The Maltese islands are an ideal setting for the perfect
wedding & honeymoon. Rich in cultural heritage, soothing
both to the eye and to the heart, the word 'romance' describes
a thousand and one locations on the island.
Malta, Gozo and Comino are blessed with sun and crystal-clear
surrounding Mediterranean waters. Enjoy a wedding and
honeymoon experience, mixed with luxurious relaxation
and exciting thrill as one discovers many culture, art
and natural treasures unique to the islands.
Religious and civil ceremonies are available in Malta
and legally recognized in Europe and North America.
A Malta wedding probably costs less than one in your
own country or in most other Mediterranean destinations.
For one thing there is an absolute lack of red tape
- all you need to complete at home is simple paperwork
giving proof that you are single. English is also one
of two national languages, so no official translations
are required for the documents to be handed in or the
marriage certificate given, and of course the ceremony
itself can easily be in English.
You can organise the wedding yourself or employ a professional
wedding company, that abound on the island. For a complete
list, visit http://www.bridemalta.com
and click on the 'Organizer' section.
Wedding transport is pure luxury as you can choose
between cars ranging from Beaufords to the latest BMWs
to Mercedes Benz or the the more stylish and comfortable
limousine. You may decide to travel by "karrozzin",
the traditional flower-decorated, Maltese horse-drawn
carriage. Or you opt to go by sea, leaving your waterfront
reception by Maltese "luzzu" fishing boat!
... and your perfect
Honeymoon!
The Maltese islands offer a wide range of accommodation
for your honeymoon requirements, varying from apartments,
hotels, villas, and farmhouses. All the major chains
(Hilton, Radisson, Intercontinental/Holiday Inn) have
hotels on the island. Farmhouses are fully converted
to provide modern, self-catering facilities with private
pools set in secluded courtyards complemented by hotels
offering you a full range of dining, sporting and social
activities.
Unless you plan to only spend time in the major towns,
you will need a car. Car rental is inexpensive, so it
doesn't really matter where you stay. For a complete
list, visit http://www.bridemalta.com and click on the
'Cars' section.
From the golden sandy beaches of Mellieha Bay to sheer
Dingli Cliffs. From the prehistoric temples of Ggantija,
and medieval city of Mdina to the throbbing night-life
of Paceville. All you seek for the perfect start to
your life together is here, in the Maltese Islands.
