Sri Lanka, known for its dense landscapes, golden beaches, and rich history, has emerged as one of the most sought-after holiday spots for weddings. As co-founder of The Event Designer, Nishita Aggarwal embarked on a mission to travel and experience some of the best wedding venues in Sri Lanka herself. This blog walks you through her insights into the uniqueness of each venue, from their architectural splendor to their customized services provided to couples looking to host an unforgettable bash.
Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort: A warm host & a Wedding Show Spectacle
Nishita Aggarwal, co-founder of The Event Designer, embarked on her Sri Lankan journey at the breathtaking Anantara Peace Heaven Bungalow. The property is elegantly positioned between a peaceful lagoon and the Indian Ocean. The resort immediately resonated with her as she hand-picks the wedding venues for her clients herself. Needless to say, she was amazed by the overall ambiance and the vibes this resort has. Nishita was welcomed to stay for two days amidst a resplendent wedding spectacle. She attended the wedding show and had a brief time analyzing how the weddings are executed in Sri Lanka with ease and sophistication.
She met Rohit Chopra, the global sales head of Anantara, who was warm with enthusiasm and hospitality, setting the tone for the experience. Nishita also had a genuinely therapeutic spa experience that characterized Anantara’s dedication to well-being and to the care of guests. Immersive Sri Lankan dining experiences, such as a tastefully curated variety of food items, gave the experience a culinary depth.
The resort provided the best hospitality services to Nishita and her crew, including Indian celebrities Mohomed Morani and Lucky Morani, who were also present at the show and demonstrated to us just how welcoming the resort is to destination wedding specialists. It reminded us why Anantara Peace Heaven is among the best wedding venues in Sri Lanka for style, hospitality, and cultural richness.
Anantara Kalutara: Serenity Meets Sophistication
Next, Nishita journeyed to the tranquil southern coastline to try out Anantara Kalutara. The resort justified its name, raw peace, among coconut trees and overlooking the dramatic sea.
During a two-day vacation, Nishita experienced the resort as a place, not a destination. Food, people, and atmosphere all blended seamlessly. From furtive meetups to endless sulking walks on the beach, it was a spiritual escape from drudgery.
The resort hosted industry forums that encouraged introspection. With Mohomed Morani and Lucky Morani in attendance, Nishita engaged in in-depth discussions with other wedding entrepreneurs regarding changing trends, individualizing events, and the bright horizons of wedding planning services in Sri Lanka. The setting offered the ideal forum for creating beneficial relationships and future collaboration.
This serene and indulgent haven has all the modern-age couple needs. It’s one of the finest luxury wedding venues in Sri Lanka, perfect for luxury weddings where everything feels bespoke.
Avani Kalutara Resort: Charming Sophistication for Intimate Celebrations
The last stop for Nishita was Avani Kalutara Resort, where nature’s simplicity is combined with modern architecture. For Nishita, this resort was a secret gem for intimate, private celebrations that are lesser-known. With the Kalu River to one side and the ocean to the other, it boasts a distinctive and rejuvenating twin-waterfront setting.
The resort staff made hosting a smooth affair and left one wondering if Avani is now all set to roll out the carpet for NRI guests as much as destination weddings. From sun-kissed lawns where pheras take place to poolside areas to host colorful Haldi events, the versatility of the resort left Nishita in awe.
Nothing is surprising if Avani becomes one of the top destination wedding hotels in Sri Lanka for NRI weddings, which offers ease of access, beauty, and warmth in a wholesome package.
A Glimpse into the Future of Weddings
Well, there’s really something unique and magical about Sri Lanka, and it’s serene, idyllic, and rich in culture. When Nishita Aggarwal explored the island, she knew why couples everywhere were heading to this gem for their wedding. From tea gardens and serene shores to ancient temples and colonial mansions, each backdrop feels like a postcard. The island offers a seamless blend of tradition and luxury, perfect for Indian wedding traditions with a tropical twist.
What left Nishita amazed was the warmth of the natives and also the professionalism among hospitality personnel at each venue she visited. Hence, Sri Lanka is emerging as a leading wedding destination for NRI couples. From wedding entrepreneurship networking to discovering the potential of the country, Sri Lanka gave her a glimpse of the future of luxury celebrations.
With its top-notch hospitality, stunning venues, and growing trend of destination weddings, Sri Lanka is already going to be the wedding destination for brides and grooms across the globe. And with The Event Designer spreading their wings here, buckle up for nothing but the extraordinary from their upcoming wedding planning services in Sri Lanka.
