The brainchild of Elon Venture Catalysts’ Vidushan Premathiratne, Retinue.lk also aims to promote Sri Lanka and its unique locations as the perfect wedding destination.

Retinue.lk was developed to present Sri Lanka's Wedding Experience to the world and position the country as a leading global wedding destination.

The online platform helps them prepare for their wedding in a simple and easy to use way.

The site also has the unique option of users reviewing and rating vendors to provide true life testimonials for services provided.

Taking the concierge service beyond just the “big day” itself, Retinue.lk also has the ability to support organizing other wedding related events like Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties, Home-Coming Functions and specific religious functions as well.
