Birthday in a regular restaurant? Okay. But a birthday with a view of Bukit Rhema and Mount Merbabu in the background? That’s a different story. Kedai Bukit Rhema provides private event packages — from table decoration to custom cakes, everything can be arranged.
Why the Borobudur Area is the Choice for Private Events?
Choosing a location for a private event is indeed tricky. You definitely want something memorable, easy to reach, but still has a “wow” value. Well, the Borobudur area in Magelang Regency, Central Java, has all of that. More than just a tourist destination, this area holds great potential as a backdrop for your special event.
Stunning Natural Setting, Easy Access, and Magical Atmosphere
The Borobudur area is blessed with extraordinary natural beauty. You will find vast expanses of green rice fields, flanked by the majestic Menoreh Hills that seem to embrace them. This view is not just a backdrop, but also part of the experience that you and your guests will remember. Imagine your event photos with an authentic, lush rural nuance, blended with the elegance of authentic nature.
Even though it feels far from the crowds, access to this area is very easy. Kedai Bukit Rhema itself is only about 2.5 km from Borobudur Temple, which means you only need a 5-7 minute drive by car, motorbike, or even VW Safari. This makes it easy for guests from out of town who might want to also visit Borobudur Temple, Punthuk Setumbu, or Gereja Ayam. The availability of infrastructure such as good roads and various accommodation choices around Borobudur, including Balkondes Karangrejo and Svargabumi, makes this area a very practical yet exotic choice.
Plus, there is a kind of magical atmosphere that envelops Borobudur. Whether it’s because of the strong historical footprint, or because of the soul-soothing tranquility of nature, there is positive energy that makes every moment feel deeper and more meaningful. This atmosphere is perfect for events that emphasize intimacy and warmth, such as wedding anniversaries or romantic proposals. You can feel a different tranquility, far from the noise of the city, and let nature join in celebrating your happiness.
Types of Private Events Suitable in Borobudur
The Borobudur area and Kedai Bukit Rhema offer flexibility for various types of private events. From intimate personal celebrations to large family gatherings, everything can be organized with a memorable unique touch.
Adult Birthdays (21, 30, 40, 50 Years Old)
Celebrating a birthday in Borobudur, especially at Kedai Bukit Rhema, can be a different experience. Forget parties in regular restaurants or cafes. Here, you can celebrate turning 21, 30, 40, or 50 years old with a more relaxed, intimate, and aesthetic atmosphere. Imagine blowing out candles against a backdrop of lush rice fields and the Menoreh Hills. This is the perfect choice if you want to Rent an Outdoor Venue in Borobudur with a different vibe.
Many guests choose the surprise party concept here, where the “target to be surprised” is brought for another reason, then surprised by friends and family who have already gathered. Surprise moments like this will be far more memorable with the enchanting natural scenery of Borobudur as the background.

Decoration Options (Bring Your Own or Via Vendor)
For decoration matters, we give you full freedom. You are allowed to bring and set up your own decorations according to your theme and wishes. This is a great option if you have your own creative ideas or want to save costs by doing the decorations independently.
However, if you prefer practicality and want professional results, we can also help coordinate via local decoration vendors that we can recommend. These vendors are used to working in the Kedai Bukit Rhema area and know how to maximize the beauty of our location.
There are a few important things regarding decorations that you need to pay attention to:
- For balloon decorations and backdrops, they must be installed after the area is cleared of regular guests. This is to ensure the comfort of all visitors and the smooth operation of the cafe.
- Regarding birthday cakes, Kedai Bukit Rhema does not provide birthday cakes. You can bring your own from outside or order from a local bakery in Magelang. Our staff will gladly help prepare an area for cake cutting.
With this flexibility, you can realize your dream private event with a unique personal touch.
Estimated Cost of Private Events
Although we don’t have a specific minimum spend for private events, we understand you definitely want to have a cost estimate. For a comfortable private event with a guest count of around 20-30 people, the estimated total cost you need to prepare is around Rp 1.5 million to Rp 3 million. This estimate already includes a delicious food and snack package.
Keep in mind that this is an initial estimate. The final cost will heavily depend on the exact number of guests, the catering menu choices you take, and whether there are additions such as decorations from external vendors or other special needs. With catering packages starting from Rp 65,000/pax for a complete buffet menu, you can easily calculate an initial estimate according to the number of attending guests. Remember, there is no separate venue rental fee, so you only need to focus on catering costs and additional decorations if any.

Tips for Throwing a Surprise Party in Borobudur
A surprise party is always a thrilling moment full of laughter. Especially if it’s done in a location as beautiful as Borobudur. To ensure your surprise works perfectly at Kedai Bukit Rhema, here are some tips you can follow:
- Bring the “Target to be Surprised” for Another Reason: This is the main key to a surprise party. Invite the ‘target to be surprised’ to Kedai Bukit Rhema with a convincing reason. For example, you could invite them for a relaxing lunch after touring Borobudur Temple, or invite them to drop by for a coffee after visiting Gereja Ayam or Punthuk Setumbu. You can also create a 2 Days 1 Night Borobudur Itinerary where one of the activities is eating at Kedai Bukit Rhema as part of the travel plan.
- Coordinate the Entry Time with Staff: Make sure all guests have gathered and are ready in the area you booked before the ‘target to be surprised’ arrives. Coordinate the arrival time of the ‘target to be surprised’ with Kedai Bukit Rhema staff via WhatsApp. They will help ensure the entrance or certain areas can be arranged so your surprise goes smoothly.
- Prepare a Distraction Team: Ask a few friends or family to distract the ‘target to be surprised’ when approaching the venue. This could be by asking them to look at the view, or asking for directions to the toilet, while the other guests get ready.
- Take Advantage of the Location’s Beauty: The view of the rice fields and the Menoreh Hills is already a beautiful natural decoration. You can add a little touch like balloons or a small banner in a hidden area that will only be seen when the ‘target to be surprised’ enters.
- Ensure All Guests Arrive on Time: This is crucial. Nothing ruins a surprise more than some guests still being late. Tell your guests to arrive earlier than the arrival time of the ‘target to be surprised’.
- Prepare the Birthday Cake & Gifts: Remember, Kedai Bukit Rhema does not provide a cake. Make sure the cake is already at the location and ready to be brought out at the right moment. Our staff can help prepare it in a safe area.
With careful planning and help from the Kedai Bukit Rhema team, a surprise party in Borobudur will surely be a memorable moment for your loved one.
