No dia do casamento, enviaremos também um intérprete ao local para o apoiar no local.
Em que zonas do Japão e quantas opções de capela estão disponíveis?
A partir do início de 2026, oferecemos casamentos em três áreas: Okinawa, Hokkaido e Quioto, com cerca de 15 opções de capelas disponíveis.
Estamos também a expandir continuamente os nossos locais de parceria.

What is the general format and content of weddings in Japan?
Details vary depending on the venue, but generally:
Podem escolher entre uma cerimónia de estilo cristão ou uma cerimónia civil não religiosa.
A ceremony includes:
Minister/Officiant, live musicians (organ + harp/trumpet), choir/singer,
coordenador e intérprete no local.
Ao contrário dos casamentos ocidentais, o fluxo da cerimónia é fixado de acordo com o manual do local.
Freedom is limited, but in exchange, the couple can leave everything to the staff,
tornando a preparação muito mais fácil e sem stress.
Can I bring my own wedding dress?
Sim - recomendamos vivamente que traga o seu vestido.
O aluguer de vestidos no Japão é extremamente caro e os tamanhos para casais estrangeiros são limitados.
Não há taxa de rolha para vestidos e oferecemos serviço de prensagem/vapor para as suas peças de vestuário.
Can I bring my own photographer?
Isto depende do local, mas na maioria dos casos não é permitido.
Podemos analisá-lo durante a reunião.
Can I bring my own master of ceremonies (MC)?
Não, os MC externos não podem ser contratados.
Is it possible to rent only the chapel space?
Não, o aluguer apenas da capela não está disponível.
Can we request specific songs to be played during the ceremony?
Isto também depende do local do evento, mas na maioria dos casos não é permitido.
Because Japan has strict copyright procedures, requesting specific songs requires:
・Copyright usage confirmation
・Permission checks for the musicians
・Additional copyright fees
・Administrative processing
Please understand that these costs and extra procedures must be borne by the customer.
Will there be other couples having weddings on the same day?
Most venues host 6–8 weddings per day.
However, each time slot is reserved for one couple only,
so you will not encounter other couples or guests.
The operations are highly systematic, ensuring full privacy.
We would like to have an outdoor party. Is that possible?
Outdoor parties are available only at a few limited venues,
but we can absolutely arrange it depending on the location.
Please inquire for details.
How many guests can we invite?
This varies by venue:
- Small venues: 8 guests
- Large venues: up to ~70 guests
Most chapels accommodate 30–40 guests on average.
We would like to host a second party until around midnight (12 AM–1 AM).
All venues must close by 22:00,
so late-night parties are not allowed.
However:
If you schedule the main ceremony and party earlier,
we can arrange a second party (about 3 hours) afterward.
We have extensive experience hosting welcome parties, ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and after-parties, so feel free to consult with us.
How many days before the wedding should we arrive in Japan?
Because some venues require a meeting the day before the wedding,
and to allow recovery from jet lag for long-distance travelers,
we recommend arriving 2 days before the wedding.
Example schedule:
Day 1 – Arrive in Japan / hotel check-in
Day 2 – Meeting at venue, sightseeing
Day 3 – Wedding & party
Day 4 – Sightseeing
Day 5 – Return home
What do couples need to do before the wedding day?
- Prepare the guest list and communicate with guests
- Complete the hair & makeup request sheet
- Prepare attire
(dress & veil, undergarments, shoes, tuxedo, shirt, tie, shoes) - Purchase wedding rings
- Arrange accommodation (we can assist if needed)
- Select menu, flowers, décor, and optional items
What should we bring with us to Japan for the wedding?
- Wedding attire
- Personal vows
(paper looks much better in photos than reading from a phone) - Wedding rings
- Usual travel essentials
- Everything else will be prepared by the venue.
