Weddings in Gibraltar Gibraltar’s appeal as a romantic location is not new – during the 1950s Hollywood stars Lawrence Harvey and Margaret Leighton were one of the first high profile couples to ‘tie-the-knot’ on the Rock. In 1969 the biggest media sensation was the marriage of John Lennon to Yoko Ono and soon after followed many celebrities, including James Bond, Sean Connery (who married on the Rock twice) and Roger Moore who chose Gibraltar for his honeymoon.
Price Charles and Lady Diana also commenced their honeymoon from the Rock of Gibraltar in July 1981.
Today hundreds of couples are travelling to Gibraltar to exchange their vows and get married on the Rock of Gibraltar. As Gibraltar is a popular location for getting married it is wise to plan well in advance. Local marriage law does not contain any residential requirements and is therefore a simple procedure. A Gibraltar marriage is also recognised worldwide.
Recent legislation permits a marriage Registrar to marry a man and woman at an alternative location outside of the Registry Office, if required. The following venues are approved to carry out civil weddings: Botanical Gardens The Alameda Botanical Gardens were developed in 1816 for the purpose of providing civilians with an area of beauty for rest and relaxation. Today the gardens have developed into the Botanical Gardens. Wedding services are permitted in "the Dell", an Italian style garden laid out by a Genoese gardener in 1842.
The Garrison Library The Garrison Library in the town centre was established in 1793 and houses some of the finest books published in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Mons Calpe Suite at the Cable Car Station at the top of the Rock is not only one of the most unusual venues to choose to exchange your vows, but also offers stunning panoramic views across the European coast and to Africa.
The Mount The Mount, which was built in 1797, was formerly the official residence of the senior officer of the Royal Navy in Gibraltar. It is today an officially listed building, which boasts fascinating gardens.

Four of Gibraltar’s hotels, the Caleta Hotel, the O’Callaghan Eliott Hotel, the Rock Hotel and the Queen’s Hotel are approved for civil marriages and offer assistance.
