Cross-Border Destination Wedding Consultant
Anita Sundaram is a Chennai-based destination wedding consultant who specialises in cross-border ceremonies for South Indian families, with a focus on Sri Lanka and the Konkan coast. With over seven years of experience coordinating multi-country weddings, she handles the logistics most Indian planners avoid — ETA visas for Sri Lanka, the four-day legal residency for marriage solemnisation in Colombo, and the cross-border vendor coordination between Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and overseas destinations. Anita has personally run weddings at Anantara Tangalle, Cape Weligama, Ceylon Tea Trails and the Bentota-Galle corridor since 2019. Bilingual in English and Tamil with conversational Sinhala, she writes at itsmy.wedding about international wedding planning for Indian couples, comparison guides between South Asian destinations, and the practical legal-and-logistics layer that determines whether a destination wedding actually works.
