Five wedding experiences for Indian couples: beach, city, private resort, cultural and luxury hotel, each planned end to end by one team.
Choose Your Sri Lanka Wedding Experience
Our Sri Lanka wedding packages are built around five experiences: a romantic beach wedding, a cosmopolitan city wedding, a private resort wedding, a culturally inspired Sri Lankan wedding, and a luxury hotel wedding. Each package covers the venue, rooms, décor, catering, entertainment, photography, guest transfers and on-day coordination. It is then shaped around your guest count, traditions and budget.
Most Indian couples combine two experiences across a three-day celebration. A beach resort for the pheras and a heritage or city venue for the sangeet is the most popular pairing
What Every Sri Lanka Wedding Package Includes
Our wedding planning services cover every important detail, from shortlisting venues and arranging site visits to negotiating contracts and securing group room blocks for guests. We coordinate room allocations, mandap and stage décor, floral arrangements, and themes for each function to match your vision. Catering can include Indian, Jain, Sri Lankan, and continental menus, while entertainment options range from DJs and dhol players to live music and cultural performances. We also help coordinate photography, videography, airport transfers, and guest arrival information. An on ground team manages each event and helps prepare rain backup plans to keep your celebration running smoothly.
Romantic Wedding Experience
A beach wedding in Sri Lanka puts your mandap on the sand with the Indian Ocean behind you and a golden sunset during the pheras. It is the most booked experience among our Indian couples.
What’s included: beachfront mandap with floral and fabric décor, bamboo or floral arches, a sunset ceremony slot, beach baraat with dhol, and an evening reception on the lawn. Entertainment options include fire dancers, traditional drummers, live bands and a DJ.
Best places: Bentota, Kalutara, Weligama and Negombo on the west and south coast (December to March), or Pasikudah on the east coast (May to September).
Best for: couples who want classic sunset photos and an outdoor ceremony, for 50 to 400 guests.

Cosmopolitan Allure
A city wedding in Colombo suits couples who want a grand, modern celebration in a five star ballroom, with easy access for guests.
What’s included: pillarless ballroom reception, rooftop or waterfront sangeet, stage and LED production, multi-cuisine banquets, and guest stays in the same hotel. Colombo’s top hotels, including Shangri-La Colombo, Galle Face Hotel and The Kingsbury, offer ballrooms with city and ocean views.
Best places: Colombo, 45 to 60 minutes from the airport.
Best for: large receptions of 300+ guests, short trips, and families who want shopping and dining for guests between events.
Many couples pair a Colombo reception with a beach ceremony on the south coast, two looks in one trip.
Private Resort Wedding
A private resort wedding gives your families the whole property for the length of the celebration, with no other guests, no shared spaces and a separate setting for every function.
What’s included: full or partial resort buyout, a separate venue for each event (haldi by the pool, mehendi in the garden, sangeet in the ballroom, pheras on the beach), custom welcome kits, and a dedicated resort events team.
Best places: Hambantota and Tangalle for large buyouts, Bentota and Kalutara for mid-size groups, and Weligama villas for intimate weddings.
Best for: 3 to 4 day weddings where privacy matters and every guest stays together.

Culturally Inspired Wedding
A culturally inspired package adds traditional Sri Lankan elements to your wedding, from a full Poruwa ceremony to a single Kandyan dance performance at your reception.
The Poruwa ceremony is the heart of a traditional Sinhalese wedding. The couple stands on a decorated wooden platform called the Poruwa and exchanges betel leaves and rice. Their little fingers are tied with a gold thread while water is poured over them to symbolise unity. Traditional drumming and chanting accompany the rituals.
What’s included: a Poruwa ceremony setup, a traditional Kandyan sari and Nilame costume styling, Kandyan dancers and drummers, and a Sri Lankan feast with rice and curry, hoppers and traditional sweets.
Best for: couples who want guests to experience local culture. Many Indian couples add a Poruwa blessing or Kandyan dance welcome alongside their own Hindu, Sikh or Christian ceremony.
Luxurious Hotel Wedding
A luxury hotel wedding combines five-star rooms, spa, fine dining and grand event spaces in one property, on a beach, in the hills or in tropical gardens.
What’s included: suites for the couple and families, grand ballroom or garden ceremony, chandelier and floral décor, gourmet multi cuisine menus, pre-wedding spa sessions, and personalised guest service throughout your stay.
Best places: beachfront luxury resorts in Bentota and Kalutara, Geoffrey Bawa-designed hotels in Galle and Wadduwa, and hill country properties near Kandy.
Best for: couples who want every detail handled to a five star standard, for intimate or large guest lists.
