our honest review
ZinEvent is run by Zine Hayat out of Marrakech's Zinaya Center, and they've built a real following. We're talking 131K followers on Instagram (@zineventt) and a 4.9 out of 5 on Google across 97 reviews. That's not nothing. What sets them apart is range. They handle catering, decoration, entertainment, neggafates, custom cakes, photography, videography, hair and makeup. All under one roof. One client summed it up as "un très bon rapport qualité prix," which tracks with what I've seen from their work. The caveat? They're more of a full-service event and catering company than a pure wedding planner. You won't find them on Zankyou or Mariages.net, which are the two directories most couples check first when researching Marrakech planners. That doesn't mean they can't plan your wedding. It means their strength is production and execution, not necessarily the strategic planning side that destination couples sometimes need.
ZinEvent markets themselves as handling everything "from A to Z with no extra fees or commissions on their services." That's a bold claim, and it matters in Marrakech where surprise add-ons can bloat a budget fast. Their entertainment roster is genuinely fun. Fire jugglers, oriental dancers, Gnaoua musicians, folk troupes. They know how to build a party that feels Moroccan, not like a tourist version of Moroccan. They also handle birthdays, corporate conferences, galas, and baby showers, so weddings aren't their only lane. That can be a plus. Teams that work across event types tend to be sharper on logistics. But it also means your wedding coordinator might be juggling a corporate gala the same week. No specific venue partnerships are listed publicly, so ask them directly which riads and venues they work with regularly. You want a team that knows the kitchen layout and the loading dock, not one figuring it out on your wedding day.
If your priority is a one-stop shop with strong catering roots and flashy entertainment, ZinEvent delivers. Their Google reviews speak for themselves, 4.9 with 97 reviews is hard to fake. They operate in French and English, and likely Arabic too given they're Marrakech-based. Their second Instagram account, @luxuryeventsbyzine, suggests they're pushing into higher-end events, which is worth watching. They're also listed on VotreTraiteur.ma, which reinforces that catering is their backbone. For couples who want great food and a spectacular party without hiring five separate vendors, that's genuinely appealing. Just know that if you need deep destination-wedding expertise, like managing guest travel logistics or coordinating with overseas families, you should ask pointed questions about their experience with international clients before signing.
ZinEvent charges a flat fee of €7,500 with no vendor commissions. On a €60,000 wedding budget, your total planning cost would be €7,500. This is a fixed price regardless of how much you spend on vendors.
We recommend booking ZinEvent 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.
ZinEvent does not charge vendor commissions. Their fee is fully transparent — what you see is what you pay. This means they have no financial incentive to recommend more expensive vendors.
ZinEvent is a solid pick for couples who want strong production value, excellent Moroccan catering, and a team that can pull off a spectacle. Zine Hayat has built something real at the Zinaya Center, and 131K Instagram followers don't appear from nowhere. I'd recommend them especially for couples already in Morocco or familiar with how things work here. Where I'd pump the brakes: if you're a destination couple planning from London or Paris and you need someone to hold your hand through every logistical detail, make sure ZinEvent's planning process matches what you need. Their no-extra-fees promise is attractive, but get it in writing with a detailed breakdown. The best wedding vendor relationships in Marrakech start with honest conversations, not assumptions.
