Why Choose Marrakech for your Destination Wedding?
Marrakech is one of the world’s most enchanting wedding destinations. The city offers dramatic views of the Atlas Mountains, historic palaces, lush gardens, and five-star venues. Marrakech offers couples an unforgettable setting for their big day. Whether you want a grand celebration in a Moorish palace or an intimate ceremony in a private villa, Marrakech has some of the most spectacular wedding venues in Morocco.
We visited earlier this year to experience them ourselves and created a list of eight of our favourite Marrakech wedding venues for couples planning a destination celebration.
La Mamounia
La Mamounia is one of the most iconic wedding venues in Marrakech. It combines traditional Moroccan architecture with breathtaking views over the city. It is surrounded by 17 acres of private gardens filled with olive and orange trees. At night, the grounds are beautifully lit, which creates a magical atmosphere for celebrations.
With its choice of event spaces, including the poolside terrace where light reflects off Italian marble, La Mamounia offers a spectacular backdrop for weddings. It is in a great location in Marrakech, being just minutes from the Medina. We believe that this historic five-star hotel is the perfect blend of culture, luxury, and exceptional service.

The Oberoi Marrakech
Set within 28 acres of citrus orchards, olive groves, and landscaped gardens, The Oberoi Marrakech is a luxury wedding venue that feels like a private oasis. Inspired by Moroccan palaces, the resort blends authentic design with modern grandeur, with views stretching to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.
With 84 suites and villas, it is ideal for exclusive hire weddings of up to 170 guests. Couples can host their celebration by the outdoor pool, in the tranquil gardens, or in elegant indoor spaces. Fine dining, a luxury spa, and world-class service makes The Oberoi Marrakech a firm favourite for us as one of the best wedding venues in Marrakech.

Amanjena
Amanjena, meaning peaceful paradise, is a serene retreat just minutes from Marrakech’s Medina. Surrounded by palm and olive groves, its rose-pink walls, vaulted ceilings, and Moorish arches evoke the grandeur of a sultan’s palace.
Centred around a reflective bassin, the resort features 40 luxurious pavilions and maisons accommodating up to 96 guests. Couples can choose the intimate Caidal tent set in an olive grove or the expansive gardens with Atlas Mountain views. With exclusive hire options, exceptional dining, and a luxury spa, Amanjena provides a refined and private setting for wedding celebrations in Marrakech.

Royal Mansour
Royal Mansour Marrakech is a palace built to showcase Moroccan craftsmanship and artistry. With intricate detail, serene gardens, and opulent interiors, we feel that it really reflects the very soul of Morocco.
Weddings at Royal Mansour Marrakech can be hosted in a variety of spaces. From the private gardens and the rooftop pool terrace to the spectacular Grand Riad. Menus created by Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alléno and exquisite floral design ensure every celebration is incredible.

Mandarin Oriental Marrakech
Set within 20 hectares of gardens and olive groves, Mandarin Oriental Marrakech offers an understated approach to luxury. Each villa has its own pool and private garden, creating an intimate retreat for couples and their guests.
The resort offers versatile spaces, from poolside ceremonies to grand receptions in the Atlas Ballroom, which can host up to 250 guests. With dedicated event planners, bespoke menus, and Atlas Mountain views, Mandarin Oriental Marrakech provides the flexibility and refinement required for destination weddings.

Selman Marrakech
Just 10 minutes from Marrakech Airport, Selman Marrakech is a Moorish palace designed by Jacques Garcia. It is surrounded by palm-lined gardens and views of the Atlas Mountains. We loved the magical touch of its purebred Arabian horses which add a unique backdrop for wedding photography.
Weddings here require exclusive hire of the 60 rooms, suites, and villas, ensuring total privacy. With fine dining led by chef Jean-François Piège, the award-winning Chenot spa, and world-class service, Selman Marrakech offers an exceptional mix of luxury and exclusivity.

Ksar Char Bagh
Located in Marrakech’s palm grove, Ksar Char Bagh is a 10-acre Moorish palace available only through exclusive hire. A member of Relais & Châteaux, it has been recognised among the world’s finest hotels and we could definitely see why.
Ceremonies can take place on a shaded patio, followed by cocktails on the terrace overlooking the pool, and receptions in the glass Orangerie or palm-lined gardens. With just 15 suites, the palace ensures complete intimacy and bespoke service for your wedding in Marrakech.

Villa Taj Marrakech
Available only for private hire, Villa Taj Marrakech is one of the most intimate wedding venues in the city. With 21 bedrooms, landscaped gardens, a panoramic rooftop terrace, and a lantern-lit pool area, it offers complete privacy for up to 70 guests.
Located just 20 minutes from central Marrakech, the villa blends Moroccan charm with contemporary design. Couples can create a multi-day wedding experience; from a Moroccan welcome dinner in the Oriental tent, to sunset cocktails on the rooftop, a wedding dinner by the pool, and even a bespoke desert celebration.
