Destination wedding couples love Castello Zamittello for its unique backdrop, ideal location, and late party hours.
The Romanesque architecture of the castle welcomes guests in grand fashion.

Historic Backdrop and Outdoor Spaces
Symbolic ceremonies can be held in the courtyard, as well as seated dinners. Tables and chairs are set up and reflect the couple’s wedding colors, theme, and style. Trees surrounding the courtyard are decorated with twinkling lights and lanterns, adding to the romantic vibe. Read More
For those who want a religious ceremony, there are two stunning churches only minutes away, one of which is the popular Mdina Cathedral. This Roman Catholic masterpiece dates back to the 12th century and contains many artifacts, paintings, and frescoes.
Idyllic Location
Castello Zamittello sits on the outskirts of the country village of Mgarr. From the rustic landscape a road appears that leads to a sandy beach. During the cocktail hour, many couples take the two minute walk with their photographer to capture wedding portraits
by the sea. Sailing boats drift through the water and impressive high cliffs loom in the background. It all combines to create the perfect setting for a romantic photoshoot.
Extended Event Hours
One of the most popular features of Castello Zamittello is the venue’s long party hours. Malta law prohibits most places from playing outdoor music after 11 p.m. and only a few venues in the area allow it. Castello is one of those rare places where music can go on until 2 or 3 a.m. If music and dancing is on the couple’s priority list, Castello is the best place to be.
Catering for a Formal Seated Dinner
This venue has an exclusive caterer and is one of the best options for a sit-down plated or buffet dinner. Many caterers in Malta are only equipped to serve local couples who prefer stand-up receptions, but Castello’s in-house crew is completely equipped to set up and serve a formal or buffet seated dinner.
Castello allows fireworks, which can be shot from the castle roof. Many couples take the opportunity to have a fireworks display during the cake cutting or first dance, which adds a wow factor to the moment and often surprises guests in the most magical way.
The castle also provides dressing rooms for the wedding party, as well as safe, private spaces for children and kid’s entertainment.
