Marrakech Wedding With Lanterns

Photography by Pablo Laguia

We literally don't know where to start when it comes to this Marrakech wedding. We've spent most of the morning picking our jaws up off the floor. From the couples, sophisticated black-tie attire to their flame thrower entertainers, and reception decorated in Moroccan lanterns. Each detail planned and captured is off the chart. Pinning fingers at the ready.

Plan the wedding you want, not what other people want for you.

Marrakech is a magical moment that sits on many people’s bucket list. The perfect bridge between my husband’s hometown of London and our residence in New York. The natural settings are so unique and beautiful, it made it easier to plan a wedding remotely as we aspired to celebrate the natural Moroccan surroundings.

Marrakech Wedding

Morocco and more specifically Marrakech was a great halfway point for Lindsay and Kayvan's destination wedding. With Kayvan originally from London and the couple now residing in New York, it allowed their family and friends to join them on their wedding adventure. The attire was Moroccan black-tie and the entertainment included cultural bands, flame throwers and a cocktail hour. Plus a reception lit up with hundreds of lanterns. Pure magic.

Suppliers were chosen generally online. We fell in love with our photographer and videographer portfolios, and I had worked with our Singer at an event I hosted for work in Cannes. We discovered our DJ while at Soho House Barcelona, and the Desert Blues Band on YouTube.
