Everything Around the Ceremony

We arrange everything around the ceremony — the venue, the accommodation, the transport, the dining and all the guest logistics — for weddings held in Japan. We do not officiate or run the ceremony itself, though we can help you identify officiants and venues while you are still deciding. Most of our clients marry legally in their home country and hold the celebration here, and that is the arrangement this service is built around.

Twelve months or more for cherry blossom and autumn foliage dates, and six to twelve months outside those windows. The venue and the rooms set the deadline rather than the invitations — a full-property buyout or a configuration that houses thirty guests will close long before anything else does. Shorter timelines can be worked with, but the celebration is then built around what remains available.

Where the property permits it, yes. A full ryokan buyout gives a party of roughly eight to twenty the whole house for a night — the meal, the baths and the garden closed to everyone else. Restaurants can be taken for an evening on similar terms. Availability, conditions and lead times vary sharply between properties, and some decline buyouts entirely, so these are quoted individually rather than offered as a standard product.

From an intimate party of eight to around a hundred. The number decides the venue type: a full ryokan buyout suits roughly eight to twenty, a restaurant or private-house buyout ten to forty, and above about thirty a hotel with proper banquet capacity is usually the practical answer. We plan from the number outward rather than fitting a party into a fixed format.

Yes, and it is the substance of the work. We build and maintain the rooming list, meet every arrival regardless of hour or airport, arrange chauffeured transfers across the whole party, move luggage between properties, and hold a schedule that absorbs a delayed flight without anyone rebuilding the day. One named coordinator holds all of it from confirmation to the final departure.

No — legal marriage, registration and residency questions sit outside what a travel concierge should answer, and getting them wrong carries real consequences. Those questions belong with your embassy or a qualified adviser. What we arrange is the celebration itself and everything surrounding it.

Quoted per event. Party size, venue type, accommodation category, the number of days and any buyouts move the figure substantially, so we do not publish rates. A proposal follows your enquiry with the elements itemised, and the price you confirm is the price you pay.
