Fabrice OrlandoFounder and creative leadCocoon Events is a luxury wedding planner and event producer based in Marrakech. It works as a production agency rather than a coordination service, handling creative direction, scenography, logistics and on-site delivery for weddings and private celebrations in Morocco, the French Riviera, Monaco and Paris.
The company is led by Fabrice Orlando, who spent 20 years producing for television and applies what he calls a showrunner approach to each celebration: the venue is treated as a stage, with a script and a running order. He leads a dedicated team and works with international families who value discretion.
“I don't look at a venue and see tables and chairs. I see a stage, a script, and a spotlight waiting for its stars.”
Fabrice Orlando, founder
In Morocco the team works from imperial palaces and luxury hotels in Marrakech to private camps in the Agafay Desert, planning multi-day weddings that can include a welcome dinner, the wedding itself and a recovery brunch. On the French Riviera it works from Cannes and Saint-Tropez, and in Monaco and Paris.
Its method has three parts: compose, orchestrate and design. Compose sets the creative direction and the interplay of sound, light and emotion. Orchestrate covers timelines, suppliers and guest logistics. Design builds the floral structures and scenography that transform the venue.
The work has been recognised in wedding industry awards since 2017, including International Wedding Awards for wedding planner in 2019 and 2020, the African Excellence Awards in 2019, and a 2023 MEA Business Awards win for best destination wedding and event management company.
