We have a variety of ways to be involved:

• interactive audience participation games

One happy couple had this to say:
"I just wanted you to know that you and your dancers added a special touch to our wedding. Even though I had planned to have you ladies come and perform, I was still surprised, excited and thrilled at the dances and music you chose to perform. My husband said afterward, that it was one of the best things we spent our money on.
The dancers, the music, the costumes and the great energy were amazing. Your performance helped to make our guests comfortable and they were surprised by the entertainment. Your performance gave our wedding that extra touch of the African/Caribbean theme we had intended and was a demonstration of African/Caribbean culture that some guests have not experienced. I had some guests say that they felt like they were on a Caribbean Island.
After their wedding day, most brides think about what went wrong and what they would have changed. With all the things that may not have gone 100% as planned, the performance by the Caribbean Dance Theatre was an aspect of our wedding that I would not have changed at all. The music was uplifting and it fit perfectly with the theme of our wedding. The outfits were vibrant, the ladies beautiful and the performance top notch.
Thank you so much for being part of our special day and adding that touch of class to our event. It is a memory that we will cherish forever.
I will definitely have you and your company in mind when we have other events and when I am helping to plan the wedding of my three sisters, friends and other family. May God always bless you and continue to keep you successful in all your future endeavours."
-- Gbemi & Paul Major, married September 2006
