Haldi
Morning in a palace garden. Turmeric, marigold and the two families meeting properly for the first time, before the days get formal.
Four days, eight hundred guests,
one palace

The palace wedding,
four hours from London
Marrakech was built from the same vocabulary an Indian wedding is designed around — carved arches, open courtyards, lantern light, ochre and gold. It photographs like Rajasthan.
It is also three hours from Dubai and four from London, which for a guest list spread between the UK, the Gulf and India means most of the family flies less, not more.
A four-day schedule
Mehndi
Henna artists brought in for the bride and for every guest who wants it. Long tables, chai, and a courtyard that stays cool through the afternoon.
Sangeet
A built stage, a full production rig and choreography rehearsed for months. This is the night the families compete, and the one the cousins remember.
Baraat & Pheras
The groom arrives by horse with dhol through a palace gate. The mandap is built overnight, the pandit is arranged, and the fire is lit at the hour the family's astrologer sets.
Palaces and estates, not riads
A multi-day Indian wedding needs grounds that hold several hundred people, run more than one ceremony a day, and let a mandap be built overnight. That rules out the medina riads almost entirely.
Moving three hundred people
- Visas
- Invitation letters, venue confirmations and the paperwork the application asks for, prepared for every passport in the party.
- Flights
- Direct and one-stop routings from Mumbai, Delhi, Dubai and London, mapped against the schedule so nobody lands during their own ceremony.
- Rooms
- Hotel blocks held across several properties at different price points, so a 300-person guest list does not become one family's problem.
- Transfers
- Arrivals met, coaches and cars scheduled per event, and a movement plan for three hundred people that runs to the minute.
The things families ask about first

- Jain, Swaminarayan and pure-vegetarian menus
- Mandap and decor builders
- DJs and Bollywood artists
- Mehndi artists at guest volume

What families ask
- Can you have a Hindu wedding in Morocco?
- Yes. Hindu ceremonies including the Pheras are held in Morocco at private palaces and estates, with a pandit arranged for the rites. Morocco places no restriction on Hindu, Sikh or Jain ceremonies held privately, and a sacred fire can be lit in an outdoor mandap with the venue's agreement.
- How many guests can a Marrakech wedding venue hold?
- The private palaces and estates around Marrakech used for Indian weddings hold between 150 and 800 guests, and several can run more than one ceremony a day on the same grounds. Riads in the medina are far smaller, usually under 80, which is why they are not used for multi-day Indian weddings.
- Why choose Marrakech instead of Rajasthan for an Indian wedding?
- Marrakech offers the same palace architecture Indian weddings are designed around — arches, courtyards, lanterns, ochre and gold — with far shorter flights from London, Dubai and the rest of Europe. For families spread between the UK, the Gulf and India, it cuts travel time for the majority of the guest list.
- Is Indian vegetarian and Jain catering available in Marrakech?
- Yes. Indian chefs and catering teams are flown in for the celebration, and Jain, Swaminarayan and pure-vegetarian menus are prepared in separate kitchens with their own equipment where the family requires it.
- How many days does an Indian wedding in Marrakech take?
- Most run three to five days. A typical four-day schedule is Haldi on day one, Mehndi on day two, Sangeet on day three, and the Baraat and Pheras on day four, followed by a reception.
