Same Sex Marriage accepted in Malta!
alta has become the first Ionian Weddings destination to legislate marriage equality.
The Maltese parliament approved a new law on 14 April 2014 to recognise same sex partnership with marriage, including allowing gay couples to adopt. This is the capital of the predominantly Roman Catholic Mediterranean island where divorce was only legalised three years ago.
The relationship of gay couples will receive formal recognition by the State in a union that will enjoy the same rights and obligations of marriage. Gay marriages contracted abroad will also be recognised by the State. Malta has become the 22nd European country to legally recognise same-sex unions, according to Ilga-Europe, a gay advocacy group.
There are many venues which allow same sex marriages, please see our website for a full list of wedding venues.
We have a wide range of wedding venues for you to choose from in Malta. From Palaces, to Castles, to Farmhouse’s to Vineyards. Here is my personal top 5 venues:
Maltese Palace
The Maltese Palace is a fantastic venue for your ceremony and reception in Malta because it has an endless amount of character, class and grandeur. The Palace offers a variety of rooms, terrace’s and gardens to hire privately. Each room enchanted with different theme’s to suit everybody’s personal wedding dreams.
