Wedding in Korakuen, Okayama

Hi
I live in Australia and I am wanting to get married in Japan.
I've been researching about having a wedding there next year during cherry blossom season and had very little luck regarding the ceremony part.
I am fully aware of the paperwork needed to be done etc.
But I was wondering if Korakuen garden in Okayama allows wedding ceremonies, or maybe you know a garden that allows them?
I've found garden weddings aren't really a thing in Japan it's more shires and hotel weddings.
I am really hoping to have a wedding ceremony under some cherry blossom and I do love Korakuen garden.
When we were there last I did see a couple having their wedding photos taken there and a party in one of their tea houses.
We will be a group of about 20 people or less.
We really just want a small garden ceremony and then maybe a tea ceremony in a tea house then have dinner in a nice restaurant.
Or maybe you could suggest something we could do?
Or does Nara park allow such things?
I do not speak Japanese which makes it completely impossible to plan a wedding however I do have a friend who speaks and reads it.
Any help you can proivde will be most wonderful and I will be thankful.

Thx to Takeuchi-san for info that wedding is possible. In April '12 I saw extensive wedding photo sessions here and in Himeji gardens. Hope yr wedding is wonderful. There ARE many wedding halls in resort areas; the ones near Kobe Port Tower looked very nice. Just a thought.

There were weddings every 15 minutes in Korakuen. I could also recommend Happoen in Tokyo: although similar frequency have no idea of relative costs though Hope it works out!

As Harry Takeuchi says dont count on the cherry blossoms. I was in Tokyo this year & They declared peak blossom I think on the Friday & by the next Wednesday most of it was on the ground. However I have visited Korakuen several times & it would be a fantastic location with or without the blossom. Okayama is a great place to visit.
