The people behind the entrance
One celebration, planned together
We have 60+ dancers on staff and rehearse several times a week. That preparation matters when drummers, dancers, your DJ and the venue all need the same entrance cue. Tell us which family traditions you want to include, who is arriving with you and which recording you want to hear as the doors open. We build the performance around those details, rather than asking your wedding to follow a fixed sequence.

Your songs, in the right order
Couples send us the songs they want, and our team works on a mixed track for the DJ. Send the exact recordings, not only song names, because a familiar song can have several versions. Mark the entrance, first dance and songs that belong to particular relatives. Tell us what should not be played too. A short, considered list gives the DJ room to respond to the guests without losing the music that matters to you.
A look that belongs in your room
Ask about outfit options when we discuss your wedding. Share the colors of the room, the couple’s clothing and any family preferences before choices are confirmed. Our dancers need clothing they can move in, while your photographer needs enough clear space to see the formation. Florals and a kosha should leave the entrance route open. We discuss those practical connections before the room is filled with guests and service staff.

Hundreds of weddings
The words families leave us
These are excerpts from real Google reviews. Families describe the drummers, the songs and the way their guests joined the celebration. One review mentions eight drummers, sparklers, fog and saxophone. Those details describe that couple’s wedding, not a standard inclusion in every booking. We confirm your own team, equipment and performance plan in your proposal. See our photographs alongside the reviews when you choose the moments you would like us to discuss.
Our wedding photographsBuild your celebration
Start with the moments you want
Use these bundles as conversation starters, not fixed promises. An entrance-focused evening needs a different team from a reception with live music, a DJ and several performance sets. We confirm availability, duration and inclusions with you before booking. Pricing depends on guests, drummers, dancers, duration and travel; starting ranges on request. Ask us to separate the essential moments from optional additions so the proposal reflects your priorities.

Custom Package
A plan built around your celebration, with the team and details agreed together.
- Performers and music chosen with you
- Lighting
- Timing and musical direction agreed together
Begin with your entrance
Choose where the procession starts and where you want it to end. Tell us whether your family will walk with you, watch from their tables or meet you on the dance floor. Our drummers and dancers need a clear route without catering carts, cables or tight turns. The DJ needs the same finish cue as the performers. Once that entrance is agreed, we can discuss a later dabke set or live musician without crowding the first part of the reception.
Our Florida dates
We travel to your celebration
We serve Miami and all of Florida. An oceanfront hotel on Collins Avenue, a Coral Gables hotel, a Brickell rooftop and an Orlando resort ballroom each ask something different of the team. Send the actual venue type and event room with your inquiry. We need to know about loading access, elevators, outdoor walking surfaces and the time amplified music must finish. We do not list venue partnerships or claim an event history at a property without verification.
For Gulf-front resorts and island celebrations, travel and guest arrivals belong in the same discussion as the performance. Check when family members will reach the reception, not only when their flight lands. Summer heat and thunderstorms can change an outdoor entrance, so choose an indoor alternative with usable power and a clear procession route. We discuss both locations before the day, rather than treating a weather change as a separate performance arranged at the last moment.
All Florida regionsNotes from our team
From the Journal
Our guides cover the questions couples bring to the planning call: the difference between zaffe and dabke, how the Arabic DJ works with a bilingual MC, and what a Florida venue needs to approve. Read the guide that fits your next decision, then bring your room layout and song choices to us. A useful plan starts with the specific entrance, sound cutoff or family tradition you need to resolve, not a longer list of equipment.

Whenever you are ready
A date, a city and a rough guest count are enough to begin. If the ceremony and reception are in different places, you are welcome to mention both. The services you have in mind, and the moment that matters most, give us a lovely place to start. A photograph or floor plan is helpful when you have one. We are glad to talk through the rest with you.
A family brief, not a formula
Lebanese, Palestinian, Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian styles are part of our work, but no label replaces your family’s preferences. Send the chants, recordings or dance choices that feel familiar to you. Tell us if relatives prefer to watch a short showcase before joining the dabke, or if a mixed guest list needs an English introduction. We discuss cultural details with you rather than assuming every family wants the same music, clothing or order of events.
