Tokyo, Japan

For wedding planners in Tokyo

From hotel chapels in Shinjuku to ryokan-style retreats, Tokyo events balance traditional ceremony with high-energy receptions.

Tokyo weddings and corporate events run on precise programmes. Short ceremony blocks and dense reception timelines leave little room for explaining an app install — a QR on the printed timeline works during the first pause.

Hotel chapels, garden ceremonies, and banquet halls often restrict large props. Guest phones cover reaction shots and table candids without fighting venue rules.

Hosts typically think in JPY. Confirm guest-cap tiers before printing programmes so the free-vs-paid decision is settled early.

  • Garden ceremonies at Meiji Jingu Gaien
  • Ginza event halls
  • Ryokan retreats outside the city
