Afrah Events & Entertainment — Local services in Englewood

Bottom-line up front, I cannot stress enough that Afrah Events US was the best part of my entire wedding!

From the beginning, I was behind the curve in trying to plan a wedding in a foreign country all on short notice. As a foreign national who arrived in the US as a tourist coming to see her American boyfriend, I was absolutely swept up by his surprise proposal, and had less than three months to plan, organize, and put together my elaborate, multi-Arab national, destination, multicultural, U.S. Marine Corps/Military wedding. Afrah Events US (New Jersey) were the first vendors I reached out to—after days of online searches for neighboring, more affordable competitors around my wedding reception party in Quantico VA. Mr. Eyad Fakhereddine, the manager to Afrah Events US, was my first point of contact. From our first video-call together, he went above and beyond all of my expectations. Instead of just assuring me of the smooth running of his Jordanian performances on my wedding day, he voluntarily took on the role of wedding planner: helped me brainstorm realistic ideas, and guided me onto the right path of turning my vision into practical and feasible means, even before I later went onto hiring a wedding planner in close proximity to me. In other words, Eyad took time out of his ridiculously busy summer schedule to put our logistics into an organized working plan/timeline that would include vendors I had yet to hire. In our calls, I always felt at ease, listened, attended to, re-assured, and never rushed in any decisions, even when time was not on our side. On my wedding day, I could not have asked for a more streamlined, colorful, and lively performance for my grand entrance with my husband. In the hour or so they performed, I had the time of my life, dancing and signing along to and with my people. This truly was the best segment of my wedding. My wedding guests (most of whom came from Jordan), were also so amazed we could find such an authentic, genuine group of Arabs to perform for us, and still comment to this day (2 weeks into my wedding!) that Afrah Events US made and completed my wedding. In short: for any bride and/or groom doubting their money’s worth in hiring Eyad and his company, please know I could not recommend Afrah Events US more strongly. This is money well spent, and will set the stage for a fantastic evening. They have opened a new higher category of superstar service where even 5 stars does not do them...

We recently had our multicultural wedding, blending Egyptian and Indian traditions, and we can't say enough good things about Afrah Events, especially Eyad, who coordinated everything. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely understood and appreciated both cultures, which made the planning process so much easier and more enjoyable.

Eyad really went above and beyond to represent both sides of our heritage. He suggested some fantastic ideas, like having a Dhol player join our Egyptian zaffa. This was such a hit and added an energetic vibe that perfectly reflected our celebration. It was clear that he was committed to making our wedding unique and special.

As our MC, Eyad was fantastic! He paid attention to every little detail, ensuring everything flowed smoothly throughout the night. His timing was impeccable, and he made sure to pronounce every guest's name correctly, which really made everyone feel included and appreciated. It’s those thoughtful touches that truly made a difference.

The entertainment was another highlight of the evening. We had a stunning belly dancer who wowed our guests with her performance, adding a vibrant flair to the festivities. Plus, the violinist during cocktail hour set an elegant tone that everyone loved while mingling.

And let's talk about the DJ set! The dj nailed it. He seamlessly blended traditional Egyptian music with lively Indian beats, keeping the dance floor packed all night. It was incredible to see guests from both cultures dancing and having a blast together. Afrah Events has a real knack for reading the crowd and knowing just the right moment to play the perfect song.

We really put our trust in Eyad and the Afrah Events team, and they did not disappoint. Their professionalism and passion were evident in every aspect of our wedding. They truly made our day a beautiful reflection of our love story and the coming together of our families.

If you're looking for a wedding DJ and entertainment package that understands multicultural weddings, we wholeheartedly recommend Afrah Events. Thank you, Eyad, for making our wedding day unforgettable – it was everything we hoped...

I cannot say enough amazing things about the incredible team that made my daughter’s Sweet 16 party an absolute dream! From the DJ to the Debka group, belly dancer, and violinist, every single performer brought unmatched energy, talent, and passion to the event.

The DJ kept the party going all night with an awesome mix of music that had everyone—teens and adults alike—on the dance floor. Their energy was contagious, and they read the crowd perfectly, taking requests and keeping the vibe high without ever feeling pushy or overbearing.

The Debka group was phenomenal—their choreography was sharp, fun, and engaging, and they even got the guests involved, making everyone feel like part of the show. Their enthusiasm was genuine, and you could tell they truly were proud of the art and wanted everyone to have a great time.

The belly dancer (Nadya) was stunning, adding a touch of elegance and excitement to the party. Her performance was mesmerizing, and she interacted with the guests in such a warm and inviting way.

And the violinist? Absolutely breathtaking. She brought a sophisticated yet fun energy that elevated the entire event.

What really stood out was how every single performer seemed to genuinely care about making the night special. They weren’t just there to do a job—they were there to make people happy, and it showed. At one point, I was struggling with my broken foot, and they went out of their way to help me, whether it was grabbing me a seat, checking in on me, or just making sure I was comfortable. That level of kindness and attentiveness is rare and so appreciated!

Plus, they were transparent and fair with pricing—no hidden fees or last-minute upcharges, which was so refreshing.

If you want top-tier entertainment that will leave your guests raving (and even take care of you like family), book this team immediately! They made the night magical, and I can’t recommend them enough. 10/10!

Thank you for making my daughter’s Sweet 16 unforgettable—and for looking out...
