Wedding Budget Tips
A wedding in Okinawa involves not only the reception but also travel and accommodation expenses. Here are some tips for making your dream wedding more budget-friendly.
Secret 1
Consider a wedding in the off-season or on a weekday
1.Plan for the off-season
- December to March:
- While it might seem chilly, Okinawa’s daytime temperatures during this period are similar to Tokyo’s in May, making it a perfect season for weddings.
- May：
- With a mild and pleasant climate, May is an ideal time for a wedding. The long holiday season in Japan at the beginning of May makes it easier for guests to take time off, making it a popular choice.
- June to August:
- From mid-June to August, after the rainy season, the weather is mostly sunny, perfect for an outdoor ceremony.
2.Plan to hold the wedding on a weekday
Weekdays are recommended throughout the year for a more relaxed experience. Mondays and Fridays are popular as they can be connected to the weekend. For the best savings on flights and accommodations, consider Tuesday to Thursday, avoiding the weekend. It is a good idea to adjust the schedule based on your guests’ availability.
