I should have written a review when it was still fresh in my head in 2013. My wife and I wanted to hire these guys for our wedding day after finding them on Unilocal.One hidden review stated the obvious; they don’t answer emails or phone calls… and you need to be persistent on getting someone to answer. After a couple of months of trying to get through, someone in charge actually answered my call and said«yes, we’ve got you on our calendar.» Scared us, because this is the troop that we liked and knew they would show everyone a good time. CLDT did show up on our wedding day and prepared to entertain our guests as well as the entire reception hall. Even the restaurant kitchen shut down to witness their incredible performance. I’m just thrilled that this came together on our day. This was my wife’s dream to have lion dancers at her wedding ceremony and they helped make that dream come true.

Hire them for weddings, business grand openings, birthday parties, or whatever special occasion you have. I had them as a surprise guest at my wedding and they laid low until the DJ welcomed them in. Everyone was shocked and had a great time.

My team has worked with Cherng Loong in many Chinese community events these past several years. They’ve grown from a small highschool club team to a full fledged team with pretty lions. Good job Cherng Loong! This team has a strong reputation in terms of quality and performance. They took home an award at the National Freestyle Lion Dance Championship in 2005. =]

Cherng Loong performed at my wedding and it is probably the most talked about and remembered element from the entire wedding. For the Wow factor, this was probably the most reasonably priced thing we could have done. We got the three lions and highly recommend them. The troupe arrived on time and ready to go and gave a great performance. One thing to keep in mind is that even though Chris(I think he is the teacher) was easy to work with and was organized on the day of, he is not as receptive on email. However, when I called him on the phone, he knew exactly who I was and knew the particulars of the event.

I hired these guys as a surprise for my wedding guests. They were a HUGE hit and everyone loved them. I had a very«western» wedding and wanted a little bit of my culture at the wedding so I hired a lion dance troupe. They’re very reasonably priced and really easy to work with. Since they were a surprise for our guests they had to hide out and make sure no one saw them and then come out at exactly the right moment after our ceremony all of which they did perfectly. They were a great way to get the party started at our wedding!

These guys are pretty awesome. I have seen them perform quite a number of times for the past 5 – 6 years. They have grown from a few misfits, to a well oiled machine. They also have a huge fan base on Youtube.
