Report
Mission Dance and Lee are phenomenal. Our guests can't stop raving about how awesome and talented every member is. Truly can't express the gratitude we have for experiencing the best for our wedding. This band brought the energy at out venue to a whole other level, the dance floor was packed at all times. They are a pleasure to work with and are great people. We're sad how quick our wedding went by but have been referring them to others so we can party all over again with Lee and the Mission Dance team! 5/5
