Getting Married in Gibraltar in 2024


CONTACT US FOR A FREE DOCUMENTS LIST - HERE

Gibraltar is always such a special venue that everyone loves..  Renowned throughout the world as a wonderful place for people to marry quickly and easily.  As the marriages are non religious legally binding civil ceremonies that are recognised all over the world it is a wonderful location for all religions, situations, sexuality, and requirements.  You need only stay 36 hours - just enough time to present your documents and then marry.

No wonder  it now attracts international and foreign couples from around the world to marry abroad easily, and each day throughout the year people for all corners of the globe are married in these amazing surroundings.

If there is space & availability we can organise you a wedding very quickly - within days weeks, although usually for a registry office wedding you need at least 4-6 weeks leadtime. For a speciality wedding there is usually more availability and the registrars are available weekends and evenings. So if you want a Saturday wedding then Speciality is going to be your best option.

Mondays in the registry office have best availability as the document presentation is the business day before (the Friday). So for best chance of a fast wedding, if that is what you need, do see if you can make your travel plans work for a long weekend, arrive Thursday night and marry on the Monday.

And if you use your time wisely that is all you need you see, hear and make enough memories to last a life time! Have a look at the awesome Welcome to Gibraltar or  Gibraltar Tourist board sites for some great ideas of things to do whilst you are there.

The country is part of the UK but on the Southern Spanish border. You can fly directly into Gibraltar (interesting fact that our own Leanne's Dad was in charge of rebuilding the runway a few years ago so think of us when you fly in and land safely!).

You can also fly directly into Malaga and there is a bus service that leaves regularly to take you to La Linea - which is the Spanish border town of Malaga and it is a 3 minute walk from La Linea into Gibraltar over the walking land border. Or you can very easily drive from Malaga, it is quite often a fraction of the cost to fly into Spain and drive or get a bus to Gibraltar.

The weather is tropical and warm all year round as you would imagine from Southern Spain, and it is nice to see Palm Trees and such greenery with tropical plants and flowers. The language spoken is English, but there is a very strong Spanish influence, so it is the best of both worlds with culture, fusions, food, and language.


Monkeys are a big part of Gibraltar as they roam freely, and you have got to keep your balcony door closed when staying at The Rock Hotel as they are known to pop in and steal any snacks you have left laying around. Take a cable car up to Mons Calpe and you can see and hold the monkeys yourself.

Chill out in the square that is Casemates and have a sangria and some fish n chips for a real UK meets Spain experience!

If you like seafood you are spoilt for choice with options as of course Gibraltar is right on the sea! But the locals all head to The Ocean Restaurant

For those who are pure carnivores have a look at Gaucho's, where the steaks and sides are really impressive, and it has an awesome atmospheric interior which is a bit like a cave, and there is a really sweet courtyard.

If Spice is your thing the place to head is Little Bay, which is famous in Gibraltar for Curries, Cocktails and Spanish/Indian Tapas. This restaurant is also a really firm favourite recommendation from many of our Vegan couples as somewhere to try as there is a wide variety of really nice vegan dishes.

Why do we personally love Gibraltar so much? Well Leanne's family lived there for many years so she has strong connections anyway, but in addition...

You have the romanticism of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, maybe the greatest love story.

You have the wonderful geographical location, its the UK but its hot! 

You have the amazing registry office where thousands have wed. 

You are always welcome, same sex, mixed religion, whatever your situation -  Gibraltar is all about the love and one of the easiest, nicest and best places to get married in the world.
