Golden Palms Group

Three divisions share every project at Golden Palms Group, a Moroccan company that has produced events and managed destinations from Marrakech since 2009. It also has an office in Casablanca and describes its services as available across Morocco, for both corporate and private clients.

Events produced under one roof

Its production arm, called Golden Palms Events, covers audiovisual work, design, staging, decoration and printing, plus the logistics of moving delegates between sessions and activities. The company says it handles conferences, gala dinners, product launches, media events, team-building days and private parties, and can also help with venue hire. A team of event planners, producers, venue managers and technicians works on these projects, according to the firm.

Destination management for groups

Under the name Golden Palms Trip, the destination management side specialises in meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, with curated tours. It describes handling guests from airport arrival through accommodation, restaurants, museums, excursions and team activities. The wider travel offer covers corporate travel, group travel, flights, private jet and yacht charter, hotel booking and a VIP concierge.

Film production services

The film division supports productions with location scouting, casting, crew and cinema equipment hire. It lists feature films, commercials, music promotions, documentaries, television serials, reality shows and fashion and beauty shoots among the work it supports. For shoots outside Morocco it says it draws on a network of about fifty trusted partner companies through an associate office in London.

Working method and presence

The firm says its method is to immerse itself in a client's culture, goals or personal wishes before delivering a service on time and on budget. Its site records attendance at travel and meetings trade shows in Europe and the United States, which it uses to meet international partners. It has also extended its destination and film services beyond Morocco for international customers.
