Priya&Marcus

We got engaged on a Tuesday, told nobody for a week, then told everybody at once. Now there is a room booked in Senopati and a bar open until eleven — the only thing missing is you.

RSVP The details

“We told nobody for a week. It was the best week.”

— Priya

02The story so far

Seven years, and a question asked badly.

2019
A queue for bad coffee
Same office block, same terrible ground-floor espresso, eleven minutes of queue every morning. It took four months before either of us said anything beyond a nod.
2023
One apartment, two opinions
We moved in together and discovered we agree on everything except lighting, which we have now argued about for three years and counting. The overhead light stays off.
2026
A Tuesday, of all days
No view, no photographer, no plan. Just a question in the kitchen at half past nine on a weeknight, and an answer before it was finished.

03The details

One room, one night, everything you need.

Open in Maps

Valet and self-parking in the Menara Kirana basement, levels B1–B3.
Take the north lobby lifts. Level 9 is the only stop that opens onto the studio.
The studio is concrete and glass and the bar runs late, so wear shoes you can stand in. Amber is ours for the night — everything else is fair game.

04Run of the night

How the evening goes.

Nothing here is compulsory. Arrive when you arrive, leave when you like — the only fixed point is the toast at eight.

18:30
01Doors
Lift to level nine, name at the desk, drink in hand within a minute. Come early if you want the good seats by the window.
20:00
02The toast
Both fathers, kept short under threat. Fifteen minutes, then we never mention speeches again.
20:30
03Supper
Standing plates from the kitchen at the back — no seating chart, no courses, no waiting for your table to be called.
21:30
04The floor opens
A friend of Marcus's is playing records until close. There is no first dance and nobody is going to make you do one.
23:00
05Last call
Bar closes, lights come up. Cars can be called from the north lobby, and there is a very good noodle place two doors down.
