Weve's New Partnership with Kufu Wedding
In an exciting development for couples planning their wedding, Weve Inc., based in Osaka, has signed a partnership agreement with Kufu Wedding Inc., the operator of the popular wedding information site "Minna no Wedding". This collaboration aims to enhance the wedding planning experience by integrating real wedding videos into the Minna no Wedding platform.
The Game-Changing Proposal
The heart of this partnership lies in Weve's video service called "Omoide Plus Movie". This innovative platform captures the essence of wedding ceremonies through immersive one-minute videos. These captivating snippets will soon be available on the Minna no Wedding website, giving couples a more tangible feel for potential venues. This enhancement aims to improve the site’s ability to attract couples and ultimately increase the footfall at various wedding venues.
Background of the Services
Minna no Wedding is a comprehensive wedding information site that features details about over 6,000 wedding venues across Japan. It incorporates over 600,000 real reviews and expense reports, offering couples a wealth of genuine feedback. This site has become a go-to resource for engaged couples seeking authentic insights from those who have gotten married, helping them identify the venue that best fits their needs.
On the other side, Weve is recognized for its pioneering approach in the wedding video industry. With over 12,000 wedding videos recorded annually, it has been the first to offer free wedding filming alongside a service that allows couples to purchase short movies. This model has made Weve a hit on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, where its short videos have garnered over 50 million views each year.
As couples increasingly turn to social media for guidance in choosing wedding venues, blending these strengths with video content can significantly heighten a couple’s ability to visualize their wedding experience. Venues, in turn, can communicate their unique attributes more effectively, thereby enhancing their appeal and boosting customer engagement, leading to increased attendance rates and conversion rates.
Specific Initiatives in the Partnership
As a part of this partnership, Weve will edit wedding videos taken through the Omoide Plus Movie service into one-minute clips. These will be featured on the wedding venue introduction pages of the Minna no Wedding site.
Benefits for Couples
Through these videos, couples can embrace the atmosphere of the wedding venue, witnessing aspects that photos alone may not convey—such as mood, culinary options, and the genuine reactions of guests. The immersive video content aids in forming a clearer and more compelling picture of the wedding experience.
Benefits for Wedding Venues
Wedding venues gain the advantage of showcasing their charm through video, allowing couples to form more concrete visuals ahead of their visits. This not only piques interest but also deepens understanding, enhancing the likelihood of couples visiting and ultimately deciding to book the space for their special day.
