How to plan your wedding in Malta and Gozo
Your perfect wedding…
The Maltese Islands are an ideal location for the perfect wedding and honeymoon. Rich in cultural heritage, soothing to both the eye and the heart, the word “romance” describes a thousand and one places on the island. Malta, Gozo and Comino are blessed with sunshine and crystal clear Mediterranean waters. Enjoy a wedding and honeymoon experience mixed with luxurious relaxation and exhilarating thrills while discovering the many culture, art and natural treasures unique to the islands.
Religious and civil ceremonies are offered in Malta and are legally recognized in Europe and North America. A wedding in Malta probably costs less than one in your country or in most other Mediterranean destinations. On the one hand, there is an absolute lack of bureaucracy – all you need to complete at home is simple documentation that proves you are single. English is also one of the two national languages, so no official translations are required for the documents to be handed over or the marriage certificate, and of course the ceremony itself can easily be in English.
You can organize the wedding yourself or hire a professional wedding company, as there are on the island. Planning a wedding yourself has never been easier thanks to helpful local wedding planning websites like BrideMalta, which is a local favorite for good reason. There you will find everything from wedding and bridesmaid dresses to accommodation for your guests and even a special section specifically for those looking to get married in idyllic Gozo.
Wedding transport is pure luxury as you can choose from cars ranging from Beauford to the latest BMW to Mercedes Benz or the more stylish and comfortable limousine. You may choose to travel by “karrozzin”, the traditional flower-decorated Maltese horse-drawn carriage. Or you choose to go by sea, leaving reception ashore with a Maltese fishing boat “luzzu”!
… and your perfect honeymoon!
The Maltese Islands offer a wide range of accommodation for your honeymoon, ranging from apartments, hotels, villas and country houses. All major chains (Hilton, Radisson, Intercontinental/Holiday Inn) have hotels on the island. The farmhouses have been completely remodeled to provide modern self-catering facilities with private pools set in secluded courtyards, complemented by hotels offering a full range of dining, sporting and social activities.
Unless you only plan to spend time in the big cities, you’ll need a car. Car rentals are cheap, so it doesn’t really matter where you stay.
From the golden sandy beaches of Mellieha Bay to the sheer cliffs of Dingley. From the prehistoric temples of Ggantija and the medieval city of Mdina to the pulsating nightlife of Paceville. Everything you are looking for for the perfect start to your life together is here in the Maltese Islands.
