Morocco is one of the most magical places on earth to celebrate a wedding. From historic riads and palatial estates to sweeping desert landscapes and beachfront resorts, the setting is unforgettable. But with beauty comes investment. If you’re dreaming of a luxury Moroccan wedding, it’s essential to understand what goes into the total cost so you can create a celebration that feels lavish, smooth, and unforgettable.

At MyRose Events, we specialize in designing high-end weddings that reflect personal style, cultural richness, and impeccable execution. Below is a complete guide to budgeting your luxury wedding in Morocco.

1. Number of Guests: Catering & F&B Costs

Guest count is the first major factor in your luxury budget:

  • Catering per person for a luxury Moroccan wedding generally ranges from MAD 600 to MAD 2,000+ per guest depending on the menu, service style, beverage selections, and complexity.

  • For example:

    • 80 guests at MAD 1,200 each = MAD 96,000

    • 150 guests at MAD 1,500 each = MAD 225,000

Included in catering:
• Full multi-course meal
• Hors d’oeuvres and welcome cocktails
• Premium open bar or drink packages
• Service staff and plating

The higher the guest count, the larger the budget required for food and beverages.

2. Venue Costs: Location, Size & Prestige

The venue you choose dramatically impacts your total spend. Morocco offers:

Types of Luxury Venues

Historic Palaces / Riads
Elegant, traditional spaces in cities like Marrakech and Fez. These are highly desirable and often come with cultural charm and architecture that needs minimal decoration.

Beach Resorts
Places like the Atlantic coast and Agadir offer picturesque backdrops and all-inclusive service opportunities.

Private Estates & Desert Camps
For exclusive takes with dramatic landscapes.

  • Historic Palace or luxury riad: MAD 30,000 – MAD 120,000+ (half-day or full-day rental)

  • Beachfront resort: MAD 50,000 – MAD 200,000+

  • Private desert estate: MAD 80,000 – MAD 250,000+

  • Bride’s attire & alterations: MAD 8,000 – MAD 40,000+

  • Groom’s attire & alterations: MAD 4,000 – MAD 18,000+

  • Hair & makeup: MAD 2,500 – MAD 8,000+ (trial + day-of)
