There are no non-stop flights from the United States; from New York allow about 8 to 9 hours via Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc, which hubs there. From Canada, Royal Air Maroc operates a seasonal non-stop from Montreal to Casablanca, then a short connection to Marrakech. Most North American couples ask guests to allow a travel day on each side.

An intimate wedding at Riad Vendôme means exclusive hire of a private 12-room riad in the Marrakech medina, with a pool patio, panoramic rooftop terrace (60 guests), traditional hammam, and personalised all-inclusive catering by our in-house team. Maximum 20 guests for the most intimate ceremonies — or up to 60 for the evening reception. Eric has organised over 500 events since 2011 and handles everything personally. From €2,800 for a complete intimate wedding weekend.
Intimate wedding in Marrakech at Riad Vendôme: ceremony for 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 guests in a riad of the 18th century. Ceremony in the patio or on the rooftop Atlas view. Gourmet dinner Moroccan. Accommodation for all guests (17 rooms). Eric coordinates all suppliers.
The intimate wedding — 15 to 30 of your nearest and dearest — is the strong trend of recent years. And Marrakech is the ideal destination for this format: a private riad in the heart of the medina, a ceremony on the rooftop at sunset, a gourmet dinner around the pool, and all your guests gathered under one roof. No logistical stress, no car convoy — everything happens in your riad.
An intimate wedding lets you share every moment with the guests who truly matter. No table of 200 where the newlyweds barely speak to anyone. Here, you have time to enjoy every guest, every moment. The per-guest budget is higher, but the total budget is much lower than a traditional wedding — and the quality of experience is incomparable.

Saturday morning — The preparations — Hammam and massage for the bride and her loved ones. Hairdresser and make-up artist at the riad. Guests enjoy the pool or the neighbourhood.
Saturday 18:00 — The ceremony — On the rooftop, facing the sunset, with the Koutoubia and Atlas Mountains as backdrop. Symbolic or religious ceremony. A suspended moment.
Saturday 20:00 — The dinner — Around the illuminated pool. Gourmet Moroccan menu: mechoui, pastilla, royal couscous. Tiered cake. Toasts and speeches.
Saturday 22:00 → aube — Gnaoua orchestra, belly dancer, music. Party on the rooftop.
Sunday — Farewell brunch. Photos group. Departure.

Most Marrakech wedding venues are hotels or event spaces shared with other guests. At Riad Vendôme, the entire riad is exclusively yours — no strangers, no noise from other events, no shared spaces. Your 20 closest people have a 12-room boutique hotel entirely to themselves for the duration of your wedding weekend.
The patio with its private pool becomes your ceremony space. The rooftop terrace — 300m² with views over the Marrakech medina and Atlas mountains — becomes your reception. The hammam becomes a pre-ceremony spa retreat. Chef Naima prepares a personalised Moroccan wedding feast. Eric coordinates every detail from the florist to the music.
