Welcome to Marrakech!

Well, not yet, but we want you to be excited as we are!

We want to make the planning of your trip to Morocco as easy as possible. Please email or call us if you want help or recommendations on booking flights. (We highly recommend www.kayak.com as a starting point.)

Our wedding itself will be on the evening of Wednesday, April 4th. We have made some plans for before and after the big event:

  • Monday, April 2nd we're planning a group excursion to the Lower Atlas Mountains (http://www.kasbahdutoubkal.com/)

  • Tuesday, April 3rd we're planning a low-key day in and around Marrakech, including a walking tour of the Medina (the oldest part of the city and where most of the wedding guests will be staying). That evening will be a "rehearsal" and dinner in a local restaurant (TBD).
  • Wednesday, April 4th is the big day! The wedding ceremony will begin around 6PM, and will be followed by cocktails, belly-dancing, traditional Moroccan music, a dinner reception, and dancing! It doesn't get much better.

  • The rest of the week (until we depart on Saturday afternoon) will be spent in Essaouira, a small port on the Atlantic Coast.

Guest are invited to spend as much or as little time with the wedding party as they'd like. If you want to explore other parts of the country, we can help you figure out how to get around. The Lonely Plant Morocco or Rough Guide Morocco books are fantastic resources and gives lots of recommendations of places to visit.

We can't wait to see you in Marrakech!
