“« I worked with Mr. Akaaboune, Managing Director of Golden Palms Group, on a large complicated meeting we were holding in Marrakesh. Mr. Akaaboune was the most responsive and professional meeting planner I have worked with. Everything I requested was handled quickly and efficiently. Mr. Akaaboune and his team made our participants all feel like VIP's. He handled last minute changes immediately, without complaint. Working with Golden Palms Group alleviated the stress and frustration of holding a large meeting. If you are looking for a company that can handle every last detail of your meeting then contact Mr. Akaaboune. I will certainly partner with him the next time I hold a meeting in Morocco! ».”

“« Ketchum employed Golden Palms as the production agency for a Wella Professionals Global Media Event that took place in Marrakech. The event was hugely successful and Ketchum were more than satisfied with the services provided by Golden Palms.
Reda Akaaboune provided services from the planning stages, thorough event execution and assisted with post event tasks. The entire production process lasted 3 months and services included the following:
- Venue sourcing - Third party supplier sourcing (photographer, videographer, hosts) - Production build (a pop-up salon was built in the spa of the hotel venue) - Catering and evening event production - Entertainment sourcing - Transport coordination
In addition, I was very grateful for Reda Akaaboune’s personal attention and counsel on the ground. His approach to problem solving was exceptional, when a confirmed venue unfortunately experienced a fire days before our event, Reda was able to source an alternative venue at no extra cost to us. Reda Akaaboune was an exceptional partner to Ketchum and I was constantly impressed by his ability to deliver.
Ketchum plan and organise media events all around the world and I have yet to meet an Event Director as skilled as Reda Akaaboune. ».”

“Dear Mr. Akaaboune,
I hereby would like to share my sincere appreciation for the support from the Golden Palms Group
during our 55th Annual Meeting in Marrakech, Morocco.
The event was a great successful, followed by a motion of positive responses from our
delegates attendees for our council meeting as well for the evening dinners and outing activities,
namely the spouse program and the group tour.
Remarkably, we have discovered Marrakech in the best way possible in exploring the history,
the culture, culinary and more importantly the incredible hospitality the city has to offer.
The experience for our evening events at the Palais Souleiman and the at the Palm Grove (1001-
night party) were the epic of the event as we were brought to the true art and history of Morocco
and its heritage. The incredible services for the dinner in coordination with the Royal Mansour was
the touch of excellence in your services for this year event.
This year event in Marrakesh will remain for many years to come in our memories, thanks to you and
to the great support from the Golden Palms Group.

Yours sincerely,

FCI Director of Administration & Finance”

“Throughout my career in the hospitality industry, I've had the opportunity to work with different suppliers around the world. While the majority are "strong" and clearly in the right field, there are times when you can tell suppliers no longer have the passion for what they do.

Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to Reda Akaaboune. From the moment we partnered together, I could tell that not only did he want all to go well, but he genuinely cared that my team and I were set up for success. He cared that our attendees really did enjoy themselves in his destination, and he cared that everyone was happy, safe and having a memorable time.

Throughout the planning and onsite execution, Reda and I communicated often (a pleasant surprise because despite being an owner, he didn't disappear once the contract was signed) His goals and plans for the future of his company are admirable and strong. He lives the idea of hospitality in all he does and truly is passionate about this field. He understands the idea that if you take care of those on your team, they will take care of those you partner with. His team is dedicated, sharp and nothing short of lovely to work with. A testament to the strong leadership they have.

My experience in this destination was successful in large part to Reda and his company. We are better (both in our roles and as people) having partnered with them. They showed us kindness, commitment and perseverance.
I look forward to working with Reda again - he is a tough act to follow!”

“Shout out to Reda Akaaboune! In October of 2023 we teamed up for a 3-hour event with 75 attendees on the sidelines of the World Bank / IMF Annual Meetings in Marrakech. Let me tell you, it was top-notch – from the on-stage program to the buzzing networking reception.

What truly stood out?
1️⃣ Prompt Communication - Reda kept the updates rolling, ensuring we never felt out of the loop.
2️⃣ Clear Recommendations - His advice? Gold. Made our decisions so much easier.
3️⃣ Detail-Oriented - From big plans down to the tiniest of details, Reda had it all under control. Even our last-minute additions were handled with a cool head and a ready solution.
4️⃣ Local Expertise - Organizing in Morocco comes with its unique set of challenges. But Reda, with his deep understanding of the region, tackled everything with transparency and finesse.

Big thanks to Reda and his team at Golden Palms Group. If you're looking for someone who brings excellence to the table, he's your guy. Cheers to many more collaborations!”

“Planning an event from abroad is never easy, often stressful, and sometimes complicated. Not for us! We found Event Planner Marrakech and Reda Akaaboune for our company event in Marrakech, Morocco.
Integrated Biometrics (IB) is a US-based company whose specialty is biometric fingerprint devices—not global event planning and management. In March of 2022, IB reached out to Event Planner Marrakech in search of a site to host 150 customers, partners, and competitors in Marrakech. The event was a big investment for our small company; thus, success was crucial.
Reda Akaaboune, owner of Event Planner Marrakech was amazing. Prior to the event, he worked closely with us to relieve our concerns and ensure a success. He found us an exceptional location and worked closely with everyone involved to design a food and drink menu that met our needs and those of our guests. On the evening of the event, he was the first to arrive and the last to leave. He personally ensured everything ran smoothly from temperature of the beer (ice cold) to temperature of the food (searing hot). Reda was courteous, knowledgeable, thorough, and quick to respond to all our questions and concerns. At the end of the night, our customers were delighted, our partners were impressed, and our competitors were jealous.
Integrated Biometrics, and I personally, highly recommend contacting him for your event needs.”
