Why Wedding in Japan?
Religious rite in Japan is open to all believers. Japanese shrines with the Shinto rite and temples with the Buddhist rite are “open” which allows for all to create a beautiful and meaningful religious ceremony. Experience a modern or traditional Japanese ceremony, and your personal wedding planner will walk you through the significance of each custom.
Experience Traditional Kimono
Have you ever imagined wearing a traditional formal kimono?
In Japan it is a common that the bride (and sometimes the groom as well) changes from traditional to western attire just after the ceremony or even during the wedding reception.
A hallmark of Japanese culture, there are Kimonos of all styles to choose from. We work with our clients to help select the perfect one and facilitate making sure it fits just right! There is nothing like experiencing the age-old custom of the Kimono!
Many of our clients wear their western-style wedding dress to the reception so they can celebrate both customs and of course get a magnificent double photoshoot!

Common Japanese Wedding Customs
Japanese are very punctual so the wedding reception usually lasts exactly 2.5 hours. Some locations may allow extending this time (except weekends or holidays) by paying an extra fee. Here are the options for the Wedding reception:
Sometimes the wedding takes place in a Wedding Hall or Hotel because it offers the following efficiencies:
- maximum capacity – there are many indoor/outdoor spaces that only cater to a limited number of the guests
- accommodation – all guests can stay at the same hotel
- transportation – easy access, directly from your room to the venue!
Restaurant: Choose your favorite cuisine, from traditional Japanese to Western flavor. Some restaurants do not have a set time limit so you can extend your celebration.
Residence: An exclusive location to embellish with your personal style, residences usually only host one event per day. You can either have your ceremony inside the property or at another location.
