Getting Married in Tokyo

Tokyo is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. Tokyo is the world's most populous metropolitan area, and yet somehow also one of its most navigable, orderly, and extraordinary. The depth of food culture (more Michelin stars than any other city), the contrast between ancient temples and futuristic technology, and the Japanese commitment to craft and quality make it endlessly fascinating.

Shinto shrine ceremonies in Tokyo are visually stunning. Legal marriage in Japan requires specific documents but is achievable. Many couples do both a Shinto ceremony and a US legal ceremony.

The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Tokyo destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.

We know what Tokyo requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting. Tokyo at cherry blossom time — Shinjuku Gyoen blanketed in pink, the city's normal chaos muted by the weight of something beautiful — is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
