Colombo, Thursday 20th July 2017: A wedding is an extravagant and extremely joyful event but anyone who has ever planned a wedding can speak for the amount of chores and work that goes into making sure that it goes off without a hitch. Regardless of whether you are only inviting your closest family and friends or literally going to town, you will require all the help you can get. Amongst the list of things to do, one of the major components of planning a wedding is picking out a serene venue for your dream wedding. This is where a venue like Waters Edge goes beyond and becomes your trusted wedding partner making all the difference in creating that perfect memory.
Surrounded by tranquil water ways beautified by the exotic water lilies that bloom in the sunshine Waters Edge is a property ranked among the most sought after dream wedding destinations in the country.
Set away from the bustle of the city, Waters Edge is a five star luxury hotel that offers a number of venues for special events such as weddings varying in location and the number of guests the venues can accommodate. The Grand Ballroom, The Eagle, The View, Olu, Nelum, Manel, The Link and Albatross are all unique in views, seating capacity, choice of menus and décor options.
Nelum, Olu and Manel are all located on the ground floor of the hotel and can be used as one big hall or separated into three different sections depending on the preference of the client. The hall is completely soundproof and also comes with its own lobby and seating area. The Link which is on the first floor is designed to make maximum use of the surroundings of the property with the glass panels providing a spectacular view all around. The Link is the ultimate venue for intimate gatherings and can seat up to seventy guests. Albatross also situated on the first floor is one of the many venues at the hotel and can seat up to a hundred people. The location is very elegant and it has the potential to be transformed into any theme of your preference.
The View is a location that is fit for royalty as it is adorned with beautiful chandeliers and an elegant interior that adds an ambiance perfect for dreams to come true. It also offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the beauty of the outdoors. The Eagle on the second floor of the hotel is newly refurbished and has the capacity of seating around two hundred and fifty guests. The grandest of them all as its name suggests is the Grand Ballroom which can seat up to three hundred and fifty guests.
Apart from the indoor venues, Waters Edge is also home to luscious green lawns that can be converted to an ideal setting for an outdoor wedding. Vintage gardens, a forest full of greenery, a lakefront pier wedding or any setting out of a fairytale can be recreated on the extensive lawns.
Apart from the wedding ceremony itself, these venues can also be used for pre and post wedding celebrations like bridal showers and bachelor/bachelorette parties, and home comings as well. With multiple seating options, an event of any size is not a problem for Waters Edge.
Waters Edge is also unique in its capability of customizing weddings to suit each couple’s requirements and budgets. The banquets team pays individual attention to the needs of every wedding, extending their expertise to choose the right menu to fit the theme of the day. They will also suggest vendors for other wedding requirements such as flowers and décor, lights and sounds and wedding attire. Adding an unique touch of elegance that only Waters Edge can supply, couples can choose their getaway vehicle to be as exotic as a helicopter and sea-plane.
Waters Edge’s award-winning pastry chef Nalin Hewage is also world-renowned for his cakes and cake structures that are customized to suit colours and themes and even guest list sizes. His creations have often been the showpieces of weddings held at the hotel.
All of this and more will be on display at the Waters Edge stall at the “Wedding Show 2017” which will be held at BMICH from 21st – 23rd July 2017. For more information and to meet with the banquets team please visit stall 44/48 in Hall B or call 0112 863863.
