A Decade of Love
We are so excited to have you join us in Marrakech, Morocco!
Why Marrakech, Morocco?
We fell in love with this beautiful country the moment we visited. Marrakech, with its rich culture, vibrant colors, intricate architecture, and centuries of history, felt like the perfect setting for something as meaningful and magical as our wedding.
We knew we wanted a destination that was not only breathtaking but also felt like an experience—somewhere that would bring together our love of travel, culture, and celebration. Morocco offered all of that and more. From its riads to its desert landscapes, it felt like a place where we could celebrate love in a way that felt intimate, intentional, and unforgettable.
We’re so excited to share this special corner of the world with you.
Ksar Char Bagh
THE VENUE
Tucked away in Marrakech’s iconic Palmeraie, Ksar Char Bagh is a Moorish-style palace inspired by the grandeur of the Alhambra. Surrounded by gardens of fig, olive, and citrus trees, the property offers a serene escape just beyond the city’s edge.
With vaulted halls, peaceful courtyards, and timeless architecture, the estate blends intimacy and elegance, making it the perfect setting for a wedding celebration. From the warm, personalized service to the atmosphere of quiet luxury, Ksar Char Bagh feels both transportive and unforgettable.

Ksar Char Bagh
A limited number of suites are available for guests who wish to stay directly at the wedding venue. Each suite offers a unique, luxurious experience—some with private gardens or pools.
Breakfast is included, and of course, one of the biggest perks is being just steps away from every wedding event—no travel required.

Guests are absolutely welcome to stay at any hotel, riad, or resort of their choosing in Marrakech. However, shuttle service will only be provided from Barceló Palmeraie to the wedding venue, Ksar Char Bagh.
If you choose to stay elsewhere, you will be responsible for arranging your own transportation to and from each wedding event.
If this applies, please inform Natasha or Shamik of your accommodation details to help with overall planning.
About Marrakech, Morocco
For many guests, this may be a first visit to Morocco. Marrakech is vibrant, welcoming, and full of energy — and a few practical considerations will help make the experience smooth and enjoyable.
Luggage – Consider placing an AirTag or similar tracker in your suitcase for peace of mind during international travel.
Attire – Marrakech is cosmopolitan yet traditional. Lightweight clothing that covers shoulders and knees is recommended when exploring cultural sites. Resorts and high-end venues allow for more flexibility.
Currency – The Moroccan dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Cash is widely used, especially in markets and smaller shops. Carrying small bills is useful for shopping and gratuities.
Transportation – Many areas within the medina are best explored on foot. For longer distances, use official taxis or arrange transportation through your hotel or riad.
Shopping – Bargaining in the souks is customary.
Language – Arabic and French are most commonly spoken, though English is widely understood in tourist areas.
Health & Hydration – Tap water is not recommended for drinking. Bottled water is widely available, and staying hydrated is essential in the warm, dry climate.
Safety – Marrakech is considered safe for visitors. Exercise awareness in crowded areas, safeguard your belongings, and avoid engaging with unofficial guides.
