.00 Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7) throughout the week except for the last Monday of each month when the monument is closed.

Well, this is the Iconic symbol of Jakarta. Your journey in Jakarta is not complete if you didn't go to Monas. For more information about Monas, google up yourself please . :P . Don't worry about transportation. There are a lot of transportation you can choose. TransJakarta, Free TransJakarta, The City Tour, Gojek, Grab, Uber, etc.

• Kota Tua Jakarta

[From Wikipedia]

Kota Tua Jakarta ("Jakarta Old Town"), officially known as Kota Tua,^[1] is a neighborhood comprising the original downtown area of Jakarta,Indonesia. It is also known as Oud Batavia (Dutch "Old Batavia"), Benedenstad (Dutch "Lower City", contrasting it with Weltevreden, de Bovenstad("Upper City")), or Kota Lama (Indonesian "Old Town"). It spans 1.3 square kilometres within North Jakarta and West Jakarta (Kelurahan Pinangsia,Taman Sari and Kelurahan Roa Malaka, Tambora). The largely Chinese downtown area of Glodok is a part of Kota Tua.

If you want to avoid too crowded or too many people, definitely don't go on Weekends. Please don't forget to bring your UV sunglasses, a hat, lotion and a mini fan. Why? It's super hot there in the afternoon.  Almost the same as Monas, you can reach Kota Tua with various transportation.

Hutan Bakau, Pantai Indah Kapuk

(No Wikipedia reference)

This, personally, I have not go there yet. It just too far from my home. Jakarta do have this place! Hutan Bakau (Mangrove Forest), Pantai Indah Kapuk is you must go to if you are looking for refreshing, relax sightseeing. With 99,82 acres, 40% of this area are Mangrove forest. There are some huts you can rent too. I don't how much cost to visit there. But for renting the hut, I'm guessing it starts from Rp 300,000 (Around 23 US$). I've read it in some random blog, that, there are several restriction to photography or else. I'm sorry I can't provide much information about this gorgeous place. >,< Trully sorry

• MALLS!

Jakarta have so many malls you can shops to! But My recommended malls are :

Grand Indonesia

Plaza Indonesia

Lippo Kemang

Lippo Puri

Pondok Indah Mall 1 and 2

Mall Kelapa Gading

(For shopping import brand and locals)

For shopping like crazy (most locals go to these places), try :

Thamrin City

Tanah Abang

ITC Mangga Dua

ITC Cempaka Mas

Pusat Grosir Cililitan

Asemka

Okay, wherever you go, please avoid 4:30 p.m to 8:00 p.m. Remember the rush hour. If you want to travel until midnight, and do so (around 10:00 p.m or more). But of course, travel in midnight is not recommended. There are bad people show up in the midnight.

Well, see you on my next post~

(Online Survey) Harga Sewa Gedung

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ 

Hai hai~

Kali ini saya mau posting hasil telpon saya dan calon pasangan hidup saya (cielaaaah..) ke beberapa gedung yang kami lirik. Jika kalian mem-budget-kan harga sewa dibawah 20 juta, hindari lah gedung-gedung ini :

Harga Sewa Gedung 

(Ini saya nanya siang loh yaah. Kalo malam lebih 4-10 juta. Tambahin aja deh sama list dibawah ini.)

1. Balai Samudera - 50 Juta 

(Ini sedih loh serius.. saya naksir gedung ini, apalagi punya TNI-AL, berharap dapat harga khusus karena papi saya Purn. TNI-AL. Eeeh.. harga normal aja segitu, klo pun dapet diskon, paling ga lebih dari 25%. Hiks.. Which is harga sewa nya masih 38.5 juta. Nohok!)

2. Gedung Dhanapala - 40 juta 

(Pernah inget kalau wisuda angkatan diatas saya itu pada wisuda di gedung ini dan pada demen. Yaaah iseng aja sih nanya harga sewa, ternyata.... ga jadi deh.. hehee)

3. Balai Sudirman - 35 Juta

(Seneng aja karena luas, udah ngira juga sih pasti mahal harga sewanya.)

4. Grandballroom Pertamina Pusat - 35 Juta
(Demen banget gedung yang langit2nya tinggi.. keliatannya mewah.. tapi yaah ga sesuai budget :(..huhuuu)

5. Puri Adrhya Garini - 31 Juta 

(Saya ingetin lagi, ini harga sewa pada siang hari. Saya sebenernya pengen banget disini soalnya lokasi ga jauh dari rumah, strategis pulak. Tapi diskonannya hanya untuk sesama TNI-AU. Huft.. sama-sama TNI mah saling membantu laaah... bersama-sama membela NKRI kan...*mulaidrama*)

6. Gedung Granadi - 25 juta
(Lokasinya di daerah kuningan. Berkarpet dan high ceiling~ )

7. Gedung-Gedung Sasana yang ada TMII - Kurang lebih 20 juta keatas.

(Kalo gedung-gedung yang di dalam TMII, rata-rata 20 jutaan. Dan pikirkan lah parkiran untuk tamu2 juga. Kalo kalian sanggup bayarin semua parkiran tamu sih ga masalah.)

