Company’s Working Principle

ARAYA’s working principle focuses on creating a smooth and peaceful environment for anime-themed or Islamic wedding events based on the principles of event management. In addition to developing professional staff to work according to event management standards, ARAYA also provides training programs for its employees, short courses, and workshops to ensure that the bride, groom, wedding party, and families are well prepared and have a good understanding of event planning. This is done through a systematic consultation process called “Nikah Consult,” which is the core process of ARAYA. When the event organizers (company clients) are well-prepared and knowledgeable and work with ARAYA’s partners who meet the company’s standards, smooth events can take place.

Identity Status and Current Communication

ARAYA is committed to creating smooth Islamic wedding events, particularly for families with religious differences or interfaith couples. We have spent several years developing knowledge, systems, methods, and formats to ensure that smooth events for families of different religions can take place according to religious principles, be systematic, and provide a good experience for participants of different religions and cultures. This commitment to problem-solving has allowed ARAYA to grow from a wedding studio to a company in the current market.

Next Steps: The Next Perspective of the Company

Regardless of the fact that organizing weddings for intercultural and interfaith couples is the core essence, heart, and identity of ARAYA, the market size of interfaith couples is small and limited. Thus, the company cannot sustain growth in the long run by relying solely on this market. Therefore, ARAYA has planned to develop markets related to its core business to establish a strong foundation for the company to grow in the future with the following market-oriented approach:


⦿Expanding the perspective beyond just the bride and groom will mean traveling the journey of relationships. It involves expanding the perspective from considering customers solely as new couples, to traveling the journey of relationships from the start of learning, dating, deciding to be in a relationship, getting married, building a life together, and even facing separation or divorce. With this expanded perspective, ARAYA can develop related products, making it a safe haven for interfaith and Muslim love, from the beginning to the end of life. This expanded perspective will create many related products, such as offering appropriate restaurant services during the dating stage where interfaith couples can get to know each other and start learning about each other’s cultural way of life. This will be a starting point for intercultural learning.


⦿ Expanding the perspective to include the family will create opportunities to offer various products and services, such as holding family gatherings, creating a family heritage, and organizing educational trips to cultural landmarks. This can lead to developing family-related products and services, such as teaching parents how to raise children in an interfaith or multicultural environment. Also, expanding the perspective beyond the family and the couple, ARAYA can develop products and services for the community as a whole. For example, organizing festivals or events where people can come together and celebrate their cultural diversity, making it a safe space for all.


⦿ Expanding the perspective will not only create a market for ARAYA but also create a space for interfaith and multicultural communities to come together. ARAYA’s core values and beliefs align with creating a safe space for all individuals, regardless of their cultural or religious background, to celebrate love and life. By expanding the perspective beyond just interfaith weddings, ARAYA can create a safe and welcoming space for all, while also sustaining the growth of the company.


⦿ Developing online content related to culture is an important foundation for ARAYA, and it has been their focus throughout their development of online content through various social media channels. They have created content related to cultural tourism, food, history, short films, and other aspects of culture as another product that they offer.


⦿ Developing news content related to the Muslim market and understanding the needs of Muslims in Thailand and other countries is crucial marketing data for businesses operating both in and outside of the Muslim market. Currently, there is no marketing page that is specific and contemporary enough to convey the market situation, social context, and culture from the perspective of people of different religions or those who are outside of the Muslim community. These channels can be continuously developed and updated, and if a company holds the data knowledge, it will have the negotiating power and ability to conduct various business marketing activities in the future.


⦿ Developing a connection channel that links companies’ stores and wedding personnel throughout Thailand via website development is another area that the company can work on. Currently, there is no official online database or page that collects information from service providers or other relevant news. This is an area where the company can develop and establish themselves in the market by providing a one-stop service for customers.

Preliminary Conclusions

Although ARAYA currently has limited service boundaries, the company has planned to grow steadily into various related markets. This includes developing new systems, concepts, work patterns, and partnerships to support increasingly complex business operations in the future. However, despite the numerous branches, the main goal of the operations is to create a safe space for interfaith couples, not just for marriage, but for both families from the beginning of the relationship to the end of their lives, through ARAYA’s products. This growth is a long-term plan that we will continuously strive for.
