Malta splits between its main island, where Valletta and its harbour towns hold the grand baroque venues, and Gozo, the smaller, more rural sister a short ferry away. Aim for late spring or early autumn to sidestep the high-summer heat, and take advantage of one of Europe's more workable civil-marriage processes for couples coming from abroad.
Malta packs a great deal into a small space. Valletta brings baroque grandeur, honey-coloured limestone and a harbour setting, while Gozo, a short ferry across, trades the bustle for a slower, more rural pace. Summers are long, hot and reliably dry, so most couples aim for May, June, September or October, when the heat eases and the sea is still warm.
One genuine advantage is the paperwork: Malta is among the more straightforward places in Europe for couples from abroad to marry legally, without the residency hurdles that complicate weddings across much of southern Europe, and English is an official language, which removes friction at every turn.