Untuk sejauh ini, kami baru nelpon segitu doang. Yaaah.. maklum lah.. sama-sama kerja dan di saat jam kerja ga boleh nelpon selain urusan kantor. Mau curi-curi waktu untuk nelpon pas jam kerja juga susah. Semoga postingan ini bisa membantu kalian berpikir ulang soal gedung-gedung di atas. (Ga ada maksud jahat loh yaah)

Sampai jumpa lagi di postingan selanjutnya. Semangat para capeng!!!!

وَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ 

(Online Survey) Gedung Graha Jalapuspita

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ 

Kali ini saya mau share hasil online survey yang saya lakukan ^^. Semoga dapat sedikit membantu kalian para capeng lainnya.. hehee

Graha Jalapuspita

Keren yah? betewe ini foto dari blog orang, klik link di bawah ini yah kalau mau langsung ke blog tersebut ^^

Klik ini!

Gedung Graha Jalapuspita ini gedung milik TNI-AL. Baru pertama kali tau gedung ini dari pasangan saya yang minta tolong survey-in gedung ini. Alhasil saya telepon lah, marketingnya. Berhubung saya sedang buru-buru waktu nelpon, saya hanya tanya harga sewa, tanggal yang saya inginkan masih kosong atau ga, dan minta Line/WA biar bisa nanya-nanya lebih. Pas ditelpon sih, mba marketingnya bilang harga sewa gedung sebesar 17 juta.

Setelah dikasih nomor WA, yaudah, saya hubungin via WA. Lumayan cepet respon nya, tapi pas sore-sore gitu rada lama dibalesnya, katanya lagi rapat. Minta pricelist/some kinda brochure gitu. Saya tanyakan juga, berhubung papi saya purn. TNI-AL juga, dapet diskonan ga ( kalo bisa dapet diskonan, why not? ). Katanya sih ada harga khusus. Tapi ga disebutin berapa.

Pas malamnya mba itu online lagi, dia kirimin saya brosur dan daftar rekanan catering.

Daftar rekanan catering-nya ada:

Alfabet, Daffa, Diamond, Kiki, Nirwana Indah, Puspita Sawargi, Wifa dan masih ada 22 rekanan catering lainnya.

Okay, dikarenakan saya baru tahu tentang gedung ini, saya searching lah di mbah gugel. Liat-liat review dari blog orang. Dan Yaaah, banyak review bagus. Ada yang harga sewa mahal, ada yang bilang sedang, ada yang bilang murah (Semua kembali kepada budget kalian). Dilihat dari fotonya sih, langit-langitnya tinggi (soalnya ada lantai 2 gitu dan kebuka, which I like), parkiran bisa nampung banyak, kapasitas orang bisa sampai 1500 orang.

cek blog ini yah, kalau mau liat poto-poto nya (maklum saya hanya online surveying, baru mau survey langsung weekend ini).

Menurut mami saya sih, (berhubung dulu mami aktif sebagai ibu-ibu jalasenastri) sepertinya dia masih ingat dengan tempat ini DAN tidak merekomendasikan gedung ini. Why? Karena aksesnya susah :| (soalnya menurut mami saya, kalo daerah benhill sering macet dan jalanan rada sempit tapi rame. Agak kebelakang jalannya kalau dari arah semanggi.). Tapi tetep, saya mau survey langsung dulu weekend ini. Kalau suka n pas dengan budget, why not?

Dan berikut kalau kalian udah ga sabar pengen survey sendiri, silahkan survey di :

Alamat :

 Jl. Gatot Subroto Kav. 101, RT 6/RW 3, 

Bendungan Hilir, Jakarta Pusat

4 Agustus 2016

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ 

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Hari ini, tanggal 4 Agustus 2016 adalah hari jadi saya dengan pasangan saya yang ke-5. Happy 5^th anniversary ^^. Dan hari ini pula, pasangan saya berniat untuk meminta ijin kepada papi saya yang berada di kampong namun sayangnya, ketika pasangan saya otw ke sana, papi saya pergi ke Lampung. (Maklum, ceritanya mau surprise ke papi saya :p) Yaudah deh, minta ijin sama abang saya aja dulu yang ada di kampung.

Dari kemarin-kemarin, kami sudah membicarakan mengenai pernikahan. Dan yang pertama ingin dicari tahu oleh pasangan saya adalah gedung pernikahan yang tidak terlalu mahal dan tanggal yang kami inginkan masih kosong alias belum di booking orang lain. Hehehee… Soalnya, kami ingin menikah pada tanggal 8 April 2017. Kenapa tanggal segitu? Karena tanggal jadian kami tanggal 4 agustus (48), kami ingin pernikahan kami tetap ada unsur 4 dan 8 nya, sehingga kami memilih 8 April 2017 (kalau nungguin 4 Agustus 2017 ngeri kelamaan..hehee..). Lalu, kenapa harus ada unsur 4 dan 8? Itu karna 4 mereprentasikan saya ( Lahir tanggal 4 September ) dan 8 mereprentasikan pasangan saya ( Lahir tanggal 8 Agustus ). Gituu…

Do’a kan kami, semoga persiapan pernikahan kami lancer dan direstui keluarga dan kerabat. Aamiiin..

