Affordable and Romantic: Don't Miss Out on the Benefits of a Night Wedding!

2018.01.11 published

What is a Night Wedding Really Like?

A wedding that starts its reception between 4 PM and 5 PM is called a Night Wedding. With the ceremony beginning at dusk and the reception starting after sunset, it is held during the latest time slot of the day at wedding venues.

While early start time plans are popular to consider guests' return times,

there are actually many benefits to having a Night Wedding. Once you learn about them, you'll want a Night Wedding for yourself; there are so many wonderful charms! ♡

Before deciding on the wedding start time, let us introduce you to the joys of a Night Wedding ♩

Charm of Night Weddings ① A classy and stylish wedding

The biggest charm of a Night Wedding is, of course, the atmosphere ♡

At a ceremony held in a garden or a chapel with windows, you can enjoy the changing colors of the sky as it gradually darkens, painted in hues of crimson at dusk.

After sunset, the gentle glow of candles and illuminations lights up the venue, creating a romantic ambiance ♡

Guests will be enchanted by the unique lighting decorations specific to Night Weddings.

A vibrant fireworks display is another specialty of Night Weddings. Instead of a flower shower, there's a "fireworks shower"! Guests hold sparklers to celebrate the newlyweds as they walk down the aisle. While this is common in overseas weddings, it is quite rare in Japan ♡

Additionally, you can incorporate novel light-themed performances, such as lighting up a fountain during the couple's re-entry from the garden or setting off fireworks, adding to the charm ♩

Charm of Night Weddings ② No need for an after-party

A Night Wedding takes place from evening to night. Depending on when the ceremony starts, it is almost always close to 9 PM by the time all guests have been sent off.

Many newlyweds hold an after-party following the wedding reception, but if the Night Wedding starts late, most couples do not have an after-party.

This allows the couple to return home or to a hotel to savor the moment together or spend time freely with a special close group of friends ♡

Since the reception ends late, there are no complaints from guests asking, "Isn't there going to be an after-party?" On the contrary, many guests leave feeling satisfied after enjoying drinks in the pleasant atmosphere of the Night Wedding ♡

If brides are pondering whether to hold an after-party due to budget or guest count, opting for a cozy Night Party could allow them to enjoy the best of both the reception and the after-party ♡

Charm of Night Weddings ③ Unique and memorable

Guests who have attended a Night Wedding before might not be that numerous. I have attended over 10 weddings, but most have been morning or early afternoon ceremonies held during the day.

If guests are coming from far away or if there are many with children, a Night Wedding that goes on late at night usually falls off the list of options.

Thus, many guests attending a Night Wedding for the first time might find the romantic atmosphere and freshness quite moving ♡

If most guests live nearby and do not have children yet, a Night Wedding is highly recommended! ♡

Charm of Night Weddings ④ Reasonably priced

Finally, here’s a little secret... As mentioned earlier, many couples avoid Night Weddings due to their guests' situations.

Therefore, Night Weddings scheduled in the evening tend to have more reasonable pricing associated with them.

Popular dates in the best wedding seasons of spring and autumn or weekends and holidays that fill up more than a year in advance may still be available for evening slots.

Some venues also offer special Night Wedding packages, so focusing your search for venues on Night Weddings could be a good strategy! ♡
