While the world is battling COVID-19, weddings have either been pushed to next year or held in different styles than what we’re used to. Hopefully, though, come 2021 we’ll see the return of stunning destination weddings. In fact, Destination Wedding Planners Insider have named the top 21 locations for destination weddings next year – and they’ve included Malta! They spoke to wedding experts across the globe, including none other than Malta’s Sarah Young, Director at Y Plan Events Ltd Malta.
With regards to the Maltese Islands’ unique aspects and selling points, Sarah had quite a lot to divulge. “Malta has one of the best climates in the world with close to 10 months of sunshine, moderate temperatures throughout most of the year and very little rain. Thus, it offers the opportunity to get married outdoors in a variety of beautiful settings. Malta has two official languages which are Maltese and English – so the fact that everybody is English speaking makes communication easy for all.”
“Malta has a rich history dating back to more than 3,500 BC with its magnificent megalithic temples unequalled in the world, beautiful baroque citadels, ancient maritime cities and much more,” Sarah continues. “The Maltese islands are safe and easy to explore making it one of the safest destinations in Europe. Culturally rich and colourful, sun-drenched Malta surrounded by the deep blue Mediterranean Sea is the perfect choice for an unforgettable wedding. Malta is truly a gem worth visiting.”
With regards to the legal requirements, Sarah notes that it all depends on the “passport nationality, birth nationality and country of residence. So, I cannot list these down as they are tailor-made for each individual accordingly.”
Thinking of Malta as your destination wedding? Here is Sarah’s advice for picking the beautiful islands as the place at which you say ‘I do.’ “Malta is still competitively priced so one can get more out of their budget when choosing Malta as your destination country. Food is divine, very Mediterranean and of top quality so your wedding dinner will always be top-notch.”
“A destination wedding means a more intimate wedding with your special friends and family, so it gives you more time to enjoy everyone not only on the wedding day but during the duration of their stay.”
