WEDDING SERVICE
Our experienced staff portray any guest role you need — friends, colleagues, or relatives. From balancing table headcounts to manning the reception desk, we handle it all.
Beyond attendance, we cover reception duties, speeches, entertainment performances, and after-parties. Every aspect of your ceremony's program is taken care of.
As the industry leader in wedding proxy attendance, our years of experience ensure natural, convincing performances that leave no trace of doubt.
Our professional stand-in service can solve these challenges.

An invited friend can no longer attend due to illness or an emergency, throwing off the table seating balance. Last-minute headcount changes also create difficulties with the venue.

You recently changed jobs and don't know anyone well enough, or workplace dynamics limit who you can invite. Having noticeably fewer guests on one side is awkward.

After moving to a new city, it's hard to invite hometown friends and you worry about guest numbers. Asking them to cover travel costs feels like too much to ask.

A small family or distant relatives mean the family seating section looks sparse. You want to balance both families' sides and create a full, beautiful ceremony.

There's no one suitable to ask for reception desk duty or the best friend speech, which affects important ceremony moments. Finding someone for entertainment is equally challenging.

The reception went fine, but you can't gather enough people for the after-party. You don't want a dull celebration, yet there are only so many people you can invite.
Our stand-in services can be utilized in a wide variety of events and situations.

Our staff attend the reception as friends or colleagues, naturally livening up the table. Experienced in conversation and perfectly timed applause, they celebrate the couple's new beginning.

We naturally take charge of the reception desk on behalf of the bride or groom. From greeting guests and guiding the guest book to managing gift money — everything is handled smoothly and gracefully.

We deliver heartfelt speeches prepared through detailed advance meetings. A moving address that adds a beautiful touch to the couple's celebration.

Our staff perform songs, dances, and other entertainment to energize the entire venue. From video appearances to musical performances, we create memorable and diverse productions.

Joining from the after-party, our staff naturally keep the energy high. With behavior tailored to the casual atmosphere, they make games and conversations genuinely fun.

When family members cannot attend, our staff step in as fathers, mothers, uncles, or aunts. They naturally participate in family greetings and group photos.

Our staff join the casual after-party as enthusiastic guests who boost the mood. They bring fun energy to games and conversations.

We naturally balance the headcount in group photos and table shots. Our staff add warm smiles to create picture-perfect memories.

"I had just been transferred and had no friends to invite to the reception — I was worried the groom's table would look empty. The five staff members I hired nailed every backstory detail during the advance meeting, and on the day, they celebrated with me just like real friends. Even the bride's guests complimented them, saying 'What wonderful friends you have!'"
"My mother had passed away, and I was worried the family seating would look sparse. The staff member I asked to play my aunt listened carefully to our family stories beforehand and blended in naturally with all the relatives on the day. The group photos looked perfectly natural, and when someone said 'Your mother would be so happy,' I couldn't hold back my tears."
"I had no one to give the best friend speech, so I turned to Family Romance. During the advance meeting, they carefully listened to stories from my school days. On the day, the speech felt like it came from a true lifelong friend — it was genuinely moving. Guests said it brought them to tears, and it became a memory I'll treasure forever."
"Three days before the ceremony, two friends suddenly canceled and the table headcount was off — I panicked. They quickly arranged two staff members, and on the day, they joined in as if nothing had happened, enjoying the celebration naturally. I'm truly grateful for their swift, expert handling of a last-minute crisis."
We can accommodate from 1 to over 50 people. We also accept requests by table, and can arrange groups by relationship type — friends, colleagues, etc. For large groups, contacting us at least two weeks in advance helps ensure smooth staff availability.
We recommend booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead, though we may be able to arrange staff more quickly depending on availability. For options requiring advance preparation — such as speeches or entertainment — please consult us as early as possible. For urgent requests, calling us directly ensures the fastest response.
Since our founding, we have received zero reports of detection. During advance meetings, we establish detailed backstories — how you met, shared memories, and relationship context. Our staff are thoroughly trained in on-the-spot conversation, so you can rest assured.
Our staff can bring gift money envelopes. The amount is charged at cost plus a handling fee. We advise on appropriate amounts based on the role — for example, ¥30,000 as a friend or ¥50,000 as a supervisor. We also prepare the decorative envelope and write the name on your behalf.
Based on the stories you share with us, our staff and a skilled writer collaborate to craft the speech. You can review and revise the final draft in advance, so you'll be fully satisfied with the content before the big day. A moving address that beautifully enhances the ceremony.
Male staff wear suits and female staff wear party dresses — appropriate attire for the occasion. If you let us know the dress code or venue atmosphere, we'll match our outfits accordingly. We take care of accessories and personal items as well.
