## Announcement | Declaration of "A world where free weddings are always possible"
Today, Placole Wedding announces the completion of its collaboration with all wedding venues and wedding planners worldwide. This means that the problem of "not being able to find a venue that suits us" is now a thing of the past. From today, a world begins where every couple is sure to find the perfect planner and venue based on all conditions—area, style, budget, number of guests. We believe all couples have the right to freely choose their wedding plan. We believe all businesses deserve an environment where their essential service capabilities can shine. Bokensha Placole is seriously committed to creating this world.
**Background | The reality of the industry we have felt on the ground**
In recent years, the number of weddings held in Japan has been declining, and more couples are choosing not to have a wedding. We have felt this reality daily on the front lines of the industry. But are more couples truly thinking, "I don't want to have a wedding"? We don't think so. A wedding is a unique experience in life. A time filled with smiles, where everyone gathered can share happiness—its value remains unchanged. That is why we believe we have a responsibility to protect and spread this culture.
"We want to do it, but we don't know how." "We can't find a venue that suits us."—We realized that the problem was not the desire for a wedding, but how to find one.
Instead of searching for a venue as a "place," we should meet a planner as a "person." By reversing that order, couples should be able to arrive at a wedding that truly reflects them more naturally.
Our philosophy is simple: "Increase free weddings." A free wedding is not a luxurious ceremony. It is a ceremony that the couple feels is "the one." To achieve this, we have two future goals:
**Freedom for couples**
—Instead of compromising within the constraints of a venue as a "place," finding a wedding unique to them through meeting a planner as a "person."
**Freedom for businesses**
—Moving towards a healthy market where essential service capabilities are fairly evaluated, without being caught up in advertising investment competition.
## Future Outlook | Until free weddings become the norm
