How do we book hotel blocks for wedding guests in Marrakech?

Start by securing rooms at your wedding venue (if it has accommodation) — this is your core block. Then identify 2–3 nearby hotels or riads at different price points for overflow guests. Contact hotels directly (not via booking platforms) to negotiate group rates — most offer 10–20% off for blocks of 10+ rooms. Popular strategies: (1) For Medina weddings: book 2–3 nearby riads for boutique charm at €80–150/night. (2) For Palmeraie weddings: negotiate overflow at nearby luxury hotels (Four Seasons, Fairmont) at €200–400/night. (3) Create a wedding website page with accommodation options at 3 price tiers so guests can choose. Book blocks 10–12 months ahead — Marrakech hotels fill fast in peak season. Most hotels hold blocks with a 30-day release clause (unsold rooms return to general inventory).
