A Unique Wedding Experience at Chiba Art Museum

Starting from October 9, 2025, Weave Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, will launch a new service, 'Oshi-Dori at Chiba Art Museum'. This initiative celebrates the 900th anniversary of Chiba’s founding and is a collaborative effort between the government, cultural institutions, and private enterprises.

A Historic Venue for a Special Occasion

The service offers couples a chance to fully book the historic Sayadou Hall, where they can enjoy a personalized string quartet performance and a unique ceremony tailored just for them. This concept emerged due to the increasing number of couples opting for smaller weddings or forgoing traditional ceremonies altogether. While more couples are choosing not to get married in a conventional manner, there remains a significant desire to have their vows captured in a meaningful way. 'Oshi-Dori' addresses this modern need by providing a platform that combines personal stories with cultural richness.

Celebrating 900 Years of Chiba

As the 900th anniversary of Chiba approaches in 2026, Weave’s 'Oshi-Dori' aims to highlight the beauty of the city's art and culture, intertwining them with couples' love stories. It creates memorable life milestones that resonate through the tranquility, light, and music of the venue.

The Features of the Service

• - Exclusive Use of Sayadou Hall: This refined space, once the old Chiba branch of the Kawasaki Bank, boasts Neo-Renaissance columns and provides a serene atmosphere for the couple's vows.
• - Personalized String Quartet Performance: Couples will be serenaded by professional musicians performing classical pieces, exclusively for them in an audience-free environment.
• - Custom Ceremony: The ceremony merges music with vows, allowing couples to exchange rings amidst the enchanting sound of the quartet, generating a heartfelt atmosphere that transcends traditional formats.
• - Capturing Sounds and Emotions on Video: Professional filming and editing will record the exquisite acoustics of the hall along with the emotional nuances of the ceremony, preserving memories that can be shared for generations.

Promotional Campaign

To commemorate the 900th anniversary, Weave is introducing a special campaign with limited availability for three couples. Full details will be available on the official website.

Chiba City’s Support

Chiba City welcomes the 'Oshi-Dori' initiative as part of its 900-year celebration, appreciating its role in helping citizens reflect on their history and envision the future. This unique approach to documenting a couple’s wedding will undoubtedly add vibrancy to the anniversary celebrations.

Investment and Accessibility

Pricing for the service starts at 485,000 yen (including tax), and it is available to all couples, regardless of their marital status. This initiative aims to record key life events within a cultural asset, thereby enhancing the local community’s engagement with its rich history.

Cultural and Economic Impact

The blend of weddings and cultural heritage not only focuses on individual experiences but also aims to promote tourism and cultural interaction within Chiba City. As more couples engage with the offerings, it is anticipated that the local economy will benefit significantly.

Chiba Art Museum is well-regarded for its extensive exhibitions, which include ukiyo-e prints, Edo period paintings, and modern artworks, making it an ideal backdrop for couples to document their unique vows.

Future Developments

Weave plans to continue expanding the 'Oshi-Dori' service across various venues nationwide, focusing on exceptional, personalized experiences. Subsequent collaborations are in the works, with updates to be announced through official channels.
