This magnificent Palace with its beautiful surrounding gardens has been a family home since the middle of the 19th century, when it was acquired from the Parisio family by baroness's great grandfather the Marquis Giuseppe Scicluna. It was he who enriched it with great style and opulence - turning it into the great stately home that it now is and one of the premier heritage attractions in Malta.

The Palace and gardens also make a fabulous venue for weddings. Our popular daytime restaurant Caffe Luna is now open on selected evenings under the new title 'Luna di Sera' together with the 'Luna Lounge Cocktail Bar'.

PALAZZO PARISIO - where Fairytale Weddings come true

Palazzo Parisio reigns supreme in Malta as a venue for the most romantic of weddings - offering a stunning backdrop for exotic wedding receptions or civil weddings - combining romance, style, exclusivity and excellence. There is nothing quite like it on the island and it is also one of the largest venues, catering for up to 1000 guests.

An Historic Venue:

When you choose Palazzo Parisio for your wedding or wedding reception, you will have total exclusivity. That means that you will have sole use of the Palace and its magnificent gardens for you, your family and guests. Choose from the grandeur of the ornate 24-carat gilded and mirrored Ballroom or some of the surrounding historic rooms, to the beauty of the classic baroque gardens, which provide the perfect location for summer weddings. You'll be spoilt for choice with romantic backdrops for those all-important wedding photos!

Civil Weddings

Though church ceremonies remain firm favourites in Malta, civil ceremonies are on the increase both with local couples and also with an ever-increasing number of foreign visitors who wish to combine the exchange of vows with a honeymoon.

Possibilities for civil weddings at the Palace are endless - whether one opts for a simple ceremony in the gilded Ballroom or on the upstairs open air terrace, followed perhaps by Champagne and canapes, or a full-blown Buffet or silver service Gala Dinner for friends and family in the gorgeous Palace gardens, this fairytale venue remains exclusively yours for the evening. You may therefore utilise any area of the Palace, including the lavishly decorated Ballroom, the elegant Sala Lombarda or the lovely gardens for those all-important photos.

Fees are charged for the exclusive use of Palazzo Parisio and Gardens outside public (excluding Luna di Sera, the Luna Lounge & Cellars).

Civil Ceremonies can take place Monday to Sunday between 15:00 hrs and 18:00 hrs.

Civil Ceremony followed by Dinner: Venue Fees are based on 5 hours rental and there is no minimum as to the number of guests.

Wedding Cakes are available in Almond, Fruit or Chocolate with a choice of one, two, three tiers or more - prices on request. Silver-coated Almond Perlini and Pasta Reale, plus 2 Witness Cakes are also provided on a complimentary basis, when ordering a three tier cake.

We offer special hassle-free wedding packages including flights, accommodation and other wedding arrangements to Palazzo Parisio.
