Q. Should we choose a venue which can accommodate all of our guests on-site?
A. No, the best way to choose your wedding party venue is not to worry about your guests staying on-site. This would greatly reduce your options and would certainly lead to you choosing a less individual, less authentic and less charming venue for the wedding reception. Wedding parties vary greatly in size, from 5 to 500 people or more. In our experience the average wedding we do has somewhere between 50 and 150 family and guests and this more often than not means finding a great venue which offers the right space to welcome and entertain but probably does not offer accommodation for the guests to stay on-site.
Examples of such venues would be sumptuous villa's in the Marrakech palm groves or a stunning formal riad in the depths of the Marrakech medina. Such places rarely offer more than a handful of rooms and suites. Perhaps however enough space for you to consider having your close families (or one of your families, generally the brides family) staying on-site. This allows easy access for the bride and her family.

Q. Can we have our wedding ceremony at the same place as the wedding reception?
A. Absolutely. This tends to be the case in many weddings (non-Catholic couples) in Morocco, due to the fact that the only people who can be married in the Catholic Churches in the country are Catholics. Other Christian and most Jewish, Muslim and non-religious weddings tend to have the wedding ceremony or wedding blessing take place in a lovely garden, a desert camp, a beach or on the side of a mountain!
