When it comes to planning a memorable event London often tops the list for its central location and easy accessibility. But what if we told you that hosting your event in the exotic city of Marrakesh could not only offer a more unique experience but also save you money. With its vibrant culture, luxurious venues, and favourable exchange rates, Marrakesh can be a surprisingly budget-friendly alternative to London.
Venue Costs: Luxury for Less
In London, venue hire can be one of the most significant expenses, with prices easily reaching thousands of pounds for a single day. Marrakesh, on the other hand, offers stunning riads, palaces, and desert resorts at a fraction of the cost. Many venues include extras like catering, décor, and entertainment in their packages as standard, something that would cost significantly more in the UK.
Accommodation: Affordable Elegance
London’s hotel rates are among the highest in Europe. In contrast, Marrakesh offers a wide range of accommodation options at much lower prices. We recently stayed at the Mövenpick Marrakech with m&i located in the city centre, near the Medina and just 4km away from the international airport. The hotel has 3 pools, restaurants and bars, Spa, Yoga studio and a fitness centre making it the perfect location for a corporate group.
Catering and Cuisine: Gourmet on a Budget
Moroccan cuisine is not only delicious but also cost-effective. Event catering in Marrakesh often includes multi-course meals, traditional entertainment, and beautifully styled settings—all for less than the cost of basic catering in London.
Labour and Services: Skilled and Affordable
From florists to photographers, Marrakesh boasts a thriving event industry with skilled professionals who charge significantly less than their London counterparts. This means you can afford more elaborate setups, custom décor, and personalized touches without breaking the bank.
Travel and Experience: A Built-In Adventure
While flights to Marrakesh may add to the initial cost, the overall experience often outweighs the expense. Guests get to enjoy a mini-vacation, explore souks, ride camels, and relax in hammams—all of which add value to your event and make it unforgettable.
Final Thoughts: A Smart, Stylish Choice
Planning a destination event in Marrakesh isn’t just about saving money—it’s about creating a rich, immersive experience that your guests will talk about for years. With its blend of affordability, beauty, and culture, Marrakesh proves that you don’t have to spend more to get more.
