Feedback from some of our clients who opted for a beach wedding in Malta
Angie and Scott - Imagine saying your ‘I do’s’, few meters away from the sea with your feet soaked in hot golden sands. That was exactly the setting that was created for me for my wedding. Needless to say it was the perfect setting and we as well as all our guests loved it.
Sinead and Peter – We got married under a gazebo on a sandy beach at sunset. It was fabulous. I walked down a red carpet, which was laid down for me over the sand. The weather, the food and the overall atmosphere was chic yet informal.
