Reef Villa and Spa

If you are thinking about getting married in  Sri Lanka, I would recommend holding your wedding ceremony at Reef Villa. If you are reading this you are probably deciding whether getting married abroad at Reef Villa is right for you and the answer is 100% YES - go for it. Unlike a UK wedding, our wedding at Reef Villa was so easy to organise and there was zero stress involved. This is mainly because we had the lovely Bernadette doing all the hard work for us. Bernadette organised everything for us including the flowers, registrar, traditional dancers, photographer and the fireworks. We booked all of this about 6 months before. I would email Bernadette and often I would receive a reply within the hour which installed my confidence in Reef Villa from the outset. To get your papers to get married in Sri Lanka is very easy. You need to get an avidat signed by a UK solicitor, then send this off to be legalised by the UK foreign office and then get the London Sri Lankan Embassy to legalise it- it took about a week in total and super easy. My husband and I decided to stay at Reef Villa for 7 days and we brought along 20 guests who all stayed at a nearby hotel. When we arrived we were greeted by Malith, the General Manager and his team. We were shown around Reef Villa and I have to say the pictures on their website do not do it justice of how beautiful the place is! The next day we met with Malith and we talked through the details of the wedding and what we wanted. We were also taken to the registrar in reefs very own tuk tuk to hand over all our documents and I met with the hairdresser to talk through what I wanted done with my hair on the wedding day. All very easy! On the wedding day, my mum and my bridesmaids got ready in my room with me and housekeeping arranged to have extra mirrors brought into the room. The hairdresser done my hair plus 4 others and we were all extremely happy with and it stayed in for the whole wedding day. We book traditional drummers foor
