In a move that’s not only turning heads around the world, but will surely garner renewed interest in the fast food chain, McDonald’s locations in Hong Kong are now offering to hold wedding receptions. McDonald’s Wedding Packages include: a Baked Apple Pie Wedding Cake, party balloon dresses and children’s toys as party favors – and McDonald’s will be catering the event, of course. The events will feature adaptations to “traditional Chinese wedding games” such as the “french fry kiss” as pictured below.
A spokesperson has stated that McDonald’s sees this as a “business chance”, to provide those who may have had their first dates and proposals occur in the chain, the ability to hold their nuptials within a McDonald’s location. According to McDonald’s Hong Kong director of corporate communications and relations Helen Cheung, the chain has been receiving about “ten calls a month” to inquire about the services.
Some analysts, while skeptical, are saying that the weddings may become a hit, maybe mostly due to price. Traditional Chinese weddings are reportedly becoming a financial burden for many HK-newlyweds and this gives Hong Kong residents a ‘low-cost’ alternative.
