Gozo: The dream wedding destination

Back to Blogs

Gozo is not only a holiday destination. Over the years, it has become a dream wedding destination. Beyond the picturesque landscapes, charming villages, romantic chapels and stunning beaches, Gozo is also an ideal wedding destination because it has a mild climate and is geared to provide gracious hospitality, unrivalled event planning and personalised service through local vendors and suppliers for any wedding. Whether you’re thinking of grand celebrations or intimate settings, your wedding in Gozo will be a real vacation with lasting memories.  

 

Here’s some food for thought if you’re considering exchanging your vows at a dream wedding destination. 

Breathtaking backdrops and wedding venues

Gozo beckons on many fronts. However, when it comes to scenery and outdoor venues, it is stellar. Get wed in Gozo on a sandy beach or at one of the rocky inlets, maybe somewhere along the coast or on top of a cliff. Sunsets are spectacular in Gozo. Beyond that, numerous coastal towers can provide the perfect historical backdrop for the ultimate wedding in Gozo. For more quaint and romantic ideas, consider the countryside chapels like the San Dimitri Chapel set out in the open country or the Lunzjata Valley Chapel tucked into the rocks in the valley. If you’re thinking nautical, opt for the Lourdes Chapel overlooking the harbour and for a countryside theme, you can even choose to get married in a vineyard. Gozo weddings often involve grand traditional events, and many churches echo with different vibes according to their setting and decor. If your wedding inspiration is more elegant and elevated, you can consider saying ‘I do’ at the Citadel or Fort Chambray. Gozo is also home to several wedding halls, restaurants and venues specially designated for events, parties and ceremonies, many of which can handle indoor and outdoor party options.

The promise of sunshine days

Think of the above venues and picture you and your loved one basking in the sunlight. Gozo weddings are blessed with beautiful days thanks to Gozo’s mild climate. This has a strong appeal. Many believe that the best wedding seasons in Malta and Gozo are spring, summer and autumn, which extends well into November. While it gets cold in the winter, most days are still sunny enough for exceptional photos. The mild weather also means that the bridal party and guests can enjoy a wholesome holiday on the island of Gozo.   

Personalised service & gracious hospitality

Service and hospitality will either make or break destination weddings. Gozo’s vendors and suppliers lack nothing in terms of providing outstanding service. However, it is essential to have clear communication and discussions to ensure that your requirements and budget are well understood. Organising a wedding without ever meeting the vendors can be more challenging, so take time to find a good local wedding planner, research vendors and suppliers and be clear about your intentions. Do not leave it to chance if you have particular traditions or elements you want to rope into your ceremony. On Gozo, you will find a variety of wedding vendors. Wedding and event planners, photographers, caterers, singers and musician ensembles, florists, car-hire and transport services, wedding favours suppliers, makeup artists and hairdressers and furniture and decor rentals are all part of the scene. If you’re inviting a party of guests, you also need to consider the lodging. In Gozo, everywhere is within fifteen minutes of distance, so nowhere is far, and your guests will have a wide array of accommodation options. Luxurious resorts and boutique hotels, clusters of holiday homes, farmhouses and self-catering accommodations will suit different budgets. 

Weddings with memorable holidays & quality time

Destination weddings are not only about the wedding celebrations. The allure of a destination wedding is also about the excitement of getting away to create unique memories with family and friends. Undoubtedly, a destination wedding in Gozo is also a great adventure. Gozo offers a range of activities and attractions for guests to enjoy, turning the celebration into a highly appealing mini-vacation. A memorable Gozo wedding destination means ensuring enough downtime for those who want to do their own thing, but remember that you are in charge of organising the master schedule. Some wedding parties organise welcome dinners, while others plan rehearsal dinners. The climax of the destination wedding is the wedding ceremony itself, but it is vital to dedicate time to discovering the island and even unwinding. 

If you’re considering exchanging your vows in a beautiful and romantic destination, you need to get wed in Gozo. If you have flamboyant ideas about your wedding destination, Gozo can be the answer, and if, on the other hand, you’re after a low-cost elopement, Gozo can be an intriguing, uniquely intimate dream wedding destination, too. Whatever the case, rest assured you’ll have memories in your heart for a lifetime.
