A wedding in Marrakech – Laetitia + Frédéric

After 18 years of living together and 3 beautiful children, Laetitia and Frédéric let themselves be carried away by the delicious evidence of celebrating their love. A marriage that is no longer a promise but the real culmination of a full and happy life. In the privacy of 50 guests, they chose to take their loved ones for 3 days out of time in Marrakech. For the occasion, they privatized the Villa Taj Marrakech.

With the beautiful images of Maddy Christina, the young bride tells us…

Their meeting

"It's now almost 18 years since our paths crossed on the benches of the IUT. This was followed by a wonderful meeting during an end-of-year party. We were never supposed to see each other again because we had chosen a completely different direction. The law of attraction decided otherwise..."

The marriage proposal

"There followed many beautiful adventures... 18 years of living next to each other and during which we also welcomed our three beautiful boys full of life... Really, nothing better could have happened except perhaps a magnificent wedding. And it was without ever having really talked about it but buried in us as obvious that the request was fulfilled: without fuss or frills but full of love and a huge surprise."

A wedding in Marrakech, La Villa Taj

"The quickest choice of the whole organization. Where could we get married? Who did we want to be surrounded by? What adventure did we want to live with our children? A quick search on the internet for a heavenly place but within our budget... A beautiful video full of emotion... A simple email to Marianne Labadie, the owner of the rental of the Villa Taj Marrakech, the only reception venue in Marrakech with 19 rooms and 53 beds above all... A response two hours later, and we were already transported, ready to live an unforgettable moment worthy of fairy tales."

Wedding planning in Marrakech

“At the top…!”

The organization was mainly taken care of by the owner of the villa and her team. There is something for all tastes and all budgets. All you had to do was let yourself be guided by the meticulous planning. This was not the team's first attempt and everything was perfect: welcome, service, catering, entertainment, not to mention the decoration and above all a magnificent house between Marrakech and the Agafay desert, a true haven of peace.

Wedding decoration at Villa Taj

"A real delight... The place itself could be enough with its century-old olive trees, its cacti, its 25-meter swimming pool, its sun-kissed basin and its terrace overlooking the Agafay desert... But no, on top of that, there were hundreds of roses, white bougainvillea, endless garlands of flowers... always in shades of white. A magnificent table decorated with a flower crossbar from one end to the other on which Marianne and her team hung glass bubbles filled with candles and different flowers reflected in a mirror placed on  the table on which the tableware for the event was organized.

The wedding budget in Marrakech

“Expect to spend €40 for a wedding with 000 guests out of three  days, three nights.

We included in the budget: three magnificent evening meals: one under the 1001 lights tent, the wedding dinner, a brunch under the olive trees of the villa, entertainment by a troupe, the hairdresser for about ten guests, alcohol, decoration, breakfasts, soft waters, the DJ, the videographer, the photographer… and also the dream: a tailor-made excursion in the desert: 25 quads for 2 hours to go to a camp with the return by car and a tailor-made dinner in the desert of Marrakech.

Their best memory

• The secular ceremony under the olive trees which was particularly sublime and magical with ad hoc staging and decoration  imagined by Marianne just for us, we wanted a unique decor, she created a path for the bride and groom to walk down like an arbor with falling flowers and everything was perfect  integrated into the surrounding nature
• Arrival at the Villa with all our guests: the location was kept secret until arrival!

Advice from the newlyweds

Go ahead, go for it and trust the very very professional team. For those who are afraid, we had not visited the place before the big day! and we highly recommend it. The magic must also work for the bride and groom...  Be careful though to choose professionals on site! We had inquired about the reputation of the Taj Marrakech villa and it was largely up to par ☺
