Who We Are

CRAFT/  because every story deserves to be designed with intention

Based in Marrakech, ZELLIJ specializes in bespoke weddings, private dinners, and creative events. Our work blends Moroccan heritage with contemporary sensibility, creating a refined balance between tradition and modern design. We manage every detail — from concept to execution — with intention, precision, and artistry. Remaining boutique by choice allows us to focus on what truly matters: personal connection, aesthetic harmony, and the emotion that lingers long after the event ends. We craft emotions into form — creating beauty that feels effortless, natural, and sincere.

Our Philosophy

WITH/  because beauty is born from collaboration

Behind every detail stands a team guided by sensitivity, creativity, and purpose. We listen to your vision, interpret your story, and translate it into an experience that feels both personal and refined. Our process is deeply human — from the first exchange to the final moment, we work with empathy, precision, and care. Together, we build moments that reflect connection, trust, and shared emotion.

Our Approach

SOUL/  because true luxury lies in emotion

ZELLIJ embodies a dialogue between heritage and modernity. We design moments that honor culture and connection, crafting beauty that feels natural, poetic, and timeless. Candles, textures, and organic elements replace ornament — allowing light and feeling to take center stage. Each project reflects our belief that authenticity, atmosphere, and emotion are the true markers of luxury.
