our honest review
Fabrice Orlando did not start in weddings. He spent 20 years in French television, producing for France 2, MCM, and Disney Channel. He built a music company called Everglades Productions, sold it in 2005, and moved to Marrakech. Cocoon Events launched in 2006. That entertainment background shows. His events feel like productions, not just parties. He starred in "Les Rois de la Démesure" on TMC in December 2023, a reality show following his team through Monaco, New York, and Chateau de Chantilly. The company now operates as part of Cocoon Group, which includes Euphoria Global Events and Marbella Wedding Planners. Offices span Marrakech, London, Paris, Cannes, St Tropez, Monaco, Marbella, Rome, Milan, and more. Their Instagram @cocoonevents sits at roughly 65,000 followers.
Cocoon works across a network of Marrakech's top venues. Palais Namaskar, Royal Mansour, Ksar Char-Bagh, Beldi Country Club, Selman, Bab Atlas, Agafay Desert. They know these properties inside out. The team operates in French and English. On WeddingWire, they hold 5 reviews with clients describing them as "extremely responsive" and "amazingly flexible." One couple said every detail and every minute was at its perfection. Fabrice claims friendships with 90% of his clients, and honestly, I believe it. The man remembers names. His team includes floral designer Nicolas Barelier and director of productions Jean-Charles Ripoteau, so you are not getting a one-person show. You are getting a crew that has worked together on camera and off.
If you want a planner who thinks like a showrunner, this is the one. Cocoon has won Best Luxury Wedding Designer at the Global 100 awards in 2026, made the Top 50 Most Influential Wedding Professionals list in 2023, and sits on the DWP Advisory Board. Fabrice contributes to SpecialEvents as a writer and has been profiled in World Bride Magazine and Epic Luxury Weddings. That press footprint is bigger than almost any other planner in Marrakech. No pricing is published, which is standard for luxury planners at this level. Expect to have a conversation, not browse a menu. The multi-city office network means logistics across Europe and North Africa are handled by local teams, not remote ones.

Cocoon Events 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 Cocoon Events 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.
Cocoon Events 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.
Cocoon Events is the biggest operation in Marrakech wedding planning. Full stop. Twenty years in business, international offices, television exposure, industry awards. If you want someone who has done this hundreds of times and can produce large-scale celebrations with entertainment-level polish, Fabrice is the call. The caveat: there is no public Google review rating, and WeddingWire only has 5 reviews. For a company this size, that is a thin public trail. I would want to see recent references before signing. Also, luxury means luxury pricing. This is not a budget-friendly option. But if your budget matches the ambition, Cocoon delivers production value that few planners in Morocco can match. Phone is +212 661-791-755.
