Questions about the venue
Can we hold both ceremony and reception at La Clé d'Or?+
Yes. The riad's multiple courtyards allow for ceremony setups in intimate outdoor spaces with reception areas in adjoining rooms, maintaining flow while keeping events within the property.
How many rooms does the riad have for guests?+
La Clé d'Or has 12 suites and rooms available for guest accommodation, with options to arrange overflow stays at partner properties nearby in the medina.
What's included in venue rental?+
Typical packages include space rental, basic table and chair setup, and access to kitchen facilities. Catering, décor, and entertainment are typically arranged separately or through recommended vendors.
Is the medina location difficult for elderly guests or those with mobility concerns?+
The riad sits within Marrakesh's medina with narrow cobblestone access streets. Guests should be prepared for this terrain; staff can assist, but accessibility is limited compared to hotels in newer districts.
What's the best season for a wedding at La Clé d'Or?+
Avoid July-August heat. Ramadan dates vary annually and affect local business hours and guest comfort.
