Jewish wedding in Marrakech

Chuppah at sunset, cocktail by the pool, kosher dinner for 150 guests, Shabbat chatan the next day: JKECH presents the JKECH method for a Jewish wedding in Marrakech.

The venue: a private estate

The right estate has it all: a garden for the chuppah, a terrace for the cocktail, a hall or patio for dinner, room to dance without neighbours, and bedrooms for parents and grandparents. We rule out houses that are too tight.

Ceremony and reception

Chuppah set in the garden, orientation and timing agreed with the rabbi, kabbalat panim, bedeken. Then cocktail, seated dinner or buffet, band or DJ, Moroccan entertainment (negafa, henna) if you wish. We do not replace the rabbi: we hold the venue, the schedule and the suppliers.

• Chuppah in the garden, floral decoration, sound
• Kosher cocktail and dinner by a partner caterer
• DJ, band, Moroccan entertainment
• Photographer, videographer, florist, hair and make-up at the villa

The kosher caterer

JKECH coordinates kosher caterers in Marrakech used to weddings: SK Events (Sandra Kakon), SELAH26, ElaCooking for bakery and pastry. Tasting before the big day, level of kashrut set with you and the rabbi, certificate provided.

Shabbat chatan, henna, bar mitzvah

A wedding in Marrakech often lasts a weekend: henna evening on Thursday, wedding on Sunday, and Shabbat chatan in between, on the estate, with services on site and Shabbat meals for all guests. Same principle for a bar or bat mitzvah: Torah reading at Beth El or on the estate, then reception at the villa.

The guests

Airport transfers, neighbouring villas or Guéliz apartments for guests, kosher meals for those arriving the day before, excursion programme for free days. You give us the list, we handle the logistics.
