The Oberoi Wedding: A palace for your Wedding

The Oberoi, not just a palace, a dream come true!

Hi lovebirds💍
It’s Simone, your Marrakech wedding planner with strong opinions and a serious love for good venues 💛
Let’s talk about The Oberoi Marrakech.

If you two are into peaceful luxury, big open skies, and a wedding that feels like a private escape, this place is worth a look. It’s elegant without being flashy, private without feeling cold, and honestly one of the most serene spots I’ve ever worked at.

🏛 First Impressions

The Oberoi doesn’t show off. You pull up, and it’s just… peaceful. Big sky, clean lines, orange trees, water everywhere. No chaos, no noise, just space to breathe.

There’s this long canal that leads you toward the main building, it’s huge, but somehow still feels calm and welcoming. You look around and realize you can’t hear anything but birds and the wind in the trees. It’s quiet in the best way.

The best part? It doesn’t feel like a wedding factory. No back-to-back events, no strangers wandering around. You get the whole place, and it really does feel like yours.

💍 Why Couples Love It

Here’s what makes weddings at The Oberoi feel unforgettable:

  • The Grand Canal – A 120-meter reflecting canal framed by citrus groves and the Atlas Mountains behind you. Imagine your ceremony here at sunset — it’s pure magic.
  • The Patio – Inspired by a 14th-century medersa, this courtyard works beautifully for dinners or dancing under the stars.
  • Les Jardins des Oliviers – Olive tree-lined gardens for laid-back outdoor receptions or dreamy welcome dinners.
  • Plus: ballrooms, terraces, and private villas, every wedding here looks different, because it’s built around you.

🛏️ What Your Guests Will Love

  • 84 suites and villas — many with private pools, garden views, or even canal access.
  • An incredible spa — hammam, Ayurvedic treatments, yoga pavilion… I always recommend spa mornings before the big day.
  • Romantic activities — hot-air balloon rides, cooking classes, desert helicopter tours. Yes, it’s all real. And all curated.
  • On-site dining — Moroccan, Mediterranean, terrace-style, even canal-side dinners by candlelight.

This isn’t just a venue. It’s a full wedding-weekend experience.

❤️ Real Moments I’ll Never Forget

  • One couple shared their first look on a floating platform in the Grand Canal. The mountains lit up behind them, and all their guests were silent just watching, holding their breath. That photo still gives me chills.
  • Another couple mixed Indian and Moroccan traditions, courtyard blessings, a brunch under the olive trees, even a “moon juice” bar at the afterparty. Vogue photographers said it felt like royalty.
  • And yes, I’ve seen proposals here too, lanterns, musicians, candles along the canal… it’s made for movie scenes.
