The tiniest island in the Mediterranean, Malta does not take up much space on the map, yet it can leave a significant mark on those who choose to get married on this island.

From the history to the ornate buildings, the weather and the awe-inspiring fireworks, here are reasons why getting married on the tiniest island in the Mediterranean can turn your wedding into an unforgettable affair.

The weather – The sun is never gone for too long, even on the coldest January days. With high temperatures in summer, perfectly warm spring days and cold winters where the sun is still shining, the weather in Malta is often favorable for weddings.

The old and the new city – Malta has two cities, both of which can turn your wedding into an unforgettable affair. The old city, Mdina, bears winding roads and bastions that are hundreds of years old. It has a haunting cathedral that photographs in a spectacular way, and very few cars are allowed inside the city, so you can roam its streets quite freely. On the other hand, the new city, Valletta, is a bustling spot with a number of old churches and one stunning cathedral, all leading to the main streets, so your wedding party can walk the streets and be cheered by the locals, most of whom adore weddings.

The fireworks – More than a mere show, Maltese fireworks are a testament of true workmanship that comes from a real passion, despite how dangerous it is to create fireworks. Ending the night with spectacular fireworks will give your wedding the awe-inspiring ending that will leave a mark on your guests for years to come.
