PARTY REPORTParty report from The Sodoh Higashiyama Kyoto

-Wedding Report-

The bride is the wedding planner
It is the place where the journey began.
Kyoto, a place full of memories for the groom from his childhood.
The concept the couple chose was "Enishi" (bond/connection).

I encountered something and gained something from it.
The preciousness of passing that on to someone else.

I have received so far
The overflowing love from your parents
I am truly grateful for the many encounters that seemed like coincidences but were ultimately destined.
To all our beloved guests
I want to "give back" through my wedding.

What these two cherished most was
Your beloved family and guests
A warm and friendly atmosphere where we can laugh and have fun together.

Rent out an entire historic private residence
It was as if I were invited into their home.
A supremely luxurious and laid-back day is about to begin.

- First Meet -

Before the guests arrive
A lush garden bathed in gentle light.

It can be conveyed without words.
A slight sense of excitement: "It's finally happening."

Step by step, I walk through the vast garden.
The bride's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.
A sense of happy tension permeates the air.

The moment their gazes met, what they felt was...
It's like the tension in your shoulders suddenly releases.
A reassuring smile, just like always.

A lively and fun party is about to begin.
Before such a wonderful moment
A pleasant start to the day.

- Welcome Time -

The reason you two were chosen is
"HIGASHIYAMA" is a private, independent building available for exclusive use.

Just the two of you and your important guests
This is a luxurious private space where you can relax and unwind.

In a homey atmosphere
With a welcome drink in hand
The guests' hearts will naturally begin to relax.

Smiles were spreading from all directions.
The space was filled with cheerful voices saying, "It's been a long time!"
It's just like the cozy living room of the two of you.

With anticipation building for the special day that is about to begin
Each of them reflects on their memories.
They had a wonderful time.

-Ceremony-

Arm in arm with my beloved father
The bride slowly walks down the aisle.

My father was always gently by my side.
"Thank you for raising me with such care."
"You'll be happy."

From the way they exchanged smiles in a friendly manner
Those feelings come through.

Each other's facial expressions and gestures
Because it's a space where you can feel it up close
Feelings are conveyed clearly without needing to be put into words.
It was a warm welcome.

After the heartwarming scene with family
What the two of you have prepared is
To express our gratitude to our valued guests
"Letter Ceremony"

"I want to express my gratitude for the love I have received so far."

Because it's a space where you can be close to your guests
Having the two of you in front of me
The message will be conveyed more directly.

The entire venue was filled with warm tears and smiles.
It's just like the two of you.
It turned out to be a very intimate ceremony.

- Garden Time -

After the ceremony, head to the lush garden right in front of the venue.
Under the blue sky with the five-story pagoda in the background
A pleasant free photo session is about to begin.

Amidst the gentle rhythms of live guitar and piano
People gathered around the couple with drinks in hand and took pictures.
Enjoy chatting --

A pleasant space where every corner is picturesque.
What the two of you wanted to achieve
A relaxed and pleasant time unfolds with the guests.

- Party Time -

After enjoying a pleasant time in the garden, it was finally time to head to the reception hall.

We were greeted with warm applause from everyone.
At a distance where you can hear the words "Congratulations"
The entrance scene was filled with smiles.

At the reception from this point forward
We deliberately avoided incorporating flashy effects.
A time for lots of conversation in a homey atmosphere

The main focus will be on photo opportunities and conversation.
Not only the two of you, but also your parents themselves
We can proceed to meet our guests.

Sharing drinks and raising a toast with smiles
Laughter echoed throughout the venue.
We will share memories with each of you.

In the second half of the time...
Dressed in casual attire that reflects their personalities.
Re-entering with a smile

The pleasant photo session continued.
As we proceed to the cake cutting event...
Guests will naturally gather around you both.

It's as if you've been invited to a home party.
It was a relaxed and comfortable moment.

- One More Cheers -

After the heartwarming and moving conclusion...
Rather than feeling somber
Let's all raise our glasses and toast!

The two of them went around to the tables
Clinking glasses with each guest
The entire venue is filled with the biggest smiles of the day.

Leaving a pleasant afterglow
Smiling in their own way, full of joy.
Watched over by my beloved guests
It was a departure filled with happiness.

- Closing -

"I talked a lot with all of you who are important to me."
I want to take lots of pictures.

I brought to life the ideal way of spending time that I had always envisioned.
A day at SODOH filled with smiles and warmth.

Without being bound by formal staging
The couple valued closeness with their guests above all else.

Sharing memories while holding a drink in hand
It feels as if you have been invited to their home.
A time enveloped in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
This will enrich your lives.
