Weddings & celebrations · Palais Hassoun

A wedding venue near Marrakech that closes for you

There is no second party at Palais Hassoun and no stranger across the garden. One celebration at a time: the whole estate, its staff and its chef, arranged around yours.

The wedding

Vows in the gardens, dinner for 300 under the stars

The ceremony beneath the olive trees, at the hour the façade turns gold. Dinner for up to 300 at long tables, the great pool lit like a mirror, and no neighbour for kilometres, so the music ends when you do.

Palais Hassoun stands 25 km from Marrakech on the road to Fès. The estate sleeps 22 of your guests across its 11 keys. For everyone else, the house coordinates lodging in the Palmeraie and in the city, and arranges the transfers.

One day at the palace

A wedding day near Marrakech, hour by hour

Every celebration starts from a blank page, but a day here tends to take this shape.

  1. A wedding ceremony seen from above, guests seated by the pool in the gardens

    17:00

    Vows beneath the olive trees

    The ceremony at the hour the façade turns gold: chairs in the grove, the Atlas as witness, no sound that is not yours.

  2. A bride and groom in silhouette beneath a Moorish arch at sunset

    18:30

    Golden-hour portraits for two

    While the first glasses are poured in the garden, the photographer takes you away. Cypress walks, rose-pink walls, a light that needs no retouching.

  3. A dinner table set with red roses and candles beside the lit pool at night

    20:30

    Dinner at long tables under the stars

    Up to 300 guests, and the chef's Morocco, its classics revisited, served between the lanterns and the sky.

  4. A party on the terrace by the pool at night, the palace lit and reflected in the water

    23:00

    The pool, lit like a mirror

    There is no neighbour to ask for quiet, only the olive groves and the night. The music ends when you decide.

  5. Wedding guests in bright kaftans dancing at night in the palace

    02:00

    The party moves to the rooftop

    The music carries through the palace and up to the rooftop. Follow the lights upstairs: the dancing is far from over.

  6. A reception table dressed in white beneath a tall arrangement of flowers, the palace arcades behind

    09:00

    The morning after

    Breakfast is carried into the shade of the olive trees. If you wish, the palace keeps your celebration going for one more day.
