Destination wedding in Morocco: the steps for couples coming from abroad
Living abroad and dreaming of getting married in Morocco? Remote planning, guests, ceremony: how to prepare your destination wedding.
Published on · By Yeaf Events

Getting married in Morocco while living in Paris, London or New York means offering your loved ones a journey as much as a celebration. It is also a project you run from afar. Here is how we organise it with couples coming from abroad.
Start with the essentials
Three decisions shape everything else: the date, the number of guests and the atmosphere you want (garden, riad, desert, mountains). Once these are set, venues can be shortlisted and a consistent budget built.
Planning remotely, stress-free
Remote planning relies on a clear method:
- Regular video calls to move forward step by step.
- Video tours of venues, backed by photos and floor plans.
- A single point of contact coordinating every supplier on the ground.
- A shared schedule with the deadline for each decision.
If your schedule allows, a scouting trip a few months before the wedding lets you confirm the venue, taste the menu and meet the key suppliers.
The ceremony
Many couples hold the civil marriage in their country of residence, then celebrate a fully personalised symbolic ceremony in Morocco. For any official formalities, we recommend checking with your consulate and the relevant authorities.
Taking care of your guests
A destination wedding often spans several days. Tell your guests early (a save the date at least six months ahead), suggest accommodation, organise transfers and put together a programme: welcome evening, ceremony and dinner, brunch or an excursion the next day.
On the day, you simply enjoy it
On the wedding day, our team coordinates set-up, timings and every supplier. You and your loved ones have one thing to do: live the moment.

Frequently asked questions
Can we plan everything without coming to Morocco before the wedding?
Yes, through video calls, video venue tours and on-site coordination. A scouting trip is still a plus if your schedule allows.
Is a wedding in Morocco legally binding?
Formalities depend on your nationality. Many couples marry civilly at home and then celebrate a symbolic ceremony in Morocco. Check with your consulate for the official requirements.
When should we tell guests about a destination wedding?
Ideally six months to a year ahead, so they have time to arrange travel and accommodation.
