British ‘superyacht influencer’ Jonny Dodge marries entrepreneur bride in £2 million Moroccan wedding – complete with donkeys and fire breathers, six bridal looks and £300,000 worth of diamond jewellery

Known as the ‘superyacht phenomenon’, the British entrepreneur and his glamorous model partner have given glitzy destination weddings new meaning after spending £2 million on their wedding in Morocco.

Jonny Dodge, 44, is chief executive of GP Management, which organizes luxury experiences around the world, including watching European F1 races from superyachts.

After the adventurous businessman-turned-man went all out for the proposal, it’s no surprise that his wedding to glamorous entrepreneur Cameron Biafore was equally exclusive.

Jonny asked Cameron to be his wife not once but twice; they flew to Marrakesh for the wedding festivities; This included a Burning Man-inspired pool party where the bride barely wore a white bikini.

The happy couple flew 150 of their closest friends and family members to Marrakech as the wedding party took over Kasbah D’if, a private fortress in the Agafay Desert dubbed ‘Fort Dodge’ for the festivities.

Fire dancers, snake charmers and fortune tellers entertained guests, including billionaires John Caudwell, Gautam Singhania and Frank Binder, as well as Dragons’ Den star Duncan Bannatyne.

The three-day wedding included a golden hour ceremony on a private water platform with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, a rooftop black-tie gala under the stars, and a welcome dinner themed Around the World in 80 Days.

Instead of servant boys and flower girls, Jonny and Cameron hired a donkey to ‘deliver’ tequila shots to guests on both sides of the aisle.

No expense was spared on the bride’s jewelery as Cameron wore sparkling tiaras, earrings and necklaces worth over £300,000.

She also wore six custom couture looks worth $50,000, including her wedding dress designed by Beirut-born designer Zuhair Murad, who has dressed everyone from JLo to Meghan Markle.

Jonny and Cameron’s hospitality was reciprocated in kind, accepting all-expenses-paid trips to the Maldives, Madagascar and St Lucia, as well as expensive wedding gifts including homewares from Baccarat, Ralph Lauren and Assouline.

Jonny surprises Cameron with two proposals and two rings; He got down on one knee for the first time during a South African safari, before popping the question again on holiday in Antarctica.

Paying tribute to Jonny’s astronaut training, the rings are adorned with certified Mars meteorite and moonstone pieces.

Their wedding venue was Kasbah D’if, a five-star property perched on a sand dune overlooking the Agafay Desert. Nightly prices start from £315 and every suite, every courtyard and every penthouse was dedicated to Dodge-Biafore’s wedding.

For the wedding, they hired celebrity wedding planner Heloise Angelou, who planned Mel B’s wedding.

The founder of Hello Moments Co, one of Marrakesh’s most sought-after wedding companies, meticulously planned every element of the five events, from the Explorer Ball to the pool party.

The five-star Kasbah D'if resort in the Agafay Desert has been nicknamed 'Fort Dodge' for the festivities.

The bride’s wedding wardrobe included six different outfits worth over $50,000.

For the welcome ball on day one, Cameron chose the hand-embroidered Gabrielle dress from Kim Kassas Couture’s Fairest of Them All collection.

Cameron exchanged vows in an intricate, strapless Zuhair Murad gown that featured a sculptural bodice underneath a dramatic long-sleeved jacket, an overskirt that added movement and glamor, and a face-covering veil that concealed expression while enhancing presence.

She let her hair down in a unique vintage dress belonging to Cameron’s family at the after party, and then stood out at the wild pool party in a white two-piece suit from KYHA Studios.

All of her bridesmaids were gifted triple-layered diamond earrings, Juicy Couture tracksuits, personalized duffel bags, two sets of pajamas, matching ski suits for the bachelorette party, and handwritten letters.

Sepia-toned menus featuring hot air balloon illustrations saw guests tucking into tuna tartare, line-caught bass and apple tart during the reception dinner, where champagne and wine flowed freely.

Cameron, who documented the wedding party on her Instagram account, later shared a video of herself and Jonny exchanging vows on the set of a video set to Ellie Goulding’s song Love Me Like You Do.

‘I choose you today and always, as I always have and always will. Getting married feels like I’m graduating today,’ the American influencer told Jonny.

‘I vow to live our future life with unlimited love, unlimited fun, unlimited possibilities – without walls and borders,’ Jonny promised in return.

Fans flocked to the comments section to congratulate the couple, with one person writing: ‘Love your love story!’
