Traditional Sri Lankan Wedding
Experience the richness of Sri Lanka’s wedding heritage
A ceremony that honours time held rituals, layered with thoughtful modern planning.
From the first drumbeat to the final blessing, every step carries a story.
Different ways of being traditional
Sri Lankan weddings can be expressed through Kandyan pageantry, Southern low country traditions, Hindu temple rituals, or a gently blended heritage inspired day. This package gives you room to choose the direction that feels most true to your story and family.
Regal yet warm, with traditional Kandyan attire, drummers, dancers, and a Poruwa ceremony that feels ceremonial without losing softness.
Southern touches, rhythmic drumming, and blessings that feel rooted in the coastline and village life, often paired with open air venues.
Temple centred or temple inspired rituals with sacred fire, garlands, and offerings, curated with care for language, timing, and family customs.
For couples who want to echo Sri Lankan traditions without following a full script, we weave in symbolic elements like lamps, florals, music, and attire in a way that feels balanced and personal.
How the ceremony unfolds
To keep the day feeling calm and intentional, we structure the rituals in gentle stages. Each step is explained to you and your guests, so everyone feels included in the story instead of just watching from the side.
Many couples want the ceremony to feel deeply traditional while the reception feels a little lighter or more modern. This structure lets you hold both in one day.
