◆A luxurious night wedding in the dreamlike former foreign settlement◆ The Oriental Room <May Report>

Wedding Party Report

I want to express my gratitude to my family and friends.

What the two of them valued most was not the time they spent as the main characters.

It was about laughing and enjoying the same time with all of you important people.

The cityscape changes its appearance from dusk to night.

The changing scenery as time passes is one of the unique charms of a night wedding that the couple chose.

We'd like to introduce you to a luxurious moment where you can enjoy different expressions throughout the day.

A long‑awaited special day in the former foreign settlement I’d long admired.

The reason the two of you chose THE ORIENT was your admiration for the very streetscape of Kobe's former foreign settlement.

The classical streets lined with historic buildings make this a special place that captivates me every time I visit.

An elegant hotel that nonetheless feels warm and welcoming, featuring a chapel flooded with natural light and a terrace surrounded by greenery.

"It was the ideal wedding venue, with a sophisticated yet warm atmosphere."

The thrill you felt the moment you first saw the chapel marked the beginning of your wedding day.

First Meet

The groom seeing his bride in her wedding dress for the first time.

The moment she turned around, she gave me a gentle smile that was a little shy.

The groom isn’t usually very expressive.

That's why her natural smile was what made the bride happiest of all.

I felt a renewed sense of gratitude through the wedding preparations.

To convey her feelings, the bride prepared a surprise letter.

"I realized once again how fortunate I am to have married this person."

A peaceful time for just the two of you before the wedding ceremony

The Story of the Bride's Styling

Wedding Dress：TREAT Original

The moment she first slipped it on, the bride felt her heart stir and thought, “This is it.”

The mother who came with her, and the coordinator in charge, all felt the same way.

A delicate design and soft silhouette that beautifully accentuates the décolletage.

Rather than adding embellishments, this dress enhances the inherent beauty of the bride herself.

Wearing a tiara she had longed for since childhood, she was dressed in an outfit befitting a classic hotel wedding.

Family Meet

The moment they came face to face with the parents waiting beyond the door, the sight was…

He told me that it remains vividly in his memory even now.

the mother's gentle words — the fathers' serene expressions as they gaze at the couple.

Touched by that gaze, the two realized once again how much love they had been surrounded by.

A welcome space created with guests.

In the welcome area where we greet our guests...

They decorated the space with photos from their pre-wedding photoshoot, creating a space that reflected their personalities.

On the pure white board were congratulatory messages from everyone.

At the reception, you can also enjoy taking instant photos, creating a pleasant atmosphere even before the party begins.

We hope that the time spent at the reception desk will also become a cherished part of your memories.

The blank canvas was gradually filled with guests’ well-wishes, creating a welcome space made just for the couple.

The final preparation ceremony with parents.

The groom will have a jacket ceremony.

The bride had her veil lowered. Alternatives: "The bride’s veil‑down" / "The veil‑down for the bride" / "The bride’s veil was lowered."

"You're beautiful." "I hope you'll be happy."

The image of the mother, smiling gently with tears in her eyes, is deeply etched in the bride's heart.

With the hopes and wishes entrusted to them by their parents in their hearts, the two of them take a new step in their lives.

Watched over by close guests

The tension that fills my chest until the moment the door opens

When the groom makes his entrance, smiles spontaneously spread throughout the venue.

"Just the groom's entrance brought laughter from the guests, and it warmed my heart to see how much he is loved by so many people."

Surrounded by that smile, the bride naturally relaxed.

With each step I take down the aisle, memories of my family who have lovingly raised me come flooding back to me.

From the altar, I could see tearful parents and friends smiling gently.

"I've been supported by so many people."

With gratitude for everyone in their hearts, the couple pledged their eternal love.

What the two of you felt when you left

"Everyone saw us off with smiles as we left, which made me even more excited about the wedding reception and today."

"The moment I saw the faces of our important guests, I felt so happy to be blessed, and I experienced an indescribable feeling of happiness."

THE ORIENTAL ROOM

A party space that combines sophistication and a sense of openness.

We want our guests to have a relaxing and comfortable stay.

With that in mind, they chose The Oriental Room.

The tables are spaced far apart, creating an open and relaxed atmosphere where conversations naturally flow with friends and relatives you haven't seen in a while.

The newly renovated venue features high ceilings and glittering chandeliers in sophisticated colors, creating a refined atmosphere befitting a hotel.

Flower Coordinate

"I want an elegant and classic hotel wedding."

What the two of them valued most was a simple yet sophisticated worldview.

I created an all-white arrangement centered on calla lilies, anthuriums, and baby’s breath.

The stylish high chairs and main table incorporate glass vases and mirrors, creating a sophisticated and clean impression.

The paper items are also unified in a simple, monochrome style.

On the back of each place card, a handwritten message for each guest was added.

Because it isn’t overly ornate, each sentiment comes through directly — hospitality that’s true to the couple.

Unforgettable scenery

The couple entered the reception hall to a round of enthusiastic applause and smiles from their guests.

The tension of the wedding ceremony gradually eases, and smiles naturally spread across the couple’s faces.

What's important is the time spent with each and every guest.

What the couple valued most was the time they could spend relaxing with their guests.

Don't get caught up in the idea that "it has to be done this way because it's a wedding."

I want this to be a day where I can have a conversation with each and every person and express my gratitude.

With that in mind, instead of filling the event with entertainment, they prepared plenty of time for guests to freely enjoy conversation.

