The most glamorous city of the moment
Yves Saint Laurent chose Marrakech as his retreat, need I say more? The red city enchants with its timeless charm, but the color of the typical houses is just the introduction.
Wandering through the souks, you’ll be overwhelmed by the explosion of scents that follow one another from one shop to the next, in a continuous flow of colors, people, and handmade goods. You get the feeling of being in a place beyond time, where anything is possible.
Over the past ten years, Marrakech has become a must-visit destination, blending its traditional charm with the comforts necessary for a rejuvenating vacation. Life is vibrant even after sunset. You can enjoy the lively Jemaa El Fna square, where the scene changes from morning to night, providing unforgettable emotions. Don’t miss sipping mint tea at sunset from one of the many terraces overlooking the square.
Among the best places to stay within the medina are the riads, historic residences restored into boutique hotels where you can find the slow, timeless atmosphere typical of the Mediterranean. Marrakech will surprise you at every moment.
Why choose Marrakech for your dream wedding
It’s the perfect city to fall in love. Feel unique as you wander its maze of tiny streets, rediscovering what really matters: human relationships, friendship, and love. Your guests can be pampered with relaxing Hammam experiences after a day of shopping filled with endless bargaining and great deals, before indulging in a delicious Moroccan dinner.
The desert is magnetic, and its call is impossible to ignore. Many opportunities await you, from dining in the desert as the sun sets behind the dunes or mountains, to spending a romantic night under the stars. There are many reasons why Marrakech is the most glamorous city on the continent.
Riads offer the most exclusive experience, and choosing one of these private homes means having an intimate and intense wedding. The city goes beyond the typical hotels, where luxury is an exclusive concept savored as soon as you close the door to the bustling souks and immerse yourself in a bubble of Moroccan tradition, often combined with European taste. It’s the perfect mix—ideal for saying “I do!”
Enchanting riads for an intimate “I do”
The typical architecture and small size of riads are their key characteristics. In fact, the Arabic name means “leisure.” Riads are the Moroccan interpretation of celebration, a deep way to express a ceremony through local culture.
Riads usually feature a garden, though the most beautiful ones are built around a hidden pool. The zellige tiles—ceramic tiles forming mosaics and typical of Moroccan architecture—create simply incredible settings.
Riads are an ideal solution for smaller guest lists, providing the perfect backdrop for a more intimate and romantic experience. For larger weddings, luxury hotels offer breathtaking alternatives.
