If you’re considering Marrakech as a wedding destination, the iconic LA MAMOUNIA should be top of your list! This legendary hotel blends luxury, design, service, culture, and history into an unforgettable experience. Celebrating its 100th anniversary, La Mamounia is a short walk from the main souk, yet feels like a secluded oasis. Originally a garden gifted by a Sultan to his son, this palatial retreat employs a staggering 800 staff to ensure impeccable service. Icons like Paul McCartney, Alfred Hitchcock, Yves Saint Laurent, and even the notorious Anna Delvey have stayed here, making it the ultimate destination for an unforgettable celebration. Needless to say, weddings at La Mamounia are nothing short of magical. Whether you envision a romantic ceremony in the lush gardens, an elegant reception in the black-and-white patio, or a lavish soirée under the stars, La Mamounia’s dedicated team will ensure every detail is flawlessly executed.
ARRIVE IN STYLE AT LA MAMOUNIA
First impressions count, and nothing compares to being greeted by an immaculately dressed concierge inside Marrakech-Menara Airport—a privilege offered by only a select few properties in Marrakech. You’ll be guided through the airport hubbub to a vehicle of your choice: Porsche Panamera, Range Rover, or Jaguar Daimler. Then, be whisked 6 km to the majestic oasis that awaits.
WedLuxe Recommends: Your hotel check-in is an experience to be savoured. Take a moment to fully acclimatize and soak in the splendour of the lobby, including the iconic light sculpture (known as the Jewel of the Grand Dame), which is a mesmerizing tribute to Berber jewellery.
YOUR BRIDAL SUITE AWAITS
The Baldaquin Suite at La Mamounia offers a magical escape. Featuring a magnificent canopy bed draped in white taffeta, this 77 m² suite includes a double bedroom, lounge, and two luxurious bathrooms with veined marble and zellige tile accents. Overlooking the pool, the suite is bathed in soft ivory and cream tones, with beautiful woodwork and romantic portraits of cinema’s iconic couples.
WedLuxe Recommends: Stopping by La Boutique Mamounia to stock up on products featuring the hotel’s heavenly signature fragrance, a custom blend of cedar, date, and orange blossom. The date candle in particular makes for the BEST keepsake, in addition to being a great gifting option for guest favours!
LUXURIATE AT THE ICONIC SPA
You’ve likely seen images of the spa pool on social media (it is one of the most exquisite in the world!) and for couples seeking ultimate relaxation before their big day, a visit to the spa is a must. Spanning over 2,500 m², this oasis offers a serene escape in a lavish Arabian Nights setting. With traditional hammams, indulgent massages, and treatments using brands like Valmont and Augustinus Bader, the spa promises an unparalleled experience of oriental bliss. Whether it’s a private hammam session or a pampering manicure, every detail is designed to help you unwind and glow.
WedLuxe Recommends: Privatize the whole Spa if you’d like to enjoy the experience with your nearest and dearest!
HOST A WELCOME DINNER AT LE MAROCAIN
For a truly enchanting start to a wedding celebration, La Mamounia’s main restaurant, Le Marocain, offers an unparalleled setting. Nestled in a magnificent Riad within the hotel’s lush gardens, this venue boasts three floors of stunning Arabo-Andalusian architecture. Guests will be transported to a world of elegance, dining amidst intricate woodwork, zellige tiling, and exquisite plasterwork. Chef Rachid Agouray’s Moroccan specialties, paired with the melodies of a live violin and lute trio, promise a memorable welcome dinner. Le Marocain is the epitome of Moroccan hospitality and refinement, setting the perfect tone for a magical wedding journey.
SAY I DO IN THE SPLENDOUR OF THE GARDENS
The gardens are undoubtedly the pièce de résistance, drawing visitors from far and wide. Rooted in the 18th century, they were originally the site of Prince Al-Mamoun’s famed “nzaha”—extravagant open-air receptions that established a legacy of elegance. Today, this thirteen-hectare haven remains a serene retreat and the most MAGICAL setting for events, from intimate ceremonies to extravagant 400-person reception dinners.
DON’T FORGET THE AFTER PARTY
Dazzle your guests and dance the night away at one of La Mamounia’s many uniquely designed restaurants or function spaces. L’Asiatique par Jean-Georges restaurant and the secret rooftop Le Club are our top picks! One of the biggest perks of hosting an event at La Mamounia is access to one of the world’s best pastry chefs, Pierre Hermé Paris (with multiple locations across the hotel!). Be sure to work with the team to create a killer dessert and pastry experience for your guests!
JUST THE TWO OF YOU
For the ultimate romantic (and let’s be real—Instagrammable!) finale to a destination wedding at La Mamounia, the Dîner Éphémère offers an unforgettable experience. Set on the hotel’s stunning black-and-white patio, this private dining event showcases the best of Arabo-Andalusian architecture. Couples can indulge in a tailor-made menu and select from the finest grands crus, making this a perfect way to celebrate the end of a magical wedding.
