The reception venue in Marrakech

Aline had always wanted to get married in Marrakech… we each started looking for a venue separately and we both fell in love with the Villa Taj MarrakechThe search therefore lasted barely an hour. An email to Marianne, a reply within the hour, and it was the beginning of our exceptional adventure in a magnificent place beyond all expectations.

Wedding planning in Marrakech

We placed our complete trust in the Villa Taj team, which is organized like a wedding planning agency. Their reverse planning system made everything simple, efficient, and above all, stress-free.

From the beginning, the retroplanning took us through the steps without it being a headache, we chose our decoration for each highlight of the wedding from their very comprehensive photo galleries.

We looked at the Villa Taj Instagram from all directions and we fell in love with it the photographer Claudia Lichttrunken who had already organized some very beautiful weddings in Marrakech at this villa.

Wedding decoration

The welcome dinner 

In the 1001 lights tent which is a modern Moroccan tent with a whole wall made of mirrors  in which the lights were reflected. It was magical with all those candles, lanterns, and incredible Moroccan lamps. A decor that was both very oriental and modern. The staging was simply amazing with the low tables arranged around the pool.

The wedding ceremony

A bohemian chic ceremony With pampas grass lining the aisle, a round, flower-covered swing to decorate the bridal arch, all coordinated with the dresses and suits of our children and the wedding party. Wooden and straw chairs to maintain the bohemian chic theme, flowing drapes throughout the ceremony area, and above all, the Marrakech light, which at 18 PM is simply magical..

The wedding dinner

We wanted it in front of the swimming pool 25 meters lit only on the edges by straw lanterns which gives all its splendor to this magical reception area. The pool is not lit voluntarily so that the giant olive bonsai tree at the end of the pool can be reflected. The "elegant and bright" dinner theme consists of a long table runner made of olive branches and 200 white rose soliflores all cut to 10 cm, candles of different sizes all along and tall candlesticks to enhance this banquet. Transparent placemats with a gold border, a decorative menu and transparent Napoleon chairs.

Brunch the day after the wedding

Bohemian Chic Theme 

Under a majestic avenue of century-old olive trees, a long table decorated with a thousand mini pampas and very tall bouquets of "giant pampas" with wooden log placemats, all interspersed with vaporous veils. The spot is just incredible to experience. A cool buffet in the pool house and a dream day with bursts of laughter and magical conviviality. It's really a great moment that we don't regret, we took the time to be with everyone and share happy moments. It's true that the temperature of Marrakech and its great climate contribute to the success of this memorable weekend.

The desert

Villa Taj is located opposite the Marrakech desert. The quad bikes are delivered to the villa, and off we go for an hour and a half through breathtaking lunar landscapes to the villa's secret spot: a desert camp in the middle of nowhere. We had brought our wedding outfits for a photoshoot in the early evening, just as night fell. This final evening lived up to the weekend, with an incredible Moroccan and African atmosphere. This desert evening was the perfect ending to this immersive wedding experience in the heart of Marrakech.

Their most moving memory

Having shared this unforgettable moment in this magical place with all our loved ones who were captivated by all these dinners and lunches that followed one another with a decor and a place that changed each time.

Their best choice in wedding planning

We almost didn't have dinner in the desert, but it was such a magical moment completely cut off from everything that we don't regret it.

Advice from the newlyweds

Let yourself be guided, listen to the advice, follow the reverse schedule, then do nothing and enjoy yourself to the fullest., it's always too short!

Don't skimp on the photographer and cameraman; they are the only memories you will have left afterwards. We spend our time looking at them to relive those emotionally charged days, and thanks to them, we can relive them indefinitely.
