our honest review
Fred Charmoy started Boutique Souk in 2005 after a career in hotel management in Paris. He owns a riad in Marrakech, so the hospitality instinct is real, not borrowed. The company evolved from offering private travel experiences into planning glamorous weddings, and has served over 53,000 guests across nearly two decades. They handle everything from romantic riad ceremonies to palace weddings to desert celebrations, all with a modern touch and meticulous attention to detail. I have seen their work up close. The production quality is consistently high. They know how to light a courtyard, time a dinner service, and manage a 200-person guest list without visible stress. Fred's expertise in venue management and vendor coordination shows in every setup.
Planning fees start at 10,000 EUR. Full packages run from 50,000 to over 200,000 EUR. This is luxury tier, full stop. You are paying for a high-end vendor network and nearly 20 years of local experience, and you should expect premium service in return. They book up fast because of their reputation, so reach out early. I tell couples to inquire at least 10 to 12 months ahead for peak season. Their calendar fills up months in advance, and last-minute bookings are not realistic. The honest part: if 10,000 EUR for planning alone makes you flinch, this is not the right fit. That number reflects the investment, not just the fee.
Couples love the modern Moroccan aesthetic, the strong local vendor network, and the attention to detail. I have heard specific praise for candlelit pathway setups and floral work that looked like it belonged in a magazine. Clients describe their experiences as stress-free luxury, and the photos back that up. On the flip side, I have heard about communication delays during the planning phase. Not ghosting, but slower replies than you would expect at this price point. One couple told me the decor was perfect but getting answers to emails sometimes took longer than they liked. Limited availability due to high demand is also a factor. Know both of these things going in.
If your budget allows for luxury and you want a planner with nearly 20 years of Marrakech experience and deep local connections, Boutique Souk delivers. The results speak for themselves in the photos. Clients consistently call the experience fairy-tale level. But go in with realistic expectations about communication speed, and do not expect them to be available for last-minute bookings. For couples who want polished, glamorous Moroccan weddings with a modern touch and can commit early, they are one of the strongest options in the city. Just build in extra follow-up time for email responses, and confirm pricing details before you sign.

Boutique Souk charges a €15,000 retainer plus 15% of your total budget. On a €60,000 wedding, that means approximately €24,000 in planning fees. Ask how vendor commissions are handled.
We recommend booking Boutique Souk 12 to 18 months before your wedding date. During peak season (October to April), popular planners fill up quickly. Contact them as early as possible to check availability for your preferred dates.
Boutique Souk charges a 15% commission on vendor spend in addition to their retainer fee. This is common in Marrakech but means the planner earns more when you spend more on vendors. Ask for a detailed breakdown before signing.
