Hello everyone,
My fiancee (non-japanese) and I (also non-japanese) would like to get married in or around Kitakyushu (as this is where we are residing). Our families are coming for the weekend and we would be around 20 people. I would like some guidance on how we should proceed:
– What we were thinking is to sign the papers in cityhall with everyone (as this is custom where I'm from) to then go to a shrine/chapel preferably in kimino style for pictures and a small ceremony and to then go for a dinner with everyone. Is this feasible or should we sign the papers before hand and just have a small ceremony + dinner?
– As we are a large group it is not so easy to find a restaurant venue that might cater to this so would it be better to do it in a more bigger city like fukuoka or even Kyoto instead of KKJ. ( most of the family will be flying at Osaka first)
– As for the cost, I've been looking around at some venues in Nagoya or even hiroshima first to have an understanding of prices and most small weddings are starting at 800k or 1+mil yen. This would include a dinner and even overnight stay for some. Is this more like a wedding trap of some sort? Should it be cheaper?
– Wedding planner might be a help but as said, we would like it small and not too fancy.
I would appreciate some tips to go about this.
thankyou <3
