Carrara was magical, breathtaking, and heartfelt by everyone. I am still receiving emails and thank you cards from our guests, thanking me for inviting them to our wedding.

How Orlando Belly Dancer Carrara Nour Can Enhance Your Wedding:

Looking for a little bit of inspiration? Here are a couple of Carrara’s favorite tried-and-true ways to integrate a belly dance show into your Orlando wedding. For sample pricing and packages, check out her Booking Page.

• Reception Entertainment – Looking for the perfect transition from dinner to dancing? Entertain your guests with a full-length belly dance show during the last course/s of your meal! By the time your guests have finished eating, they will be ready to join Carrara on the dance floor. For maximum glamor, consider a 2-part show with a costume change!
  

  

• Cocktail Hour – Fill every minute of your wedding day with excitement, including the down time between your ceremony and reception. A belly dance show during your cocktail hour is a stylish diversion while guests wait for you and your bridal party to make your grand entrance.
• Zeffa - The zeffa (also spelled zaffa) is a traditional Arabic wedding procession where the belly dancer leads the newlyweds through the room and to their table, often balancing a lit candelabra (shamadan) on her head to symbolically light the way for the couple. (A flameless LED option is available for Orlando wedding venues that prohibit fire). A Middle Eastern showstopper that never goes out of style.
• Wedding Ceremony - Did you know that you could have a belly dancer dance you down the aisle? While this option is far less common, one of Carrara’s all-time fondest wedding memories involved dancing the bride down the aisle to the couple’s favorite song.
• Bridal Entrance Choreography - Make your entrance in style with a choreographed entrance for your bridal party. This is the ultimate choice for the bride who’s not afraid to stand out! To find out if this choice is right for you, check out Carrara’s blog post: How to Pull off a Bridal Entrance Choreography.
• Indian Shaadi - Treat your entire family to an elegant belly dance show custom-tailored for your wedding, sangeet or mendhi party. Carrara continually wins the respect of Indian couples with her keen understanding of India’s diverse music, culture and wedding customs. She is more than happy to use Hindi or Punjabi music for a fun Bollywood twist.
• Rehearsal Dinners & Engagement Parties- Who says you have to save all the fun for your wedding day? A belly dance performance is the perfect way to break the ice and get everyone in the mood for celebration at your rehearsal dinner or engagement party!
• Interactive Workshops for Bachelorette Parties and Bridal Showers – Treat the Bride to Be and all your guests to an afternoon or evening of girl bonding with a full-length belly dance workshop at your home or the location of your choosing. A great choice for the bride who seeks a chic alternative to the typical (and sometimes, cheesy) bridal shower and bachelorette party activities! Check out the following post from Carrara’s blog for photos from a Real Bachelorette Party in Oviedo.

Exotic! This is the first word that comes to mind when I think about this belly dancer. When you get to know her a little you realize she is also charming and kind. She works very hard at her craft, always adding to her repertoire. With an exotic name like Carrara Nour you can expect to be impressed…and you will not be disappointed!

Did You Know…?

• 72% of brides say they “wish they would have spent more time researching their reception entertainment.”

Reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities. Within one week after the reception, 78% of brides said they should have made entertainment their highest priority!
• When asked, 81% of guests said that the one thing they remembered most about the wedding was the entertainment at the reception.
• 93% of brides said they would have spent more of their budget on entertainment.
• Any belly dancer can buy a couple of costumes, create a web presence, and call herself a “pro” whether or not she’s ready to perform and do business at the professional level. There are no mandatory licenses, certifications, or industry regulations to protect brides against this misleading (yet common) practice.
• The average wedding budget in Orlando is $20,000. An experienced Orlando belly dancer will charge at least $200 for a wedding show. With approximately 1% of your budget contributing toward 80% of your guests’ enjoyment, a belly dance show is a small investment that delivers huge and powerful results!
