guest reviews
“Well its coming up to a month since our stay since the big wedding and after a few weeks back at work the dust has finally settled! We just wanted to say a massive thanks to you and your team for putting on the most amazing wedding day!” “The feedback we have received from our guests and family about the day, the venue and especially the food was exceptional, everyone LOVED it!”
“Where to start?! Thank you so much for helping to put on such an amazing day - it was truly fabulous and nothing too much trouble for you all. Loved the fireworks and at least the other guests we met seemed to enjoy them too... luckily!” “We loved every minute of our stay and please thank all your staff who worked so hard and always with a lovely Sri Lankan smile on their faces.”
“Thanks again for your patience, support and seamless execution on our special day. We (and our guests) had an amazing time. The villlas, food, drink and service was truly world-class.”
The Wedding Ceremony

Couples can choose a non-denominational civil service conducted by a Celebrant, with or without a Registrar for the legalisation, and/or a traditional Buddhist ‘Poruwa’ ceremony. The more colourful ‘Poruwa’ ceremony can be tailored to your requirements. Services conducted by a Celebrant take approximately 25 minutes with spoken vows and readings, and traditional Buddhist ceremonies take up to 45 minutes. The choice is yours.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to have a formal Christian wedding ceremony in a garden in Sri Lanka. Only civil services or Buddhist ceremonies are permitted. You can have a Christian blessing by a clergyman; however, you will need to be in Sri Lanka months prior to meet with the minister.

  • Important Information
  • Legal Requirements

To get married in Sri Lanka, you’ll need to provide a statement to say you are unmarried and therefore able to get married in Sri Lanka, issued by the local authority where you are resident. You’ll also need a copy of your passport, along with a copy of the tourist visa issued on arrival in Sri Lanka.

If someone is making this application on your behalf, they will need a letter of authority, and it is important that the signature on letter of Authority should be the same as on passport.

Your Marriage Certificate:

Your wedding certificate will be issued in Sinhala and will need to be translated into English in order for it to be legally recognised in your own country. In most cases the Sinhala wedding certificate can be issued immediately, the English translation can take up to three days.

It is then required that this certificate, as well as the original Marriage Certificate (in Sinhala) be taken to the Consular Section of the Ministry of External Affairs in Colombo along with a copy of your Passport and a copy of the Tourist Visa issued on arrival in Sri Lanka.

After approval from the Ministry of External Affairs in Colombo, it is then required that your paperwork be taken to the Consular/Embassy of the country that has issued your passport, for further verification. We can organise this for you and couples will be advised as to this cost on a one-off basis (different countries charge different rates).

When we have completed, we will then courier all relevant paperwork to you, for you to keep.

Weddings can be conducted from Monday to Sunday excluding bank holidays. The couple must be 18 years or over. There is a minimum residency of five days i.e. couples must be in Sri Lanka at least three days prior to the wedding day to meet with the registrar. Parental consent is required if under 21.

The following documentation is required in advance:

  • Birth certificate
  • Valid 10-year passport
  • If single, an affidavit confirming marital status from solicitor
  • If divorced, a decree absolute with court stamp of the previous marriage and an affidavit to declare marital status stamped by a notary
  • If widowed, death certificate of former spouse and marriage certificate
  • If adopted, an adoption certificate
  • If name changed by Deed Poll, legal proof stamped and signed by a solicitor
  • A document with full names and address of bride, groom and both sets of parents
  • A document with the details of the bride and groom’s professions and that of their fathers
