Whether you’re getting married, renewing your vows or taking the leap and proposing to your partner, the Maltese Islands is the place to do it and here’s 10 reasons why, why from the expert wedding planners, I Do Knot.
Good weather all year round
Malta is one of the few destinations that has more than 300 sunny days a year. How could you not be happy at a place where the sun is always shining, the people are always smiling and the love in the air is never dying? If you're looking for somewhere with pretty much guaranteed weather, Malta is the ideal destination.
A variety of settings
Does the idea of a beach wedding under the summer sun with the sea breeze in your hair and the sound of waves on the background attract you? Or are you more of a nature lover opting for a garden wedding? Have you always wanted a winter wedding, because of all the charm that winter holds, but the low temperatures have discouraged you? Did you even know it was possible to get married at sea? You can have all that and more in Malta. With a variety of venues and the mild climate of the Maltese islands, anything and everything is possible.
Malta is a family friendly destination
If there are children in your party, don't panic, because there are countless possibilities for your young guests to have fun on the little Maltese archipelago. From parks and playgrounds to aquariums, toy museums and sunny beaches, kids as well as adults are bound to be entertained throughout their whole stay.
Unique & exotic scenery
In only 316 square meters, the Maltese Islands hold a number of unique and exotic attractions that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. An otherworldly feeling embraces you as soon as you step on the grounds. The magnificent Azure Window, marvelled by many for its natural beauty, the crystal clear waters of The Blue Lagoon that look like they're taken out of a painting and the rustic charm of Popeye Village are only a few of the attractions the Maltese islands offer.
Romance is everywhere
If you didn’t pop the question in Malta, you’ll probably wish you’d had, once you see how many gorgeous spots are scattered all over its grounds. The Upper Barrakka Gardens in the evening; Għajn Tuffieħa Tower, overlooking the bay at sunset or night time in summer; the Valletta breakwater bridge; Dingli cliffs…and that’s to name a few. Wherever you turn, there’s a unique spot, waiting for you to make it special.
365 churches
In such a small area, the Maltese Islands enjoy about 365 churches – one for every day of the year – all unique and gorgeous in their own way. Therefore, if you’re after a full-blown traditional church ceremony as if you were at home, there is nothing to stop you from having the wedding you’ve always dreamed of here too. Not to mention keeping your family happy too!
English is the official language
A big plus of the Maltese Islands is language. You can not only communicate freely with the locals in your spare time, but your wedding ceremony and documents will also be in English. That saves you money from having to translate them later on, as well as the inconvenience of having a translator distracting you during your once-in-a-lifetime ceremony.
It’s a liberal country
Same-sex marriage has been legal on the islands since 2013, making it one of the countries where love is accepted and celebrated unconditionally. So any same-sex couples looking to tie the knot abroad, this is one the spots you will most definitely be welcome.
Top Maltese dress designers
It could be really stressful to travel abroad with your wedding dress, but you can save yourself all this worry by having a custom-made wedding dress here in Malta! And not just any dress, but one made by top Maltese designers. Not only will your dress be unique and one of a kind, but you’ll get to be a part of the whole process of designing it.
