WEDDINGS
Our wedding in Malta Laura and Scott Capindale from Lincoln, UK, relive their Maltese wedding. “After getting engaged in one of the most beautiful villages in France, on the banks of the River Dordogne, Scott and I knew we wanted a romantic, intimate wedding to match this occasion. When we returned home our research began, initially looking at venues in France and Italy until we were persuaded by several sources to consider Malta. From here we stumbled across a wedding planner, Sarah Young, who quickly responded to our email with a host of options. “We had never been to Malta before but were so impressed with Sarah’s efficiency and suggestions that we arranged to visit St Julian’s in May last year. From the instant we arrived, our hearts were captured
by the blend of village charm with the plethora of cosmopolitan bars and restaurants, and the luxurious Portomaso marina. After meeting Sarah and viewing the sea view villa we had selected as a potential venue, we had no doubt that this was exactly what we were looking for, particularly with the almost guaranteed sunshine! “We booked our wedding for June 2014, and prior to this Sarah gave us lots of ideas and made the whole planning process so easy. We arrived four days before our wedding day and met with Sarah and her team again to finalise the arrangements and legal duties which took all the stress away, knowing that everything was in hand. Our ceremony took place in a
private outdoor area with spectacular views of the sea and a clear blue sky, followed by a stand up reception with champagne and canapés. “We then dined al fresco on a private terrace with 17 guests, all of whom fell in love with Malta just as we did and described the whole experience as exceptional. Everything from the flowers, the food, the photographer and the guitarist to the hairdresser was perfect. Sarah and her team managed every aspect of our wedding, paying great attention to detail. We enjoyed every second of our special day – both Malta and Sarah Young exceeded our every expectation and we will definitely be back again soon.”
