Elopements

A unique destination for your special day

When you think of an elopement, the image that comes to mind is probably of two people running away hand in hand to get secretly married. Although this remains fitting, there are many reasons why a couple may choose to elope. Perhaps you prefer a more intimate celebration of your love – one that comes with less stress and a lot more character!

Organizing a traditional wedding can feel like a full-time job these days, requiring stressful and meticulous planning, and often including a long list of guests and details to sort out. All this can drain your energy and force unwanted compromises on newlyweds-to-be. An elopement, however, focuses exclusively on the desires of the couple; perfect for those looking for a truly original wedding. Plus we have that special add-on bonus: you’ll be in Marrakech! Where it is no secret that weddings have a unique charm. Imagine being in front of the person you love, sharing such a significant moment, deeply immersed in the beauty and magic Marrakech gives. It’s priceless!

Your wedding here will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a unique event that is tailor-made just for you! You’ll have the luxury of centering your own wants and needs, without the worry and stress that come with a long guestlist.

In fact, just by choosing to elope in Marrakech, you’ll have the enormous advantage of eliminating the wedding planning itself from your to-do list, so that you can focus your energy on the elements of the day that will make it the most special to you and your spouse. And, equally as important, an elopement significantly reduces the cost of a wedding, while you don’t sacrifice on the day’s beauty. In fact, far from it! If you think that Riad Alkemia could be the place for you, if you’re smitten with its refined bohemian style, its white wall, ancient doors, and unparalleled attention to detail, we assure you that we can handle the logistics and organization of your special day.

You’ll be surrounded by a special type of magic here, the perfect setting for the celebration of the wedding of your dreams.
