Hello & Welcome
Welcome to Catherina Events & Tour, we specialise in destination weddings in Sri Lanka. We Create Weddings Where You See Yourself.
It is important for us how you want to feel on the wedding day.
And we adapt everything to your comfortable budget, while keeping the experience beautiful and refined.
Meet Catherina De Silva!
My name is Catherina De Silva, I am destination Wedding Planner in Sri Lanka and for more than 16 years I have been creating weddings around the world.
For the last 10+ years I have been living in Sri Lanka, organizing destination weddings for couples from Europe, Australia, America, Sri Lanka, India, China, Russia and many other countries.
Sri Lanka is not just a place where I work. It is my home.
My husband is Sri Lankan, which means I understand this country not only as a wedding planner - but also from the inside. Its culture, traditions, people, logistics and hidden locations.
And that changes everything because planning a wedding in another country is not just about beautiful decor.
It is about knowing:
• which locations truly work for weddings
• which hotels and villas are reliable
• how to manage local suppliers
• how to solve problems before they even appear
16 Years of Wedding Experience
My journey in weddings started long before Sri Lanka.
I studied psychology, religion history, management, marketing, art and design, and also lived in Italy, where I studied Italian language and oil painting.
These studies shaped the way I see weddings today because a wedding is not just an event.
It is a moment filled with emotions, culture, aesthetics and meaning.
For many years I organized weddings and events internationally before moving to Sri Lanka, where I founded Catherina Events and Tour — an international team creating destination weddings on the island.

Weddings Without Templates
I never create weddings from templates. Every couple is different. Every story is different.
And every wedding should feel like it was created only for you. That’s why each wedding we design is unique - from the concept to the smallest details.
Deep Knowledge of Sri Lanka
Over the years we have built a huge network across the island:

• weddings with guests
• multi-day celebrations
More Than Just a Wedding
For me, a wedding is not just an event. It is a moment when two people feel: happy, calm, beautiful, present. And everything around them is created so they can simply enjoy that moment.
This is why I do what I do and I with my team create not just weddings but memories that stay forever. We create Wedding Where You See Yourself!
It doesn’t matter:
• how many guests you have
• what your budget is
• what format you choose
What matters is one thing: how you want to feel on that day.
We create weddings:
• for 2-10 guests
• for 10-20 guests and more
• for 50-100+ guests
And we adapt everything to your comfortable budget, while keeping the experience beautiful and refined.
4 Types of Couples/ Weddings Who Come to Us
1. Small Wedding or Limited Budget
Sometimes couples dream of a beautiful wedding but understand that their budget is limited or they would like to escape to the tropics and get married alone or in the company of only their closest friends or family. And that’s completely normal.
Many couples say:
“ We want something beautiful, but without huge expenses.”
“ We don’t want complicated planning.”
“ Atmosphere matters more than size.”
And the truth is: A beautiful wedding doesn’t always mean a big budget.
We help couples find the format that works best for them:
• intimate beach or garden or lake ceremony
• small villa wedding
• ceremony with dinner
• stylish minimal decor
Even a small wedding can look elegant, stylish and very special. We create an atmosphere while keeping the budget comfortable and realistic.
2. Weddings with guests or Couples Who Already Have a Vision
Sometimes couples come with a dream.
They say:
“ We want a villa by the ocean.”
“ We love minimal and modern style.”
“ We already imagine the atmosphere.”
And that’s a beautiful starting point. Our role then is simple: to turn that vision into a real wedding.
We:
• suggest locations that match your concept
• we book all vendors and suppliers
• design decor and florals
• create the overall atmosphere
• organize everything smoothly
Because between a wedding idea and a real wedding there is a lot of work - and that’s exactly what we do.
3. Weddings with guests or Couples Who Feel Overwhelmed
This happens very often.
You want a wedding but suddenly there are:
• too many locations
• too many Pinterest ideas
• too many decisions
And at some point you feel: “I don’t even know where to start.” That’s where we become your guide.
We:
• create the wedding concept
• suggest locations, vendors, suppliers
• develop the style
• turn everything into one cohesive story
You simply share what you like, and we turn it into a clear and beautiful wedding vision.
4. Wedding Just for Two
Some couples want something completely different.
No guests.
No big celebration.
Many couples say: “We don’t want to invite guests; we want to share this day just between ourselves.” Just two people and their moment.
It can be:
• a beach or garden or lake ceremony
• a private villa ceremony
• ceremony with dinner
• or a simple intimate ceremony
Sometimes it’s part of a trip. Sometimes it’s the most personal day in their lives.
Our role is to create a space where you can slow down and truly feel this moment because a wedding is not about the size of the event. It’s about a feeling. The moment when you simply feel happy.
We are happy to organize the wedding for your and to be a part of your important day! Celebrate with your friends and family in unforgettable tropical locations.
Let’s Create Your Wedding Together!
