Weddings in Gibraltar: making your day unique
Gibraltar is situated enticingly on the southern tip of mainland Spain. Being a peninsula, it has panoramic sea views from many points on this compact British Overseas Territory. On one side is the crystal blue water of the Mediterranean Sea and, on the other, is the more tempestuous Atlantic Ocean. These waters meet at the Strait of Gibraltar and this thriving place is dominated by the Rock, the 425m promontory, that visible for miles around. Gibraltar is iconic and weddings in Gibraltar offer unforgettable memories with this perfect backdrop.

Even January has an average of 5 hours sunshine with temperatures remaining in double digits: a perfectly acceptable amount of time for any wedding event.
