CIVIL CEREMONIES

Civil ceremonies can be celebrated in the Marriage Registry itself in Valletta, our Capital City.
A Civil Marriage may also take place at any other place open to the public and which the Registrar accepts as appropriate. Such venues that have been accepted as appropriate are: Wedding Halls,Conference Rooms and other public place areas within hotel precincts.  It must be pointed out that Civil Marriage are NOT conducted at pool side areas or on private beaches or on sea e.g on chartered yachts or boats.

Religous Ceremonies

Religous Marriages are celebrated in the church of one denomination. 
One is advised to make certain of one's place of marriage before requesting the publication of Banns.  One should also keep in mind that, in order to change the place of marriage from that originally notified, the Marriage Registry needs at least three weeks' notice.

On arriving in Malta we, as your wedding coordinators will accompany you to the Registry office to finalise matters.  When calling at the Registry you will be required to produce your passports.

Capacity to marry
Finally your attention is kindly drawn to Section 18 of the Marriage Act, 1975 which states that

A marriage whether celebrated in Malta or abroad, shall be valid of all purposes of law in Malta if
(a) as regards the formalities thereof, the formalities requied for its validity by the law of the country where the marriage is celebrated are observed
(b) as regards the capacity of the parties, each of the persons to be married is, by law of his or her respective domicile, capable of contracting marriage.
Because of this Section of the law, may we also remind you that, should it be necessary to comply with any marriage laws in order that your marriage may also conform to the laws of your country of dimicile, it is your responsibility to take care of such requirements.

Catholic Marriage

It is easy for a Catholic to get marred in a Catholic Church in Malta. The Parish can help plan and have the wedding any any church of your choice or we can suggest venues.
Couples intending to have a wedding outside their country have to go through the same procedures as if they are administering the sacrament in their own country.  They have to follow this procedure.
