What about wedding gifts?
We'd like to request that you not bring any physical gifts since we won't be able to take them back to our home in Japan and cherish them the way we would like to. Thank you for your love and blessings.
Are pets allowed?
While we do love them, pets are unfortunately not allowed at both venues - the chapel as well as the reception venue. Please accept our regrets that we cannot share the celebration with pets as well
Should we wear masks?
For the safety of all our guests and due to international travel restrictions, we request that masks be worn at all times at the chapel and at all times except when eating or drinking at the reception venue.
Thank you for your kind consideration of our request and thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a safe wedding celebration for all of us.
