Grand Entrance Group is Canada’s top leader in wedding entrances. With over 20 years of experience, our talented musicians will ensure the entrance to your special event will provide energy and liveliness leaving you and your guests with an unforgettable experience. In Middle Eastern culture, the wedding entrance, also known as the “Zaffeh”, is the pivotal moment of the evening where the newlyweds are brought in the grandest fashion. Whether your preference is traditional, modern, or a little bit of both, GEG will work with you to achieve your dream Zaffeh.
It is your choice how many musicians you would like for your grand entrance. The most common is 4 drummers which really is perfect and gets the party going but we have done grand entrances of up to 15 drummers.
Our standard costume consists of black dress pants and a white dress shirt but can add accessories (top hat, bow tie and suspenders) at your request.
We also do offer the traditional Lebanese attire (Sherwel).
Each zaffe entrance is usually 12-15 minutes long as we cater to different request and customizations.
Music played during our zaffes is a mix of traditional and contemporary Lebanese wedding songs.
Grand Entrance Group made our wedding! Milad and his team first came to the brides house to perform for my departure, and they made sure they were on time, dressed exactly as requested, and nailed the zaffe. When it came time for the reception, I had requested a colab with a saxophone player and DJ. Milad made sure to set up a dress rehearsal for his whole team, including the other performers to make sure they perform in unison. That shows true dedication!!! He made sure he had a team of 8 people for our reception to achieve what my husband and I were looking for. They brought so much life to our reception entrance, and nailed the style of zaffe we were looking for! We still have friends and family come up to us 2 years later raving about the zaffe performance. I cannot recommend Milad and his team enough!! And on top of it all, he does it all with a huge smile on his face and is so easy to work and communicate with. Highly highly recommend booking them for your next zaffe! - Mike & Stephanie
We really wanted a unique (but still traditional) zaffe for our Arabic/Persian wedding, so we spoke with Milad from Grand Entrance Group who understood exactly what we wanted. They did an amazing job and coordinated well with the other performers. Our entrance was our favourite part of our wedding! We highly recommend them! - Sally & Moe
We used the Grand Entrance Group for our engagement party and wedding, and they exceeded our expectations at both events. From beginning to end, dealing with Milad was an absolute breeze. He was so easy to communicate with and was able to accommodate all our needs for both events, with professionalism. The group members put on an outstanding zaffe. Each member was enthusiastic and truly engaged with our guests, to get the party started. Our guests kept coming up to us and telling us that it was the best zaffe they have ever seen. I have recommended them to so many couples, as they plan their wedding. There just isn’t enough I could say to capture exactly how amazing they are. - Randa & Mike
We hired Grand Entrance Group for our wedding zaffe in 2019. We had seen him and his group at previous weddings and was so impressed, I knew I needed to have them for our wedding. Planning a wedding was extremely stressful as we had a lot of family and friends from out of town, but Milad took care of the entrance from beginning to end and made the process so smooth. The moment they came through the doors, the energy and liveliness was incredible! Every single wedding attendee got up from their seat to watch their performance and joined and danced! I highly recommend hiring them. I could not imagine our wedding without Milad and his teams zaffe! - Lisa & Stefan
