Getting married on a Sri Lankan beach is simpler than most couples expect. Summer Voyages is a Colombo-based local operator. Together with our wedding partner, Weddings by Akushla, we plan beach and hotel wedding ceremonies: the venue, styling, decor and photography. Then we handle everything around the day, including airport pickups, guest transport and the honeymoon that follows.
Our wedding partner: Weddings by Akushla
Your wedding day itself is planned and styled by Weddings by Akushla, a wedding planning and events team based in Colombo. They take care of the venue, decor and on-the-day details. We look after travel: getting you and your guests there, around the island and on to your honeymoon. You plan with one team and get two specialists. See their recent work on Instagram at @weddingsby_akushla.
What we arrange for your wedding day
- Venue: a beachfront or hotel setting matched to your guest numbers, style and budget.
- Styling and decor: the ceremony setup, flowers and theming, planned with you in advance.
- Photography: so the day is properly captured.
- Guests and logistics: fixed-fare airport transfers and private vehicles with drivers for you and your guests, booked through one local team.
Ceremony or legal marriage? An important note
The weddings we arrange are celebration ceremonies, not legal marriage registrations. Many couples complete the legal formalities at home, before or after the trip, and celebrate in Sri Lanka. If you need the marriage legally registered, please check the requirements with your home country and the Sri Lankan authorities before you plan the date.
When to marry on the beach
Sri Lanka's two monsoons fall on opposite sides of the island, so there is a good coast for most of the year. December to March is the dry season on the west and south coasts. May to September suits the east coast. See our best time to visit Sri Lanka guide for the month-by-month picture.
Turn it into your honeymoon
Most couples stay on afterwards. Our 10-day Sri Lanka Honeymoon Package combines Sigiriya, tea country and the beach with your own driver-guide, priced live online. If you want five-star hotels throughout, see the 23-day Ultimate Luxury tour. If you just want to relax, try the 7-day South Coast beach holiday.
Pricing
Every wedding is different, so wedding pricing is on request. Tell us your date, preferred coast, guest numbers and style, and we'll come back with options. Honeymoon tours and transfers are priced live on their pages.
Sri Lanka weddings: quick answers
Can foreigners have a beach wedding in Sri Lanka?
Yes. We arrange beach and hotel wedding ceremonies for couples from abroad, together with Weddings by Akushla. The ceremony is a celebration rather than a legal registration, so plan the legal side separately.
Can you look after our guests too?
Yes. We organise airport transfers and private vehicles for guests, and can add day trips and safaris for anyone staying on.
How far ahead should we plan?
Contact us as early as you can, especially for peak-season dates from December to March, so we can secure your preferred venue.
How do we start?
