8:28 AM 9/7/2024
Wedding Halls in Sri Lanka are available in Temples, Hotels and with the Individual Buildings. Weddings in Sri Lanka used to take place in Hotels, Homes, Temples and Wedding Halls. Most the parents of the bride and groom prefer to have the wedding in their homes, if it is big enough to hold the ceremony. Tamil Hindus prefer temples while Christian weddings used to take place in their family churches. All the weddings are actually a family gathering event where friends too gather to celebrate the couple's wedding ceremony. Parents of the bride and groom spend lot of money to make their children's wedding ceremony as a grand one. They spend most of their money on Banquet Halls and on the Food and beverages that are served for the guests. In Jaffna lot of Tamil Hindu marriages are being celebrated at the Chelva Sannathi Murugan Temple and Nallur Sivan Kovil. In the meantime these two temples are not expensive to celebrate Tamil weddings. Currently due to increased rice and vegetable prices the lunch prices too had been doubled all over Sri Lanka.
Due to economy downfall in Sri Lanka, wedding functions too are limited to 50 - 100 guests by the parents to reduce the wedding cost.
But, most of the Wedding Hall owners still want to book their halls with maximum numer of guests.
Recently a wedding Hall in Kodikamam had celebrated a wedding with more than 700 guests.
So it is up to the concerned people's thinking on a simple wedding or a lavish wedding in Jaffna or in Colombo.
