A Wish for the Atmosphere of a Sacred Cathedral ♡

In sickness and in health... A sacred wedding ceremony where we vow to be by each other's side for the rest of our lives.

The moment the veil is lowered, the moment we take our first step down the aisle, the moment of the vow kiss... every moment of this Shinto-style ceremony in the chapel is a series of emotional experiences that will become an unforgettable treasure of a lifetime.*

To create the best memories, I want to pledge my love in a sacred and special chapel where everyone's feelings are involved, and tears naturally well up.

This means I want to avoid chapels with low ceilings, simple decor, or ones that are too cramped for our number of guests as much as possible.

The ideal chapel would be a classical church abroad♡ A chapel with a very high ceiling, stylish yet solemn, furnished with antique items, invites guests into a dreamlike wedding world.

In this article, I will introduce some special chapels to Kansai brides-to-be who dream of such a wedding atmosphere.*

☑ A high ceiling like a European church

☑ Sparkling stained glass

☑ A long aisle

If you're a bride who values these features, you will surely regret choosing a venue without visiting this chapel.

I gathered chapels that make you exclaim "Wow!" just by stepping inside.♡

[This is the place for Osaka brides!] Osaka St. Bath Church

The first chapel I introduce is ‘Osaka St. Bath Church’ located in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.

This historical church, built with furnishings from a real church in 18th century London, is renowned for its ability to host truly memorable ceremonies.

The stained glass is made using raw stones like ruby and sapphire, and it is breathtaking. It has been created using a method that cannot be reproduced today, making it highly valuable historically and artistically.

Many wedding chapels have imitation stained glass, so seeing stained glass made from real gemstones is genuinely rare. It suits brides who seek authenticity.

The deep red aisle, wooden doors and chairs, a magnificent pipe organ, and the candles draped over the chairs all exude an antique feel, making you feel like you have stepped into the world of a story.

Many brides who have experienced this venue have received compliments from guests, saying, “This chapel was the most beautiful one I’ve attended.”

Moreover, 'Osaka St. Bath Church' pays particular attention to the music that enhances the mood of the ceremony.

When the chapel doors open, the elegant sounds of a large pipe organ and a violin begin to play softly.♡

This pipe organ has been cherished in England for over 200 years as an antique.

It is incredibly rare to have a chapel with a grand pipe organ, and being able to have a wedding ceremony while listening to the sounds that have flowed in a genuine European church is simply too wonderful.*

The music resonates throughout every corner of the cathedral, creating a sacred atmosphere that will be a lifelong memory.

[This is the place for Kobe brides!] Kobes St. Morgan Church

Next, I will introduce ‘Kobe St. Morgan Church’ located in the Kobe Old Foreign Settlement (Motomachi, Sannomiya).

This chapel features colorful and vibrant stained glass, sacred white walls, and an astonishingly high ceiling.

The stained glass, illuminated by natural light, is Royal stained glass that flourished in Europe in the 19th century.

It is authentic stained glass created by a renowned workshop that worked on stained glass for many churches in Paris and Rome.

The ceiling height of 12.8 meters is awe-inspiring＊ A chapel with this height is extremely rare, being about three stories high! An antique chandelier illuminates the chapel from above.

Moreover, the deep red aisle extends a stunning 25 meters. The typical length of an aisle is around 10m, making this 2.5 times longer!＊

The high ceiling, picture-like gem-stained glass, and the deep red aisle that is twice the usual length create a captivating scene like something out of a foreign movie…!

Its classical exterior, a standout amid the fashionable streets of Sannomiya, is also popular. At night, the entire church is beautifully illuminated...♡

It's guaranteed that you will capture romantic wedding photos during your photo shoot.

Even before stepping into the venue, guests will feel their excitement heightening, thinking, "I've been invited to an incredible wedding...!"

[This is the place for Kyoto brides!] Kyoto St. Andrews Church

Finally, I will introduce ‘Kyoto St. Andrews Church’ located in Sanjo Gokomachi, Kyoto.

This chapel features warm wood-themed interiors and large stained glass windows that let in dazzling light.♡

This stained glass is inherited from St. Andrews Church located in Sheffield, England, and is a historical furnishing cherished for over 200 years.

The light coming through real gemstones sparkles regardless of the weather, illuminating the bride at the altar.

Brides who visited only chapels with stained glass have reportedly said, "The stained glass here was exceptionally beautiful."

Moreover, the long aisle that leads to the altar and its stairs are important points. Thanks to the steps, long train wedding dresses and veils look spectacular.

Not only that, guests seated at the back can fully see the newlyweds. There will be no sad situations like, "I could only see the upper half of the newlyweds because the heads of the people in front were blocking my view."♡

The venue allows every guest to fully appreciate the most beautiful bride in the world.＊
