Our Story

How It Started

We founded Boutique Souk in 2005 out of a love for Morocco and a desire to share the best of the city’s secrets and experiences with friends and friends of friends who wanted to visit. Our backgrounds in hotel, hospitality and marketing industries helped us create a team of staff and partners to unlock the best of what the city had to offer.

Soon we were organising private travel, parties and then weddings for guests of all cultures, nationalities and ages. The business has grown organically along with Marrakech’s popularity as a destination and the opportunities our clients have given us to constantly push the boundaries of the fantastical with the events and experiences we create.

Founder

Rosena Charmoy

Rosena swopped a marketing career in London for sunny Marrakech, setting up Boutique Souk in 2005. She leads the creative and planning team and thrives on getting to know clients personalities and tastes to create truly bespoke events. When asked which was her favourite wedding event, she says it’s easy to choose her own wedding to business partner Fred, but her event highlights include watching Lionel Ritchie perform at a private wedding and curating a bespoke ballet for a dinner party for Chanel.
