♥ Thank you ♥
We know it's a long way to come so we appreciate the opportunity to spend our special day with you in Sri Lanka! Our venue, the Heritance Kandalama, is nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's cultural triangle. So we have planned for an Adventure Day where we will organise a number of excursions from climbing Sigiriya Rock to watching Wild Elephants at dusk. There's quite a lot to do and see in Sri Lanka so, to help you plan your trip, we've put together a list of some of our favourite places and recommendations. We can't wait to celebrate with you! In the meantime, please do get in touch with any questions. Thanks so much, ❤️ Amy & Jason ❤️ P.S. The priority now is booking hotels, RSVPs and flights.
