2016.01.03 published
If you're thinking of having a wedding outside of a traditional venue, where would be nice? The top choice is "aquarium"…♡
In a survey asking where to have a "wedding that reflects our unique style," the aquarium proudly claimed the number one spot! Many couples want to tie the knot at an aquarium because it holds sentimental value as a "memorable place," whether it was where they had their first date or a popular dating spot. ♩
Having a wedding in a "memorable place" is wonderful, isn’t it…♡
The charm of aquarium weddings is abundant*
The allure of aquarium weddings lies in the fact that couples can celebrate their union in a fantastical space reminiscent of being underwater. Not only the bride and groom, but the guests are also drawn into a dreamy world like the bottom of the ocean in The Little Mermaid…♡
Today, we will introduce four aquariums in the Tokyo metropolitan area that can make the dream of “wanting to have a wedding at an aquarium” come true! ♡
【Aquarium Wedding】 Aquarium ①: *Sunshine Aquarium* in Tokyo
*Sunshine Aquarium* is an aquarium located in Ikebukuro, and its appealing location is part of its charm. It's hard to believe you can have an otherworldly wedding that feels like being at the bottom of the ocean in the middle of a bustling metropolis! ♡
After holding the ceremony by renting out the aquarium, couples can then have their reception at the *Sky Restaurant* on the 60th floor, through a plan called "Sky Bridal," or they can reserve the *Sunshine Aquarium* for a party plan after business hours, which is available during the autumn and winter seasons. ♡
