A sunny, accessible destination

One major wedding-planning stressor is the weather! Every couple dreams of a sunny day to enjoy outdoor celebrations. In Marrakech, you can put those worries aside. On average, the city enjoys 8 hours of sunshine per day, with afternoon temperatures averaging 29°C in spring and autumn—all just a short flight away from Europe. Plus, airlines are currently rescheduling flights to this destination at very affordable prices.

Magic venues for all budgets

No matter your background, culture, or budget... whether you dream of glitz and champagne or a simple ceremony, Marrakech is filled with beautiful, serene spots to suit any budget. It's up to you whether to host the best day of your life in a riad in the medina, a 5-star palace, a luxury villa in the palm grove, a charming hotel facing the Atlas Mountains, or right in the middle of the Agafay desert. Dreaming is allowed.

Enchanting decor and entertainment

With warm colors, twinkling lanterns and candles, beds of flowers, and a mysterious, dimly-lit atmosphere, the magic of the Orient is sure to wow your guests. And for the evening's entertainment, why not hire belly dancers, fire breathers, or a fireworks professional? The surprise factor is guaranteed.

Stunning activities and landscapes

If you're bringing your loved ones all the way to Morocco, make it worth their while. Explore the medina and Majorelle Garden, take a carriage or hot-air balloon ride, or go horseback or camel riding... There are plenty of activities to keep your guests entertained. And surprise them with the diversity and beauty of the city's landscapes and surrounding areas. From desert to palm oasis, dunes, mountains, and opulent palaces, your 'welcome guests' evening or 'next-day brunch' promises to be extraordinary.
