Wan Chi Ming Hung Gar Institute Dragon and Lion Dance Team

We hired this troupe to perform at our wedding in NJ and I'm so happy we did! The whole thing was surprise for everyone and definitely made our wedding super memorable. We have so many cool photos from the night. Working with Warren was painless and he explained everything in detail + answered our questions. We were even able to pick the lion colors from their catalog. They were worth every penny!

We hired their lion dance team for our wedding in 2023. They arrived on time, put on a stunning show, with well maintained costumes. Their percussion team is equally amazing. Our guests loved the surprise performance!

Highly recommend this lion dance team. I booked a performance a week before my wedding therefore I wasn't able to have bench/pole included in my performance but even their floor work was amazing. They really pay attention to details during the performance. Sometimes with lion dances, the back tail person isn't doing as much, but Warren's crew paid special attention... the tail person would even move their bottoms lion's tail when the lion was "sitting" on the ground, which really made the lion come to life. This was such a special performance for my family and guests, I'm so glad I booked with Wan Chi Ming!

I hired Wan Chi Ming Hung Gar for a Lion Dance performance for my wedding and I have to say they went above and beyond my expectations! I has been a month since the wedding and friends and family are still talking about the performance! Warren was very easy to work with and was always available to chat, he communicated well and you can tell he is very experienced. Warren asked all the right questions and took care of everything so that there was nothing for me to worry about day of the wedding. He even made sure to note whether the performance was a surprise to my guests and made sure to stay out of sight until the guests were seated. All of the "I's" were dotted and "T's" crossed. My family is not very easy to impress and I have to say they are all still gushing about this troupe. I can not express enough how much I would recommend Wan Chi Ming Hung Gar to anyone who is considering a Lion Dance Performance. You will not regret it!

Having a traditional lion dance was something we wanted from the early days of planning our reception. Warren Wan was great to work with - organized, and available to hop on a quick call if needed. The lion dance team put on a really awesome, energetic surprise performance that wowed our family and friends. Thank you for everything!

Wan Chi Ming's lion dance is spectacular. We booked them for our company's anniversary. Everyone is impressed by the cuteness of lions.

My husband and I booked a lion dance from here for our wedding less than a week ago. They were fantastic! People kept telling us during and after our wedding that they would never forget our wedding because of the lion dance. We worked with Warren, who was very patient and easy to work. He answered our questions immediately over email, then we met him to choose the lion heads that we wanted. The dancers got to the venue in midtown early and were ready when called. We got the regular wedding package, and I'm glad we didn't get the benches because the dancers would have hit their heads on the chandeliers that's how high they were going. They were a surprise for our guests and they definitely amped up the energy! You can choose how long you want the dance to go for - we chose 13 minutes or so, and if I were to do it again I would opt for 8-10.

These guys were awesome. I can't recommend them enough. It was a pleasure working with Warren, who was professional, courteous, and highly responsive to all of my emails. WCMHG offers a number of different performances, depending on the occasion, and can weave in additional acrobatics if you're willing to pay a little more. Their selection of lion costumes is second to none. In fact, Warren sent me a "catalogue" of costumes to choose from. On the day of the event, the performers arrived at our venue in NJ on time and were dressed and ready to go when announced. Our guests were blown away when the lions hit the floor with their flashing eyes and wiggling bums moving in step with the resounding drums. Half of our guests had never seen a lion dance performance before and couldn't stop gushing about it afterwards. One such guest made us promise not to tell his wife that he thought our wedding, especially the lion dancers, was even better than his own. The other half of the guests had seen lion dances before, yet were still impressed with the quality of the costumes and the talent of the dancers and percussionists. Several have since requested their contact information for future events. All in all, even though it was a bit pricey, hiring these guys as a special treat for our guests was totally worth it. Their performance was unique, memorable, and beats out a wedding photo booth any day!

We found Warren and his team as a result of them performing at my wife's cousin's wedding in Long Island about a month ago. The performance was great, and my wife's mom literally chased the lion dancers down after their show to get their information. I just had my reception/banquet at Mudan Celebration Center in Flushing, and these guys were incredible! Everyone was amazed, and the kiddies were loving it. My non-Chinese and Chinese too guests haven't stopped talking about the performance since. As another reviewer voiced, they were on time and patiently waited outside as our reception was also running late and pretty much bum rushed and surprised us all with their colorful pink and red lion costumes and drum team. Only a few people, including my wife, knew about them coming, and she was still surprised! Making the reservation was easy, and Warren provided information in a timely fashion. All details were taken care of -- my only complaint is that one scroll was suppose to be in English and both displayed were in Chinese, but it didn't make a difference to anyone. This team literally made the night memorable for all.

If you want the Absolute Best Lion Dancer in New York and I would go as far as to say one of the Elites in the U.S, this is the team that can rightfully claim and hold that title. They also teach and perform Hung Style Gung Fu both empty hands and weapons, perform the Unicorn and Dragon dances The largest Dragon in the east coast is owned by them and featured in some movies-The Sorcerer's Apprentice, etc All in all, a well rounded traditional Kung Fu/Lion Dance troupe and they travel if needed.
