"I've seen lion dances in movies and at other events, but to have one for your special day brings a whole new meaning to "A Special Moment". From the drumming to the beautifully choreographed dance, these guys do it the best. The team was very organized and sat down with us to go over expectations and walked us through exactly what to do. Great experience 10 stars if I could leave more than 5. Thanks!"
