Onelli, a singer for events: live with a DJ and dancers

A singer for your event brings what a playlist cannot: a live voice, a song dedicated to the people in the room and a moment when the whole hall sings along. Onelli comes to events with a DJ, a full sound system and dancers, so the night flows without gaps. The music never stops between sets, and the dance floor does not empty while one act makes way for the next.

Who Onelli is

Onelli is a singer with her own show, Onelli Show, where she takes the stage together with dancers. The show was born in clubs, where it comes on as the peak of the night rather than the warm-up, and from there it moved to private events: weddings, henna nights, bar mitzvahs and company evenings. She sings in Hebrew and English, works with crowds of every age and knows how to move a whole hall from the tables to the dance floor.

At an event Onelli does not replace the DJ. She comes in for the moments when a live voice makes the difference, and the DJ holds all the time in between.

Three Onelli packages for your event

So you do not have to coordinate three suppliers, Onelli's show comes in packages. Each one includes a DJ and gear; the difference is how many dancers take the stage and how big the night is.

The price of each package depends on the date, the area and the length of the night, and you get it in a written quote once you send the event details. You can also start with one package and add an act to it, such as a special entrance or undercover dancers.

How Onelli, the DJ and the dancers work together

The DJ holds the night from start to finish. He plays while guests arrive, sets up the moment Onelli takes the stage and brings the floor back to recorded music when she steps down. Onelli sings short sets when she has an audience: once guests are seated, after the hosts make their entrance and towards the end of the night. The dancers join for some of the songs, usually two or three in a row, and also come down to the floor to pull guests in.

There are no dead moments: nobody waits five minutes while gear is plugged in, and no show ends with guests drifting back to their tables. What happens on stage carries straight onto the dance floor.

The repertoire

The set list is built around your guests, so the first thing Onelli asks is who is coming. It usually has three colours:

• celebration songs and Mizrahi hits, for the dance floor and the family moments;
• current Israeli pop, for the younger crowd;
• English hits, for dancing and the party after.

You can request specific songs: one for the couple's entrance, one the bride's mother loves, or one that is an inside joke among friends. Send requests a week or two ahead so there is time to prepare them properly.

The dancers inside the show

The dancers' style follows the music. Belly dancers take the Mizrahi block, samba dancers with feathers join the upbeat songs, and go-go dancers bring up whoever is still sitting when the dance floor hour comes. You can keep one style for the whole night or combine two. Each dancer knows in advance which song she comes in on, which side of the stage she takes and when she goes down to the guests.

A singer for weddings, henna nights, bar mitzvahs and company events

At a wedding Onelli sings at the couple's entrance and in the set after dinner, and she fits into any wedding entertainment you have planned for the rest of the night. If you are torn between a singer and a DJ, the article singer or DJ for a wedding compares the two.

At a henna night she opens the procession while the dancers lead the bride, which is how a henna night show sounds with live music from the first minute. At a bar mitzvah she sings a song picked for the boy, as part of bar mitzvah entertainment that brings the whole family to the floor. And at a company evening she comes on after the speeches, one of the corporate event entertainment options that bring the energy back to the room.

What the venue needs

The DJ brings a full rig: speakers, a mixer, wireless microphones and basic stage lighting. From the venue we need:

1. two separate power points near the stage area;
2. room for the DJ booth with free space beside it for the dancers;
3. a room or corner where the dancers can change;
4. access for setup about an hour before guests arrive.

If the venue has a resident DJ, Onelli and the dancers can work with him instead. They agree the set list and the connections in advance, and his gear stays in place.

A small event at home

A night like this does not need a hall. At a milestone birthday in a big living room, an engagement party in a courtyard or a villa party, Onelli and the DJ come with a smaller rig, and one or two dancers are enough. Guests sit close to the stage, Onelli talks to them between songs, and the evening feels like a private concert. At home, think about the neighbours and the hour, and check there is a socket that is not shared with the kitchen.

How to send the details, what the quote includes and what happens on the day are covered on the how to book page.

Questions about Onelli and the show

Does Onelli sing live?

Yes, live into a microphone over a prepared backing track. That way the sound is full without a whole band on stage.

What is the difference between Onelli Show and Onelli Gala?

Onelli Show has two dancers. Onelli Gala has four dancers, two sets and a special entrance for the couple or the guest of honour, and it suits a large event.

Can we ask for a song that is not on her list?

Yes, if you ask early enough. A new song needs rehearsal, so last-minute requests are not always possible.

Does Onelli perform all over Israel?

Yes, from the north to Eilat. For events far from the center we agree the arrival and setup time in advance.
