Want to attend an event as a couple
A friend's wedding or company party requires couple attendance, but you don't have a partner. Going alone feels awkward, and declining would be rude.

Told colleagues you have a partner when you don't
You stretched the truth at work, claiming to have a partner, and now they want you to bring them to a gathering. You can't let the truth come out now.

Couple Stand-In Service Case Studies
Here are real case studies from our Couple Stand-In service.
Couple attendance at a friend's wedding
Invited to a close college friend's wedding, the invitation read 'Please come as a couple.' Having no partner, he requested our service. We arranged a woman with an elegant impression, set up the backstory of 'dating for a year and a half,' and held advance meetings. On the wedding day, she naturally conversed with other guests and enthusiastically participated in entertainment.
Arranging a partner for couple photo shoots
She wanted couple photos at theme parks and trendy spots but had no boyfriend. We arranged a same-age male staff member as a couple stand-in and conducted couple photo shoots at DisneySea. We captured many Instagram-worthy shots, including matching outfits and natural smiling two-shots.
Partner accompaniment to a company family day
His company's family day required partner attendance, but he'd been hiding his single status. We arranged a female staff member in her 30s as 'a girlfriend of 3 years.' He naturally introduced her to supervisors and colleagues, and they participated in recreation as a couple.
Couple role model arrangement for MV shooting
An indie band needed couple role models for their MV shoot, so they requested our service. We arranged a male-female pair who could flexibly follow the director's instructions. They performed natural partner chemistry in beach date scenes, cafe conversation scenes, and more. A confidentiality agreement was signed to eliminate content leak risks.
