Moroccan weddings in times of savings

High catering costs this summer are forcing Moroccan families to revise their wedding budgets downwards and opt for low-key celebrations with a limited guest list. The reason is the soaring prices of food, meat (red and poultry) and fish.

The general increase in prices is forcing Moroccans to review their wedding celebration habits. Pompous weddings are now giving way to sober weddings, an option that does not suit caterers. “We have seen an unprecedented increase in food prices, where poultry prices have reached 26 dirhams per kilogram, while red meat prices have climbed to 115 dirhams per kilogram,” said Kech24 a caterer from Casablanca.
