The wedding celebration took place in the garden with the tranquil view of the lagoon on 15 March with the presence of their family, friends, and other well wishers.

The wedding ceremony was conducted according to Sri Lankan traditional rituals and was garlanded by the gamut of dancers, singers, drummers and an elephant ride to make it a little more special and memorable.

After the wedding formalities ended Dave and Ellie enjoyed a romantic candle lit dinner at the Araliya restaurant, an a la carte restaurant that offers a selected variety of culinary delights, and a special champagne breakfast the following day. David and Eleanor commenting on the wedding said, “From the second we arrived, we were made to feel welcomed by all of the staff here. Nothing seemed too much for them. They are a credit to the hotel, and a credit to Sri Lanka. All the usual worry of a wedding was nowhere to be seen as everything was taken care of, leaving us to enjoy every moment leading up to the ceremony. The ceremony itself was amazing! The dancers, singers, drummer and elephant ride filled us with memories to cherish forever. We are so glad we chose to come here and have the traditional wedding rituals, surrounded by new friends including guests and your wonderful staff.”
