Will our Marriage in Malta be legal?
Yes….Marriages in Malta are subject to the provisions of the Marriage Act, 1975. The Marriage of UK and Irish citizens conducted in Malta is legally binding under UK and Irish law. This is also the case citizens from most other countries in the world wishing to marry in Malta. Please get in touch if you need further information.
Your marriage in a Church or a Civil Ceremony in your chosen Venue, will be conducted by an official Marriage Registrar or Priest in the case of a Church wedding.
What type of Ceremony can we have?
Weddings in Malta can organise Civil Ceremonies, Religious Marriages, Blessings and Renewal of Vows and as of April 2014 Civil Partnerships. Malta has a church for every day of the year, from beautiful quaint countryside chapels to elegant cathedrals each one unique and steeped in history will leave you spoilt for choice. Malta’s religion is Roman Catholic but there are Churches for all faiths represented in Malta for you to marry in.
Civil Ceremonies can take place at a number of beautiful locations in Malta or Gozo please see our Wedding Venue’s page for more information.
What language is the Ceremony conducted in?
Wedding Ceremonies in Malta whether in Church or a Civil Wedding are conducted in English making it even easier to get married in Malta. You are required to have at least two witnesses present who must be at minimum of eighteen years old.
What language is our Marriage Certificate in?
Unlike other countries, in Malta your Marriage certificates are issued in English. Which means there is no hassle or additional cost of having to have your Certificates officially translated when you return home.
Are there any Residency Requirements?
No…..It is advisable you are here at least two days prior to your Wedding to go through the details of your Wedding and meet with the Registrar who will be marrying you or the priest but there are no minimum residency requirements for getting married in Malta.
How far in advance should we book our Wedding in Malta?
We would certainly recommend if you have your heart set on a particular date or venue that you get in touch sooner rather than later to ensure availability. Traditionally weekends are busy as all Maltese Weddings take place on a weekend so you are looking at a weekend date you should look to start making arrangements as soon as possible. Week days have better availability so if you are flexible there is generally availability. Remember you will probably want your loved ones and special people in your lives in attendance on the Big day so the more notice you can give them allows them to get the time off and get flights and hotels booked which can be done almost up to a year in advance with some airlines and all hotels.
Weddings in Malta will guide you through the complete process and will present all the required paperwork on your behalf. We will also arrange appointments for you to meet the Registrar or the priest who will be marrying you when you arrive in Malta.
