A spectacular wedding in the tropics A fiery sunset, twinkling stars gazing down on a courtyard of a colonial manor house or a tropical garden on the banks of a river … these are some of the spectacular settings we present for your wedding. Shinagawa Beach, Balapitiya; The River House, Balapitiya; Taprobana, Wadduwa and Tamarind Hill, Galle each offer unique spaces to create the wedding you’ve always dreamed of.
Whatever you desire, no task is too big for us. Note: Taprobana, Wadduwa and Shinagawa Beach, Balapitiya are located on the coast and ceremonies can be held indoors or on the beach. The River House, Balapitiya and Tamarind Hill, Galle are located inland and ceremonies can be held indoors or in the garden.
Traditional wedding ceremonies Partake in age old tradition as elaborately adorned Kandyan dancers lead you in to the ceremony to the beat of classical drums. As the two of you stand atop a Póruwa, an artfully raised podium with its backdrop of tropical flowers, know that the promises you make here will last a lifetime.
A host of beautiful customs are the very essence of Sri Lankan weddings. Lighting the oil lamp signifies a bright future together. Chanting of Jayamangala gátha invokes blessings, whilst a meal of milk rice and traditional sweets signifies prosperity.
Let this island swoon you with her charm as you wed in paradise.
