Our exceptional partner venues: the places that shape our prestige weddings

From Royal Mansour to the Domaine des Remparts, from La Mamounia to Selman and on to the Beldi Country Club, discover the addresses the Motta Wedding Academy partners with to create unforgettable weddings.

An exceptional wedding always starts with the choice of venue. Over the years, the Motta Wedding Academy has built trusted relationships with a select group of estates and palaces that each embody, in their own way, the Moroccan art of hosting. Here are five partner addresses we recommend to our students and their future clients.

Royal Mansour, the pinnacle of Moroccan hospitality

Royal Mansour, the pinnacle of Moroccan hospitality

A royal property opened in 2010, Royal Mansour is a miniature medina made up of private riads connected by underground passages. Its artisans work using traditional zellige and tadelakt techniques, giving weddings held here an unmatched level of architectural excellence and service.

Its riad layout allows for full buyout and rare intimacy: each family has its own quarters, while the lantern-lit patios and walkways become the stage for the ceremony. The choice for ultra-private weddings with the highest standards.

Domaine des Remparts, quiet elegance at the gates of Marrakech

A few minutes from the centre of Marrakech, the Domaine des Remparts practises a more discreet art of hosting: a palm-lined driveway, a monumental carved wooden gate, and lantern-lit patios that set the tone for a timeless evening from the moment guests arrive.

Its gardens, terraces, and fully privatizable reception spaces suit an intimate ceremony just as well as a dinner for several hundred guests. A valuable address for couples looking for the refinement of a palace without its formality.

La Mamounia, the timeless icon

La Mamounia, the timeless icon

Inaugurated in 1923 and nestled behind the walls of the medina, La Mamounia has welcomed royalty and artists from around the world. Its nine hectares of Andalusian gardens and legendary reception spaces, from the Imperial Theatre to the historic pool area, make it one of the most sought-after addresses for a prestige wedding.

This is the venue for grand ceremony: an arrival through carved doors, cocktails among the orange trees, and dinner served with the precision of a house that has been hosting for a century. Ideal for couples who want a heritage wedding that is spectacular and flawlessly run.

Selman Marrakech, Andalusian elegance facing the Atlas

Selman Marrakech, Andalusian elegance facing the Atlas

Designed by Jacques Garcia, Selman unfolds its gardens, mirror pools, and Arabian thoroughbred stables along the Amizmiz road, with the snow-capped Atlas range as a backdrop. Few addresses in Marrakech offer such a theatrical perspective for the couple's entrance.

The long central pool and tiered terraces naturally structure the evening: ceremony at the top of the steps, cocktails by the water, dinner under the palms. A venue built for receptions of 100 to 400 guests without ever losing refinement.

Beldi Country Club, the gentleness of a rose estate

Beldi Country Club, the gentleness of a rose estate

A few minutes from the medina, the Beldi Country Club is a fifteen-hectare estate of rose gardens, olive trees, and artisan workshops. Its glass-and-brick orangery, hung with filigree lanterns, has become one of the most photographed dinner settings in Marrakech.

The mood here is more pastoral, more botanical, and decidedly less palace: this is the address for warm, boho-chic weddings, where guests dine at long tables beneath the glass roof before dancing in the gardens.

Why these partnerships make the difference

Working with trusted partner venues gives our students and organizers privileged access to technical teams, in-depth knowledge of each space's constraints, and a relationship of trust built over multiple events. It is this closeness that turns a simple venue booking into a genuine creative collaboration.
