Yves Saint Laurent once said, “Marrakech taught me colour.” With a rich history of beautiful hues and a lavish culture, Marrakech surrounds you with a vibrant palette and is the perfect location for an elopement wedding. At every glance, you’re embraced by a multitude of colours, creating an enchanting and immersive experience.
In Marrakech’s dusk-hued medina, there’s a riad that opens a door to another world.
Hidden within the Medina of Marrakech – Riad Yasmine is a place where adventurous couples will discover the magical secrets of this unique culture and the perfect location for their Marrakech elopement wedding. A magical place where where couples and guests can breathe the Moroccan culture in a luxurious environment with a modern design.Â
La Perle Events Party Maroc highlights Moroccan culture by showing off the luxurious textures, Marrakech sourced decor, services and products from local artisans and accommodations that Morocco has to offer. The Bloom Room Marrakech designed these modern, minimalist floral arrangements for this Marrakech elopement and that perfectly enhance the already stunning Riad.
There are a myriad of exciting things to do whether planning an intimate Marrakech elopement with your significant other or hosting a destination wedding where guests indulge in all that Marrakech offers; guided tours through the Medina, pampering hammam treatments, rooftop dinner parties at Riad with city views, oasis pool festivities, and short 45-minute drives to the Agafay desert.
One of my favourite parts of capturing an elopement destination wedding in Marrakech is taking my couples on little adventures around the city. I love uncovering those hidden gems that lead to authentic, unforgettable moments—like when I took Lisa and Paul on a lively tour of the souk. My French comes in handy, too; it helps me connect with local vendors who are always welcoming, often letting us snap a few extra photos in exchange for a few dirhams. It’s these genuine interactions that not only enrich your photo experience but also help you feel truly immersed in the local culture.
The day I explored the souk, it felt like a creation by Jacques Garcia, possibly with the influence of Yves St Laurent. Sunlight streamed through its slatted roof, casting couture-like black and gold stripes over everything and everyone.
Later that evening, as Marrakech lit up with vibrant energy, Lisa and Paul effortlessly switched gears. They traded in their wedding day finery for chic, comfortable evening attire, ready to party the night away at their exclusive Riad Yasmine. The transformation was pure magic—turning a romantic celebration into an intimate, laid-back fiesta where every moment felt as authentic as the city itself.
