EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a truthful and heartfelt review of Wedding Pro Corp. I had the absolute privilege of having Daniel Arakelian and his wife, Makiko, facilitate my wedding, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first meeting, Daniel’s professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine honesty stood out. He approached every aspect of the planning process with clarity, intention, and care, ensuring that our vision was not only understood but beautifully brought to life. We chose to have a traditional Japanese Shinto ceremony, which added a profound sense of cultural depth, spirituality, and beauty to our special day. Though it was an intimate ceremony with no guests, Daniel and Makiko made it feel incredibly meaningful and complete. They guided us through each ritual with such grace and thoughtfulness, ensuring that we fully understood and appreciated the significance of every moment. Daniel also made sure that the legal process was flawlessly executed. Because we are from the United States, it was essential that all of our marriage paperwork was properly prepared and accurately translated to ensure its validity both in Japan and back home. Daniel handled this entire process seamlessly, giving us complete peace of mind that every legal detail was taken care of. Makiko’s cultural knowledge and calming presence enriched the entire experience, while Daniel’s coordination skills and legal expertise ensured everything unfolded smoothly. Together, they created an atmosphere that was elegant, intentional, and deeply sacred, allowing us to be fully present and immersed in the moment. What truly set them apart was their sincerity and dedication. It never felt transactional; it felt as though they genuinely cared about creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. Thanks to Daniel, Makiko, and the entire Wedding Pro Corp. team, our wedding day exceeded every expectation , a perfect blend of tradition, love, and meticulous planning.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a wonderful experience renewing our vows in Kyoto with this amazing team — even during Golden Week! Despite the crowds everywhere in the city, they organized a truly intimate ceremony for us in a peaceful, secluded shrine. It felt like we had Kyoto all to ourselves for a moment. From start to finish, everything was perfectly handled. The team was kind, patient, and thoughtful, especially with our young kids. We really felt taken care of. This day made our love even stronger, and we now feel forever connected to Kyoto. We’ll cherish this memory for life and will definitely come back one day.

A Vow Renewal to Remember – Grateful to Daniel & Wedding Pro Japan Corp This year marked our 7th vow renewal, and we can say with full hearts that our Kyoto ceremony with Wedding Pro Japan was one of the most memorable of them all. From our very first email to the warm goodbye at the train station, Daniel’s dedication was a guiding thread through our experience. His warmth, kindness, and calm professionalism shone through every interaction. He seamlessly managed everything—from coordinating our kimono rental and shrine timings, to gracefully guiding us through centuries-old Japanese rituals with care and cultural sensitivity. Each detail was carefully thought out, each moment full of meaning—from the serene beauty of the Miyake Hachiman-gu Shrine to the symbolic tamagushi offering and the joyful Sanbon-jime cheer. What truly set this ceremony apart was Daniel himself. His spirit never wavered—he went the extra mile by cheerfully clicking photos of us throughout the day, capturing moments we will cherish forever. His infectious enthusiasm, deep knowledge of Shinto traditions, and approachable nature made us feel instantly at ease. He didn’t just organize an event—he orchestrated a deeply moving celebration that reflected our journey as a couple. We sincerely thank Daniel and his wonderful team for making our Kyoto vow renewal so seamless and unforgettable. His dedication to his craft is inspiring, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple dreaming of a beautiful, meaningful ceremony in Japan.
