Its nice that you are a christian. But is this wedding business thang ethical?

[rich dude kryptonite]

How is it not ethical? Japanese people want someone to perform a non-denominational wedding (not legally binging). They hire someone who looks the part.
Honestly, I think the religious thing might work against you. Japanese people don't want a Christian wedding, or those that do would get married in a church.

the legal binding takes place at the city office. ... and the chapels are fake too... it is all for show... and the fact that no one has the balls to say NO to the wedding planning company... besides, it is the parents who pay for it all...!

And this is a reply to the other questions, on the post.
I understand Japan in not a country with a Christian heritage, nore am i here trying to change that.
I 100% believe in respecting everyone, no matter where they are from or what they believe.
I am just hoping to find a position in this industry, thats all.

because an marriage ceremony performed by a satanist would be less binding...?

[EichoKago]

My wife's aunt own chain of wedding agency in Kyushu Island.
Introduce yourself to the agencies and planners.
Or open your own business..., start part time and build it.

You tell him. Those Christians are only in it till death do they part, but a good Satanist couple is expected to be together forever in order to rule the earth during Satan's Eternal Reign.


A minister...seeking a position... Has anyone suggested missionary yet?

[forehand cutback]

Mate, missionary is old chool
i may believe in god, but when it comes to positions,
I back the DOG 100%

[ChrisElliot2000]

forehand, when I first came to Tokyo I walked into a big hotel, asked them who did their weddings, contacted that agency and the rest is history, pardon the cliche.

Find some wedding village or hotel that looks like it has a lot of weddings in your area and do the same thing... or move to Mito and I'll set you up

Hmmm....sorry, can't help you out in your area. Trying contacting local wedding agencies and asking them which company the use to supply their foreign ministers. Or even pop along to local wedding places and find out if they use foreign priests. The people who make the wedding plan are the ones to find. They don't advertise as I have seen but more work off contacts and introductions. Good luck with the search and may you boldy go where many gaijin have gone before, into the wedding hole of ridicule.
