Why se marier in Marrakech ?
A wedding in Marrakech promises a magical setting you won't find anywhere in Europe: Morocco's golden light, zellige and tadelakt patios, rooftop terraces under a starry sky, the scents of orange and spices. Add pleasant temperatures almost year-round, direct flights just 3 hours from Paris and a reception cost 2 to 3 times lower than in France — and you understand why more and more couples choose Marrakech.
Riad Vendôme offers an intimate and exclusive setting for weddings of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 or 40 guests — the ideal size (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 guests).

Detailed Wedding Budget in Marrakech
One of the great advantages of a wedding in Marrakech is the value for money. Here is a realistic budget for a 30-guest wedding over 3 days / 2 nights:
| Poste | Detail | Cost total | Par guest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riad private hire | 17 rooms × 2 nights | 2 600 £ | 87 £ |
| Dinner de gala | Gourmet menu + service | 1 800 £ | 60 £ |
| Orchestre + DJ | Gnaoua + DJ pro (evening) | 500 £ | 17 £ |
| Decoration | Fleurs, candles, voilages, banderoles | 400 £ | 13 £ |
| Photographe | Couverture day trip + retouchs | 300 £ | 10 £ |
| Spa bride | Hammam + massage 2:00 (bride + 4 proches) | 250 £ | — |
| Dinner veille | Dinner de welcome convivial | 900 £ | 30 £ |
| Brunch lendemain | Brunch Moroccan complete | 450 £ | 15 £ |
| Transfers | Airport return tous guests | 300 £ | 10 £ |
| TOTAL | 7 500 £ | 250 £ | |
This budget does not include guests' flights (£80-150 return per person). In comparison, an equivalent wedding in France (30 guests, private venue, caterer, DJ, photographer) costs a minimum of £15,000-25,000. Marrakech offers the same level of service for two to three times less.
