Ramadan & Eid Celebrations | Héloïse Agelou

I’ve completely reimagined the text in a more personal, conversational first-person style:

When I organized those first spectacular fireworks at Royal Mansour or helped breathe new life into Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot after the earthquake, I was doing what I love most – creating magical moments. That’s what Hello Moments is all about.

My journey to luxury event planning wasn’t conventional. Growing up as a jockey, I learned to feel rhythm, anticipate movements, and work in harmony with something much greater than myself.

Those early mornings at the stables shaped how I approach celebrations today. Just like a perfect gallop, a truly memorable event needs precision, passion, and that magical sense of flow.

London taught me technique, but Marrakech gave me soul. When I moved here and founded Hello Moments & Co, I found a place where tradition and innovation dance together beautifully.

My clients – from celebrities to dreamers – come to me not just for an event but for a feeling they’ll never forget.

Ramadan & Eid through my eyes: Creating moments of timeless connection

During Ramadan, I find special meaning in my work. This sacred time is about connection, reflection, and beauty – elements that should be present in every gathering. Let me share some personal insights on making these moments extraordinary.

For iftar tables, I always begin with light. Warm, gentle illumination from candles and lanterns creates an immediate sense of welcome. I love working with earth tones and subtle golden accents – they create elegance without overwhelming the senses.

When Eid al-Fitr arrives, it deserves a celebration that honors its significance. I transform spaces using light and harmony, carefully selecting scents like oud or orange blossom that evoke renewal.

The table becomes a centerpiece of joy – artisanal ceramics, traditional sweets, and mint tea or Arabic coffee creating a feast for all senses.

Gift-giving is an art I particularly enjoy. A beautifully wrapped perfume, handcrafted candles, or prayer beads chosen specifically for the recipient shows thoughtfulness.

For the little ones, I always prepare special surprises – colorful bags of treats or personalized Eidiya envelopes. The handwritten note accompanying each gift matters most – words of gratitude and love that remain long after the day ends.

What I love most about creating Eid celebrations is blending the timeless with the contemporary – a refined dinner that honors culinary traditions while introducing new elements, music that touches the soul, and evenings under star-filled skies where memories are made through shared stories and laughter.

True luxury isn’t about extravagance; it’s about creating moments that resonate in the heart forever. That’s my passion, and that’s what Hello Moments brings to every celebration.
