The music from Ghibli films, which everyone has likely seen at least once, will surely transform your reception or after-party into an emotional and heartwarming space.

【Welcome】 Spirited Away / Always With Me - Piano Version

The welcome music is played as the guests enter the venue before the couple arrives at the reception. For the welcome, I recommend "Always With Me" from Spirited Away. The gentle piano melody will help relax the guests ♡ It feels like the perfect way for them to enjoy their time before the couple makes their entrance.

【Entrance】 Whisper of the Heart / Country Road

The entrance music is a cover version of "Country Road" from Whisper of the Heart. It changes its mood around 30 seconds in, creating a festive atmosphere, making it perfect to open the doors at this moment. The feeling that the song starts as you begin to walk is just right for the entrance ♡

【Toast】 The Wind Rises / Plane Trees - Q;indivi Version

For the toast, how about the cover of "Plane Trees" from The Wind Rises by Q;indivi, which has many popular wedding songs? The transparent voice and fluffy, bright melody elevate the toast scene even more ♡

【Conversation】 Kiki's Delivery Service / A Town with an Ocean View - Jazz Version

After the excitement of the toast, let’s shift the atmosphere with the jazz version of "A Town with an Ocean View" from Kiki's Delivery Service. It marks the stylish start of the reception ◎

【Dress Change and Exit】 Kiki's Delivery Service / If You Are Wrapped in Kindness

For the dress change, I recommend "If You Are Wrapped in Kindness" sung by Yumi Matsutoya from Kiki's Delivery Service. It’s common to ask someone to escort during the retreat for a dress change. This song allows you to feel enveloped by the kindness of a loved one ♡

【Profile Movie】 The Cat Returns / Like the Wind

For the profile movie, how about "Like the Wind" from The Cat Returns for a stylish atmosphere? It’s a wonderful song that brings back vivid memories of youth ♡

【Entrance After Dress Change】 The Secret World of Arrietty / Arrietty's Song

For the entrance after the dress change, what do you think about "Arrietty's Song" from The Secret World of Arrietty for a unique atmosphere? This distinctive song is sure to grab everyone's attention ◎ It's also recommended for entrances in traditional attire.

【Children's Bouquet】 My Neighbor Totoro / The Walk

For the children's bouquet presentation, let’s use "The Walk" from My Neighbor Totoro for an energetic vibe ♩ Since it’s a song everyone knows, it would definitely be fun if they could come forward to the music with hand claps!

【Bouquet and Gift Presentation】 Whisper of the Heart / Country Road

For the climax of the reception, the bouquet and gift presentation is well-suited for "Country Road" from Whisper of the Heart. While I recommended "Country Road" for the entrance, this version feels very different. How about choosing the song to express, "Thank you for everything until now. From now on, we will walk together."?

Create a Wonderful Wedding with Ghibli’s Famous Songs＊

How was that? Ghibli songs range from well-known tracks to slightly more obscure ones ◎ All of them leave a lasting impression with their unique atmosphere, which is neither too overpowering nor easily forgotten. I hope you use Ghibli’s music to create a wonderful wedding celebration!