Di postingan selanjutnya, saya akan mencoba posting hasil survey gedung yang saya lakukan.

Terima kasih sudah membaca tulisan curcol saya ini ^^.

Wedding Plan (Preparation)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Dengan niat baik, aku ingin mencoba menulis persiapan aku sebagai bride to-be / calon pengantin wanita dengan harapan dapat membantu calon pengantin wanita lainnya yang masih bingung dengan apa saja yang perlu disiapkan. Jujur, sebenarnya aku juga bingung. Oleh karena itu aku sering tanya-tanya ke teman-teman / saudara aku yang sudah menikah. 

Persiapan Pertama (walaupun belum ada omongan tanggal pernikahan atau sebagainya) adalah

BUAT DAFTAR UNDANGAN YANG INGIN KAMU UNDANG.

Daftar undangan ini, harus benar-benar teman atau kenalan kamu yang sering bertemu, agar kemungkinan mereka datang ke pernikahan anda tinggi. Kebanyakan buat daftarnya? tidak masalah. Nanti setelah kalian selesai membuat daftar, lihat lagi daftar kalian, dan perkirakan apakah mereka bisa datang atau tidak. Nanti kalian bisa hapus/coret yang menurut kalian ternyata kehadiran mereka tidak terlalu kalian harapkan.

Contoh :

Kamu tulis nama "A" di daftar kamu padahal kamu tahu bahwa si "A" sedang bekerja diluar negeri.

Kalau "A" memang teman dekat kamu, kemungkinan ia untuk pulang dan hadir pernikahan kamu cukup tinggi. Namun perlu dipertimbangkan juga, ongkos si "A" balik ke Indonesia pasti tinggi jika agak mendadak. Usahakan minimal 3 bulan sebelumnya sudah mengabari si "A".

[Kalau aku sih, aku buat di excel daftar undangannya, biar lebih enak nanti kalau mau ngedata yang lainnya.]

Persiapan Kedua adalah BUAT DAFTAR UNDANGAN YANG INGIN ORANG TUA UNDANG.

Ini agak pro & kontra juga sih. Ada yang berpendapat bahwa "pernikahan gw, yaa tamunya tamu-tamu gw lah" , ada juga yang berpendapat "pernikahan itu bukan hanya menikahkan kamu dengan pasangan kamu, namun keluarga kamu juga". Oleh karena itu, coba tanyakan kepada orang tua dan calon mertua kamu, kira-kira mereka mau undang siapa saja, berapa orang. Kalau kalian punya orang tua atau calon mertua yang mempunyai koneksi yang cukup luas, bisa jadi jumlah undangan kamu dengan jumlah undangan orang tua kalian kalah banyak, Hahahaa...Ini beneran ada loh yang seperti ini. (Aku seperti itu soalnya.. he hee..tapi gapapa, kalau resepsi kan semakin banyak orang datang, semakin banyak juga amplop yang masuk. he hee #salahfokus)

Persiapan Ketiga adalah SIAPKAN BUDGET.

Untuk kalian yang masih ga jelas persiapannya (belum tau apa-apa), coba deh cek blog-blog orang lain yang berisikan budget pernikahan atau kira2 pengeluaran pernikahan. I must say, kalian siapin aja dulu dana minimal 100 juta. Kenapa segitu ? baik kalian mau menyelenggarakan di rumah ataupun di gedung, 100 juta itu sudah angka standard pernikahan di Jakarta. Aku jelasin ya.. Katering-katering kan sudah banyak yang menyediakan paket pernikahan (yang mau ngirit, pilih paket pernikahannya yang sesuai kantong kalian yaa). Walaupun ada katering yang dapat menawarkan kalian paket pernikahan dibawah 100 juta, biasanya paket itu tidak termasuk undangan, souvenir, baju seragam panitia, baju kebaya dll. Kalian harus waspada dengan pengeluaran tidak terduga, makanya aku saranin sudah siapin at least 100 juta. Tapi jangan jadiin patokan juga yaa kalau budget pernikahan kalian harus 100 juta karena balik lagi kepada keinginan pernikahan kalian, keinginan keluarga dan pertimbangan lainnya. Yang penting, kamu rembukkin dulu dengan pasangan, kira-kira berapa budget yang harus kalian siapkan.

Diwaktu senggang, aku sering browsing catering apa yang bagus, venue pernikahannya juga dimana yang bagus.. Dan jujur, menurut aku hasil yang aku browsing ada kurang dengan apa yang aku ingin tahu. Memang bagusnya kita harus survey langsung (venue maupun catering) kalau kita mau tahu harga sewa gedung, harga paket pernikahan dan lain lain.

Hmm.. mungkin sampai disini dulu aku ngepost nya. Nanti aku lanjutin lagi yaa.. my journey as a bride to be. Semoga dapat memberikan sedikit pencerahan untuk calon pengantin lainnya.
