Why have a lion dance at your wedding?

Lions are symbols of courage, protection, and good fortune. At a wedding, they greet the couple, bow to both sets of parents, and bless the new family. For many older relatives, the lion dance is the moment the celebration feels complete. For younger guests, it is the moment their phones come out.

A lion dance also brings energy to the room. The drums lift the atmosphere right before the couple walks in, which makes it a favourite for grand entrances.

When does the lion dance happen during a wedding?

Couples usually choose one of these moments:

1. Before the tea ceremony, to bless the families
2. Banquet grand entrance, with the lions leading the couple into the hall
3. During the banquet, as a highlight between courses
4. Outdoor or garden weddings, where the lions greet guests on arrival
