Malta
Proving to be one of the most popular destination wedding venues for Irish couples, Malta
offers everything you could want on your special day.
The main area we feature in our brochure is St. Julian's. This area was once a small fishing
village, it is now renowned for its great location and abundance of entertainment options, from intimate bars to
vibrant nightlife. Two nearby bays - Spinola Bay & Balluta Bay boast an array of delightful bars and restaurants,
romantically set over looking the sea. St. Julians or San Gilgan, as the locals would say is only 25 minutes from Luga
Airport. We can also offer weddings in Valletta, Mellehia, Sliema & Naxxar.
You may be surprised to hear that a wedding in Malta is very straight-forward to arrange and a lot more cost
effective than getting married here in Ireland. Furthermore, by letting us assist you with your arrangements, you
can relax and enjoy your big day to the full.

The most popular Spanish destination for a wedding abroad is the region of Andalusia. Areas here include the
fantastic coastal resort of Mijas, & Benalmadena. Hot days, long nights and an abundance of restaurants and bars

Rome
We work with three Churches in Rome. All are different in design and character. The most popular Church for Irish
couples celebrating their wedding is the San Silvestro in Capite Church. This Church is located in the very heart of
Rome, close to the Trevi Fountain making it easily accessible for fantastic wedding photos after your ceremony.
We can also arrange weddings in St. Isadores and St. Patricks Churches. Please contact us for more information on
these Churches.
St. Patricks Church
St Isadores Church
San Silvestro Church
When choosing the clothing which you or your witnesses will wear during the wedding
ceremony, you should bear in mind that you are expected to dress modestly. Dresses,
which are low cut at the front and the back are not considered appropriate. Guests who
are travelling with you should also be informed of this requirement. Italians dress conservatively in church. The golden rule is 'When in Rome do as the Romans do'. Please
show all due respect for Church regulation in this matter. Guests who dress inappropriately will be asked to wear a light wrap before entering the Church.
