Hello and congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals!
In short, the best way to proceed is to do a search online for "Belly Dancers Toronto"
When I used "Google" to do this, I found this site with many listings of dancers: http://www.torontodance.com/links.php?dancetype=Bellydance
As well as this link for Habeeba who has many professional level performers!   http://www.habeeba.com/soloperformers.html
I hope these links assist you in finding a professional dancer to grace your wedding day!
