Lion Dance Troupe in South Jersey or Philadelphia

vbd413

I know I really should post on South Jersey's board, but there's not many cultural requests on there.  I am looking to book a dance troupe to intro the bride and groom or to intro the bride and groom when the cake cutting starts which might mark when I have an outfit change from the bustled western dress to my Chinese Inspired reception dress.

I've written to a couple of troops in the Philadelphia area, but it's hard to get an answer or a price from anyone about their services.

Has anyone had this done in the tristate area?  If so do you have contact info?  Our wedding is in Toms River, New Jersey, approximately 1.5 hrs from Philly and 2-ish hrs from NYC.

Thanks

Hello, not sure when your wedding is or was but I am a member of Eastern Arts which is a traditional Chinese lion dance team located on Long Island. We primarily focus on New Years shows and parades however we have done several weddings and public events such as cultural events at local high schools and universities. A full 30-40 show would usually runs approx $300 however your show would require greater than average travel times and I would have to talk to my Sifu before providing an official quote. The schools contact number is 1-631-808-3030, our website is <a href="http://www.kungfulongisland.com/" rel="nofollow">www.kungfulongisland.com</a> and since I do a majority of the booking I will provide you with my email address (<a href="mailto:warriorstao@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">warriorstao@gmail.com</a>). I hope your wedding is amazing and if we can be of any service please feel free to contact us.
