Frequently Asked Questions [Official] Miyako Hotel Yokkaichi

Is having a wedding in a hotel expensive?

Not at all! All of our staff are on your side.
We will propose a wedding reception that suits your budget.
When comparing quotations, you may have a tendency to think that it is expensive, but when Miyako Hotel Yokkaichi gives you an estimate, due to we create commonly required items at an average price (*1), the quote may be a little higher than other places.
If you bring in quotes from other places, we will explain them to you.
Please double check that the quote includes the items you need.
It is highly unlikely that a hotel will have an incredibly large difference between the invoice and the estimated price.
(*1) We will not provide a quote with the lowest price unless requested.

I often hear about public ceremonies, but what do they involve?

If you would like to pledge your eternal love in front of everyone in attendance, this is the perfect ceremony format for you.
The couple read the wedding vows together, signed them, and exchanged rings.
Depending on your own ideas, you can create an original ceremony that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Public church weddings held within the reception venue are also popular.

Is it okay if I don't have a matchmaker?

Recently, there has been a significant increase in customers who are unable to hire a matchmaker.
There will be no problem during the proceedings of the wedding ceremony and reception, so please discuss this thoroughly with your parents and make a decision.
There is no need to worry, as the host may introduce the two of you, or you may introduce each other yourself.

I want to make a lot of different things on our own. But will there be surcharges?

There are many commercially available kits for printed materials such as invitations, seating charts, menus, and name tags, so some people even make them by hand.
However, creating one requires a lot more work and time than you might imagine, so you need to be prepared.
Many people fail and give up halfway through, so it's best to consult with a person in charge before purchasing a commercially available kit.
We also see people making their own welcome boards, bouquets, small gifts to hand out when guests leave, message cards, and ring pillows.