Friends, family, and friends—people who don't usually interact—naturally enjoy conversations and smiles.

The scene that the two of them had envisioned unfolded throughout the venue.

The couple met through the groom’s childhood friend and a friend of the bride from her student days.

To the friend who acted as Cupid and brought you together — surprise them with a 'thanks bite'.

"Thank you for bringing us together."

As the cake was delivered with heartfelt sentiment, the venue was filled with warm applause.

The photo of the four of you standing together will remain a cherished treasure for you both, one that will never lose its charm.

Family Escort

Those chosen to escort the bride were her beloved younger sisters.

"I had always decided that if I were to get married, I would definitely want to walk down the aisle with my sisters."

The smiles of the three close sisters naturally brought smiles to the faces of their parents as well.

It was a heartwarming moment.

Recalling childhood memories

The groom chose his beloved younger sister to escort him during his outfit change.

The screen displays childhood photos, and the same pose is reproduced.

"I wanted to reflect on my upbringing and make my parents and relatives happy."

With smiles overflowing from their shyness, the two struck poses in perfect sync, eliciting laughter and applause from the audience.

The time the siblings walked side by side became an irreplaceable memory for their family.

A smile-filled re-entrance after a dress change

After changing outfits, we selected upbeat songs that everyone in the guests could enjoy.

"So that everyone can get more excited"

Just as they had hoped, the couple entered the venue with big smiles on their faces, accompanied by music.

The atmosphere becomes lively with the welcoming guests, and the venue is filled with a great sense of unity.

A lively, joy-inspiring re-entrance that overflowed with the couple’s unique charm.

The ever-changing scenery is also part of the hospitality.

The reason the couple chose a night wedding was that they could enjoy different moods/looks throughout the day.

During the wedding ceremony, soft natural light streams in, and in the bright and open chapel, you can exchange vows of eternal love.

During the wedding reception, the twilight gradually gave way to night.

The candlelight gently illuminates the venue, and as time passes, it transforms into an even more magnificent space.

Because it's a time when our guests can arrive at their leisure,

We were able to provide ample time for registration and conversation.

"It was a luxury to be able to capture both the daytime and nighttime scenery in photographs."

A private night wedding for just the two of you, surrounded by the beautiful night view of the hotel.

To conclude the shoot, we were also able to capture luxurious night photos with the streetscape of the former foreign settlement as a backdrop.

Dress episode from coordinator

Color Dress:TREAT Original

The gray dress, with its delicate glitter and shimmer, is lovely.

This dress was chosen for its beauty and memorable presence, rather than its cuteness.

The shoulder line is tailored in a feminine, classic style, creating a design that flatters the décolletage while remaining elegant. Neutral alternative: The shoulder line is tailored in a feminine, classic style, creating a design that flatters the neckline while remaining elegant.

Considering the sophisticated setting and the nature of a night party, she chose this dress that shines as if enveloped in light.

Letter to Parents

In the final moment, the parents were presented with letters of gratitude written by each of the couple.

"I was able to convey feelings that I usually couldn't express directly."

The groom carefully expresses his gratitude, word by word.

The bride, too, reminisced about her memories with her family and sincerely conveyed her feelings to her parents.

A Surprise for the Bride

At the end of the party, the groom surprised the bride.

A memorable song suddenly started playing.

To the surprised bride, he said, "I realized once again that I want to cherish this person."

The groom expresses his feelings through tears.

The bride accepts those words.

I received a bouquet of roses, each bloom imbued with the giver’s feelings.

Giving shape to the thank-yous we’ve received

The gift we gave to the parents was a commemorative item that replicated the baby's weight on the day of birth.

The weight I feel in my arms gently reminds me of the day I first held my child in my arms.

With feelings of "Thank you" and "I look forward to your continued support."

It was an irreplaceable moment that will be deeply etched in the hearts of your family.

Reasons why I chose THE ORIENT

The refined atmosphere of a classic hotel

Beautifully presented dishes and heartfelt hospitality

The staff who stood by the couple’s wishes and helped create their day with them.

"They were very flexible in accommodating what we wanted to do, and it was a wedding venue we could truly trust."

We received comments from our valued guests such as, "The venue was wonderful," and "The food was truly delicious."

We received wonderful feedback such as, "The staff's attentiveness was fantastic."

May this be an unforgettable day for both of you and your guests.

What the couple felt after their wedding ceremony

"As we prepared, we got to know each other's families, friends, and our respective journeys."

I once again feel the importance of those around me who have looked after me, and I want us to get to know one another more deeply.

This has become an irreplaceable period that I cherish and love more than ever before.

There was a lot to deal with in the preparations, but I’d love to have the wedding all over again.

I’m really glad we had our wedding.

I believe that, along with expressing gratitude to family and friends, the bond between the two of us has deepened.

Of course, we were able to see the happy faces of our beloved family members and everyone who came.

"The blessings I received have become my greatest treasure."

What the couple wants to tell those who are about to get married

"Even with guests of a wide range of ages, the fact that we were able to hold our wedding here, even after all these years, is something I'm proud of."

You can have a truly wonderful hotel wedding that everyone will rave about and that you'll be proud of for the rest of your life.

I think fewer people are having wedding ceremonies these days.

This will truly become a memory for a lifetime, so to begin with, try to mutually respect each other’s feelings.

Please talk a lot, have fun, and proceed with the preparations.

"If you proceed with the belief that your feelings as a couple will lead to smiles on your guests' faces, I think the emotional impact on the day will be even greater."
