Your wedding day is one of the happiest moments of your life — and it makes sense to want it somewhere beautiful, simple, and stress-free. That’s where Gibraltar comes in. With blue skies, sea views, and minimal paperwork, it’s no wonder couples from all over the world choose this sunny little spot to say “I do.”
And the best part? You only need to be in Gibraltar for 36 hours for your marriage to be legally binding. Yes, it really is that easy.
🕒 Why is it so quick to get married in Gibraltar?
Gibraltar weddings are all about simplicity. You’ll have a legally binding civil ceremony, which means:
It’s non-religious
It’s recognised internationally
It’s open to all nationalities, religions, and couples
The only requirement? You must be in Gibraltar 36 hours before your ceremony, just enough time to present your documents and collect your Special Licence.
📄 What needs to be done before the wedding?
Before you get married, you’ll need to apply for a marriage licence. Don’t worry — it’s straightforward, and our team at Hour Weddings is here to guide you through every step.
You can apply for your licence any time between 3 months and 1 day before your wedding.
We’ll help you collect the right documents.
We’ll even support you through the process at the registry office if needed.
