Why Should you Have a Destination Wedding?

At Ceylon Haven we can’t think of a reason not to! But to help you decide we have included our top reasons why opting for getting out of the city and traditional wedding setting will prove to be the best decision you have ever made, after your partner of course!

Stand Out from the Crowd!

With hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankan weddings taking place every year, you don’t want to blend into the background of “Wedding Season” you want yours to be the one to remember. What better way to ensure your special day stands out, than choosing a destination in the mountains, or on the beach or a place that is special to you and your partner! Sri Lanka may be a small island but the options for destination weddings are endless!

It’s Easier!

Your wedding is meant to be the most special day of your life, you don’t need it surrounded by stress and anxiety! Destination weddings are an ideal way to avoid this as most villas and locations offer fully inclusive wedding packages based on budget and numbers so once you book, you just have to worry about having a good time and spending the quality lead up time to your big day with your loved ones, stress free!

Think of the Pictures!

Everything is less fun if you don’t have stunning pictures to remember them by! Having a destination wedding will ensure your photos are jaw dropping and completely different to the traditional photos sitting on the majority of mantel pieces! A destination wedding makes sure that every photo taken is as magical and break taking as the last. Every photo taken will make you want to laugh and cry for all the right reasons!

It’s Cheaper!

It is no secret that some weddings break the bank, who wants to deal with a hefty bill when just starting out life with your soul mate?! Having a destination wedding allows you to keep the guest list to a minimum, those who you care about and love will make the extra effort to travel to celebrate with you! When you choose a destination wedding you are literally combining the 2 major expenses of getting married the wedding and the honeymoon – it is a no brainer really!

You can get Creative!

When you plan a destination wedding as opposed to a function room in a hotel, the location is solely yours – meaning the venue and staff will be more flexible to your requests, they don’t have the bureaucracy of hotels so are much more accommodating. If its special cocktails you want made that are created just for your wedding or specific decorations, let your mind run wild and add your personal touches and taste throughout the venue and your day!
