How to plan your wedding in Malta and Gozo

Your perfect wedding…

The Maltese Islands are an ideal setting 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 the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean that surrounds them. Indulge in a wedding and honeymoon experience, combined with luxurious relaxation and exciting thrills as you discover the islands’ many unique cultural, artistic and natural treasures.

Religious and civil ceremonies are available in Malta and are legally recognized in Europe and North America. A wedding in Malta will likely cost less than one in your own country or in most other Mediterranean destinations. For one thing, there’s a complete lack of red tape: all you need to fill out at home is simple paperwork proving you’re single. English is also one of the two national languages, so no official translations are required to deliver the documents or the marriage certificate, and of course the ceremony itself can easily be done in English.

You can organize the wedding yourself or hire a professional wedding company, which is abundant on the island. Organizing 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 dresses and bridesmaid dresses to accommodation for your guests and even a special section specifically for those who wish to get married in idyllic Gozo.

Wedding transportation is pure luxury, as you can choose from cars ranging from Beauford to the latest BMW, Mercedes Benz or the most elegant and comfortable limousine. You may decide to travel by “karrozzin”, the traditional Maltese horse-drawn carriage decorated with flowers. Or opt to go by sea, leaving your beachfront reception on a Maltese ‘luzzu’ fishing boat!

…and your perfect honeymoon!

The Maltese Islands offer a wide range of accommodation for your honeymoon requirements, ranging from apartments, hotels, villas and cottages. All the big chains (Hilton, Radisson, Intercontinental/Holiday Inn) have hotels on the island. The country houses have been completely refurbished to offer modern self-contained facilities with private pools set in secluded courtyards, complemented by hotels offering a wide range of dining, sporting and social activities.

Unless you only plan to spend time in major cities, you’ll need a car. Car rentals are cheap, so it really doesn’t matter where you stay.

From the golden sand beaches of Mellieha Bay to the sheer cliffs of Dingli. From the prehistoric temples of Ggantija and the medieval city of Mdina to the vibrant nightlife of Paceville. Everything you are looking for for the perfect start to your life together is right here in the Maltese Islands.
