Wedding venues in Nouakchott: the complete guide by capacity and price

Choosing a venue in Nouakchott starts with two questions: how many guests, and what budget? We have ordered this guide by capacity rather than ranking venues best to worst — because a venue that suits a 500-guest wedding does not suit a 60-person henna night.

All prices below are the starting prices listed on Umsiyeti, per booking. The list covers 16 places from 14 different owners, all in Nouakchott.

For small gatherings (up to 70 guests)

Suited to henna nights and small family occasions.

• Furnished apartment: 5,000 MRU, capacity 50
• Villa Sahraoui: 15,000 MRU, capacity 70

For mid-size weddings (100 to 300 guests)

This is the fullest tier on the list.

• party time hall: 20,000 MRU, capacity 100
• Istanbul hall: 25,000 MRU, capacity 200
• Villa Hayatt: 25,000 MRU, capacity 300
• villa hayatt 2: 35,000 MRU, capacity 200

For large weddings (500 guests and up)

• Al-Massa: 40,000 MRU, capacity 800
• Kenzi hall: 50,000 MRU, capacity 500
• Qasr Al-Saada: 60,000 MRU, capacity 500

Price does not track capacity

Look at the list above: Al-Massa seats 800 guests at 40,000, while Qasr Al-Saada seats 500 at 60,000. The most expensive is not the biggest.

If your guest count is the binding constraint, sort by capacity first and look at price second.

Places with no declared capacity

Seven of the sixteen places do not state a capacity. If the number matters to you, ask directly before booking.

• Dar Al-Mounasabat: 18,000 MRU
• Dar Yaqout: 20,000 MRU
• Dar Lehsan: 23,000 MRU
• Dar Alf Layla wa Layla: 30,000 MRU
• Villa for receptions: 40,000 MRU
• Al-Mourad hall: 50,000 MRU
• Itfak hall: 55,000 MRU

Before you book, ask about these

• Is decoration included or billed separately?
• Exactly how long is the booking: one evening or 24 hours?
• Is there parking, and for how many cars?
• Can you bring in an outside caterer?
• What is the cancellation and postponement policy?

Frequently asked questions

• How many places are available? 16 places from 14 owners, all in Nouakchott. No venues are listed in Nouadhibou yet.
