destination wedding in the caribbean

The next day, the group headed to Jibe City for a surf session and
 some salty beach time. Afterwards, it was lunch and laid-back
 lounging at the iconic Hangout Beach Bar. There was
 champagne on arrival, a surprise beauty bar pop-up, and by
 sunset, the beach had turned into a full-on barefoot dance floor
 with live music and a DJ. Later that evening, they rolled back to
 the resort where fresh pizza and cold drinks were waiting.

It all started in Marrakech, where guests were welcomed with private transfers to the beautiful Villa des Orangers. Their boutique home for the coming days, complete with curated gift bags, handwritten notes, and even spa appointments.
They explored the medina with private guides, joined secret foodie tours, and fully relaxed in traditional hammams. Sunset rooftop drinks came with snake charmers, cocktails, and golden light—followed by poolside dining, live music, and heartfelt speeches that set the tone for the days ahead.

Day 2

The morning started slow, with peaceful getting ready moments
 and ocean views. Myrte had a quiet morning with her kids, and
 Dick spent time with their boys before everything began.
The ceremony took place out on the pier, floating above
 turquoise water. Their kids walked down the aisle first, and Myrte
 was escorted by her father, with live piano music playing softly in
 the background. They exchanged personal vows, shared a
 champagne toast with their guests, and soaked in the sea view
 together as newlyweds. Dinner was something special; an eight-
course experience at Brass Boer with speeches, a surprise video, and a sparkling bouquet toss that had everyone cheering. Then
 the party started. A surprise first dance medley complete with
 Christmas hats (hahah it was a vibe), a private performance by
 Xander de Buisonjé, and a packed dance floor.

The day started with a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Palmeraie, followed by a journey into the desert. At Scarabeo Camp, guests were welcomed by a Gnawa band, sipped mint tea, and lunched under the open sky.
The afternoon was pure magic: camel rides, quad bikes, mountain biking, poolside lounging, and after dark—stargazing with a telescope and astronomer. Dinner was next-level: lanterns overhead, live music, tajines, belly dancing, and stars in every direction.

Day 3

Then it was off to the mountains for the final chapter. At the breathtaking Kasbah Tamadot, guests slowed down with henna ceremonies, tea rituals, bread-making, mule rides, and a cozy movie night under the stars. The wedding day felt like a film: vows by the reflecting pool, live music, a sweet ritual with dates and milk, and a symbolic broom jump. Dinner was a five-course feast with local flavors, emotional toasts, a surprise fire show, and a dance party that had everyone on their feet. The final night was all about gratitude: rooftop dining, handwritten notes at every seat, a surprise quiz night, and hugs all around. This INVAYA experience was, also for us, truly special. 

The day after the wedding everyone had a relaxed breakfast. Then
 the crew set sail on a private catamaran to Little Bonaire (yes, this was
 as amazing as it sounds!). There was snorkeling, lounging, and lunch
 out at sea. That evening, they gathered one more time on the beach,
 this time for a bonfire BBQ at sunset. Live acoustic guitar, everyone
 barefoot in the sand, and the wedding video already playing on a big
 screen. This was for sure an unforgettable INVAYA experience.

Days 4

The last day had that soft, in-between feeling. Everything slowed
 down. Some guests hung out by the pool, others took one last walk
 along the beach. Breakfast stretched into late morning,
 conversations drifted, and the goodbyes started to feel real.
For us, it was one of those days where it all sinks in. The love, the
 laughter, the little moments that made the whole week so special.
 We felt proud, a little emotional, and mostly just grateful to have
 been part of it all. Watching everyone leave with sandy feet, and
 happy hearts... that’s the kind of ending you don’t forget.

One last day
in paradise
