This includes a variety of entertainers, such as sitar players, henna tattoo artists, belly dancers, comedians, speakers, and more.
Middle Eastern entertainment is particularly great for cultural festivals and holiday events like a Diwali party. And they could provide an educational experience for students at school or college events.
These talented performers can also be a good addition to more general gatherings like themed events, lounge performances, grand openings, and corporate galas. Regardless of the event, you will surely create an unforgettable experience for your guests.
On average, the price for hiring Middle Eastern entertainment is $300 to $400 for a one-hour booking. The exact price will vary based on your location, the type of entertainer you book, and their experience level.
The space Middle Eastern entertainers require will vary based on the type of provider you book. For henna tattoo artists, a small space can accommodate their equipment and another individual receiving the tattoo. In contrast, a belly dancer will require plenty of space to dance and move freely. Communicate with your vendor and the venue before the event date to ensure performances go smoothly.
Professional Middle Eastern entertainers and services provide their equipment, costumes, or instruments. Discuss the type of equipment they will bring beforehand so you can ensure they have enough space on stage or access to plugins for electrical gear.
Entertainers can usually customize their performances to fit your event’s theme or atmosphere. Whether it’s the style of music, the timing, or the type of dancing, discuss your ideas before booking to make sure you receive exactly what you envision for your event.
