Most major religions are also represented on the Maltese islands,\nalbeit in small numbers. Choices, however, are not limited to religious\nweddings. One can choose a civil ceremony, a ceremony for the renewal of vows,\nor a religious blessing of an already existing marriage. LGBTQ marriages are\nfully legal under Maltese law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Malta, any religious (or independent)\nwedding ceremony needs to be preceded by registration at the Marriage Registrar\u2019s\nOffice. There is no requirement to be a resident of the Maltese islands. The\nmain list of applicable rules and regulations to get married in Malta and Gozo\ncan be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.identitymalta.com\/services\/marriage-registration\/#civil-marriages\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice of possible venues for wedding ceremonies is very wide. Obviously churches or other religious gathering spaces for a religious wedding, but also wedding halls, hotels and restaurants, beaches and sites of natural beauty, conference rooms or unique traditional farmhouses. It is possible to conclude a marriage at the Registrar\u2019s office, or to have the Registrar officiate at a marriage ceremony in any other suitable location (notable exclusions are private beaches and poolsides). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Religious weddings can be concluded by the\nrespective religious communities where own rules and regulations apply. It is\nadvisable to contact the community well in advance, to make sure all the\nnecessary paperwork is ready by the wedding date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most quality big hotels on the island offer\nwedding packages and will also help with guiding through the formalities and\npaperwork. There are many choices for a wedding reception, such as a buffet\n(which is more typically Gozitan) or a sit-down dinner in a quality hotel or an\naward-winning restaurant. One can choose to have a more rustic ceremony and a\nreception in a winery, or a classic wedding at the picturesque Citadel with its\n360-degree views over the whole island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an intimate wedding limited to only the\nclosest friends or family, one can consider a traditional farmhouse. Many\nGozitan farmhouses are several hundred years old, typically tucked away in a\nquiet location, with massive limestone walls and old original beams. They often\nhave a pool and a rooftop terrace, and sometimes additional features such as a\ngym, sauna or Jacuzzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever one\u2019s choices or intentions, Gozo\nis sure to offer some unforgettable memories of a special day. Many couples\nhave also chosen to spend their honeymoon on the romantic island. There are\nmany choices of romantic accommodation: idyllic converted farmhouses, coastal\nretreats or understated luxury hotels that blend in perfectly with their\nsurroundings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gozo, with its romantic beaches, crystal clear waters, stunning views and 300 days of sunshine is a perfect Mediterranean wedding [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[111],"class_list":["post-1299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-weddings-in-gozo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gozo: A Perfect Wedding Destination - Gozo &amp; Malta Travel Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gozo: A Perfect Wedding Destination - Gozo &amp; Malta Travel Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Gozo, with its romantic beaches, crystal clear waters, stunning views and 300 days of sunshine is a perfect Mediterranean wedding [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gozo &amp; Malta Travel Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-06-21T17:23:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-21T17:23:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/romance-beach-2.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mayjo-gozo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mayjo-gozo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/\",\"name\":\"Gozo: A Perfect Wedding Destination - Gozo &amp; Malta Travel Blog\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-06-21T17:23:27+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-21T17:23:48+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/#\/schema\/person\/e861e3d750f9aff140316f736a9bdd05\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/gozo-a-perfect-wedding-destination\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Gozo: A Perfect Wedding Destination\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.mayjocarhire.com\/mayjo-blog\/\",\"name\":\"Gozo &amp; Malta Travel Blog\",\"description\":\"Love Gozo.
