UK Nigerian Wedding in Marrakech

A Two-Day Celebration of Style, Culture & Romance in the Desert and Mountains of Morocco

When it comes to destination weddings that blend culture, elegance, and modern style, Joanna and Ola’s UK Nigerian wedding in Marrakech was the perfect example. Hosted over two incredible days, their celebration moved from the golden desert of BE Agafay to the stunning green landscapes of Palais Paysan, each day inspired by its own distinctive theme.

Day One – BE Agafay: A Glamorous Black & White Affair

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Agafay desert, Day 1 was a fashion-forward welcome event with a striking black and white “Coco Chanel” theme. BE Agafay, known for its modern desert architecture and panoramic dune views, provided the perfect canvas for this haute couture-inspired night. The mood was sophisticated yet joyful — a perfect start to what would become an unforgettable weekend.

Day Two – Palais Paysan: A Mediterranean Dream in the Atlas Foothills

The second day took guests to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, where Palais Paysan offered expansive views of olive groves, rolling fields, and the distant peaks. The theme for this day was "Lemon Garden Elegance", inspired by Mediterranean charm, using a fresh and romantic palette of light yellow and white, accented with lush greenery and golden touches.

The visuals from this day were breathtaking:

  • A beautifully styled ceremony area overlooking the landscape, with white floral arrangements, olive trees, and soft white chiffon flowing in the breeze.
  • A show-stopping Champagne door installation — a surprise that sparked laughter and cheers.
  • Reception tables adorned with lemons and snow white hydrangea, set with crystal glassware.
  • A custom checkmate dance floor, inviting guests to dance beneath the open sky.

As the sun dipped behind the mountains, the venue was lit with warm fairy lights and lanterns, creating a soft golden glow. The night ended with heartfelt speeches, high-energy dancing, and the undeniable joy of two families becoming one.

Celebrating Culture & Style in Marrakech

Joanna and Ola’s wedding wasn’t just beautiful — it was a true reflection of who they are as a couple. Every detail, from fashion-forward styling to cultural nods and heartfelt moments, was curated to perfection. The blend of UK Nigerian traditions with Moroccan settings gave their guests a wedding experience filled with surprise, elegance, and celebration at every turn.

Let Joanna and Ola’s wedding be your inspiration — where tradition meets modern elegance, and every moment feels like a scene from a dream.

Their Review

It’s honestly hard to believe that Siham is planning multiple weddings throughout the year, because from the very start, she made us feel like we were her only clients. She was always available, always responsive, whether it was a quick WhatsApp message or a last-minute call and brought a calm, can-do attitude to everything.Any potential issue was turned into a seamless solution, and even last-minute arrangements were handled with such grace that we never felt stressed. What could’ve been overwhelming ended up feeling joyful and exciting, all thanks to Siham’s energy and professionalism.We had already admired her work online, but experiencing it in real life completely surpassed our expectations. Her organisational skills, creativity, and attention to detail made our wedding weekend absolutely magical.From the welcome evening in the desert to the wedding day itself, everything ran so smoothly. We didn’t have to think or worry about a single thing. We were able to be fully present, enjoying every second with our guests, many of whom are still posting photos and talking about how unforgettable it all was. A huge thank you as well to Maria, whose expertise and presence were just as unmissable. We are forever grateful to the entire team for planning the best weekend of our lives. Truly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
