  • In March, Colombo’s weather is generally hot, sunny, and humid. This period marks the beginning of warmer, drier conditions before the main rainy season. Temperatures typically range from 24°C to 32°C. Pleasant sea breezes make it ideal for beach days; however, you may occasionally experience short, intense rain showers.

  • There is plenty of free parking available near the entrance.

  • Yes, it is wheelchair accessible, and there will be plenty of assistance available to help you move around the venue.

  • This is a traditional Sri Lankan Hindu Tamil wedding. Therefore, we kindly expect men to wear traditional attire such as a veshti and shirt, and women to wear traditional attire such as a saree with blouse, where shoulders are covered.

  • You may wear any footwear you like. However, please kindly remove your footwear at the entrance before entering the wedding hall.

  • Yes! Please feel free to take photos and videos. However, we will have professional photographers and videographers present, so you can relax and fully enjoy the ceremony without feeling the need to capture everything yourself.

    With your blessings, we ask for nothing more.
