Common questions
Answers before you even ask
The questions we field most often. If yours isn't here, message us — we answer directly, not through a form queue.
How far in advance should I book Sampath Events?
Book one to three weeks ahead for a standard rental or setup, and one to three months ahead for weddings and corporate year-end events. Sri Lanka's peak wedding months — May, August and December to January — sell out our Tiffany chair and marquee stock first, so those dates need the longest lead time. Short-notice requests are still worth sending: we can often cover a weekend event booked on the preceding Tuesday.
How do I get a price?
Send us your event date, venue or city, approximate guest count and what you need, and we return an itemised quotation — usually the same working day. Pricing depends on quantities, distance from Colombo, setup complexity and how long equipment is on site, so we quote per event rather than publishing a fixed price list.
Which areas of Sri Lanka does Sampath Events cover?
We deliver island-wide from our base in Kelaniya, Western Province. We work regularly in Colombo, Gampaha, Kelaniya, Negombo, Kandy, Galle and travel to every other district. Transport, setup and breakdown are handled by our own crews rather than subcontracted, and travel is included in the quotation rather than added afterwards.
Do you deliver and set up, or is it collection only?
Every booking includes delivery, placement to your floor plan, and post-event collection. Our crew positions chairs, tables, canopies and staging according to the agreed layout, so nothing arrives as a stack of equipment for you to arrange.
What happens if it rains during an outdoor event?
Our marquees use 100% waterproof heavy-gauge PVC membrane on galvanised steel frames, anchored with weighted ballast rather than pegs alone, so they are built for tropical downpours and coastal wind. For outdoor bookings we plan a wet-weather layout alongside the main layout, so guests, catering and power can be moved under cover without improvising on the day.
How many Tiffany chairs can you supply for one event?
Our seating inventory covers intimate gatherings of around 50 guests up to receptions of 1,000 or more. Gold, white, silver and clear Tiffany (Chiavari) chairs are available with padded cushions, and every chair is cleaned and inspected before dispatch.
What exactly does 'total event solutions' mean?
It means the design, the equipment, the production and the on-site management all come from one company. Instead of hiring a chair supplier, a canopy contractor, a lighting crew and a printer separately, you deal with a single team, a single schedule and a single point of accountability if something needs to change.
Can I hire equipment only, without event management?
Yes. Many clients hire chairs, tables, canopies or staging on their own, with delivery and setup included, and manage the event themselves. Full coordination is an option, not a requirement.
Building Sri Lanka's most dependable event partner
Sampath Events was founded to remove the coordination burden from event planning: one team responsible for design, equipment, production and execution, rather than five suppliers pointing at each other.
