Japanese Wedding Vendors in San Francisco

What to know

Note your ceremony

A Shinto ceremony with san-san-kudo, or a blend with modern elements, shapes the day. Mentioning it helps vendors and planners propose accurately.

Book catering early

A caterer for your menu is the long-lead piece on weekends. Lead with your date and guest count.

Mention attire and customs

Kimono dressing (shiromuku or uchikake) or specific traditions help vendors show they are a fit.

What is san-san-kudo?

San-san-kudo is the ceremonial sharing of sake in three sips from three cups, binding the couple and families. Note if you are including it so vendors can plan.
