Be prepared to enjoy our indoor dinner buffet as well as a night of music and dancing. The night will also include a lion dance by the White Lotus Dragon & Lion Dance performing arts group during which the couple is blessed with good fortune and prosperity -- feel free to "feed" the lion with small cash donations to show your appreciation to the lion as it makes it's way around the room! In addition, the couple will make their way across the room for the traditional "Chào Bàn" or table greetings to each table; this is the time to present your well wishes & red envelopes to the couple. Keep an eye out also for the late night snacks if you get hungry after dinner!
